What model does Ricketts expect to follow with Colletti?

This sounds like tampering, so it probably didn't really happen.
But just FWIW, Ozzie has apparently reached out to Zambrano:

If Ozzie did that, it's a pretty clear case of tampering and his
punishment should be taking Carlos Zambrano's contract.

and Soriano's.
And Silva's if we can get him back.

DeWitt showed enough promise to be worth $1.2MM. Garza
represents the Cubs' headline arbitration case, and we project
$8.7MM for him. Jeremy Guthrie and John Danks will be current
comparables for Garza. There is not much recent precedent for a
pitcher with this type of track record to make it to his third
arbitration year.

project $18.4MM in total salary. Assuming Ryan Dempster
exercises his player option and Aramis Ramirez doesn't get a new
contract prior to his option decision, the Cubs have around
$91MM in 2012 commitments before accounting for minimum salary
players. If payroll remains in the $134MM range, the Cubs would
have around $40MM to spend in 2012 salaries.

That's the equivalent of saying we keep Otto around for
intelligence...

Q. What do Starlin Castro, Matt Garza, and Geovanny Soto have in
common?
A. They each led all of MLB in errors at their position.
Koyie Hill would have been right up there with Geo had he played
more games.
