Cubs sign Scott Hairston to a two year contract

[ABE32]

Campana DFA?

I see a trade or two. I like how this team is shaping up.

[KyleJRM]

Does this push Sappelt back to AAA, or is an OF traded?

Plenty of room for Sappelt. The whole point is that both Schierholtz and DeJesus need RH counterparts against LH pitching.

[TimbrH2001]

Sweet, now lets see the trade. Though Id guess we certainly cant call this signing official just yet, can we?

[deltaclown]

This is nice, but it sure would be great if we had a capable centerfielder....

[ReJo]

Not great but certainly an upgrade over Joe Mather. I like his power hopefully he can learn to get on base more consistently.

so bourn for us now basically comes down to price and if we can move sori?
so basically no bourn

Could also move Dejesus.

Can we trade for the other Hairston now too? Please?

On a serious note, this is a good signing. Needed more thump in the lineup.

[RedHeadsRule]

This is excellent. Aside from third base, I'm digging this team (considering what we heard going into the offseason). Hopefully Vitters can surprise us.

[Straight Edge]

Another good signing by the Cubs. Hairston kills lhp, and adding some decent power into the lineup doesnt hurt. Now I wish we could get Bourn. Dont know why Cubs promise Schierholtz playing time...

[homestarunner93]

Nice to see us sign Jerry's fatter younger brother.

[YoungStuna]

Good signing for you guys. I wonder how much it's for?

[SenorGato]

Hairston's fat?

Trading places bet on stewart shocking you this year. 1 American dollar.



The deal is 2 yrs 6mill max incentives included.

Not at all.
