6/2 Cubs (Wells) @ Braves (Kawakami) 6CDT WGN

[jersey cubs fan]

Another package for Hendry that's gift wrapped with a nice big bow on it. Kevin Gregg, the gift that just keeps on giving.......

 

up runs.

 

Oh how proud you must be, Jim.

 

 

Sadly Kerry Wood's year has not been anything to write home about, so I don't see how you can guarantee different results.

 

Getting rid of Kerry Wood for financial reasons did not mean he had to trade for another multi million dollar reliever with a significantly worse track record. I hated losing Wood, but I understood the financial motivation, what I don't understand is then turning around and wasting a ton of cash on Gregg, just like trying to trade DeRosa at a high and then wasting the financial benefit on a guy like Miles.

Because Jim Hendry sucks. We could have had Dunn and Hudson.

I have no idea if the Cubs were interested in Hudson, but that is one thing that really irks me. We could have Hudson for the price we're paying Aaron [expletive] Miles.

Hudson was all because of Mike Fontenot. It's not like the Cubs could have signed Hudson to play the role that Miles is playing. Fontenot would have likely needed to have been traded and then the Cubs would have lost their 1st round pick. Plus, even if Hudson has a good season, now you either need to sign him for a ton of money or have no second baseman. So I can see why they would have rather gambled on Fontenot than sign Hudson.

[E.J.]

Why did Fontenot have to be traded? You sign Hudson and then Fontenot replaces Miles off the bench. It's not like Fontenot is a proven starter.

That's fine. But last winter, there were serious doubts if Fontenot could play 3rd (although he had played a little 3rd in the minors), and it was pretty much assured that he couldn't play SS. So the Cubs would still have had to get a 2nd backup middle infielder that played SS, and then Fontenot would have backed up 2nd and maybe 3rd. He wouldn't have gotten very many at-bats at all this year unless something major happened to one of Hudson or Ramirez.

 

If Hudson was willing to sign a 2 year deal for low money, I would think about it. But giving up a draft pick for 1 year of production when there's a reasonable chance you can get slightly worse production from a guy you already have on your roster? That doesn't make very much sense to me.

I just got back and was looking to see who the runs were attributed to and noticed your numbers in that column are off. I'm assuming the sixth run should be credited to Heilman.

 

Atlanta did not score a 6th run !!! :evil:

 

What are you .... some kind of trouble maker ?????
