    Or, they could try to do a Hudson/Giles package and give the CF job to Soriano. DeRosa could play RF to start the season and then slowly groom Pie into the spot in a platoon if or when he's ready.
  2. BigbadB
    I thought the Kerry Wood and Wade Miller signings were reasonable.

    Not sure how Dempster makes sense for the Dodgers. He makes more than Broxton and Saito combined, and both are probably better at their jobs. One thing Colletti is good at is sticking it to the Cubs. Nomar, Lofton, Furcal, Milton Bradley and Greg Maddux. If the Cubs want Penny, I imagine they'll be asking for Gallagher and Veal.

    The White Sox are very interested in Rocco Baldelli. But, not enough to give up McCarthy for him. Maybe Floyd and Gonzalez will be part of a separate trade to get Baldelli?

    Take a look at his 2005 and 2006 seasons. Contrary to popular belief, Cub fans do give up on promising prospects. Bobby Brownlie rarely gets mentioned anymore. There comes a point when a guy just doesn't appear to be worth it anymore. Floyd gave up 14 HR's in 54 innings. Not good.
  6. BigbadB
    Wow! The White Sox surely could have gotten more for Garcia than that. Maybe they just forgot to list Rowand as part of the deal.
  7. BigbadB
    I think it knocks Floyd out of the picture. They still need a CF and someone who can back up in CF, which is probably Pagan. They could use a back up corner infielder as well. I see no reason for Cedeno to have a roster spot next year, which leaves Theriot as the only middle infield back up for the time being.
  8. BigbadB
    No reason to move Miller to the pen. They already have a plethora of arms there now as it is. Wood Dempster Eyre Howry Cotts Ohman Wuertz Novoa all the kids and still quite possibly Glendon Rusch.

    I think I read that injuries have dropped his fastball from 96-98 down to 94, but he has a really good breaking ball to go with it. I think they believe he just hasn't put it altogether yet. Of course, I think if he hasn't put it together by now, why should we believe he will later, especially locked into a long term deal?
  10. BigbadB
    I think he is. I don't understand why they didn't give him some time in CF last year. I'd actually like to see Pagan back for another year. Wish he got more playing time during the winter leagues.
  11. BigbadB
    I'm still curious whether Pagan is in the plans for next year.
  12. BigbadB
    Well, even though I think Baltimore owes us big time for past trades, I'm not really expecting much for Bynum.
  13. BigbadB
    I don't know who I rate higher, Marshall or Lilly. Probably Lilly at this point.

    I pray Prior and Miller come to ST healthy, Guzman wins the 5th starter job and we then have a 10m Glendon Rusch sitting on the end of the bench. If Prior and Miller come healthy, you have 5 starters without Guzman. If Lilly is the 10m Glendon Rusch sitting on the end of the bench and Zambrano, Prior, Miller, Hill, Guzman are the other starters, who am I leaving out? LILLY Then I guess you missed what I was praying for. I hope Prior, Miller and Guzman all beat Lilly out of a job, because when healthy, I believe they are all better pitchers than Lilly.

    I know you are a mod, but you really aren't funny. Thanks to you also for setting me straight.

    Thanks for the 3rd grade comment! Thanks for not getting a joke. A previous post already said he would be okay. Classy bro, classy! Someone in the hospital is no joke! It is as simple as that! Thanks for setting me straight.

    Too much cotton candy and merry-go-round. Just what I thought.

    Maddux was very susceptble to the long ball, which would have a big impact on his ERA moving to such a pitcher's park.
  22. BigbadB
    The going rate for a league average pitcher is about $10 million. But I'm with you in that I don't think he's going to be a dominant next year. Dodger Stadium has historically been a pitcher's park, but it actually played as a hitter's park last year. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/stats/parkfactor Note that PECOTA projects him to have a 4.13 ERA next year as a Dodger. isnt there something like a day/night thing there?...where its more of a pitchers park at night compared to the day because the ball carries more during the day then the night. Yes. Which also includes the first part of all night games, where it's still light out. The marine layer usually starts rolling in a bit before dusk.

    LaRouche for Gonzalez? Good move for both teams. Braves get their closer (with a nice set up man in Soriano) and the Pirates get a young first baseman to help protect Jason Bay. But don't look know but...the Pirates have Bay/Castillo/Sanchez/Paulino, and if the Gonzalez for LaRouche deal happens, the Pirates are building a very nice young stable of hitters. Don't forget Bautista and Nady.
  24. BigbadB
    They might as well give us one of them young punks in their outfield too if they are going to totally block them all. :D
  25. BigbadB
    Can I put that in my sig as a reminder? :D He's going to be pitching in the pitching friendliest division in baseball, and now half of his games in one of the toughest parks to hit in. I think he'll do quite well. Maddux had an ERA+ of 99 with the Cubs He then got an ERA+ of 139 with the Dodgers Did he all of a sudden become a better pitcher, or did park factors factor in? Schmidt will be very good in LA. Maddux, however, might be even better in Petco.
