    Something needs to happen. I'm turning into a vegetable staring at my computer screen waiting for something to happen. Life is passing me by.

    Dubois was traded to the Indians for Jody Gerut. He may have ended up in Baltimore, but he definitely went to Cleveland from Chicago. Yeah, I'm just listing all the former Cub players that ended up with the Orioles. MacPhail likes his former Cubbies.

    Jon Leicester Francis Beltran

    Scott Moore Clay Rapada Luis Montanez Jason Dubois (I think)

    :shock: I might have to register there to warn them of the oncoming dangers! Maybe we need to trade them Jim Hendry, who is an expert on acquiring 2b's.

    What is this based on?
  7. BigbadB
    Considering some of the other deals with the Orioles, I think it's about high time they get the short end of the stick.

    Personally, I'm hoping the two players are Marquis and Cotts.

    Given that Inge has a pretty sizeable contract and everyone in the world knows they want to move Inge, chances are pretty good that whoever wants Inge won't have to give up much to get him.

    Rotoworld was speculating that it was EPatt & Hill or Felix Pie & Sean Marshall/Sean Gallagher Eww. I'd do Patterson and Marshall/Gallagher, but not Pie and certainly not Hill. Rotoworld is not all that great at speculating.

    Yes, if the Cubs thought DeRosa was a better SS, the ideal thing to have done would be to switch the two. Theriot does not have a major league arm to play SS. And what you don't see in the box score is the infield hit that got on because of Theriot's arm. They don't mark those as errors. But, whether Roberts or DeRosa booted a ball that Theriot might have gotten to, Theriot isn't necessarily the better SS considering the runners he allows to get on base that just aren't marked down as errors.

    Super sub. He really doesn't have a set position, he could play everywhere. He won't start, but he probably could still end up with 300 at bats. Wrong. A guy with a .380 OBP should be playing everyday. Period. 300 at bats isn't nearly enough, unless of course he had 300 at bats and 600 plate appearances. I feel the same way, but I made my post based on what I think will happen, not what I think should happen. If it was up to me, we would be trying to get a starting shortstop, not another starting second baseman. But, Cedeno is the only true SS on the team. Theriot is a 2b. His arm doesn't really have the range to be a true SS. So, if we are going to play a guy out of position, give me Brian Roberts at SS and Mark DeRosa at 2b. IIRC, Roberts is a historically bad fielding SS. DeRosa or Roberts, doesn't matter to me.

    If DeRosa was a better option than Theriot, they probably would have done that last year. My issue with this super utility thing I keep hearing is that there really isn't a place for a super utility player to play regularly if they get all the guys they are talking about getting. For example, if the Cubs go into 2008 with: Soto, Lee, Roberts, Theriot, Ramirez, Soriano, Pie and Fukudome, the only place DeRosa would sub regularly would probably be at SS. And if that's the case, I like DeRosa way more than Theriot, so let Theriot be the super sub and live with sub par defense at SS, whether that guy be DeRosa or Roberts.

    What does the rest of Roberts' contract look like?

    2b. I'd put Roberts at SS. Everyone else is playing out of position, so why not do the same with Roberts.
  18. BigbadB
    Well, let's hope it's Marshall if they are giving up 3 guys.
  19. BigbadB
    it's funny to me that cabrera was traded for a guy (miller) who's a year older Miguel Cabrera: 24 Andrew Miller: 22 Must be that "new" math I keep hearing about. :D :D
  20. BigbadB
    WTH? It's 5:34 in the midwest and I still haven't heard a thing. :D
  21. BigbadB
    I'm not convinced it's the Cubs, though they have treated Fukudome about the same way they treated Soriano last year in that they basically made it sound like no one would outbid them.
  22. BigbadB
    Haha. Good point. The Reds like relievers. Cotts and Marshall please.
  23. BigbadB
    Hey. What happened to the Swisher rumors and the Hamilton rumors and the Teahen rumors? All of a sudden we're back to adding more lousy back up 2b's?
  24. BigbadB
    Agreed. Heh. I wonder if Beane sending Bellhorn to Chicago was his way of attempting to show Hendry/MacPhail that there are other breeds of cats worthy of some love? Mark Bellhorn, still to this day is the best lead off hitter the Cubs have had in the 2000's, and other decades as well. I liked Kenny Lofton. Don't get me wrong, Bruce. I liked Kenny Lofton, too. Lofton leading off for the Cubs in 2003: .297 .354 .452 Bellorn leading off for the Cubs in 2002: .274 .389 .542 Bellhorn wins in a landslide. Of course, Lofton has always been a great lead off hitter, and Bellhorn, well, not so much.
  25. BigbadB
    Another glaring reason we need a new GM. Bradley had an OBP over .400 and an SLG over .500 playing in the worst hitter's park in MLB. Put this guy in the NL Central and watch him go.
