I'm not sure why you're so upset about this. He's a center fielder, he doesn't need to put up monster numbers.
If he signs here for 7+million per year and/or for more than 2 years, then I will be pissed. Right now, it's just talk though.
Did you have someone else in mind for the outfield?

Milton Bradley.

Just can't see Bradley back in a Cubs uniform.
Yeah, Bradley is the best player available but he was the best free agent available last year to be the middle of the order RBI guy. Unfortunately, we find that he is a top of the order guy who is the PR equivalent of a baby seal killing, pedophile.
My expectations are so low that I'm expect Sam Fuld and Rick Ankiel in CF next year.

If the Cubs could unload Bradley, I think I would be in favor of Sam Fuld in center rather than Byrd, Ankiel, etc. actually. You know Fuld will play very good defense and he'll work the count and maybe draw some walks.
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Plus he'll be short, scrappy and, most importantly, white.
