Why not Hill / Guzman / Ryu / Pie?

[gflore34]

Why can't Hill, Guzman, Ryu or, dare I say it, Pie help the Cubs stay afloat until Wood, Prior and Lee return?

 

We all know what's going to happen-Gutless Hendry will let Dusty flounder around with Williams, Rusch and Jones burying the Cubs in the process then, when the rosters expand we'll get a look at Hill, Guzman and Ryu. They'll probably go a combined 6-0 or something similar leaving us all wondering what if Hendry developed some nerve and made these move in late April.

Money talks. He paid Jones and Rusch big bucks to play, he's not going to give up on them with 140+ games left in the season

[gflore34]

Is money so important that he's willing to sacrifice yet another season without taking a chance on something different?

For what it's worth, a lot of baseball analysts figure Pie will be with the club by midseason. What does that mean for Jones? I dunno. It better not mean reduced playing time for Murton.

Giving JOnes 3 years was stupid. I'd have given him 1 year w/ a team option. And Pie, Hill, Guzman won't be up b/c Dusty likes to play unproductive veterens over young talent

Jacque must have bought a cool gold watch with the money. He was wearing some bling last night.

I think he gor his deal based on Sox killer reputation. I'd have been happier seeing him w/ the Twins

That would be the dumbest reason ever to sign him. OMG HE KILLS THE WHITE SOX FOR 6 GAMES A YEAR!!!!

Excatly. He should've stayed in Minnesota where he can kill them 18 times a year

I don't think Minnesota had any interest in keeping him. I think I know why too.

He sucks, that's why. Twins fans are glad he's gone

Ho hum, nothing ever really changes does it? New season same old tired product on the field. Yes the Cubs have some talented players, that are either hurt all the time, or aren't played by Dusty but by and large Trib. just doesn't do all they can do to put a competitive team on the field.

No it's b/c Johnnie B. Baker Jr is our manager. Who cares if he was the toast of town in 2003? That's likely the reason Hendry will use to extend him

Dude

 

Big Z, for the first time ever I actually looked at what the picture in your sig says. Then I laughed histerically for about 5 minutes. Good job.

Guzman has allegedly been called up.

Where did you hear this?

Like that offer would have gotten him signed.

It's in the game thread. A couple of NSBB members have confirmed it with Dusty Baker and Jerome Williams has been sent down.

So after watching Hendry on WGN, does this thread need a new title? Maybe... oh I dont know... the eating crow thread?

Guzman up, may start on Wednesday. If not him, Len mentioned Hill as a possibilty.

 

I am rooting for Guz starting since I will be at the game with great seats.

[Balsa]

Aww crap. As excited I am to see either of those two pitch, that's one more option we're wasting...
