Any interest in Matt Lawton?

[Omar]

Yeah. He took the juice when he was with us

 

.244/.289/.308

 

Why must you turn NSBB into a house of LIES?

[David]

Yeah. He took the juice when he was with us

He was on the juice with NY and his numbers with them weren't much better.

I don't understand the logic here: We give K-Pee a September call-up in 2000, 60 games in 2001, and then 4 full season to show he bad he sucks, yet we only give a September call-up in 2004, and half a season, and b/c of a slow start, not to mention being blocked by Hollandsworth, and Dusty's love for unproductive veterens, he's traded away.

 

K-Pee? that's really stupid. patterson's only really bad year was '05. his '04 was better than jones' '05. we all know how he started out in '03.

We already have Jason Dubois in AAA. He changed his name to Mike Restovich.

but restovich isnt on the 40 man roster

 

Neither is Dubois.

I'd rather see Hairston in a platoon with Jones than Dubois.

Yeah I wonder how long it will take for that to happen.

I found it quite witty.

The biggest problem with Jones is that he can't hit left handers. We'd be better off with Neifi in RF with a lefty on the mound. If that isn't bad enough, nearly half the starters in the NL Central are lefties.

 

St. Louis: Mark Mulder

Milwaukee: Chris Capuano, Doug Davis

Cincinnati: Dave Wilson, Eric Milton, Brandon Claussen

Houston: Andy Pettitte, Wandy Rodriguez

Pittsburgh: Zach Duke, Paul Maholm, Oliver Perez

 

So, of the 25 starters in the NL Central (not Cubs), 11 of them are lefties.

 

This is not the only reason people were against a Jacque Jones signing, but the fact the Cubs will likely NOT platoon him because of the amount of money he makes is another legitimate reason.

 

And some of the pitching prospects with a good shot at the rotation in the NL Central are lefties as well:

 

Houston: Troy Patton

Pittsburgh: Tom Gorzelanny, Sean Burnett

Milwaukee: Dana Eveland

 

The Pirates could even with time field an all-lefty rotation. Victor Santos isn't going to last, and Ian Snell I think is headed to the bullpen long-term. There's Kip Wells who could ruin things, but who knows with him.

In case you didn't notice, I was being sarcastic.
