Levine: Cubs will try for Church through waivers p.18

[weis21]

ESPN 1000 in Chicago just reported that Hendry is trying to get a deal done for Church.

 

Please be true! :)

[USSoccer]

it would definetly be an upgrade over what we have.

REALLY??? Someone should start a new thread about that...

:willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly:

Turning on ESPN Radio now, so I'll confirm that report if true...

[ConstableRabbit]

Please be a good deal Jim! Please!

[RammyFanny]

Good enough for me if no big moves can be made. I understand we have restraints so adding a guy who's proven he can have around a .900 OPS and is still fairly young (well moreso "not old" than young) for minor leaguers is a good move in my books.

Nothing mentioned on the ESPN Radio Sports Center update, though I'm quite sure it was the national one.

Would also likely be the death knell of Murton in Chicago, correct?

I kind of thought Church would play CF and wouldn't really effect Murton. Of course, Murton could be part of the deal.

I don't know if I'd like giving up Murton for Church. They seem very similar, with Murton having a little more potential and maybe a little better bat and Church being a better defender and being able to play CF.

but id imagine that theyd keep pagan up on the big team rather than murton so he pry would go back down if church comes

Church is every bit the bat Murton is, probably better.

so any verifiable updates on ESPN 1000?

unless we ship jacque off to someone first.

Not that I've heard.

Looking at the numbers, they seem very similar. I guess Church's slugging is a little better and with him playing in Washington, it might be better than it seems.

And at a position more difficult to fill. I'd certainly give up Murton for Church if that were the option.

agreed. i'm a huge Murton fan, but i'd probably swap those two with out hesitation.

[Shilzzz]

dude hasn't played right field once this year... how is his defense?

[E.J.]

Good enough to play CF.

[RyCubsFan]

So's Jacques Jones' in theory....but he certainly isn't a very good defender.

 

...not sure about Church.

Jacque isn't that bad in center at all outside of that boot the other day...

He's not going to win any gold gloves but he's certainly adept to play there without it being considered a major defensive weakness.

That's true, but the Cubs don't really have anything to fill RF with either. I think an outfield of Soriano-Church-Murton would be our best bet. If it came down to it, I'd probably give up Murton since he won't get a shot in Chicago anyway, but it'd be best if they could get Church and keep Murton to platoon with Floyd.

Maybe Hendry can convince Bowden to take Pagan or Jones instead. :pint:
