Cubs make it official with Edmonds

I remember mentioning to Easy that I always thought highly of Edmonds. It's a shame that he's had some physical problems as of late. I always thought he was a total gamer. With San Diego and, I think, St. Louis picking up the tab Edmonds cannot be turned down. For the record, I bet he does just fine with the Cubs this year.

Minus a hole in the pitching line-up that needs to be filled, is this not the best Cubs team we've seen since '84? Sure, it is early and injuries can always play havoc with a season. Hands down, I think this is the most well-rounded club we've had in quite some time. Skipping past the obvious Lee, Soriano and Zambrano, guys like Mark DeRosa and Reed Johnson take up the slack quite nicely. And, it is also nice to have the 2008 rookie of the year, Geovani Soto.

I like the Cubs chances with the entire NL this year.
