    Even knowing the risks, he'd be the first guy I want the Cubs to get. I don't know if the Cubs have anything Beane would want though. I don't think Vitters can be traded yet? Pie and Colvin have little value at this point. I'd guess he might want Donaldson (is he tradeable?) and he'd surely want Sean G. The Shark might be interesting, but I just don't think Beane would want anyone outside of Sean. None of those name equate to "getting special".

    I yelled "creature" at him once in Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh being Pittsburgh we had great seats, two rows in back of home plate to the Cubs side of the field (in "the Home Plate" club) so I was probably 15 feet away from him. He stopped dead in his tracks and gave me a look that took six months off my life. I'd say if he knows it, he doesn't like it.

    Recap of what Hendry would have said if he were on.

    Hudson and Burnett are probably about equally as non-durable. probably not. Looking at their track records, I guess you're right. Either way, all 3 guys are solid options, IMO; just stay away from Wolf. Hudson has a really good track record health-wise. I'd worry about PAP with him, but he's been consistent and solid throughout his career. Seriously, I'm not worried about health. If any of those three can help get the Cubs to, and win a World Series I don't care if they do a Barbero after the win.

    Learning to play defense and not worry about hitting. He can do that if he's hitting well.

    First two innings were scoreless. Gave up a solo HR in the 3rd, a run on a squeeze in the 4th and the wheels fell off in the 5th. Disappointing...he's had 3 bad starts and 4 quality starts. Needs to stop being so inconsistent, especially when he's repeating the MWL. Wasn't he the guy doing PEDs?
  7. CubinNY
    You should know :wink: Next questions, are they really going to try to move him to a starter? If so why, was he a closer in college? Are the pro scouts/the Cubs that much smarter than a college coach? It just seems kind of off to me. However, I'm no expert.

    Nifty. Are both going to Boise? The reporter (Steve Holly from Inside the Ivy) only said that Shafer would report to Mesa on Thursday, and the info on Cashner mentioned above. Is there a chance that Cashner sees the bigs this year?

    He still cannot hit a breaking pitch. When I saw him in Memphis he hit a screaming line drive about 400 feet over the left field fence. I mean that thing got out in mili-seconds. That was the last fastball he saw for the two games I went to. I don't think he had another hit and struck out at least 3 times. He's a physical specimen but has no plate discipline at all.

    This is almost as good as IMB in the Out of Your League Girl Thread. Almost.

    I'll save you the trouble That's each post in emoticon. Where did you get that? Here's one sample thread: http://www.forums.mlb.com/n/pfx/forum.aspx?tsn=1&nav=messages&webtag=ml-indians&tid=42962 Sounds more like a :banghead: than a \:D/ in that particular discussion anyway. I misread. Shouldn't be doing two things at once. Or three for that matter. My guess is it that they are sorry to see the team as messed up as it appears to be. Somebody needs to get fired. If I were a fan the only other thing I'd be upset about is that they didn't get enough. The Yankees know that they didn't need to trade for him b/c they'll be signing him in the offseason.

    That is a pretty good assessment. Three and half weeks gives Rich Hill time to master the strike zone in the minors (or not) and gives the Cubs and A's time to see if a) Harden can stay healthy and b) who the Cubs have to offer that Beane might want. The Cubs (and their fans, meaning us) have to hope that Marquis has at least one good start until July 31.

    Did you get a call up? :wink: ------------------ Sabathia only pitches once every 5 days. Get a hold of yourself. They're still the same team that folded down the stretch last year and they're still managed by the second worst manager in baseball (and that is saying something). Yost + Sabathia = a push.

    Based on what? The fact he's a better baseball player. Um, the stats currently show the opposite. He's played 1/2 of a season, let's wait and see.
  16. CubinNY
    hahahhahahaa
  17. CubinNY
    Obviously, this is a great move for the Brewers (on paper). However, the Cubs have killed lefties this year and The Crew still have Ned F. Yost managing the team. Let's see who Hendry pulls out of his hat this year. Beane said, "You're either rebuilding for something special, or you're on the verge of something special. To be in between is foolish." I wonder were he thinks the A's are now? Rich Harden would look nice in Cub Pin stripes.

    Lot's of players with the "tools" of Francouer get by on tools alone until they make it to MLB.
  21. CubinNY
    Blech Woody, got to throw strikes. Yea Aramis! Ted Lilly has been a much better pitcher than I ever expected before the Cubs signed him. Z's back! Marmol looked great. Theriot continues to shock the ever living hell out of me. There's a lot to be happy about. I'm not worried a bit. Cuck the Fardnials and TBFIB.
  22. CubinNY
    The best part of all that was that they had the troll in to dish the gossip. Paul Sullivan is a waste of humanity
  23. CubinNY
    Anyone else getting fired up for this game?
  24. CubinNY
    Somebody send this to Hendry. It probably wouldn't do any good though.

    Alexi Rameriz is quite impressive. He's going to be a great player. The .309 OBP with a .021 IsoP isn't too impressive to me. He turns 27 in September too. 27? I thought he was 20 or 21. I'll not mention that he's only played 1/2 of a season in MLB. Crap I just did. I think he is going to be very, very good for the next 4 or 5 years. I'd take him over Theriot or DeRosa right now. Why? Ramirez: .288/.309/.439/.748 with a pretty IsoD Theriot: .307/.388/.363/.751 DeRosa: .290/.378/.453/.831 Because I think Rameriz is going to be a better baseball player than either of those two.
