Was just reading this article on Foxsports.com and toward the end found something interesting!

Coming off such an impressive year at the plate, Hunter will likely be offered much more than that by any number of teams in search of a center fielder, a list that could include the New York Yankees, Boston Red Sox, Chicago Cubs and Texas Rangers.

Why would you not want a guy that plays excellent defense hits around .275 - .300 a year and gives you about 25 - 30 homers?

 

 

 

plays excellent defense

 

Overrated

 

hits around .275 - .300 a year

Because I don't give sheet about Batting Average

 

25 - 30 homers

 

His ceiling, and that isn't worth the contract he is demanding.

IIRC, didn't Hunter specifically say he had no interest playing for the Cubs because he didn't want to play in Wrigley Field with the brick outfield wall?

A writer speculating that the Cubs COULD be interested just because we MIGHT be looking to add a centerfielder. Calm down guys.

Am I the only one who thinks that the addition of one of the best defensive outfielders in the game with a pretty damn good bat wouldnt be the end of the world?

 

the talk is about Torii Hunter, not whoever you're thinking of

I agree LLF, but I don't see Cleveland trading Sizemore this offseason.

Yes, but you know as well as anyone that Hunter is right up Hendry's alley. I don't think anyone here would put it past him to acquire Hunter.
