  2. I also mentioned that I hoped Lou's offensive philosophy would filter upward in the organization. He talked about the importance of outs today.

  9. My take is they're seeing if Murton can play right if they trade Jacque.

  13. Booo indeed. And I dont know why. I'm sure Pat & Ron would be more than welcomed to. Announcers generally don't want to work a whole lot of games in the spring. The decision, though, is a WGN management one.
  14. Hill: 59 pitches, 39 strikes through 4 innings.
  15. Lineups Padres M. Giles, 2B B. Giles, RF Blum, SS Walker, 1B Kouzmanoff, 3B Cruz, CF Sledge, LF Bowen, C Stauffer, P Cubs Soriano, CF Murton, LF Lee, 1B Ramirez, 3B Jones, RF Barrett, C DeRosa, 2B Izturis, SS Hill, P
  16. At this point, it's a battle between Perez and Cedeno. Of course, the Cubs could make a deal late. I'm sure you guys remember they got Freddie Bynum at the end of spring last year. You do remember, right? :D
  17. Point conceded on Jacque. I could live with that.
  18. Lineups Seafarers Bloomquist, 3B Reed, LF Johjima, C Broussard, DH LaHair, 1B Jones, CF Garciaparra (not Nomar), 2B Torcato, RF Ordonez, SS Baek pitching Cubs Soriano, CF Jones, RF Lee, 1B Ramirez, 3B Floyd, DH Barrett, C Murton, LF DeRosa, 2B Izturis, SS Lilly pitching
  19. Ah, I knew you guys would handle it. Thanks.
  20. Was Wade Miller able to maintain his velocity beyond the 1st two innings? He was making minor league rehab starts last year where he would touch 87-89 and a maybe flirt with 90 once or twice and by the 3rd end up around 84-85. It appeared he was. This also falls under the category of "all things being equal." In fact, even if Miller's velocity does drop during games, the Cubs will figure that he'll "know how to pitch" without it. I'm not saying that's right or wrong; it's just what they'll figure. And don't discount the minor-league option that Guzman has. I understand all this, but don't you think it would be more wise to give Guzman a chance with the big boys first, before just burning that last option? If they send him down right off, then the next time they bring him up it's for good or gone. I also think Prior has a place in this argument. Even if Miller were traded, Mark might be able to progress enough to be ready after maybe 3 Guzman starts. That would buy a little breathing room to consider a Miller trade in my mind. I've been gone for a while here on the off-day, so unless somebody has mentioned this, you can option a guy as many times as you want during the year. He is not "out of options" until next year.
  21. For $21 million, Marquis is not going to be a long reliever. Even if he does struggle (he's pitched well down here), they're going to stick with him a long time.
