Cubs gave up on him because of the freakish  groing injury that took place in April 2005. To my dismay they gave him not a sniff of a contract - knowing that lifetime .320 hitters don't grow on trees!!!

Now, Nomar didn't want to play OF - he's never played there - but surely, they could have used him as a SUPER sub - getting time for him at 3rd, SS and 1B (now that Lee's injury has kept him out for 2 months) But that wasn't doable.

The Cubs top hitters in 2006:

STAT	PLAYER	TOTAL
AVG	M. Barrett	.308
HR	J. Jones	12
RBI	A. Ramírez	35
R	J. Pierre	32
SB	J. Pierre	24

And NOMAR didn't play the first 10 games due to a oblique strain!!!

Sorry Cubs, you missed the boat again. Had the player and let him go TOO QUICK!!!

How's that 26-39 (soon to be 40 losses) treating you, TRIBUNE CO.
