  1. Bruce, is the supposed interest in McLouth genuine? If so, as a fallback to Kosuke or just as an extra guy? Who might they be looking at to satisfy the LHH infielder fetish? Any interest in Felipe Lopez?
  2. I'd rather just keep Teahen over McLouth. Well, of course. I wasn't suggesting a course of action.
  3. I wonder if Hendry is trying to get Teahen as a 3B for the Pirates and come out of the exchange with McLouth. The Pirates wanted to get Headley from the Padres for Nady and McLouth. Teahen to the Pirates. McLouth to the Cubs. Murton to the Royals. Balance as necessary.
  4. I imagine it would take more than Murton to get Teahen. Eric Patterson? A reliever like Petrick or Roquet?
  5. There is zero chance that the Cubs can get Nate McLouth for Neal Cotts. Not 0.00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001%. Zero.
  6. My prediction: Murton will go in a deal for McLouth. NSBB will explode.
  7. That is odd. :?: :?: :?: :?: :?:
  8. Plausible scenario? Cubs get Hamilton or McLouth to play CF until Colvin is ready. Cubs use Pie to get Brian Roberts.
  9. That's a nice little deal for KW. Burke is at least as good as...oh, I don't know...Kaz Matsui. "Kaz Matsui" - Japanese for "Chris Burke" - Houston sports radio
  10. It's been fashionable to consider Neal Cotts a definite non-tender, but, given the market for pitching, I won't be surprised if the Cubs offer him a contract.
  11. Wait until we find out that Punch Drunk included a couple million in cash...
  12. Agreed. The 3-way deal where we end up with Randy Winn is better, IMO.
  13. Hamilton really needs to get out of the Reds organization. Dusty would probably have him over to the house to listen to new age music and burn some "incense".
  14. Two separate transactions, obviously. Although, if Beane liked a prospect or two on some team interested in Prior, that could help.
  15. The Cubs are having all sorts of trade discussions involving Mark Prior. The Rangers and Padres are said to be two interested parties. Of course the Cubs still have Kosuke Fukudome in their sights. But they also have their eye on Oakland's Nick Swisher and Arizona's Orlando Hudson. Both are switch-hitters, by the way. http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2007/12/levines-latest.html
  16. Someone go kidnap Jim Hendry and impersonate him and actually make good moves. To pull off the disguise, you'll need one of these: http://www.dumbanddumbercostumes.com/2nd_blue_tuxedo.html
  17. Actually, they gave up the creator of The X-Files.
  18. While we're thinking along these lines, life would also be easier if Murton played shortstop.
  19. Chone is a tough guy to figure out how much you should trade for him. There's a decent chance you'll be able to get a sammich pick for him next offseason, but it's not a sure thing, especially if you use him in less-than-fulltime duty.
  20. Hendry's not smart enough to trade a couple of good but not great prospects for Fuentes.
  21. If the Cubs could manage to assemble a good offense for a change, Dempster/Marquis/Marshall/Gallagher/Hart could be a very successful back end of the rotation. Sadly, Jim Hendry knows very little about putting together a legitimate MLB offense.
