Of course we could have had Carlos Beltran for $20 million less than we paid for Alf. Yes, he's younger than Alf, a better hitter, a better fielder, a better baserunner, and plays a much more important position, but hey...mismanagement is a hallmark of the Chicago Cub experience.
Look at the list of CFers again.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
If McFail wasn't around the year Beltran was a FA, I bet he'd be a Cub.
