Before we begin…Hi. My name is Mauricio, I’m a low level writing prospect that WSD decided to take a flyer on. I guess good things happen when you are generally nice to people in forums and don’t act a fool on Facebook. You can follow me on twitter @MRubio52, I usually post Foodgram pictures, cry about Derrick Rose, and compare the Cubs and their players to various art movements (They’re in the Minimalist stage if you’re wondering).
The Cubs have signed Korean righty Chang-Yong Lim to a split contract that could be worth up to 5MM. Split contracts are usually reserved for players that have prior Major League experience but are signed to minor league deals. Lim is a player who has experienced a lot of success overseas in the bullpen. He has consistently posted dominant numbers as a reliever for the Yakult Swallows in Japan and he had other suitors for his services stateside.
I found a Youtube video of Lim’s 2011 highlights:
Lim is slight of build, he’s listed at 5’11. Lim showcas...

Christmas is ten days away, the stove is boiling and I am toiling. The signing of Josh Hamilton appears to have amped up the heat this winter and those waiting to sign are going to get it moving soon.
So, let’s just get down to the BRASS TACKS and go on a little rambling adventure … or just make a flurry of disjointed, yet hopefully timely remarks.

Judging Alfonso Soriano by his contract
Via The Flagrant Fan

December 14, 2012
When a baseball player signs a historically bad contract, he ceases to be judged by his play on the field. Instead he is judged against his contract. There seems to be something unfair about that. Alfonso Soriano, like Zito on the Giants, will always be looked at with skepticism. He is ridiculed and derided for the fact that he cannot earn his pay. Is that really fair? The Cubs...
