Pierre to Yanks?

[foonatic]

Dan Patrick reporting on ESPN 1000 that Pierre to Yanks for two prospects is near completion (Not Cano). Cashman is apparently still "thinking about the deal." Patrick joked that the only holdup is Cashman's having to stop laughing before accepting the deal.

 

Furcal, anyone?

Yeah, this has been rumored all day. Rotoworld says the prospects are pitchers Sean Henn and Scott Proctor. It seems like the Marlins could have gotten more for him. I think this goes to show that they were looking to move him to the AL quickly.

[Drew Doughty]

The Marlins are morons.

The Marlins are morans.

Thank you , Jesus. Keep him away from here. Plus Jones may be signing with Kansas City. This could be a very good day for Cubs fans.

Ah, thanks.

[HoopsCubs]

The Marlins are morons.

 

Why do you say that? For cost reasons, the owner has instructed the president and GM to gut the team - that is what they're doing.

[Drew Doughty]

They can get a lot more (prospect-wise) for him, that's why.

But surely they were instructed to get the maximum return for said gutting.

I don't see a problem with this trade from the Marlins end. What the heck are they gonna do with all this pitching?

Yeah...now if the Braves would just re-sign Furcal...they'red be almost no one to insure Neifi doesn't play 4 days a week. :roll:

Probably be really good in a few years and win yet another World Series.

If Pierre goes to the Yankees, hopefully that will help move Hendry toward a deal for Bradley.

[Deeg]

I'm on record liking Bradley more than Pierre as a player, but in the (seemingly inevitable) event that the Cubs lose Furcal, trading for Bradley still leaves you without a leadoff guy. My bigger concern is that losing Furcal will mean Hendry drastically (Pie, for example) overpays for Pierre.

[Drew Doughty]

Uhhh, why can't Bradley lead off?

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

Uhhh, why can't Bradley lead off?

 

it's a serious misuse of power.

[FloridaCubbie]

Uhhh, why can't Bradley lead off?

 

it's a serious misuse of power.

His power isn't that impressive, It's great for a CF but I don't think it would stop him from leading off.

[goonys evil twin]

I wouldn't call it more of a waste of power than when Rickey Henderson hit leadoff. Not that Bradley is as good as Ricky, but their power is similar and Milton in the 1 spot would not be a waste of anything.

[Deeg]

Bradley could lead off, of course - and absent another option he might for the Cubs. But it's not really a good fit. He strikes out a fair amount, isn't a true base stealer, and his 20-25 HR potential would be wasted. He's much better suited to break up a chain of righties in the middle of the order.

[BigbadB]

Then stick Walker in front of Bradley and call it good.

[Jehrico]

Then stick Walker in front of Bradley and call it good.

Where do I sign up for that plan?

 

All we'd need to do then is somehow make sure Neifi isn't starting over RonnyC, and get a decent bat for RF.

You just gotta have faith Hendry can net Furcal. I dont want Pierre and his microscopic OBP anywhere around here.

You mean his career .355 OBP?

It's not Hendry I'm worried about. Furcal clearly wants to stay in Atlanta, and Hendry can do nothing about that except grossly overpay (which I hope he doesn't). In the end, as Kinzer says, it's Raffy's call.

It's last years .326 i'm worried about. I realize that was a career low, But what worries me is that he may not ever make it back up to the .350 mark. Not to mention his horrible base stealing "abilities".
