    Player options, of course.
  3. JeffH
    The Cubs are really, really dumb.

    You could fit Drew and Soriano both under $120 with Heilman and Westbrook being your pitching additions, as long as you were able to move Jacque. Soriano-Murton-Drew-Lee-Ramirez-Barrett-DeRosa-Izturis Zambrano-Hill-Westbrook-Heilman-Pick 'em
  5. JeffH
    No, no we couldn't. I disagree. I think we could. What happened to Rich Hill?
  6. JeffH
    A huge key would be trading for Aaron Heilman without giving up Matt Murton. With Heilman in the rotation for dirt cheap, you could fit both. Of course, Hendry will get neither.
  7. JeffH
    For Wells, the Blue Jays could have any three pitchers in the organization not named Zambrano or Hill. I would also trade Barrett for him, although I would prefer not to.
  8. JeffH
    Sign Drew. Trade for Wells.
  9. JeffH
    Westbrook's profile is much more groundball and anti-HR than Marquis'. Given 100 chances to choose between the two, I would choose Westbrook 100 times. That said, I wouldn't trade Murton for him. But, if we're talking about some subset of Wuertz, Ohman, Novoa, Cedeno, Marshall, Guzman, Mateo, Moore, Patterson, Gallagher, then I'm all for it.
  10. JeffH
    Marquis is a pretty poor comparison with Westbrook. Westbrook's profile is extreme anti-HR. Marquis is a HR factory. Hitting home runs is an extremely efficient way to score runs. Preventing the opposition from hitting them is good - very good.
  11. JeffH
    The Rotoworld people are ridiculous. There's nothing in the Sun-Times article they reference about the Indians not liking Cedeno or Murton possibly being used to get Westbook.
  12. JeffH
    Soto has the chance to not be terrible at the plate in the same way that I have a chance to win the lottery or sleep with Bridget Fonda. Theoretically possible, but very, very, very, very unlikely. That said, the Blanco contract is ridiculous.
  13. JeffH
    First of all, I'm with Serena. Secondly, no one has ever addressed my point that the old CBA says that if Ramirez were to sign after the deadline via the arbitration process, that wouldn't count against the Cubs' quota. If that doesn't count, why should a pre-arb agreement?
  14. JeffH
    I pray to heaven that Jim Hendry doesn't think like this. Isn't this why we signed Neifi last winter - to grease the skids with Kinzer on Furcal? That worked brilliantly.
  15. JeffH
    Well, we've seen two completely dreadful bodies of work. How many chances does he get before we conclude that he's incapable of assembling a worthwhile baseball team?
  16. JeffH
    I see you there, Bruce! Anything to share?
  17. JeffH
    Blanco will make $2.15 next season - $1.4 in salary and a $0.75 signing bonus, which will likely be paid all at once and be counted against this year's payroll.
  18. JeffH
    Unfortunately, he is a much worse bet to be worth his salary. Why does it matter? The Cubs aren't some small market team. 3 million dollars isn't hurting our payroll much. It's wasted money that could otherwise be spent on a good baseball player. Despite not being a small market team, there is some limit to how much money the Cubs have. Wasting money is wasting money. Why is that so hard to understand?

    Unfortunately, he is a much worse bet to be worth his salary.
  20. JeffH
    $380K is the new minimum.
  21. JeffH
    The awful Jim Hendry asleep at the wheel once again.
  22. JeffH
    If $56/4 gets Drew to sign today, Dimwit should take a moment away from signing garbage to get that done.
  23. JeffH
    In the old CBA, there was no differentiation.
  24. JeffH
    Those stats reflect him as a reliever. He might use more pitches as a starter. Most relievers get by with 2 good pitches. Sure...but it would seem to discount the changeup as a good pitch. I wouldn't think he scrap his best out pitch (which is how some posts have described his changeup) just because he's coming out of the pen. If it's effective at all, seems like he'd use it. Except that a lefty change-up is generally less effective on a lefty hitter than the hard stuff (see Remlinger, Mike).
  25. JeffH
    Actually, he held LHH to a .318 OBA last season. The 5 HR (and 6 other EBH) in 99 AB is what killed him. That looks fluky.
