Nomah!

Nomar Garciaparra gets to keep his 'r' for at least one more season in Chicago, by agreeing to a one year deal worth eight million, plus incentives. Reports are saying that the Cubs may re-sign 2B Todd Walker today as well. I for one welcome these two signings. The Cubs are obviously saying they prefer offense to defense, but Walker is a .981 career defender, and Garciaparra is a career .969 defender. I'll take those numbers. Walker excelled last year when starting for Mark Grudzielanek, and Nomar hit .297 for the Cubs in 43 games since the July 31st trade.
