    Koyie "3-finger" Hill?
  2. erik316wttn
    I agree. I've never been a fan of creating one hole to fill another.
  3. erik316wttn
    Geovany Mother-[expletive] Soto.

    Dehydration issues for Z again, possibly?

    I don't know where the Red Sox would put Pena, unless they DH him or Gonzalez. He wouldn't go to Philly unless Ryan Howard would get some sort of season-ending injury. David Ortiz is like the best hitter in baseball right now. I have no idea why I forgot him. So no, barring injury Pena is not going either of those places.

    Absolutely. LH power is always in demand. If we kick in his remaining salary we could get a damn good prospect or two for him.

    Establish the inside corner. Go with a brushback.
  10. erik316wttn
    I'd go with the knuckler.
  11. erik316wttn
    ahahahaha

    Can we test Koyie Hill for steroids? Maybe he'll fail and then he'll be off the team for 50 games.
  13. erik316wttn
    Holy crap is Pena hot right now.
  14. erik316wttn
    Gone when, exactly?
  15. erik316wttn
    Meh. If the Cubs win someone will have to start the game 2 thread because I'll be at work.
  16. erik316wttn
    Yeah, I'm a whore. I admit it.

    The earliest I'd consider firing Hendry would be August. That way, the risk of a desperate interim GM making short-sighted moves is gone and it makes the minimal benefits (if any) stand out more. I don't think it makes much difference whether you fire him August 1 or the day after game 162, though. Firing Hendry on August 1st would be one heck of a birthday present for me.

    He meshed very well with Pat in Ron's absence last year, and is doing a respectable job. Once he and Pat work together more it'll get better. It helps that he has prior broadcasting experience, though. I know I'm in the minority, but I'd still rather have Ron.

    This is the makeup of the 4/27 rainout. Whatever.
  20. erik316wttn
    Strasburg and Harper though, I may bite. But who cares? It would never happen.
  21. erik316wttn
    Strasburg & Harper. Either is good.
  22. erik316wttn
    Wow, cursing at the TV at your gf's parents house over fantasy football? You sound like a real catch.
  23. erik316wttn
    That's phenomenal at any age.
  24. erik316wttn
    Grace was no slouch.
  25. erik316wttn
    No, but they have a ton of money coming off the books next year and can fill holes via FA. If you can get something for Rammy right now, go for it. Or if someone is dumb enough to eat most of Soriano's contract, do it in a heartbeat. Re-stock the farm and sign who you need. Trading players with expiring contracts isn't the same as "blowing a team up." "Blwoing a team up" means you're moving guys like Marmol and Zambrano and Soto as well. And nobody is taking Soriano unless the Cubs pick up most of the tab. Then I was not clear as to what I wanted. I'm open to trading anyone on the team, save for Castro, and if you trade Soto, Garza, or Marmol you'd better get a haul in return. Anyone else on the team can be had for a fair price, so shop just about anyone because we're not doing jack this year.
