Fire Sale

[Abe Frohman]

Fire sale? Who are you going to get rid of? Soriano? Lee? Zambrano?

 

I think it might help if Piniella would just start playing guys who produce, regardless of how much they are making.

 

*OUTFIELD: Bench Soriano, Bradley, and if the slide continues - Fukudome. Reed Johnson in CF. Fox and Hoffpauir should also be in the lineup, if you ask me.

 

*INFIELD: Move Theriot to 2B. Blanco starts at SS - because his glove is better, not because anything Theriot did/didn't do. We are a better team with Blanco on short. Call up Scales and let him play some 3B with Fontenot and Fox. Creating the competition will light a fire under someone's ass.

 

Soto is platooning until the best defensive catcher stands up. It's obvious that the Cubs aren't going to get offense from that position this year. They aren't getting offense from any position in the order, but you get my drift.

 

Pray that the rest of the NL Central keeps letting the Cubs hang around despite mediocre play. Hope for a hot surge during the stretch drive and into the playoffs.

 

This is not a playoff team.

Reed Johnson is not good. And I'm not sure how people have not noticed that Soto has been very productive this month. He was abysmal in April but was at least right around average in May and very good in June.

Either this team is that bad or you haven't looked at June's number. In what world is .235/.321/.559 considered good?

For the season, an .880 OPS would be 5th among catchers w/ 150+ PA's.
