Re: Peavy High on Cubs Wish List

[Rob]

Can we have one thread where people aren't obsessed with Meph one way or another?

 

How will I know unless Meph tells me?

[CoolHandLuke]

Eh, I don't think it's bad that we haven't heard anything.

 

If the latest news [that the basic framework is agreed upon, and the ball is in Jim's court] is assumed to be correct, then I don't see why Jim wouldn't take his time with it.

[17 Seconds]

it's kind of funny that most people use the ignore feature to ignore a-holes.......meph uses it to ignore people who he doesn't feel are intelligent enough to converse with him...which apparently is pretty much everybody.

Is it a good thing or bad thing that we haven't heard anything about this in the past half hour?

No one has refuted it within minutes like the other rumors. I think its good news.

i think people are making this out as more than it is. never did he say a deal was close. just because he found a package that satisfies him doesn't mean hendry can do it yet, or even that he accepts the supposed deal. i fully expect this to drag on for a while still

Well it said he has a deal that satisfies him and also satisfies the 3rd and/or 4th team involved. So we know there is a deal in front of Hendry that only needs his ok to happen. In theory it could be unreasonable, but with as long as they have been at it, I think Towers has a pretty good idea who Hendry is willing to trade for Peavy.

So you're saying that now would be a perfectly acceptable time for me to take the database down for maintenance for a while? :D

Yeah I doubt Towers threw something out there that he knows Hendry wouldn't accept/be able to negotiate off of. Part of the wait on Hendry's part (not like it's been that long) could be he is obviously reviewing the offer and making sure he can still make other moves and he still could be running it by the higher ups in the FO/Tribune Company/Zell/Potential new owners and it might take a while to get the ok from everyone.

Rotowire:

The San Diego Union-Tribune reports that the Padres have looked into getting Mark DeRosa from the Cubs to give to the Phillies in a Jake Peavy deal.

That's an interesting idea. DeRosa would start at second base if Chase Utley misses the start of the year and play left field otherwise. The Cubs can afford to give him up since they have Mike Fontenot to play second base. Still, as good as he was last year, they would almost certainly prefer to hold on to him.

Take it to the Peavy thread.

[Ski]

I really want to keep Derosa.

[tfarks]

DeRosa is probably wondering if there will be a year that he's not involved in trade talks.

Also, now that I've looked through the board, what's up with the receding hairline joke? Are you stalking me or something?

 

That's kinda creepy, dude.

As long as it makes him produce like it did last year, fine with me.
