What could Walker, CPatt and Welly bring the Cubs?

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

I'd rather Raul Ibanez than Mench. Todd Walker for Ibanez.

 

Wow....I'd definitely take Ibanez :)

 

Raul Ibanez = Jacque Jones, Jr

 

Maybe in some bizarro world, but not in reality. Ibanez can get on base.

Ellis missed the entire 04 season with a torn labrum in his right shoulder that he received in a collision in spring training. I thought his 05 contract was for one year - he was signed on as the backup for Crosby in the 05 season....he ended up playing both 2B and SS for the A's this past season.

 

He only played 7 games at short, only started 5 of them. He now has 3.136 years of ML service time, meaning he is eligible for arbi for the first time.

 

Yeah...I wasn't exactly sure how long he'd been up to the big leagues......and regardless of how many games he had at short, a statement of "he ended up playing both 2B and SS for the A's this past season" is an accurate one.

 

However "he was signed on as the backup for Crosby on the 05 season" is not. He was signed on as the starting second baseman (to split time with Keith Ginter), Marcus Scutaro was the backup shortstop from day 1.

Thanks for the correction.....please continue to serve your fellow NSBB members and continue to look for menial statements to correct them on. I guess that makes you feel "bigger". It's one thing if a stat is posted incorrectly.....but let's attempt letting the not-so-trivial tidbits slide by? OKAY? Thanks!!

 

And, for the record, he was signed on to split time with Ginter @ 2B....which would also constitute a role as a backup MI as well.

He was just setting the record straight, don't take things so personally.

What happened to the talk of moving Walker to the Royals for Mike McDougal?

 

Fixed. :)

I understand where he was coming from - not setting the record straight......the same thing goes on with almost every member on here.....attempting to start a feud and patting themselves on the back after they think they "won". My point is....WHO CARES?

 

If I posted Mark Ellis had an .obp of .390 last year, then correct THAT. Splitting time with another player at 2B DOES contstitute a role as a backup middle infielder.

That probably died when we signed Eyre and Howry.

You know, for somebody who takes disagreements so personally, you sure don't mind sniping yourself.
