If Lowe and his massive contract, or Penny is enough to land Abreu, then how is Williams/R. Hill/another prospect not enough to get a deal done? :?

 

Lowe and Penny give the Phillies a #1 & #2 starter or at worst a #2 & #3 starter. Williams might be a #4 this year and Hill could eventually be a #3 starter. I would assume that Abreu and Bell's contracts would be pretty close to a wash with Lowe & Penny.

The Phils want a top of the line rotation guy (or two) back for Abreu. They're in win now mode, and I don't think are primarily concerned with prospects. I wouldn't be surprised if they're looking to dump Bell in the same move.. this doesn't feel like a fit for the Cubs.

 

Could we convince you to choose a smaller avatar (or resize your current one)? It throws the geometry of the page off by quite a bit because it's too big.

 

I wish we had a limit on avatar size and an option to not see specific avatars.

UPDATE:

 

- Nomar has been courted by Atlanta, Oakland, Minnesota, Baltimore, San Diego, Toronto, Cleveland and Pittsburgh.

 

Is he really that offensive to Hendry's plans that we can't find a spot for him to play SOMEWHERE?! His bat really came alive when he got back from his injury, and didn't seem to be the negative guy that the Red Sox media machine made him out to be.

Hendry has said numerous times that if Nomar was willing to play OF he would be signed already. It looks like he wants to be a SS or at least an infielder, and there's no room for him here.

 

which runs contrary to all other reports that nomar's agent has stated that nomar would play anywhere on the field

 

agent's are full of it. Kinzer said the same about Furcal.
