In the same article it also talks about Aurilla.

Baker acknowledged talking to shortstop Rich Aurilia, the former Giant who was released by Seattle and is a free agent. Presumably the subject of Aurilia replacing injured Alex Gonzalez came up. "Right now, what do you do if you sign Richie and then get Alex back?" Baker asked. "Then you have too many [shortstops]. Let's not shove Alex into the grave yet."


Great Aurilla found Baker's phone number. My word of advice to Cubs management, take the cues from Rey Ordonez, Jose Macias, and Ricky Gutierrez. If NO other team wants them YOU don't need to go out and get them!

My bitter Cub's radar smells Aurilla, or Cabrera in our future and the Cubs talking how they will really help our offense. I am just going to call bull***t on that right now.
