This is a great trade for the Cubs as A.GONZ was only playing because of his glove (despite the fact that he was the one that blew that DP oppty after the Bartman fiasco in game 6 last year). He contributed nothing to the Cubs offense and it always seemed like he would hit into a DP at key points in a game. Hopefully the Cubs get the Nomar that we saw a couple of years ago when he consistantly hit over .300. However, as a die-hard fan must admit, solving the SS problem was just 1/2 of the equation keeping the Cubs from going anywhere this season. If the Cubs had a decent closer, then I would be thinking World Series! I personally feel this trade is one of the last steps in removing the curse of the Bartman if you believe in those things, ha ha.
