    I've only seen a handful of games in which he's played but in those games I can think of more than one occasion where he made a great defensive play at 2nd. I don't know if he could handle SS or not though.

    I'm Kurt Russell but the one in Escape from New York not the one In Tango & Cash.
  3. CubinNY
    Yeah, I know it's Sullivan, so take it for what it's worth. The saga continues... That's what I expected all along. I should start a blog or something.

    This is so much like the Roberts thread. At first I think people were making a joke, but the joke's on us.

    Neither are mediocre relievers who can't throw strikes and have bloated salaries Kevin Gregg is virtually Farnsworth's twin when the Cubs got rid of him, maybe a little worse. http://www.fangraphs.com/comparison.aspx?playerid=278&playerid2=1793&playerid3=&position=P&page=2&type=full

    The ball may be in Hendry's court but I don't think he's ever really been in the game. [conspiracy theory] I think Towers was using the Cubs to try to get more out of the Braves and Hendry kind of went along with it. I mean come on, Marshall, Cedeno, and whatall else for Peavy? Especially in relation to what he was trying to get from the Braves.[/conspiracy theory] It just doesn't add up. But stranger things have happened.

    The Cubs are trapped. Either they pay Wood, they let some of the younger guys take the ball, or they trade a middling prospect for the likes of Gregg. All and all, I'd try to keep wood, but not for 4 years. However, THE very last thing I'd do is trade for Gregg. He's going to push Marmol to the 9th eventually b/c he's going to blow too many save chances.

    ibanez is only athletic in the sense that he is a professional athlete. Here's to hoping Hendry can "wow" the Marlins for Hermida because, there's no benefit to wasting money on Ibanez. ibanez is second on my list after hermida...he has solid numbers and would really bring some solid production to the lineup...i don't understand the dislike for ibanez His age. i can understand that, but who else would you rather have besides him? realistically Realistically, in order: Bradley and then Hermida. I really like Bradley and to me a perfect offseason would be to get: Bradley or Hermida, Furcal and Peavy. I would be thrilled get those guys even though it's probably unlikely. Bradley is the man of glass. I hate the Cubs sometimes. Their fetish for minutia is disturbing and probably a good reason why they haven't won a WS in 100 years. Leadoff man Left handed power bat Athletic It's just maddening. Why not try to find the best player available?

    I'm fired up. They could televise MiLB games, winter league games, cape cod league games, AFL games. It's a baseball fan's dream. Hopefully they don't go into ESPN squeeze every game except the Red Sox and Yankees into three second chops mode for their highlight show.

    If he signed with the Giants he'd have a lot of games pitching in pitcher friendly parks. Against mostly crappy teams.

    And most of them were Ball State fans. Seriously, Miami students, you can't get up for a ranked team (and your biggest MAC rival) coming to your place? This is the MAC conference we are talking about not some 50,000 student major college. Every single school in the MAC (save Miami) is somebody's safety school, including Testicle Tech. I went to Western Michigan b/c I couldn't afford The U of M and MSU has a crappy college of Education. Give me a break.
  12. CubinNY
    Lowe please.
  13. CubinNY
    Yeah, I really doubt he's outright making this up. I'm guessing he's talking to a friend who's a low-level nobody with the Padres who talked to another low-level nobody who heard something from a mid-level nobody. Each of these nobodies liking to feel important and a part of a baseball organization liberally spreads any hint they've picked up from somebody who actually means something in the organization. Pretty soon, a vague idea of what the Padres want in return from the Cubs becomes a concrete idea of what the Cubs will receive from the Padres. Nailed it. (hopefully the peons hit the jackpot)
  14. CubinNY
    Except it doesn't mention anything about Greene. I'd piss my pants and dance a jig if it happens though.
  15. CubinNY
    I have no idea the source. http://www.desipio.com/?p=1782 He's this year's BigBird, Belkfast, or whatever.
  16. CubinNY
    This is fun too. It'll probably turn out to be just as disappointing in the end.

    This doesn't really have anything to do with MLB. Zell has to unload the team as quick as he can, and nobody will ever get financing for the whole team by the time he needs it. I have yet to see anywhere that Cuban can't complete the original bid that he put forth. If you can find a bank that will lend someone a billion dollars for a sports team right now (and payments deferred for a number of years), please call Cuban and Zell because I'm sure they'd both like to get this done. I wasn't under the impression that he needed to finance as big of a chunk of it as the others.Zell is requiring financing for anyone who wants to buy in order to avoid capital gains tax. Remember, the Tribune bought the Cubs for 20 million and are about to sell it for around a billion MLB and Zell should be tried for tax evasion.

    Either Burnett or Lowe. I'd go real hard after Lowe regardless of what happens. I'm a big Lowe fan. So would I, but I think Lowe is likely to head to either New York or prolly Boston if the Red Sox wants him. Lowe will not be going back to Boston. It didn't work out too well for him the first time around. ? The entire time he was in Boston the writers and fans questioned his "mental toughness". He was sent to the bullpen for a time and was pretty pissed about. The fact that he won a WS ring doesn't change any of that.

    Could Beane use Holliday in another trade to get something(s) he actually wants?

    Not much new to report. The guy did say that the Braves were getting antsy b/c they want to move ahead in their plans. If they get impatient for this to happen they're stupid. already posted, only about 10 posts ago. I really am losing confidence that Peavy ends up here... Sorry, I have so many people on ignore reading a thread like this is like looking at a piece of swiss cheese.
  24. CubinNY
    This is from the Atlanta Journal Constitution's David O'Brien Not much new to report. The guy did say that the Braves were getting antsy b/c they want to move ahead in their plans. If they get impatient for this to happen they're stupid.

    He might have pushed for Victor Zambrano but only and idiot would have traded Kazmir for him. Getting Zambrano wasn't the worst part of the trade.
