    No i'm not. I gave his final stats from every year since 2000. But to be fair, lets compare nomars WORST years to Furcals BEST. 2003 Furcal: .292/.352/.443 15 HR 61 RBI 2005 Nomar: .283/.320/.452 9 HR 30 RBI (62 Games) How about nomars worst season of 140+ games? 2003 Furcal: .292/.352/.443 15 HR 61 RBI 2003 Nomar: .301/.345/.524 28 HR 105 RBI BTW, you may say nomars problem is injury, but over 10 years he has only played less than 130 games 4 times, and one was his rookie year. Nice post Roast. And BTW who said Nomar was washed up as a SS?

    $9 mill/year for 5 is way too much.
  3. CubinNY
    I'll put my life savings on the over. all $17.45 O:)

    No kidding. Wasn't there like 10 years in between 40 HR years before Foster did it in the early 80s?
  5. CubinNY
    Maybe they can hire Baylor as the hitting instructor/bench coarch. That sounds like "Donnyball"
  6. CubinNY
    Right. Finding a RFer with power should be Hendry's primary focus. To me there seems to be a surplus of serviceable CFers. And Furcal will not give the Cubs that much of an upgrade for the money. That is not to say Hendry cannot do both at the same time. But from what we know he hasn't.
  7. CubinNY
    Agreed. And I wonder if they are on the same page in other matters?
  8. CubinNY
    I am sick or hearing about the injuries. The injuries are not why the Cubs sucked. They sucked because they had sucky players because of a sucky offseason of trying to get rid of Sosa. And on top of that they were banking on injuried players.

    where'd you hear this? I just read on a Marlins board that it will be announced tomorrow, but it didn't name who we were sending. Not reliable but I thought I would throw it out there. I bet its Sing and Nolasco. Sing and Nolasco are a fair trade for Slappy. I think Nolasco will end up in the bullpen. Sing is a back up Major Leaguer.
  10. CubinNY
    Leverage? If I'm Furcal I laugh at that. I think Hendry is intent on filling a team with 14 middle infielders and 11 starting pitchers.
  11. CubinNY
    Why waste a year stunting his development in a platoon? Beat me to it. He'll only be 22 for all of 2007, easing him into his role like that is the way I would do it, as long as the platoon partner is competent. Remember as a lefty he'll get the majority of the AB's in a platoon. Like Choi? Doh! Dusty will have to go.

    Isn't Murray a 60 year veteran? :P
  13. CubinNY
    Ok, but what does that leave us for RF this year? Another 1 year rental? I think the idea of having options next year makes sense, but why go get Pierre if you aren't planning on winning in 2006? Just let Corey have another go at it if you aren't upgrading RF as well. So, what one year options are there in RF? Don't know. That is why I would go with Lofton for a year CF or as I wrote in another post, give Patterson another shot. Hell, he has to be better than last year.
  14. CubinNY
    It's always nice when you chime in craig. Great post. I guess with Pie's speed and percived lack of power *until this year* I figured Pie would be in CF. It does make sense though if Hendry is thinking Pie for a RFer. I would think he would have to show more pop next year. Lee and Aramis cannot be the only run producers in the line up.
  15. CubinNY
    Couple things 1) Most agree that Pie is not ready for the Majors yet. 2) your argument assumes the Cubs are making call ups in Sept to evalute young talent which is ridiculous. (Yes, it is possible they could make the playoffs). Should the Cubs hold off on trying to win just to accomodate players in the minor leagues? Seems like you may be getting a little too carried away with what might happen to young players and not concerned enough about winning now. If Pierre comes to the Cubs he can block Pie for 3 years if he's putting up a .370 OBP and the Cubs win the World Series. Who cares if Pie's development is stunted in that situation? Step away from the Kool-aid. Pierre has had two seasons of .370 OBP and if one wants to factor in all the CS it gets worse. Again, Pierre is not going to be the missing peice that gets the Cubs to the WS. No one is saying the Cubs should not try to win. But as I worte earlier. What is the this organization's philosophy? Hendry was quoted by Gammons and others as saying Pie would be called up last year if he hadn't gotten hurt. So, what up Jim? That is not to say I think Pie is ready for I do not. But appearently someone in the Cubs organization does. Or is it did? Hendry prides himself on giving a good deal. I hope in this case it isn't true.
  16. CubinNY
    Isn't Pie 19 or 20? Besides I'm at a point that I don't care about the prospects anymore I just want to win a damn WS no matter what cost. Couple of things Pierre will not "put the Cubs over the top", he is not that kind of a player It is ridiculus to give up a "keeper" if you think Pierre does not fit into your longterm plans. If you get Slappy for CF you damn well better get a bopper for RF. If the Cubs get him, I hope somone shows him how to wear a hat.
  17. CubinNY
    Pierre is a FA after this year. If Hendry wants Pie to play in 2007 he can just let Pierre leave. Beaten by less than a minute. :evil: you don't say? Good. Now, if Hendry gave up something for a 1 year rental I will be real upset.
  18. CubinNY
    If this trade is for spare parts (i.e., Ru, Soto, Greenburg, Patterson) OK, but if it is for others not ok. What does this say about Pie? Pierre is young enough to block Pie for a couple of years. I really don't understand Hendry's organizational philosophy at all.
  19. CubinNY
    I'm talking about what I think the Cubs should do. They should sign Giles, first and foremost. If they can fit in Furcal after that, fine. But Giles is the first priority. If Furcal goes back to Atlanta, the Braves suddenly have to cut elsewhere, then take Marcus off their hands, and you have a perfect situation to introduce Cedeno to the lineup. I like it.
  20. CubinNY
    Oh, it can be much worse than that. I could invision a scenario where Neifi is the starting SS and Cedeno is the 2nd baseman. In that scenario we have Piere in CF and Preston Wilson in RF. I wake up in a cold sweat when I think about it, but it could very well happen.

    It is rivalry week? Who is ND playing? Oh, Cuse. I don't think it is rivalry week then. ND and their fans determines who are rivals. Of course, if they determine that Cuse is a rival then, rivalry week is back on. Holy bitter. My hate for all things Golden Domeish knows no bounds.
  22. CubinNY
    Awesome huh? If FSU wins the ACC some team is going to get really screwed out of a spot they deserve. Didn't FSU go to a BCS game a few years ago with a 7-4 record? Question: Does every team have the same requirements as ND? The reason I ask is because if scUM beats O$U, they could very well be in the BCS top twelve with 8 wins, not the 9 required for ND. That's why ND should be in a conference. But ND is too "special" to be in a conference. Wha! everybody picks on ND. Wha! it's not fair. Poor old golden domers. always getting screwed out of everything.
  23. CubinNY
    I don't know. Walker's the cheapest player on the Cubs offense. He's productive and gives the Cubs what they need (OBP/LH bat). The Cubs have a lot of arms comparable to Heilman, who just turned 27 (this weekend actually). and heilman wants to start and sucks. This is just the type of trade Hendry would make. If he really needs to stockpile SP then he has some really big problems on his hands 1. the farmhands suck????? 2. The starting pitchers cannot stay healthy
  24. CubinNY
    at the end of the bench behind Macias and Perez making up really kool nicknames for the bench players.
