I think Ricketts will lie low this first year. He's overloaded with long-term contracts, Lou and Jim are signed for the long-term, and this year's FA market sucks. If Hendry can somehow channel 2003, and make some good trades, we might see some interesting new faces, but as it looks now, we're likely to see the '09 Cubs give it another shot in '10.
There's nothing better than to realize that the good things about youth don't end with youth itself. It's a matter of realizing that life can be renewed every day you get out of bed without baggage. It's tough to get there, but it's better than the dark thoughts. -Lance
