I'm gonna start a rumor...

What ever happened to the "I wouldn't trade Hill for Dunn, straight up" Hendry of last offseason?

How many times has this been quoted and responded to in the past couple days?!?

 

Sorry, I can't answer that question because ive taken the last couple of days off. When I see a thread started by you, its the first one I read.

:D Thanks!

 

Too bad it was my least serious thread in a long time!

Heh, I have the highest respect for Tim, and I've seen a lot of dopey trade proposals. But this is one of the worst I've seen. Or, maybe one of the worst I've seen from somebody smart.

 

The Cubs are committed to assuming that Prior won't pitch. (For good reason). Miller is just a flier on a dispposable peanuts contract (you spend $21 on a flyer like Marquis; what does that make a $1.5 Miller investment?) The Cubs are dead set that Soriano will not play CF. (Piniella has flatly stated that he'd be in corner from the day he had press about Soriano signing till this week at meetings.)

 

So, the Cubs are going to trade Hill because he's blocked by a $1.5 flier vet and a Prior that the Cubs completely expect to be disabled, in order to push Soriano into a position they don't consider him suited to play.

 

Pure genius!

 

Sorry tim, I know you were just having fun. But wow, that one is way, way, way, way, way out there.

 

I know Tim was joking, and I have the highest respect for his threads, too. Have you taken a look at Hawpe's OBP? Much, higher than Jones'. SLG and, I'm sure OPS, too.

 

Maybe Marshall and Jones for Hawpe, but I would seriously take him in a trade. Not that Colorado would do that trade, but...

In the soriano thread we talked briefly about how Hawpe's body of work shows that he is slightly worse than Soriano.
