Nomah has been re-signed, according to Cubs.com. And for only one year. Great deal. Now go get Walker and minimize the Neifi factor.

UPDATE: Walker signed as well for one year with a $2.5 million option, AP says. Great stuff. Unless he gets injured, there’s just about no way he won’t start the vast majority of games at second base next year. And with the Tony Womack bullet dodged and Patterson’s leadoff ability seriously in doubt, Walker may wind up at the top of the order where he belongs. We shall see.

This leaves outfielder/possible Sosa trade and closer as the big moves yet to be made.
