Walker Says Cubs Have Not Approached Him About a Trade

[Sarcastic]

Actually they may have something in common...the 5 slot. If the Cubs put Murton or Cedeno/Perez in the 2 slot Walker may be more qualified to hit 5th than Jones and by far more qualified than Hairston or Perez to hit there.

 

What? We aren't talking about the batting order here. We are talking about who should be the starting 2B for the Cubs. The situation you bring up is not exactly related to the topic. If you want to say on the basis that Walker would be a better 5th batter than Hairston that Walker should start, that might be relevant, but I still don't see what it has to do with Jones.

 

There are plenty of thread discussing the lineups, or at least there were.

I understand what you're trying to say but I have a question for you. What if Murton is hitting second, who would you rather hit 5th Walker or Jones? Hairston or Jones? Perez or Jones? That is when it does matter who is playing second.

 

I also believe that Walker gives the Cubs the best chance to win if he is the starting secondbaseman.

I'll just repeat what I said earlier. What does Jones have to do with Walker being traded or not?

 

Good Question, maybe Todd Walker could have been the starting RF? :lol:

Of course the second baseman matters, that's the point. But to be honest, I really don't think the way the lineup is set can have much affect on this discussion, since at this point we don't know who will bat where. The question you ask is a hypothetical one. What if Matt Maurton gets injured? Should that possibility affect the decision to trade Walker?

 

We can't get too far into these hypotheticals, they just aren't that relevant.

In tommorrow Trib Phil Rogers mentions that Tony Graffinio being shopped has hurt the trade vaule of Todd Walker and Jerry Hairston Jr and the best deal they could get might be if they picked up the salary and shipped either to Flordia. Jerry Hairston Jr might be an option for them at second and center field.

[stitchface]

walker would cost the cubs 3 runs versus hairston or perez at 2b per BP. Neifi's numbers don't represent a meaningful sample size though.

Just what we need---another deal where we give up a reasonably productive player and pay him to play for another team. I got a better idea, why don't we keep them and pay them to play for the Cubs.

Because it makes sense, that's why.

So...Hairston, Hill, Guzman, Pie + @2 Million for Miggy Cabrera.

 

Sounds good to me.

Walker, Hill, Pawelek, Dopirak, Pie, Marshall (or Gooz) + 2.5M for Cabrera maybe.

Knowing the Cubs, it will be Hairston or Walker plus $2 million for some A ball prospect.
