I'm not so sure this is "bad Zambrano" we're seeing. I noticed in his last start against the Stros his velocity was way down. I haven't watched much of this game, but he's getting hit hard yet again. I think we might be seeing injured zambrano, but that's just me.

 

cool, i was waiting for the first "is zambrano injured" post in this thread. It's much like the "Rich Hill is a head case" post in any bad start that he has... you know it's gonna happen, it's just a matter of when.

 

Ya alot of times there is no reason to read the gamethread its pretty predictable what is being said

This is the end

 

It was the end when Hendry did nothing at the deadline.

 

Don't think he had the resources to

 

Dang out Pie and see what you get.

 

I know I'm going to get killed for this, but this is his last year probably here. Go for the throat while you have a decent time. Do what the Braves did.

 

 

I think he meant the $$$ to pay the incoming players.

I don't buy that for a minute.

 

Why?

They would have added payroll. He had to get expiring contracts. Go get Dunn. He opts out after the year and the club isn't stuck paying for him.

 

 

Makes too much sense.

 

Who says Dunn was available to the Cubs at a reasonable price? Do you just wnat to throw whatever they ask at the Reds just to get the deal done? Do you think the Cubs are one Adam Dunn away from winning the World Series? If so, would the investment be a huge waste of our future if Dunn somehow doesn't lead the team to a world series win and walks after the season?

 

Would you rather go down swinging or not?

 

1. If the Reds weren't making insane demands for Dunn (and everyone on their roster), someone would have gotten it done or you would at least have heard far more speculation.

 

2. When Hill and Pie are both cheap and successful with the Reds (possibly All-Stars) and we're stuck trying to get mediocre, more expensive veterans to replace them, you and most others would have complained to no end.

Who says Hill and Pie are going to be All-Stars? I certainly in hell don't think either of them will be.

 

When was the last time you've seen the Cubs have a position player that they didn't trade for go to the All-Star Game? Ryne Sandberg? Mark Grace?

We are tied up in bad contracts for the next 2-3 years and we hypothetically have a lock on the checkbook for at least the next season with the impending sale. The only hope we have to improve after this season are our minor leaguers and trading those minor leaguers. Yes we could trade for Dunn (IF HES AVAILABLE TO THE CUBS), but who is going to be the scapegoat when Dunn leaves after the season and you have to start Angel Pagan in the OF next year because you traded Felix Pie, Jake Fox, Sean Marshall, Carlos Marmol, and whatever other crazy stuff the Reds will ask for to trade Dunn to a Central team. Then what will you be saying? Oh well at least the Cubs traded for Dunn and we won 87 games and got swept by the Mets in the NLDS. I doubt it

And we'll just keep enjoying not going to the playoffs.

Keep up. Zambrano was injured early in the year, then suddenly healthy for awhile, now injured again. Hill wasn't a headcase to start the season, but became one again. Duh.
