    I also need a text message... I'm on the road in Atlanta and probably won't have access to the internet all day. Who wants to be a pal? Just remember for whoever agrees to send Truffle this text message that you are very likely to get a very angry text message back decrying the high school player that was taken :D not if i smash my phone against the wall first!

    Cubs can do much better than Beau Mills, Josh Vitters, Jarrod Parker or Dudley Doolittle at 3, but unfortunately they won't. :x

    Smokies win on a Sam Fuld RBI double 2 perfect innings for Samardzija... 3 ground ball outs, 2 fly ball outs and a K

    Yes, because Hendry has such a poor track record with trading players There's a difference between trading for a player(Lee, Ramirez, Barrett, Pierre(whoops!), Nomar) and trading away a player(Sosa, Patterson, Maddux). Hendry is awful at the latter, and that's what he'd be doing with Z. Sosa, Patterson, Maddux are terrible examples. None had anywhere near the value that Zambrano has. Both the pro- and anti-Hendry camps should realize that there is no comp for Zambrano on Hendry's trade resume. So using history to speculate about how well he'd do is pretty futile and silly. not really. It's Jim Hendry. As a general manager, he's done a very poor job. Odds are that he'll do a poor job in what he gets in return for Zambrano.

    Guzman didn't suffer an arm injury last month :roll:
  10. TruffleShuffle
    I'd prefer him over Vitters
  11. TruffleShuffle
    price's bonus demands are not that high... if tampa doesn't pick him i'll be shocked.
  12. TruffleShuffle
    I dont think so. He has very good mechanics, and a very smooth, free and easy release. He is a very low risk to have an injury. very low risk? he throws a baseball from a pitcher's mound, which immediately rules out "very low risk." Plus he throws 98 mph in high school... how often do those types of guys not end up getting hurt?

    over/under on how soon parker needs arm surgery after we draft him? i'm going with two years.
  14. TruffleShuffle
    Ryan Harvey reminded the scouts of Dale Murphy.
  15. TruffleShuffle
    don't click on it

    unwilling to adjust is often, more accurately, unable to adjust
  17. TruffleShuffle
    Yep...this is what was so frustrating about Corey. Don't see that - he was one of the hardest workers in the system, routinely show up earlier than he had to for spring training. yeah but he didn't improve, so he wasn't trying
  18. TruffleShuffle
    Juan Pierre because he's a bad evaluator of talent
  19. TruffleShuffle
    to temper your excitement - jim hendry will be the one trading him.
  20. TruffleShuffle
    AWESOME. I was eagerly awaiting this post.
  21. TruffleShuffle
    don't get my hopes up
  22. TruffleShuffle
    just gave imb a sympathy vote
  23. TruffleShuffle
    How in the world does that make sense? yeah this isn't quite as dumb as a trade idea involving wright or reyes, but it's getting there.
  24. TruffleShuffle
    Jeff Francis or Matt Holliday please Troy Tulowitzki and Chris Iannetta. I would all about that trade possiblity! yeah unfortunately the rockies are not run by cubs fans
  25. TruffleShuffle
    he actually has some plate discipline. corey didn't.
