Jacque Jones Deal to Marlins is Off Because of Hendry

[don_kessinger_was_good]

One decent-sized classroom at Ole Miss will put to shame those butterfaces...

 

agreed

 

Seriously. I've given seminars before at Ole Miss and Alabama, and my god--the coeds at these schools are not for the feint of heart. It's like a Hooters cattle call, nothing like midwestern schools. I was at Alabama on a warm spring day in April, and well....they dress rather suggestive nowadays, don't they? Whew! I think I saw more belly rings in one day than I have my entire life.

i really don't care that the Cubs paid for his salary or if we got nothing in return. The guy was terrible this year and he is expendable. Addition by subtraction.

[E.J.]

Can we get a new thread with news links please? Reading through this thread sucks.

 

Yeah, I feel bad for the people who are going to come on later and find this thread. It's a disaster at this point.

[IWU_CUBS_FAN]

Looking at the Greensboro roster, they have a pitcher with a ridiculous 74/5 K/BB ratio.

 

something tells me we won't be getting him...

why not...jacque's at bats are at a ridiculous 74/5 K/BB ratio

[Dave23]

They said not West and not Taylor...I'm betting Leroux...

[BeerHere]

I don't care who come up from the Marlins, as long as Jacque is gone I'm fine with it. I'll be the PTBNL if that's what it takes.

 

If this is true, does that mean that Dempster isn't going on the DL?

[Moonlight Graham]

So Long Jock! =D>

[Schwarber Fan]

Well, I suppose we can take the "rumor" out of this thread

[Schwarber Fan]

by the by, who's getting called up?

[UBlink]

CAN WE PLEASE STOP POSTING THOSE PICTURES...

 

for real guys. its funny conversation, but i'd really like to follow the actual transaction thread while i'm at work

 

If you have premium you can turn off images (highly recommended at work). If you don't have premium, get it!

Cubs are also sending the Marlins 1 million in cash.

[rawaction]

They said not West and not Taylor...I'm betting Leroux...

 

is he any good? Second question, independent of the first.....has he been called up yet?

[Dirt Dog Sparly]

From the Marlins board earlier in the thread.

 

Joe Capozzi sheds a little more info in the PBP

 

MIAMI GARDENS — Are the Marlins close to finding a new center fielder?

 

Rumors in Chicago and Florida have the Cubs sending Jacque Jones to the Marlins along with a player to be named and $1 million cash in exchange for a pitcher from Class A Greensboro.

 

Sources at Dolphin Stadium today said the deal was done, but sources in Chicago said it was still in the works.

 

Jones, 31, is owed another $7.12 million over the next two seasons.

 

A left-handed hitter, Jones has played all three outfield positions during a nine-year big-league career that began with the Twins.

 

It is unclear who the minor-league player will be, but left-hander Graham Taylor is a possible candidate.

The answer would depend on Dempster, no?

That's it? Not bad.

[CubColtPacer]

Cubs are also sending the Marlins 1 million in cash.

 

1 million this year, or total? If it's total, this is a good deal.

[killthegoat06]

Billy Petrick. There's a separate thread on him.

[jjgman21]

if that's all, outstanding deal

[PrimeTime]

Cubs are also sending the Marlins 1 million in cash.

 

LOL were paying them to take Jaque strap.He must feel like crap.So long

[Yeti]

for those of us late to the party, can i get a recap so i dont have to slog through 20+ pages?

[TruffleShuffle]

Cubs are also sending the Marlins 1 million in cash.

 

I don't really believe that... it'd have to be more, especially to cover next year's $5M+

[TheDude]

Cubs are also sending the Marlins 1 million in cash.

 

That's it? Good.

doesn't the subtraction of Jones clear up a roster spot :?:

Yeah-the Marlins board says it's not him. Apparently he only throws about 87 anyway. They claim it's a pitcher on that roster other than him and one other guy (who's name escapes me right now).

 

Kyle Winters? That's the only pitcher at Greensboro who I know anything about prospect-wise.
