The Grace situation shows me the moronic behavior of the Cubs. They were saying they didn't want to pay Grace the money because they were a few years away, etc. etc. They bring in Stairs and he doesn't give Sosa the protection they were looking for. Grace would have taken a two year deal from the Cubs and the Cubs will end up spending MORE for McGriff than they would have spent on Grace. That entire McGriff issue would have never been an issue if they kept Grace. Look at the numbers Grace is putting up this year? That's why I'm glad I'm not a cubs fan, the Tribune Company showed why they didn't really care about putting a winning product on the field. If Don Baylor hadn't INSISTED they go after McGriff, don't think for ONE MINUTE the higher ups would have pursued it.
