  1. Cubs website says 60 day on the 40-man roster page. Look again.
  2. BTW, I didn't realize Greenberg was on the 60-day DL. I don't think so. Where'd you get that?
  3. http://chicago.cubs.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/news/press_releases/press_release.jsp?ymd=20050719&content_id=1136875&vkey=pr_chc&fext=.jsp&c_id=chc
  4. My guess is that Gerut is the LH half of the platoon now and Holly is the first LH bat off the bench. Hollandsworth in June: .360/.372/.547/.918 Hollandsworth so far in July: .306/.366/.528/.894 Nope. Gerut takes his rightful place as a part-time starter in CF and the primary LH PH.
  5. Grieve and Gerut are almost the same player? OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-KAY...
  6. According to a well-placed source. Details to follow.
  7. Adams had better command and was a lot steadier whereas Farnsworth has been either dominant or horrible. Terry Adams had better command than Kyle Farnsworth? OK... Adams had some of the worst command of the fastball I've ever seen.
  8. Palmeiro's a no-doubt HOFer. Andre Dawson? We can begin talking about him after the extremely underrated and underappreciated Tim Raines is inducted.
  9. Terry Adams. Traded to the Dodgers in the deal for "Blisters" Valdez and EY.
  10. Could someone change the title of the thread?
  11. He's still suffering the effects of the concussion, evidently. Grieve was the only rostered OF eligible to come up.
  12. According to WSCR. Second-hand information.
  13. If Dunn ever decides that a .280/.430/.600/.980(which I can see him doing with the proper motivation) I'll bet you a trillion dollars Dunn never puts up that line, my arithmetically challenged friend.
  14. No raise for Maddux next year. A raise for Prior depends on whether he's eligible to opt out of his contract and go to arbitration or if that was a one-time opportunity that he missed out on last year.
  15. Leiter is an excellent color man on baseball broadcasts. Based on his recent pitching, he should pursue that full-time starting now.
  16. i'm so tired of this utterly ridiculous argument. right now i would trade pie for him. i don't think there's a player on the cubs that i wouldn't trade for dunn. dunn is one of the most underrated players in the game Dunn is an extremely valuable offensive player. No argument there. He is, at the same time, quite overrated in many circles. Despite the rantings of saber types everywhere, batting average counts. There's a reason we used to say "a walk's as good as a hit" when the pathetic kid came up to bat. A walk is generally not as good as a hit. Sure, making the pitcher throw additional pitches is helpful. Dunn doesn't hit for a good average and he is traditionally even worse in that regard with runners on base. I'd like to see Dunn in LF for the Cubs, batting second. I do think it's "utterly ridiculous" that you would seemingly trade Prior or Zambrano for Dunn.
  17. On the off chance that the Cubs were to acquire Dunn, I would love to see him hitting second. I fear, however, that they would hit him fourth.
  18. Hoops, where did you get the $4.13 figure for Barrett? I never saw that breakdown published anywhere. I assume that's $2.8-$3.8-$4.4 with a $1 signing bonus spread out over the three seasons.
  19. I don't understand the surprise expressed in Patterson clearing waivers. Right now, he's one of the worst players in MLB. Any team claiming him would, unless the Cubs pulled him back, have to pay the remainder of his 2005 salary (~$1.4) and place him on their active 25-man roster. It's not like some team could claim him then send him to the minors.
