    Why is everybody surprised Edmonds is batting 6th? He got a hit last night... we need to ride his bat while it's hot.

    Keep Wood exactly where he is. Move Marmol to the rotation. Cut Marquis. Win.

    This game has not been pretty. I am shocked we are winning right now.

    With Juan Pierre at the plate, I wouldn't hesitate to underhand-lob it to the plate if that's what it took to get a strike... Instead, we get a walk and a stolen base.

    Jim Edmonds for Andy Marte.

    The Cubs have outscored the Pirates 81-41 so far for the season series.

    I got offered Ryan Ludwick and Johnny Cueto for Alfonso Soriano. I know Ludwick is on a tear and all, but Sori is worth a lot more than that.

    I'd be real interested in seeing what Cole could do for the Cubs. There's no denying the kid has electric stuff.

    And my injury-decimated fantasy team rejoices.

    Geovany Soto

    Rob replied to David's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk

    I hope Vitters proves them right, despite Soto maintaining this level of performance.

    2 years, 5 mil... if I'm remembering correctly.

    Hill and Pie is a given. Once we agree on that, they start asking for more of our top prospects... depending on when we ask, they're probably looking at two of Vitters, Colvin, Veal, and Ceda.

    Dempster

    Rob replied to WindyCity's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk

    The defense behind him, more than anything else. He's only allowed something like 33 hits in 57.1 IP.
  14. Rob
    So who comes off the 40 man for the Hoff? DFA Pie? Murton? Ascanio? Hill?

    I hate this line of thinking. "Well, the Cubs were making one mistake anyways... at least they're almost covering for it, maybe." I couldn't care less about Edmonds. What I care about is the Cubs screwing up Pie because they have no patience with younger players.

    I'm just glad that I wont be able to watch the game tonight to hear Len and Bob talk about what a wonderful signing it is.
  17. Rob
    I honestly have no idea how I'm going to handle the situation. I think I'll probably just see how I feel when it actually happens.

    As I understand it he's cleared waivers therefore, no team has put in a claim meaning all Hendry has to offer is the league minimum. just because he CAN offer league minimum, doesn't mean he WILL. The teams didn't pass on Edmonds, they passed on him at his current salary. THe OP is saying that Hendry is thinking that SURELY a lot of other teams are interested in him at a reduced rate, so Hendry will outbid himself. Any money paid to Edmonds is deducted from his salary as a Padre. Jim Edmonds will make 8M this season no matter if he plays in Chicago, Tampa, Gary, or he goes home and sits on his ass. There is no reason for any team to voluntarily pay more money to get Edmonds because it's only going to benefit the Padres, not Edmonds. There's also no reason for the Cubs to have any interest in Edmonds. But Edmonds would be a free agent and Jim has big against himself for more than his fair share of mediocre veteran free agents. Hendry would have to offer in excess of what is left on Edmonds salary in order for Edmonds to get any more money. If Hendry were willing to offer in excess of what was left on that contract, he would have just grabbed him off waivers and been responsible for the contract. The mere fact that he's waited says that we'd only be responsible for the minimum.

    The good news? Wrigley has brick walls.
  20. Rob
    That was probably a good idea.
  21. Rob
    If we can get one runner on, Sori will come up to bat next inning. It's not over just yet.

    theriot the last 28 days: .370/.452/.480/.932 yeah, that's a guy you want bunting. why not bunt with lee and ramirez in similar situations, whille you're at it? As I said before, different situations for different management. No, I wouldn't bunt with Lee or Ramirez. Would I for Theriot in the right sitation (to get Lee, Ramirez and Fukudome possibly runners in scoring position when playing for 1 run to extend a possible weather delay) - yes? Theriot sucks, he still can't hit, sample size....."yeah, tha'ts a guy you want bunting." So, now he's good then? Which one is it? Wrong guy for this argument. What, is he going to climb out of my computer and beat me up or call me a name? No. It's just that he's been the one guy on the board defending Theriot in every single thread.

    This guy is still in the bloody booth?
  24. Rob
    I have to put it on mute.

    Meredith has allowed a .566 OPS vs. RHB in his career and a .760 OPS against lefties. Johnson has a .708 OPS vs. RHP in his career and a .823 OPS vs. lefties. So what we were looking at is a right handed hitter who is terrible against right handers... a right handed pitcher who shuts down right handers... and Lou successfully manages to not put Pie in again. It's like an Olympic event for him.
