should the cubs make a trade with the sox?

[mg420]

with the pen being the cubs strong point & the sox weak point, perhaps the cubs should trade williamson to the sox for a few good OF prospects. with the resurgance of ardsma & wuretz doing well in AAA, it might not be a bad idea. perhaps they might even want novoa too.

Willamson and Howry for McCarthy.

mcarthy isnt doing too hot in the pen. i would rather see the cubs try to trade for some offensive help myself.

Uh oh. You know they'll go after Pods.

The Cubs, IMO, will contend before Howry's cotnract is up. So I much rather hold onto Howry---who have been impressive.... (.88/.209/2.16) so it would definately take MORE then just Brandon McCarthy to land Howry. Add in the "rivalry factor" and I would ask for Jerry Owens along with McCarthy for Howry. But since Howry isn't GOING ANYWHERE, this is a moot topic.

I love both of those guys. McCarthy is a very good young starting pitcher.

That's your opinion, not fact. Therefore it is NOT a moot topic; your opinion could turn out to be wrong.

Pods .271 .272 .395 line would improve our leadoff spot quite a bit.

Even if he settles to last years level of .290 .351 .349 it would be an improvement.

Good Lord! And I thought Pierre's IsoD was pitiful.

 

Who do the White Sox have left in their farm system worth pursuing? Liotta? Broadway?

[soccer10k]

If it ends up like the Sammy Sosa trade way back in the day then I don't care who we give up.

I'd want Josh Fields or Lance Broadway.

 

Williamson wouldn't net either.

I would demand a king's ransom in return for any trade where we send players to the South Side.
