Lugo at #7 spot?? He would be 1-2 I would think. Didn't he steal 39 bases last year??

Number 2 won't happen in that format. The Marlins want low-earning prospects without contracts like Patterson's and Walker's.

Trade P Sergio Mitre' date=' CF Corey Patterson, 2B Todd Walker and Cash to Florida for OF Juan Pierre.

And it would be a terrible trade for the Cubs.

they'd arguably be giving up more than boston did to get beckett.

3. Lee - 1B

4. Huff - RF

5. Aram - 3B

6. Barrett - C

7. Lugo - SS

8. Cedeno - 2B

 

Why does everyone in their fantasy lineup keep bumping Aramis down to 5? When healthy, he's the best pure hitter we have in the lineup. Lee's a great player, but I think Aramis is more likely to put up those numbers consistently.

I feel like the Cubs are getting reamed in every one of those deals, particularly #2. Secondly, why would we give cash to Tampa in trade 1 if we're the only ones taking on any contracts at more than league minimum?

True enough. But Aramis has significantly less patience than DLee, so his OBP isn't as high. That's why I see him batting behind DLee as opposed to in front of him. Secondly, if you get a very good lefty guy to bat 4th, I can almost guarantee that Dusty will bat him between Lee and Aramis to maintain the RLR thing. I think this is a good thing if the lefty bat is a potent one. It is a bad thing if it's Jeromy Burnitz or anyone like him.
