Figgins for Ramirez???

[OleMissCub]

This is reminiscent of the infamous 1993 Rafael Belliard for Barry Bonds trade proposal.....

Those three are worth quite a bit more than Ramirez IMO.

 

I strongly disagree.

 

I also strongly disagree Kendry Morales is on the verge of even stardom, much less superstardom.

some people in the organization want to see GM Jim Hendry pursue a trade for the Angels' Chone Figgins, a switch-hitter. But the Cubs probably don't have what it takes to land Figgins. The Angels value Figgins so highly, one person with ties to the Los Angeles organization said the team might ask the Cubs for third baseman Aramis Ramirez in return.

 

:pig:

 

We can't get this guy I have just master how to say Aramis's name. I couldn't even gues how to pronounce "Chone" is there an accent mark at the end?

It's pronounced as "Shawn".

I have just master how to say Aramis's name.

 

How is his name even remotely hard to say or pronounce? It's basically phonetic.

It's phonetic, but the vowels are sounded out differently than the cologne of the same name.

 

Ramirez is Uh-Rah-Miss

The cologne is Air-uh-miss

I'm guessing that the people in this organization that want Chone are the same ones who keep pushing the versatility story. Their dream team would be a Jack of all trades and a master of none.

[GoCubsGo1679625768]

Chone can play every position and bat left handed. It doesn't get better than that folks.

plus he K's over 100 times a year, so he's perfect for us

Ramirez is Uh-Rah-Miss

 

So... his name is actually pronounced Aramis Aramis? That's bizarre.

Think Aramis wears the Aramis cologne?

[Sammy Sofa]

His natural scent is obviously better than any cologne.

 

HE IS ARAMIS.
