Apparently Cubs and Cards are leading teams to get him....Padilla replaces Harden hahahahaha

 

The Cubs and Cardinals are in the lead to sign free-agent hurler Vicente Padilla, according to a report from La Prensa passed along by Diamond Notes.

 

La Prensa's source for the report is Cesar Batista, who is linked to the agency that represents the 32-year-old. Batista says that formal negotiations will not begin until after the winter meetings. The White Sox, Orioles, Nationals, Braves, Mets, Red Sox, and Dodgers have also expressed interest in the righty.

do you mean sheets over lackey?

 

i agree because price will be cheaper...i think sheets is the definite wild card out of the FA pitchers this offseason

Yep, Sheets over Lackey...or any other options out there for SP.

 

Doubt we have the money, though.

We trade Miles, then go after this guy. Way to make me hate you again Hendry.

 

I don't place much credence in a press release from the player's agent to a Latin American newspaper which has to be translated into English. This agent must be the Spanish Scott Boras claiming 9 teams are interested.

Are there actually rumors of us pursuing Lackey?

 

no, but if hendry is going to throw down money for a starter, it might as well be for a good one

 

we really need one of those on this staff, and hendry does too if he wants to *save* his job

We have plenty of "good" starters, but what we dont have is a legit ace. As far as Im concerned, The only aces in the division are both on the Cardinals. Zambranos just isnt an ace, and its looking less and less like he ever will be. Oswalt looks as though his ace days are behing him. Cueto and Gallardo both have the potential, but it remains to be seen.

yep, by "good" i meant "ace"

 

i agree

 

but i don't know if the finances are there for lackey

 

maybe sheets, but that is putting a tremendous amount of faith in that man

 

i am not quite sure it is worth what it would take to get halladay

 

maybe it would be wiser to possibly swing a trade for an ace at the deadline instead

Id love Lackey or Sheets, but my thinking is that if there was that kind of money in the budget, they would have at least offerd Harden arbitration. Im full expecting to start the season with a rotation of Z/Demp/Wells/2 of Samarshallanny. It aint pretty, but I guess it could be worse, especially considering were not exactly in a pitching rich division.
