nomar

[UMFan83]

If the Cubs went after Nomar, it would be a disaster. Nomar has all the leverage there. It seems like every team in baseball has been interested in Nomar right now, plus the fact that the Cubs basically chose Furcal over Nomar and pushed him to the curve.

 

To resign Nomar we'd have to pay him for at least a 3 year deal at $10 million per. You might think I'm crazy, but remember, the Cubs (if they went after Nomar) would need Nomar a lot more then Nomar needs the Cubs.

Where's the evidence that Hendry put all his eggs into Furcal's basket?? Do we have Jim Hendry's a Moran Strawman #1400? :o

 

No, but that may be your 1400th post needlessly bashing other posters while thinking that emoticon means something though.

 

Not signing Furcal doesn't = stopgaps everywhere, that's a strawman argument itself for crying out loud. Trade for Bradley, get an Abreu, Wilkerson, Dunn, Gomes, etc., and maybe let Cedeno play SS. Where's the stopgap?

I just now read the post you were referring too. But this crap is what I'm talking about. The point is made when you question whether "Hendry put all his eggs into Furcal's basket". It's a valid point, I don't have a strong opinion one way or another. But you continually try to act victimized like one side of the argument is always at fault for not being perfect, and it really needs to stop. Make the point you want to make, stop there, don't attack the poster.

I said the argument was a strawman argument. How the f did I "attack" the poster?? Don't spin off your chair friend w/ such accusations.

So while we're disregarding people, we'll just call everyone who they feel applies whiny, stupid, arrogant, etc. Oh well, at least we'll finally be able to call out [you] for being a jerk all the time.

So strawman argument's the equivalent of calling someone a jerk now. The intrepretation gets richer.

 

All I said is that the argument lacked evidence and was weak. That's not harsh whatsoever, but keep holding that cape. ;)

What is going on in this thread???

 

I came on here looking to read about Nomar Garciaparra and our potential SS options, and all I can find is a thread laced with insults.

 

Let's please all knock it off and stick to discussing the topic of the thread...

 

Thanks.

[Mizzou]

Wow, more non-baseball discussion in the transactions forum. That really doesn't surprise me anymore. That's sad.

 

I don't get the "Nomar wont be back cause Hendry treated him like crap" argument. Hendry simply told Nomar to seek employment elsewhere and that the Cubs were looking in another direction. Isn't that a lot better than NOT telling him anything and leaving Nomar in the dark? Nomar is a professional baseball player and surely realizes the injury risk that he is - he can't be surprised that a team would prefer a younger, faster, more reliable option than him. If that option doesn't pan out though, Nomar can't be bitter and refuse to deal with Hendry. If he is, well, I hope he has fun playing in Pittsburgh.
