Cubs Opt For Burnitz
Hoping against hope (and logic) that Jeromy Burnitz can strike out less than 200 times next season, the Cubs are close to an agreement with the free-swinging former Mets/Rockies/Brewers/Dodgers/Indians outfielder.
Though Burnitz’ 2004 production compared favorably to that of the departed Sammy Sosa, the latter didn’t have the advantage of playing 81 games at Coors Field.
