    Really? Which team had a higher payroll during the 90's when the Yankees were on their run? There were several. The Yankees were near the top but not at the top. Jeter Bernie O'neil Posada Brouscus Tino Pettitte These guys were the core of that team and none were that expensive at the time they were winning it all

    Does it really matter? At age 28 or 29 Piere is no hall of famer. Hell, he isn't even the top CFer in baseball. At best his is an upgrade over what the Cubs had last year, but that isn't saying much. IMO, you don't give up the likes of Pinto for one year of Piere. Doubles show what type of hitter he is. I don't want Slappy in a Cub uniform if it means giving up talent. If Pie rights himself there will be no place to Play Slappy anyway.
  3. CubinNY
    The opposite. Several reports(including Hendry himself I believe) said that Pie would have been up last year if not for his injury. I know Pie is young but I don't have hope that he will develop as much plate discipline as we would like. This is his third season in profesional baseball and he has not progressed in that department. He has been getting by beacuse he has the most talent on the fieild. I think we are all going to have to hope his talent carries him.

    Great find Vance. I love the last line. It about sums up Piere for me. Also pointed out in the article the fact that Piere has never hit over 30 doubles in a season or, somewhat more shocking seeing as he played in both Colorado and Flordia, never more than 35 combined doubles and triples.
  5. CubinNY
    It's more likely that Hendry help set the market by giving ridiculus money and years to two mediocre middle relievers. There was a quote from one agent suggesting as much.
  6. CubinNY
    The "article" (and I use that term loosly) is from a message borad like this one. I question its veracity. If it is true Hendry should be immediatly terminated and whomever lets him make that deal should go too.
  7. CubinNY
    I read that too. At least it gives me hope.
  8. CubinNY
    winning %? You should stop reading Van [expletive]. I'm glad Hendry is upgrading a weakness, I wish he wouldn't overspend to do it. And one more thing, it is an upgrade on paper only. This entire plan may well blow up in his face. Relivers not named Gagne and Wagner are a fickle lot. If that happens, then we will have a new GM to kick around.
  9. CubinNY
    All these moves and they still haven't addressed the crator in right field. If they get Piere then they have to go after Giles or trade for Abreu.
  10. CubinNY
    Great! So the Cubs won't get into a bidding War for Giles but will for Pierre? Unconcievable! (no reference to the Princes Bride intended)

    dbl post
  12. CubinNY
    I won't be happy if that happens.
  13. CubinNY
    The 2006 season will not exist to me if that happens. I heard the White Sox could use some more fans. Have at it! I'd much rather it was you Superfan. Then you could tell every one of them about what it takes to be a true fan. Come down off the horse already would you?
  14. CubinNY
    Spoken like a true Cardinal fan. Give me (a healthy) Beltran and Tejada and the Cubs wipe the floor with the NL.
  15. CubinNY
    I'll take Adam Dunn and Eric Milton please.
  16. CubinNY
    I voted other and it's color Alabama Crimson tide, Stanford Cardinal (Their mascott is a fricken tree). Those people are supposed to be smart you'd think they could come up with a batter nickname.
  17. CubinNY
    Rehabing a torn shoulder muscle I believe.

    I'm laughing on the outsdie but crying on the inside. Hendry says it is going to be via the trade route. I hope he has a blockbuster brewing on the back burner b/c the hot stove, she aint so hot.
  19. CubinNY
    That is hilarious! Baldeli is my CFer and Harvey is in right. Caberra is in LF. I traded him for Wood in 2007. Pie is my 4th OFer. Which one is Ryan Harvey in the game? I made him because I am God in my fantasy PS2 world. And I saw to it that he was good. :sunny:
  20. CubinNY
    No. That is who he is saving Lastings for. At one time I thought Manny to the Mets was a sure thing. Now I'm not as confident. But I still think it is a good bet.

    IIRC, Delgado had no interest in playing for the Mets. Delgado showed no interest in wanting to be traded this year either. Should be interesting to see how this plays off. Could he cause some problems in that clubhouse? IRRC, I think it had something to do with beying lamblasted by the NY media for not standing during the signing of that crappy God Bless America song. Omar is building a Latin oriented club that will appeal to NYs large and expanding Latin population. If he can get Manny turned around it will be all salsa all the time.

    Petit is going to be very good. Is the 1st baseman Brazille? Here me now and believe me later, the Las Vegas Gamblers are going to be very, very good. I think Petit's going to be one of those pitchers who have tremendous minor league numbers that becomes a 4th starter in the bigs. Control issues?
  24. CubinNY
    I don't think Omar is stupid at all. I think he is doing a good job of being a GM of a big market team. Delgado really solidifies that line up. If they sign Wagner and get Hernandez for behind the plate they have the makings of a division challenger. They still need some more bullpen help and another starter, but they have a ton 'o dough and a new TV network. Just my two cents.
