Cubs, Hollandsworth agree to one-year deal
CHICAGO (AP) -- The Chicago Cubs agreed to a $900,000 one-year deal with outfielder Todd Hollandsworth on Monday, avoiding arbitration.

"I fell in love with the city, the team and the organization," Hollandsworth said. "You have this dying passion to help this team get over the top and help them get back to the World Series."

The former NL Rookie of the Year did his part last year, his first in Chicago, until an injury ended his season on June 27. He hit .318 with eight homers and 22 RBIs in 57 games.

Another piece of the puzzle. More pieces should fall into place now that contracts have been offered to the others eligible for arbitration. With all these one year deals, we had better win it all next year!
