I'd be surprised if Nomar returns to his superstar form. A lot of people don't realize how serious his wrist injury was in 2001, no one in the history of baseball had ever come back from that type of injury, and it sapped a lot of his bat speed, which is why hes a .300+ hitter now instead of a .350+ hitter. I think it does say something when a year ago you were looking for a 4 year $60 million contract, and now he seems willing to take the 1/8 deal the Cubs are offering.
And if Walker is the starting second baseman next year I just hope for Cubs fans' sakes that there aren't many ground ball hit on the left side of the infield.
