Eli's MLB Rumors:
The Cincinnati Reds have agreed to minor league deals with OF Jacque Jones and 1B/OF Daryle Ward. It just so happens that both are former Cubs; however, only Jones played under Reds manager Dusty Baker. Ward has a good chance to make the club as a pinch hitter, while Jones might need to prove himself in Triple-A before getting the call up.

Wrigleyville raises an excellent question in a recent post:
What’s the beef with spending?
Seriously, why is it that teams that spend are universally castigated for doing so? Is there a “right way” to build a ballclub? Of course, we’re tempted to answer “yes,” but only because we fail to recognize the careful equivocation on “right.”
A simple, small word, ...
