WHarris1 Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 (edited) hahahahahahaha Ouch. Around 5.33 MIL/YR for Jacque? Yuck Edited December 21, 2005 by WHarris1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Tizzle Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 He's utterly useless against Left handers. Is he any better of an option than Burnitz? I wouldn't think so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 So Hendry had all offseason to find the perfect RF, and he locks up J. Jones to a 3 yr deal? He'll be great on days the wind's blowing out, and he'll be worthless when it's blowing in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gene Honda Civic Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 The funniest thing about this deal is that a ton of people predicted this almost a year ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flash Tizzle Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 It's tough for Hendry to assemble a team when there aren't clubs willing to accept his "talent' in return for quality players seeking high salaries. Pittsburgh must have disconnected their phone line this offseason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevHead0881 Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 I've always thought Jones was kind of a peckerhead. Combine that with the fact that he isn't very good and he'll fit right in with the northsiders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punch and Judy Garland Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 As a Cardinal fan in the NL I was bracing myself for having to root for a hated Twin in Jones. Looks like I won't have to go that route now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That funky motion Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 3 years huh. Cud fans are already pissed off because,they think they were going to get C.Lee next year. When you see moves like this it makes you appreicate KW!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're basically bringing Burnitz back. Another player who strikes out a lot, and sucks against LHPs. In other news, we only have to face him 6 times instead of 19.

SoxFan562004 Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 it's a perfect signing for the Cubs, he'll hit 20-25 homeruns to excite the Cubs fans, and make some flashy plays for the highlight reel. I know someone mentioned that Cubs fans thought C. Lee was coming, I always like to think of the lineup the Cubs fans thought they would have when players are asked questions when they come to town, I can think of: C- I-Rod 2b- Soriano SS- Furcal/Tejada (Cubs fans thought Tejada was here and no chance of him going anywhere else CF- Damon/Beltran I mean it's crazy.

SSH2005 Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 The Indians get the Cubs' 2nd round pick for Howry. The Giants get the Cubs' 3rd round pick for Eyre. The Twins get the Cubs' 4th round pick for Jones. Jesus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AddisonStSox Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 Fish Food!!?? That's it!!?? That's your ace in the hole!!?? Whatever credibility Hendry had lingering from his previous moves is all but packed up and left. This signing is just pathetic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoda Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 With the kind of payroll that the Cubs have, you’d think they would make better signings. Just give Kenny Williams and Co. that money and they will at least put a winning team on the field that will go to the playoffs for years to come.
