  1. He did just mention his OBP problems.
  2. I could see that happening. If they are going to go with that middle infield, I would hope for an upgrade in CF along with Lee.
  3. Thats a solid squad. Soriano would probably be forced into the leadoff spot on that team by most managers. Soriano Barrett Lee Aramis Sheffield Jones Murton Izturis Pitcher I think if I were filling out the lineup card on this team it would be more like: Murton, Barrett, Lee, Aramis, Soriano, Sheffield, Jones, Izturis, Pitcher.
  4. The FA market for SP is going to be really bad. Schimdt and Zito will get overpaid. Marquis will get way more than he should. Weaver, Padilla are guys who could be cheap. *edit* Trade for Lackey. :D Don't forget the top pitcher from Asia who might be coming over. Maddux, Ohka, Meche, Mussina are all free agents.
  5. I don't think that is a good lineup. Counsell's best days are long gone. Ceaser cannot hit 2nd on a good team. He simply can't.
  6. Who do you have in mind? I could see Hendry signing 2 mid-level pitchers like Ohka and Meche rather than 1 Schmidt/Zito.
  7. Trot Nixon coupled with Jacque Jones = every team pitching lefties against the Cubs Murton would be there to spell one of them. I guess it would have to be Nixon since Murt can't play center. Nixon's .400 OBP would be nice in the 2 spot, and I bet he doesn't make over $7M in 07.
  8. We need more offense than Rowand has. Move Jones to CF. Sign Carlos Lee and Trot Nixon. Sign Jason Schmidt. Z, Schmidt, Marmol, Prior, ? 2B? (Not Cedeno/Neifi!) Trot Nixon D-Lee Carlos Lee Aramis Barrett Jones Ceaser Pitcher
  9. It's not really "journalism" but Mike Murphy hit the nail on the head on the Score this morning. He was very critical of the return in the Maddux trade basing his argument around OBP. He said the Cubs simply "don't get it," and will be the last team to figure it out. Sabermetrics has been around for decades and the Cubs are clueless. He also said you simply can't afford to have both Cedeno and Ceaser on the team because neither one can bat above the 8th spot on a good team. There are some people in the sports media who get it, but there are far more who don't.
  10. Or let's hope he hit .100 the rest of this season and Hendry gets fired.
  11. There's no point in trying to find the best case scenerio. hendry will do the worst case scenerio.
  12. What an idiot. Hendry gets played and is completely oblivious to it. So what does the infield for next year look like? 1B) Derrek Lee 2B) Cesar Izturis or Ronny Cedeno SS) Cesar Izturis or Ronny Cedeno 3B) David Bell (acquired as a free agent after Aramis opts out) MI) Neifi Perez The rest of the teams in the NL Central must be quaking in their boots. Make a deal for Tejeda, and move Izturis to 2b. They reportedly turned down Oswalt. They also reportedlyturned down Santana. What do you want to give up for him? Zambrano?
  13. he seriously did not say that. sure did. God help us. Unreal. We will not be near contending even with a $100M payroll with that idiot running the show. What the hell happened to the guy who pulled off the Lee, Aramis, and Nomar trades? Can we get him back now?
  14. Awful. Awful. Freaking Awful. Why couldn't we get Guzman. Is there a worse MLB GM than Hendry?
  15. What the hell. This is freaking stupid. Look forward to our 07 middle infield of Cedeno/Izturis putting up a .650ops each.
  16. I assume we are sending cash. So I also think it might be a decent prospect.
  17. Buster Olney says the Dodgers have "made progress" in Maddux negotiations.
