I want Padilla.</div>Id take Gil Meche over Vicente Padilla anyday of the week personally. Mainly cause Gil Meche is one of the guys who I think would greatly benefit from a move to the National League, I dont have any stats to back it up, but I believe he would fare much better in an NL style game, where-as short of a 2 year span in Phillys old Veterans Stadium (which no longer is their home), Vicente Padilla has been average at best everywhere he's ever pitched.Either way though, giving either of these guys 8-10 mill a year is insanity.

Re: The Cubs aren't finished.

The reason I want Padilla is b/c he's the one who caused the spat b/t Ozzie and Mariotti, and he's a tough guy. He acted alone when he caused all that shit this year
