Also, we have the benefit of hindsight here (most of us were pretty excited about Fukudome, for example). There will also certainly be a lot of moves that don't qualify as "good" or "bad," so I won't list them.

<b>Good</b>
Ramirez/Lofton for Bobby Hill
Lee for Choi
Re-signing Ramirez for under market value
Ted Lilly signing
DeRosa signing
Nomar trade (I still qualify this one as "good" in spite of Nomar's injuries)
Hundley for Karros/Grudz


<b>Bad</b>
Soriano contract
Fukudome signing
Bradley signing
Aardsma for Cotts
Miles signing
Neifi signing
Pierre trade
Jacque Jones signing


Am I missing any obvious ones on either side?<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

A couple of the signings were not bad at the time. Many of us think the Cubs should be like the Yankees. Target you guy and do what you need to do to get him. If we overpay a little...fine. I think that falls under the Soriano/ Fukudome. I'm not saying they were great, but he did what he had to do to get the player we needed.
