Carlos Contest Time!

The biggest issue/challenge facing the Cubs over the next few months is what to do with Carlos Zambrano. How much should he be paid? Should he wait and test the free-agency waters? Will this be the year he snaps and kills someone?


With that in mind, Wrigleyville23 is hosting its second contest (a Goat Rider won the first), and it has multiple questions. Each must be answered for the contestant to be eligible to win. Please add your entry to the comments section (don't worry about others copying your answer).

The questions are as follows:

1. Name the date that Zambrano will sign (you can pick any date in the next 385 days, or roughly through next Spring Training opening).

2. Name the team.

3. How much?

4. For how long?

The entry that gets the most answers correct/close to correct wins the contest. Questions 1 and 3 will weigh more heavily. For entries that are very similarly accurate in date and amount, Wrigleyville23 management will determine the winner, arbitrarily.

The winner, as always, gets a free subscription to Wrigleyville23.

Santos -

That's only the arbitration/settlement number, right? Perhaps I should have been clear, this refers to the longer-term deal.
