    Apparently, when Towers inquired about Dye, Kenny Williams asked for Khalil Greene and Scott Linebrink. That is high-larious. Why didn't he ask for Gonzalez too?

    They realize Murton is sitting in AAA right now, right? But you're not likely to get great numbers from anyone that doesn't get consistent playing time. Exactly. I want to feel excited about the possibility of Murton (and maybe Soto or Cedeno) getting the call, but honestly we all know what'll happen if they do. Arrive at Wrigley, wait 3 days before getting a start, going 0/4 with 2 Ks, banished to the bench for spot duty for a 2-3 week period before being sent down again. Newsflash, Baker isn't here anymore. I think Lou has been good about playing guys that have just been brought up. Also, I think he has shown the willingness to play those who produce, or who have earned more playing time. You are free to think what you like. It's America. I love the idea of earning playing time as if there should be a 1:1 correspondence from each AB to the amount of time one gets to play.

    Give us some dirt.

    The Cubs are too shortsighted. They think they need a HR hitter and appearently when Murton plays in RF he forgets how to play baseball (at least according to some). Murton also seems to have gotten into the doghouse with Lou for having the termidity to disagree with Lou on whether he changed his batting "mechanics". It's all so very Cubs like to not play the best option at a given positon.

    The Phillies are the same number of games out in their division as the Cubs, why would they want to take a bunch of garbage and pay the same amount that they are paying for Burell?

    That just means you'll be twice as disappointed when it doesn't happen. :wink: Ouch. Since I'm already losing, I'll mention that it's already happened twice this weekend alone for me....8-) ONCE FOR ME!!! :stickman: :w00t: :trophy: :party1: :jive: :party2: Chicks dig bikers. that's what it was, she finally went for a ride yesterday You're dangerous again. Start walking around in a white T-shirt with your cigs rolled up in the sleve and walk around all day like you've smelled a fart. You'll have more poon than you can handle.

    I love the logic. Jones is a CFer so he doesn't count. Fantastic. He's played 160+ gemes in CF and 800+ in RF/LF. Jones counts, he doesn't count for much unfortunately, but he counts. I'd get rid of Ward's fat ass in a NY minute if the Cubs could get an 800/900 OPS outfielder to play in RF every day. If they could find one, they might be able to play Pie in CF every day.

    The ball has to be juiced

    Holy Christ Jay Bruce just crushed a ball.

    Hu is at SS.?. :D

    I hope Hendry is watching this game and taking notes. 1. Koyie Hill is real bad 2. Angle Pagen is not the answer in CF 3. The Cubs need a power bat 4. They need to get some help sooner rather than later (at the deadline)
  13. CubinNY
    That's not his job, that's the job of the team president. Noted Amend point three to read: Hires a team president that fires Jim Hendry on day 1.
  14. CubinNY
    I don't really care who owns the Cubs as long as he/she/they 1. Puts an emphisis on modern analysis and player development. 2. Puts a product on the field that is competitive in the NL (not within the division). 3. Fires Jim Hendry on day 1.

    Welcome. I'm going to take some heat for this, but Marmol might be a player that could get the Cubs a decent bat in a trade. I'm not saying that I'm advocating for him to be traded, but bullpens are are more tempramental than a 13 year-old cheerleader. I suppose the Cubs could put Dempster on the block, but he has to get healthy first.
  16. CubinNY
    Just to nitpick, but thats .100 points of SLG better then Murton. I'd say thats way better. Not in the limited number of ABs. That is the problem with cherry picking small data sets. It's probably the difference of a double or two.

    I thought he was going back to play football.

    Excellent post. The Cubs haven't developed any position players in a while now. The reasons are probably many, but among those are expecting players to start producing a maximum capacity right out of the gate while at the same time contiuning to play vetrans who suck.

    Kroger is also looking pretty good too.

    Hopefully he'll replace Samardzija in Peoria when it's time for Jeff to go back to ND. Haha, these posts were from July 16 and 17 of last year on the first page of this thread - and in less than a year, Billy Petrick is in the big leagues. Even funnier, I thought you were making a joke about Samardzija going back to ND to play football. If that makes any sense. ------- Unrelated, I don't see how it is possible for the Cubs are calling Samardzija's pitches. Anyway, what does it really matter? He's in the bullpen now. I thought he was starting again. Hasn't he won his last 2 starts? You are correct. I haven't been paying close enough attention.

    I agree with J.R.

    When Pie gets sent back down and if Murton doesn't get sent up, I'll wager better OPS from AAA than MLB in the outfield.

    Floyd is/was more productive and hitting the ball much better than Murton. What does that have to do with defense? It has a lot to do with my entire post why Murton should not be playing. He elected to take one small part to disagree with instead of the entire post as a whole. I said Floyd and Pagan are better options right now...which they are. Floyd is a better option, temporarily true. Pagan, not true. Note: Pagan is hitting .231 is last ten games. And Floyd is at .250, I,ll take Murton. Do you think it's fair to judge Pagan in his last 10 games? I don't...he's exceeded my expectations this year and has hit the ball pretty well this year. Yet it is fair to judge Murton by 24 games? What is the cut off games to judge a player so we can have your brilliant ability too.

    Another Murton excuse on this site? No way... This isn't little Johnny trying to make the varsity roster so let's please do away with the pressure argument. This is professional sports....I would sure hope there's pressure. Murton was given every opportunity to be a starting corner outfielder and he didn't produce. If you don't produce, it's Lou's job to insert someone else who will - which is exactly what he is trying to find. Murton is a light hitting corner outfielder with a poor arm, average speed and a major defensive liability every time he steps on the field. Just because he knows how to take a pitch and has "upside" he should be given the benefit of the doubt and let him play out of this prolonged slump? I thought the fans wanted this team to win now?? It's one or the other. http://www.baseball-reference.com/m/murtoma01.shtml Don't know where to begin.
