we can get McLouth for a crappy reliever.

 

what's the point in getting him unless we move Pie for starting pitching/SS help?

 

He'll probably hit lefties better than Pie but he certainly won't hit righties as well.

 

McLouth for a crappy reliever is a really good value move. If the organization is high on Colvin, dealing Pie and using McLouth as a bridge to him makes a lot of sense.

I'd rather the Cubs not count on Colvin for anything at this point in his professional career, but I get what you are saying.

Yeah, and even if Colvin flames out this year, McLouth is still only 26, and has the history to be able to be a capable offensive CF. Too bad he's below average defensively there, though.

Just bumping this thread.

 

A lot of rumors, not much actually happening.

From Rotoworld:

 

The Padres are expected to make attempts to sign Glendon Rusch and Shawn Estes after the Rule 5 draft.

 

Estes would be re-signing with the Padres as he finishes up his rehab from Tommy John surgery. Rusch missed last season after being diagnosed with a blood clot in his lungs.

 

 

Ah, the good old days.

Dusty is gonna have competition for those guys? Thats crazy. I figured they were Cincy bound for sure.

So...the meetings have concluded...about 200 pages of posts were generated...and nothing significant happened for the Cubs...does that about sum it up?
