    I would like to go on record and say that if Furcal signs with the Cubs the ire on this board over his baseball performance will rival if not exceed that of Neifi F. Perez.

    Who are the Cards going to trade for Giles? The stud AAA pitchers didn't fare to well this year. And the system otherwise is barren of talent. Funny how we hear the same old record every year. The Cardinals don't have any talent to trade.... What? They just traded for _________. I'm not saying that the Cards have the richest farm system in the majors, far from it, but Walt seems to make things happen with what they do have. You still have not answered my question.

    I really do have to wonder why Hendry gave him so much and for two years. That is a question I'd like to see the sportswriters ask. It seems like an aweful high amount for a roster filler.

    Just one of the many reason why wins aren't an important metric. However, they are not tottaly usless if used in the context of other variables.
  6. CubinNY
    Right you are.

    Man the Mets are getting fleeced on that one. I wonder if Omar would Want Neifi and Corey for Reyes?

    That is fantastic. I'm sending it to one of my co-workers

    You can stop with the Patterson compairsons right now. Not one person has mentioned him in this thread other than you. You are creating a strawman argument and trolling. It is high time you stop.

    Any GM whose chief offensive concern is "timely hitting" has absolutely no buisiness making personnel decisions for a professional baseball club. (Competitive or otherwise.) Aside from the first two points (which aren't bad) that's a plan for mediocrity even in the best of circumstances. It also the plan that won the world series for 4 of the last 5 years. The plan that won 4 of the last WS was 1 and 2. Three through five do not factor in to the equation. And five is bordeline neglagence, becuase it is the absence of a plan.

    it is either from the piece in the trib or Daily Herald. Here is my idea "2006 Chicago Cubs, we pay top dollar for medicority" or "1908 to 2006, ninety-eight years and countling."
  12. CubinNY
    That was awesome Jon.

    Floyd is more of a LFer. He has only played a handful of games in RF. However, I could see Hendry placing him in RF. Floyd is the streakeist of streaky hitters. If the Cubs get him we will have to live with the prolonged slumps in between hot streaks.

    There's a reason five organizations rid themselves of Milton Bradley, and it's not because of his baseball ability. Dumb move. Five organizations? Montreal traded him because they were getting Zach Day, both were good prospects at that point. Cleveland traded him because they had Sizemore coming and he was arbitration eligible, in addition to his off field problems. Bradley's only been with 3 organizations, and this would be the only one to get rid of him for solely behavioral issues. Nope. I've already mentioned his behavior issues he had in Cleveland, his attitude problem in Anaheim with Mike Scoiscia are well known, and now the Dodgers are getting rid of him, BECAUSE OF HIS ATTITUDE and character flaws. It's likely that Montreal traded Bradley away for the same reasons, just that his incidents in Montreal aren't public. But hey, if you still want the guy despite of his thugish attitude, there's nothing else I can say. Or maybe just one more thing: Police have responded to the Redondo Beach home of Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Milton Bradley three times this summer on domestic violence calls, including one instance in which he allegedly choked his pregnant wife, bloodied her lip and hurled a cellular telephone into a wall. http://www.dailybreeze.com/news/articles/1705006.html Bradley never played for the Angles. I think you are thinking of Guillen.

    All I have to say is that Walker must be a real jerk or something for him to be treated this way. All he has done is play well for the Cubs and his reward is the signing of Perez to take his spot (if the Cubs land Furcal).

    Where? I am from Niles.
  17. CubinNY
    That is exactly right Jon. Hendry seems to pride himself of loyalty. He pays for past performance. That is not a good trait for a GM.

    Day games, Jack Brickhouse, Lou Beadrou, and my dad.

    Is it really over reacting to a pattern that repeats itself? I agree with you that it's only November but Hendry is continuing to do things the same way he always has and is expecting different results. Examples? Todd Hollandsworth, Jeromy Burnitz, Neifi Perez, Antonio Alfoseca, etc. ad infinitium.
  20. CubinNY
    You base this opnion on what evidence?
  21. CubinNY
    How can you possibly say that given what happened after Nomar went down and the Cub were clearly out of the race. Good grief, indeed.
  22. CubinNY
    If Hendry is using Neifi to lure Furcal, he is a worse GM than what I thought he was. That is very bad business and stupid baseball. Shouldn't the lure to Chicago be playing for great fans in a historic ballpark and making crapload of money?
  23. CubinNY
    Some people call it insanity, some call it stupidity. Take your pick.
  24. CubinNY
    No, no, no wha! I need an intervention. I'm addicted to the Cubs. I want to rid myself of this addiction until the Cubs get better people running the organization. OO, your scenario is exactly what will happen. Dusty Baker, "I gotta' pick the spots to set Cedeno up to be succesful."

    Of the players labeled malcontents, how many were considered malcontents prior to their arrival in Wrigleyville? None! Me thinks that Dusty breeds malcontentia. Wasn't it the same year that Bonds and Kent got into a cat fight that the Giants went to the World Series? No doubt. I'm trying to think like I think Hendry thinks. If you know what I mean :D
