there are still 3 and a half hours left everyone...relax. Some move is going to be done.

 

Johan Santana and Joe Mauer to the Cubs? :D

 

I'd trade them Rich Hill, Geo Soto, Felix Pie and pay their payroll for the next 15 years.

Honestly, for Santana and Mauer I'd give up Felix Pie, Derrek Lee, Sean Marshall, Genovay Soto, Matt Murton and maybe 1-2 other mid level prospects.

I love me some Jonah Keri

 

Matt (Chicago, IL): Are the Cubs going to get a right handed hitting RF?? Maybe Dye? This is the biggest hole that I see for them.

 

SportsNation Jonah Keri: (10:37 AM ET ) They've been talking about Payton, who's more of a stopgap than a difference maker. The White Sox are apparently asking a lot for Dye. Cubs have some intriguing young talent, question is whether they'll part with it, given how many holes they'll have to fill around their stars next season and going forward.

 

Personally I'd slot Matt Murton in there and let him hit, rather than letting Piniella jerk him around like he has. Murton's got a solid track record and could really help that team if they give him a shot. Yes, it seems riskier than making a deal. But why not try it, if the alternative is two months of mediocrity from a Payton type.

 

 

I like.

 

It's sad that we do have in house solutions for 3 of our 4 holes, but Soto, Murton and Pie won't get any regular time for some reason.

 

Once again, CF isn't really a hole.

 

Except for the whole lack of production thing, you're right.

 

Jones has an .825 career OPS against RHP. As a comparison:

 

By way of comparison,

 

Lifetime OPS v. RHP

 

Jacque Jones - .825

Carlos Beltran - .840

Mike Cameron .757

Johnny Damon .797

Andruw Jones .831

Vernon Wells .779

Torii Hunter .778

Nick Swisher .778

So why was the trade deadline moved back to 3pm from Midnight EST like it used to be? More media coverage?

 

I always liked waking up on the morning of my birthday (tomorrow) and turning on SportsCenter to be informed of all the big trades that went down at the 11th hour.

Are we only facing RHP from here on out? And are we going in the way back machine to when Jones was mildly productive?

 

CF is a hole. Pretending otherwise doesn't change that fact.

I think it has more to do wth teams being able to have their trades completed before the games begin that day. So players aren't sitting in limbo during the game, not being able to be used, etc.

Or just because midnight was a pain to deal with? It sucked for media coverage, and let's face it, isn't that what the game is about?

trade proposals have to be in by 3pm, but they all take time to process by the commissioner's office. those employees probably didn't like having to stay at work all night doing that
