All the while Dusty was here I thought it was him who loved having 8000 MI, but apparently it's been JH all along, Walker Harriston Bynum DeRosa Theriot Fontenot Cedeno Womack Grudz and the other 50 I can't think of off the top of my head right now

 

 

How could you forget the great Enrique Wilson? Rey Ordonez?

Ive been trying to forget him damnit!

 

According to Rotoworld, Castillo and Eckstein are both looking for a 4 year deal. Eckstein supposedly wants "Lugo type" money. Yes thats right David Eckstein wants a 4 year 36 million dollar deal. HA

 

Edit: Apparently we cant say dam nit anymore? Lol

Maybe they are considering DeRo for RF? Or back to super-sub role and still getting 4-5 starts a week at various positions.

 

which is a terrible idea. his bat doesn't play in right. he's the best MIF on the cubs, and none of the options they're considering are better than him.

 

 

 

Its not what I want, it was just a suggestion as to what Mgmt may be thinking.

Oddly enough BB Reference compares Castillo to Tony Womack and Matsui to Yuniesky Betancourt

[Careless]

Leave it to Jim Hendry to have holes to fill at SS and RF and spend all of his resources on finding a 6th 2b. :roll:

If this is true, it's a big boost to your name theory.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

I'd like to have the word censor replace "Ken Rosenthal" with "Whimsy McFabrication".

[TruffleShuffle]

this is idiotic

[Keener98]

this is idiotic

 

By "this" you actually mean Hendry, correct?

35 posts and no mention of ... well, you know.

[Post Count Padder]

I would love to know Hendry's rationale behind some of his moves.

 

Seriously.

Someone mentioned being horrified at foul balls down the LF line. We've got you covered.

According to Rotoworld, Castillo was signed for 4 years by the Mets.

[SouthSideRyan]

Castillo would look really good hitting second...

 

In the sense that he fills out a uniform well, and gets a perfect fit. Not to mention his beautiful smile. In other ways, not so much.

Looks like Minaya may have saved Punch Drunk from himself, at least temporarily.

 

C'mon, O'Dowd or Wade!

[Schwarber Fan]

*phew*

[sethuel1]

no more second basemen! Jesus

[tinkerstoeverstochance]

4/25 why?

[Have a seat, Neifi]

4/25 why?

His OBP is good, but it ain't that good.

[CuseCubFan69]

I'm confused...I thought Hendry has already signed Matsui, Castillo and a slew of other second basemen?

 

Yes, I'm laying it on quite thick.

man, crappy free agents are expensive. arod looks like a steal at $30 mil/year.

Baseball made a lot of money in 2007....get ready for some outrageous money to be thrown around on some pretty average players.

Eckstein is literally the only SS on the market worth anything. He'll get it.

Hendry will probably give it to him. How about an Eckstein/Theriot middle-infield?
