    To put this in perspective, that's only 4 runs scored behind Furcal and second best among national league leadoff hitters last year. :shock: As such, it's hard to fault his runs scored. Except Furcal wasn't hitting ahead of Castillo, Cabrera and Delgado, or an equivalent trio, Furcal played 8 games fewer while amassing 29 fewer plate appearances, and Furcal's effective OBP at .333 wasn't that hot. A good leadoff hitter hitting in front of three fine hitters and playing every single day should score at least 120 runs. I don't have the energy to research this right now, but I believe that you'll find that the list of league leaders in runs scored is usually filled with power hitters. If you don't drive yourself in a lot, it's tough to have huge runs scored totals. I could be proven wrong.

    http://chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseball/cubs/cs-051206cubs,1,1301681.story?coll=cs-cubs-headlines It says there are two offers on the table. One for Pierre, and one for several Cub players for one player in return - then says the Cubs have also had talks with Tampa for Lugo and Huff. George Offman was on the radio this morning and said there's another offer on the table from Hendry but no one is sure exactly who it is to yet - "but they've been in talks with the Dodgers, Rangers, Nationals, etc." I guess I don't see the connection. Oh, well.

    The Devil Rays evidently refused Marte for Lugo. Is Marte a child molester or something?

    In 2004 Pierre hit .380 in (non-sacrifice) bunt attempts. In 2005 he hit .431 when bunting for a hit. This is interesting stat: We know Dusty likes guys who can excute a bunt. The tall grass in the Wrigley field IF will only help Pierre. If by "help" you mean "hurt", I agree. Pierre hits ground balls. On the ground. In the grass. they will go slowly. Fielders will get them. they will not go through holes to the OF. He will be thrown out Cut the friggin' grass.

    but we're still taking the Muskat article as fact. Which is it? Seems more likely to me that Mitre IS included considering the sources saying that and only one source saying otherwise (Carrie Muskat...) Secondly... the Dave van Dyck article today said the Cubs have TWO offers on the table to TWO different teams... Does this not state that there is another team - not Florida nor TB - that we have an offer on the table to?? Where does it say it's not TB?

    No they were protected on the 40 man roster For future reference, players who are eligible for the Rule 5 draft cannot be traded (except as a PTBNL) between the time that minor league rosters are "frozen" (November 18th this year) and the Rule 5 draft (December 8th this year).

    I'm not sure I want Bradley now. I want a 30 HR 280/350 guy in right and I'm not sure Bradley fits that bill. That's only a .630 OPS! :wink: We had a funny guy like you in Korea. We killed him. :D Master of the house Doling out the charm Ready with a handshake And an open palm

    Keep an eye on Shawn Green, in a deal involving Patterson. I can confirm that such a thing has been discussed.

    We'll give the Red Sox Macias if they agree to pay all of Edgar's salary.

    I think the toughest part of the job (outside of getting the job) is the relationship building. You have to build relationships with GMs of other teams, with agents, and to an extent, with players. That ought to eliminate pretty much everyone here.
  12. JeffH
    How will that be different from every other day?
  13. JeffH
    Yes, but Corey will be slated to make more than Pierre so there's no incentive for the Marlins to take him. Nope. CP will make too much for the Marlins, but that statement is untrue.
  14. JeffH
    If Pierre is traded for the truly, truly awful Laynce Nix instead of for some Cubs minor league pitching, it will be a shame.

    Thursday. Nope. December 20th.

    No, this year will probably be Burnitz again... Well, we'll know tomorrow.

    What does Brownlie have to do with anything? He works around 87.
  18. JeffH
    What velocity a guy touches once or twice in an outing is largely irrelevant. Guzman works in the low 90s.
  19. JeffH
    That is a big problem to be sure but his velocity is still in the high 90's and his breaking balls are still biting. Ha!

    Forget Cabrera. Trade for Willis, then send Prior to the Reds for Dunn and Lopez.

    From Rotoworld: David Wells - S - Red Sox A source told the New York Daily News that David Wells would likely become a Dodger, not a Padre, today. USA Today's Bob Nightengale reported that the Red Sox could then trade catcher Doug Mirabelli to the Padres for Mark Loretta. Dec. 6 - 11:42 am et Source: New York Daily News

    Tejada makes less than Furcal. Unbelievable. But what would Tejada make if he was an FA today? It depends on whether the Dodgers would be bidding. :wink:

    Simply being on the team doesn't mean you bring value. Of course it does, unless you never get a hit or make a putout. It can be argued, quite easily actually, that Macias has brought negative value to the Cubs, seeing as how his production has been well below what a typical replacement player could bring, and his paycheck has been more than twice the minimum, which would be the cost of a replacement player. Didn't I just say that?
  24. JeffH
    We got far more value in Macias than we would have gotten from Wilton Chavez. It could be argued - and quite strongly - that the trade hurt us because we should have had someone better than Macias on the bench, but Macias has contributed more to the Cubs than Chavez ever would have.
  25. JeffH
    If the Cubs are trading Prior, it needs to be to the Reds for Adam Dunn and Felipe Lopez.
