Free agent pitcher Ted Lilly, who earlier in the day ruled out returning to Toronto, agreed Wednesday night to a $40 million, four-year contract with the Chicago Cubs.

I bet Lilly will put up decent numbers in the NL for a year or two.

I can't wait to start laughing when some of these high slareid free agents lay eggs. Will Lilly do well for the Cubs? Or will he follow in the foosteps of ( drum roll) RUSS ORTIZ?

Lilly and Doug Davis are about four months apart in age. Both are lefthanded starters. You now know what AZ is up against to sign him to an extension (and why the Brewers felt like they had to let him go now).

Well... 10M per year is pretty much chump change these days. Rolling Eyes

It's not just the $10 M per, it's the four year anchor.
