Oh I know, just DLee hasn't needed much time off aside from when he had the wrist injury. 1B backup isn't a big priority in my mind, but it's good to know Nomar can play all 4 IF spots.

I think DLee could use a few more days off here and there.

Comparing Nomar to Jeter sounds good, but that projection does not even come close to matching DeRosa's 08 production. The Cubs are not going to be able to replace DeRosa, so they might as well get Aurillia. Aurillia is a better fit, because he is less of an injury risk and probably more willing to accept playing about 1/3 of the time max.
I like you guys a lot.

Before we got DeRosa I wanted to sign Nomar to play 2B, so I'm in favor of getting him now.

This Derosa hard-on needs to get flaccid soon.

Yeah, I keep forgetting that he isn't getting any younger and has lead feet these days. So yeah, this would make Nomar even more valuable, if he's worried about PT.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. If we're gonna waste a couple million on someone like Aurillia, why not get the far superior Nomar?

I wouldn't say "far superior". There's really not much of a difference between the two actually. I'll be thrilled with either of them.

Well, Nomar is younger, and a better fielder, and a better hitter. Does Aurilia have more grit or something?
But you're probably right, I should have said superior instead of far superior.

It would be nice. However like Sleepy I had read that just last week that the Cubs were interested in him but he told them he is looking to go to a place that will offer more playing time. Who knows if that was earlier in the off-season or what but that is what I read.

Compare their last couple of seasons. You might be surprised.

Couple million for Aurilia? In case you haven't been watching the free agent activities this offseason...

Sounds like the Phils are interested, and that Nomar might retire
Phillies Still Eyeing Nomar Garciaparra
By Drew Silva [February 5 at 6:38pm CST]
Scott Lauber of the Wilmington News Journal spoke with Phillies GM Ruben Amaro Jr. Thursday afternoon. Amaro reaffirmed the club's interest in Nomar Garciaparra, but said he doesn't expect an answer from the free agent infielder until spring training begins.
Garciaparra is supposedly considering retirement due to health issues. "Nomar has been great through the whole process, but he doesn't want to put our team in a position to bring on a player who may not be prepared to perform at his accustomed level," Amaro said. "But if we can bring Nomar in and give him an opportunity to be in camp, if he feels like he's healthy enough to do that, it gives us more depth."
Amaro said he's "not sure" if Nomar would be willing to accept a minor league contract if he does decide to play this year.
