I don't think he ever was. They could use an upgrade up second base instead of giving Owens time to improve, but they may not have much money left after Greinke.

Dodgers offered Greinke 5/$155 million.

DBacks also trying for Leake as well, so they must have some money left.

That has to have a lot of deferred money. Price looks cheap now.

terrible contract or not...

Cubs are no longer favorites in the NL imo... diamondbacks have as good of an offense... better defense... and maybe better pitching atleast for a year or 2.

LOL AJ pollack and goldy are better then your top two offensive players?

incarite/goldy/Jake lamb all play GG caliber defense...

ZG/Corbin will compete against Arrieta and Lester.

Luckily for the Cubs there are 8 position players, 5 rotation starters and a bullpen.

I saw on Twitter before Lackey signed and without a CF yet added the Cubs projected to 85 wins.

yea.. its true. lots of players on offense and pitching.

Arizona staff of Anderson/Ray/Collmenter/bradley/corbin/zg/de la rosa/hudson/delgado isnt quite the world beating awesomeness of the cubs... but its also got great upside/experience/youth on its side.

Some things obviously need to break right for them in terms of injury but i am a HUGE fan of corbin and delgado...

on the offensive side. Goldy is imo probably the best player in baseball not named trout or harper.

AJ Pollack, while not a personal favorite is pretty damn good if he can repeat what he did last year.

Jake Lamb has some pretty huge K problems... but the power/home park combo is great... and he is really underrated on defense at 3b, i think he can win a GG there. Owings for what i saw was also pretty good with he glove.

Encarite/peralta/pollack is potentially a top 3 OF as well.

the org is laughed at a lot, but have a very interesting team all of a sudden... potentially top 4 in the league with the dodgers/cubs/pirates

I've always said he is roughly in the Hammel/Hendricks levels of pitching. With what pitching is going for, I'll take a two year contract that pays him like a 2 WAR pitcher I think he is.

There's such a thing as a good contract when it comes to free agent players like Greinke?

No bargains in free agency . . .
