Williamson has definately proven he can be an excellent RP. If there is a competetion for 2nd best RP behind Dempster, Howry & maybe Weurtz should be right there. There is a possibility all 3 of them could have better years than Dempster, let's hope that's not the case & Dempster continues his brilliance as a closer.

FYI, this is a Cubs message board.

They will want a front-line starter like Z or Prior, just like what Philly & Baltimore asked for their top offensive players.

not likely

No thanks I'd rather keep Z or Prior.

Jan. 23, 2006 - 5:28 pm et Braves agreed to terms with LHP Mike Remlinger on a minor league contract. Leo Mazzone, who probably was greatly responsible for turning Remlinger's career around back in 1999, is no longer around, so it looks like something of a long shot that the Braves will get anything out of the soon-to-be 40-year-old. At best, maybe he'll be an adequate middle reliever.

Miller (Cubs #7 SP) >> Ponson(Cards #5)

Link?

Probably a minor leaguer or marginal ML player. Considering the lack of interest in Walker this offseason, I think Hendry will gladly take any offer he can get. Futhermore, I think Hendry wants to make room for Lugo at 2B. How about we get Lugo first before we trade away our best alternate option? IMO Walker> Lugo. Hendry would be downgrading. Again. There is no comparison: Walker is a 2B & Lugo is a SS

Personally I don't see Wood starting until July or August at the earliest and maybe not even at all this year. I see him working in the pen so he can get ready to sign a big deal with another team next year. Is this a gut feeling? -
Assuming Lee is #3 & Ramirez is #4, who do you think is the best candidate on the Cubs roster to insert in the #5 hole?
-
Beat you to it. :wink: Yes you did. Did you read the Rob Neyer article? He had some interesting stats on why both the Twins & Indians will be better than the White Sox next year, along with some other interesting stuff.

Here's another interesting tid-bit from that Stark Insider article: • The Orioles are concerned enough about Brian Roberts' recovery from a dislocated elbow that they're talking to the Cubs about Todd Walker.

I've got Pitt & Seattle I will be really suprised if it's Carolina & Pitt, like somelse in this thread has suggested.

Here's someone who graded the Cubs off-season with a B: (sorry pessimists) http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2006/writers/john_donovan/01/19/nl.grades/1.html

& you will still think this if he reverts back to his 02'/03' numbers? that's not going to happen, those were his prime years. yes it could happen

& who was that impact player that you knew for ceratin was avaliable?

WoW! :shock: But I think Grieve could do a .260/.350/.440 line. .350??? WoW :shock:

Your comparing Pierre's worst year to Eckstein's best

Orioles agreed to terms with outfielder Corey Patterson on a one-year, $2.8 million contract. It's the same salary he received a year ago, when he hit .215/.254/.348 in 451 AB for the Cubs. Jan. 17 - 6:17 pm et

Upper level system pileup at 2B and 3B
TrueBlueCubFan replied to don_kessinger_was_good's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
Any guesses on who will be the starter @ 2nd for the Cubs in 07'? Both JHJR & Walker are FA's. Will the Cubs go the FA route or will they promote within like what is happening with both Murton & Cedeno? Who has the best chance out of this minor league group to make the big club as the starting 2nd baseman in 07? -
IF the AL gets rid of the DH then I'm fine with Interleague play. Right now the schedule is very unbalanced & unfair.
