It was only a matter of time before this trade rumor returned. Boston is ready to go with Ellsbury full time, and Crisp's value is next to nil at this point. Yet, that won't stop Hendry from getting into a bidding war with himself and way overpaying. Considering Crisp's contract, his production level, injury concerns and his rank on the current depth chart, a fair offer would be Josh Kroeger and NOTHING more. Also, anyone see how crappy Marlon Byrd has been playing. Look out, Texas might lower their demands to "just" Matt Murton and Hendry will feel like he got himself a pretty good deal. :roll: -
I don't know who it was, but in one of the NSBB leagues last year, someone would always try and makes trades like that, and when they would get rejected, they'd drop the players he tried to trade. It's like he was planning on dropping them all along but decided to put them out there and see if anyone was dumb enough to bite. And they would always play the hot hand and pick up whoever had a good game and drop whoever had a bad one. In the end they made like 120+ transactions. The trade offer above was made right before my team was scheduled to play his team. My team is beating his team 16-3 as of today. :D

You beat me to it. -
NC loves his Wang. :thumbsup: No, I love abuck's Wang. :lol: :shock:
-
There will be no cursing of my pitchers by anyone but me. [-X Not that I was counting on a two hitter by Germano, anyway.
-
Matt Murton= red headed stepping stone

I've become so turned off by the free leagues anymore, I probably won't play in anymore after this year. Here is a trade offer that was sent to me yesterday: JR Towles BJ Ryan Ted Lilly Johnny Gomes Aaron Rowand for Kosuke Fukudome Johnny Cueto Geovany Soto George Sherrill Why bother wasting my time with crap like that?
-
Depending on the severity of Soriano's injury coupled with Pie's inability thus far to adapt to major league pitching (Lou and Jim's views), I'm even more convinced that the Cubs will now overpay for Coco Crisp.
-
Hey Juan. Did you know about Ryan Braun's shoulder injury? Nevermind. CBS says he'll be back today.
-
Damn you, Randy Wolf. His excellent start has me in a bit of a dilemma. Do I start Justin Germano or bench him. Surely, Colorado won't get 2 hit again today.
-
Its only Tuesday and your already making excuses ;-). You just lost Bedard for the week.
-
What a hopping good time we're having tonight!
-
Neifi's ended a game, man. it ended a game. Point well taken. But, has Theriot been up with 2 outs in the 9th and runners on base this year? If not, then let's just wait and see if Theriot can match Neifi's historic credentials.
-
Theriot: "Neifi was a great player" I think Theriot is on his way to being an even greater player than Neifi. Theriot has already matched Neifi in 2 out bunts that end an inning.

Have you forgotten that Dusty Baker is still a manager of a major league baseball team? :wink:

Have you forgotten that Dusty Baker is still a manager of a major league baseball team? As long as he's managing, that record will always be a threat to be broken. :D

Done a decent job of it so far, He's walked 5 in 10.1 innings. Yeah, that's not good enough. But, neither is saying he's done a decent job so far with just 10.1 innings to draw conclusions from.
-
Yeah, I remember Oscar. Welcome to my poop list. :wink:
-
I'm pretty pleased with the points Randy Johnson put up this week, but it was against San Francisco, so I won't get too excited just yet.
-
Boo! You know mine is the best offer you'll get. (gotta find a smiley for jedi mind tricks) Looks like no deal is going to get done today for Haren. :( I made offers for Haren or Atkins a few hours ago. Check your PM's.
-
Braun would still have "rookie" status this year. :wink:
-
Should we blame Jim Riggelman instead?

Sabremetrics vs. Intangibles: Which do you value more?
BigbadB replied to chuckywang's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Further proof that this organization needs to learn how to develop talent on the farm. Everyone is "trading" for this younger and better player rather than promoting him from the minors. In a perfect world, the hypothetical question would ask if you would trade for the veteran or promote the more talented, younger player from your own farm system. Cubs fans have gone so long without decent position prospects that it isn't even thought of in a hypothetical question. To answer the question, I promote Geovany Soto rather than trade for Jason Kendall. What do I win? -
There isn't much to pick up. I traded away my 7th start (Matt Cain) and added Justin Germano. I'm really scared about Justin Germano against Colorado. I'm not convinced that I'll leave Germano in the line up. If the Santa Ana's continue into Wednesday here in SoCal, count on me only getting 6 starts this week. Also, the rather brittle Randy Johnson is my only two start guy this week. I can't expect too many innings and his 2nd start could be pushed to next week due to an off day, so hopefully he shuts down those hot San Francisco bats tonight and keeps me at a pace to potentially get 7 starts.

Encarnacion is on the block. What do you want to give me for him?
