Isn't Burnitz available this offseason? That sounds like the kind of mistake Hendry would make (again).

From MLB.com

 

Aaron Rowand of the Phillies could be a target for the Cubs, who are seeking a center fielder.

 

No Thank you..Why would Hendry be looking for another right hander?? Dosent make sense..Only if he could put up the number he did in '04 with the Sox id be interested..

I think he's contemplating retirement right now, IIRC.

It's tough to determine whether Hendry has looked into Rowand or somebody is speculating that since Rowand has been rumored to be available, and the Cubs want a CF, that there might be a match. If Hendry trades for Rowand, he's an idiot.

I bet if you were at their hotel you would be having a blast :-). If nothing else you could just sit at the bar and harass every GM that walked by :wink:

Except the GMs stay in their suites for the majority of the time (they have beer delivered to them).

Waiting for his donuts to be delivered? :D

I think I said this before, but assuming the veracity of Jacque's complaints (and I have no reason to doubt them), I feel bad for the guy and wish some of our idiot fellows out there would learn to behave like decent human beings.

LOL, that is where the donut joke is to be entered!

[Vinestal]

The first couple of days are always pretty boring, hopefully things heat up a bit tommorow.

I can only hope he is steering a wheelbarrow full of cash in Jason Schmidt's general direction.

[PrimeTime]

So with the Padres getting Maddux, thats one less suitor for Schmit..Comeon Jim go get him already

[Drew Doughty]

Hawkins signs with Rox (I think this is sort of old news, but apparently it's finalized now)

the Cubs hat makes me cringe.

We just need a troll posting as a journalism student on assignment giving us fake updates. That should provide some excitement.

I don't doubt him either.

 

And I can imagine he had no idea it was going to happen, since everyone probably told him how "great" Cub fans are.

 

Nice going bleacher bums.

per rotoworld

 

Brewers are interested in Lieber. Mench + Capellan is apparently what they're considering.

 

Steve Phillips reports think that Lugo to the Red Sox is all but finalized. Something in the range of 4/36

I Wish Hendry would make a play for Lieber. Take on all of his contract to get him cheaper and I bet we could get 15 wins out of him this year

His health is a major concern.

Lake Buena Vista, Fla. — The Chicago Cubs moved to the forefront of the Ted Lilly sweepstakes Tuesday, according to the agent for the former Toronto Blue Jays left-hander.

 

The Blue Jays had tabled what Larry O'Brien had termed a "competitive" offer late Monday night, but his meetings with the Cubs on Tuesday afternoon changed the equation.

 

"Our talks with the Cubs are becoming more advanced," he told a throng of reporters. "They've indictated that they're willing to pay what needs to be paid."
