Bako agrees to terms with Cubs

I guess I'm with Rok in that I'd rather have had Hill as opposed to Bako - but in the grander scheme of things, a catcher that's going to catch 30 games a year. Neither of them are world beaters at the plate. I'd take Hill based on the fact he's a switch hitter. While Bako is a good defensive backup - I recall in 07 hearing how before games, he'd play catch with the starting pitcher in the OF and talked strategy which the pitchers loved.

In the end, I doubt it will make much of a difference. However if Geo misses any significant time in 09, we'll miss Blanco.
