I personally could have done without Nomar, yes it's huge, but he's a free agent next season. That's a major problem. If the Cubs wanted a win-now kind of player, there was many better options, as he's been hurt, alot, and really not playing THAT well.
I was slightly concerned about that, being a Cubs fan.
However, Alex Gonzo wasen't anything to give up, and really all in all, I"m actully pretty pleased.
The Cubs with the pitching staff completly healthy, are still a major threat, the only problem is they don'tp lay the Cards again this season. But they could still pull it off with that pitching staff. If the Cubs make the wild card, and even though I'm biased, with the addition of Nomar, I think they are a team many can see making the big show - they woulden't be underdogs to anyone in the NL.
Overall, I'm pretty happy. =)
