I'm gonna agree with Shaw that the loss of clement really is meaningless. He was very mediocre last year and didn't preform for shit under pressure. I am disapointed by Moises Alou leaving and I think that could come back to haunt the cubs. Nomar was a huge signing and I'm very pleased with that, I would love to get rid of Sosa and clear up some money to go get a big name either this off-season or as a trade next year.
You have to realize the cubs have Nomar, Derek Lee, Aramis Ramirez, and Corey Patterson (2cnd year back from injury) all coming back. Take Michael Barrett (who came on strong at the end of last year) and if Sosa could produce the cubs will be every bit as talented as they were last year.
