Rehab Project Anyone?



You figure with Aaron Boone, now released from the Yankees, the Cubs would be standing by with a checkbook and accepting him into our rehab program. If your an injured player, the Cubs love to have ya, and love to pay ya.

Enough of that non-sense. But why not take a flyer on him? I know we have Am-Ram and Boone is in his 30's now. But maybe he can be converted to a SS or 2nd. At the very least he is insurance if Am-Ram tanks it this year and we dont want to pay him more than his $6 million per year.

Personally i think he could make a very fine 2nd baseman. Both fielding and offensively. Shortstop? Well it could look like Mark Grudz stats as a SS. Not so sure about that.

Ofcourse its ultimately up to him about switching positions. Most players take it as a personal attack that they should try a new position. Just my idea of brainstorming of things i would consider as a GM.
