    My prediction for the HOF is that after Maddux and Clemens there will be very few "steriod era" players to get in. I think the writers are going to be very tough on all of the current players when it comes their time.

    How can you say Murton is overhyped here? This is something I've read this a couple of times now and I don't get it. I don't know anyone who has tried to overhype him. All most people have done is simply point out that he is outperforiming Hollandworth and yet Hollandsworth continues to ge the balk of the playing time. Could you point out any instnaces where Murton is being overhyped

    I think if one compares Ozzy to the SS of today, he pales. But if one were to look at the SS or the 19070s and 1980s PR (pre-Ripken) he stands out as clearly the best of his generation. His offensive numbers were not that far off the league leaders for his position and his defense was very good and for a long time. If he played today he'd never make it, but he didn't. And I cannot penalize him for that.

    If you can't deny something, doesn't that mean that it's NOT arguable? LOL, no it means one cannot deny that he is among the best defensive CFer of his era, thus one can make an argument that he was the best defensive CFer of his era. I have never stuck up for Edmonds before and I feel......well.....dirty. :D

    Allthough Jimbo hot dog is no longer the best defensive CF, he once was, and was for at least 5 or 6 years. I cannot stand his hotdogishness but there is no denying he was ARGUABLY the best defensive CF of his generation and in his steriod filled era, a pretty good offensive one too. I hate to say it, but if I had a vote he probably would get in. But then again I'm not a stickler for the saving the hall for the best of the best. I think the Hall should be reserved for the best of each era (approx 15 years).

    My thoughts on the trade: Roll of the dice. I do think Hendry did the right thing in trying to bolster the mediocre offense, but there wasn't much out there. We'll see what happens from here until Oct. As a Cub fan, he does not a thing to get my hope up that I may see the Cubs play in the playoffs.
  7. CubinNY
    Bruce, I know its been said before, however, we really appreciate your contributions here. Thanks for taking the time to chat with us.

    If the Cubs offense "magically" turns around and become good and they make it to the playoffs I will gladly proclaim my stupidity to anyone who reads my posts -I'll put that in my signature

    I don't think getting Lawton represents anything special. To me the best that can be said is that Hendry changed one medicore player for another. Lawton hardly puts the Cubs over the top. Maybe I'm just being a little too pesimistic after this weekend but IMO Lawton changes nothing.

    You almost get the sense that if LA were to fire Tracy, and were to offer Baker the job, that Jim Hendry would gladly let him out of the final year, and would name Atlanta 3rd base coach Fredi Gonzalez the new skipper of the Cubs. I don't think there is any way Dusty Manages the Dodgers. 1. Depo is Billy Bean guy- The manager must be on the same page as the system. 2. LA is aware of Dusty's management "style" by virtue of the fact that he managed so many games against them over the years.

    End of the season

    appearently it is too much to ask that someone read before they start making acusations. Illini Iceman: I drove home from the store today on the wrong side of the road and I didn't get a ticket or into an accident, so becuase everything worked out ok it was the right thing to do. :joker:

    LOL, how long have you been pressing the panic button? :D

    It seems like every week we have to revisit this topic, however, here it goes. Dunn is also a high OBP guy, that is what makes him so unique. He is on pace to score 100 runs this year. He is a high strike out guy, yes but he is much more than just high k/ high HR. Much, much more. And he is only 25 to boot.

    According to WESPN 1050 in NY. Boston and Tampa Bay are close to a deal that would send Huff to Boston for AAA catcher Kelly Shopish
  16. CubinNY
    His numbers in AAA are just horrible. What has happend to him?? Man he must be one messed up player. I have to believe his confidence is at an all-time low. I feel sorry for him and the Cubs.
  17. CubinNY
    I pretty much agree BBB. However, we were discussing this a few days ago and I mentioned that Murton is just the type of hitter the Cubs need in this line up (this year). They really don't need a big bopper (high K/high power guy). They need some OBP. Murton provides that. I know that the corner outfield spot is a "traditional" spot for a masher but the Cubs have a few of those and not enough guys to be driven in. I'd rather just go with Murton than give up prospect for a Floyd. Now if it's Dunn we are discussing, well that is a horse of a different color.

    wow i knew he was a TE for Auburn, never knew he was teammates with Bo though. pretty interesting. Bo Jackson lives in Burr Ridge (my neighboring village).. he lives about 3-4 miles away fro me. I didn't know Bo still lived in IL. :D
  19. CubinNY
    I agree with IMB. You can't fight success. Murton has to stay hot though.

    I must have missed the memo saying that you became a mod. You're awfully quick to call people trolls....... I must of have missed the memo saying that you became a mod. Where did I call him a troll? Check the other threads he posted in and get back to me. Thanks. Whatever. Calling him out on "questioning people's integrity" is an implication to me that you feel he is a troll. Whatever. Keep it to yourself. Did you check the other threads he posted in?

    Man, what a crazy line.
  23. CubinNY
    I know, and we have the cubs still on the schedule too. :D I wish I could say you were trolling for an argument, but sadly I can't :D
  24. CubinNY
    Ok, I'll check those threads. I agree with some of your points. I was just under the impression people were lashing out at Dusty wildly. Thanks. That is why it is a good idea to read more and question people's integrity less when you first get here.
  25. CubinNY
    On ESPN they mentioned he might be out forever. I feel bad for him. BTW he was the starting Tight End on the Auburn Football team. His RB, Bo Jackson.
