Because of the rising sun flag? I always associated that version of the flag with war/nationalism so that's the first thing I noticed when I saw the ad. I'm just kidding, I'm not Japanse American...but the "I don't need an interpreter" phrase? What is that supposed to mean? Japanese people are not capable of learning English? Racists. Well, at least none of them will ever find out we're being so racist.

Who was ever suggesting just Cedeno as the main piece of the trade? I should rephrase my position. The Padres are a contending team with a weak offense. Their starting shortstop would likely be Cedeno if Greene gets traded to the Cubs. I don't think they want to open the season with him any more than we do. I would love to start the season with Cedeno as our starting SS. He'd be a huge upgrade over what we've got. -
sure +1 please Chisel mine onto a big clay tablet, will ya?
-
He's not Ryan Theriot.
-
That would imply the Padres were actually wanted to trade Greene. True, it's a jump, but given hi refusal to extend his contract and their desire for Murton, it does beg the question. Obviously, Murton wouldn't get the deal done alone. Maybe throw in Patterson and Cedeno as well? I'd let em have Theriot if they wanted him instead of Cedeno. And I would probably give up Gallagher too.
-
Murton + Theriot or Cedeno + any other spare part = Greene?
-
I would be upset if we gave up anything likely to even play in the majors for Byrd. Let alone good players like Murton or Gallagher...
-
Really? Wishing injury? To be fair, getting Ronny in over Theriot would project to improve the team by a few wins over the course of a season. Theriot seems like a real nice guy and all, but the least he could do is take one disabling injury for the team. unless ronny hits like he did in 2006, in which case you'd lose more games with him in the lineup. Except that he's not projected to do that at all, is he?

I was about to suggest that we put this in the Rivalries forum. I think they've taken over as the team to beat in missouri. -
Nope. I missed the above post.

Tris Speaker?

I know how painful that can be... I'd sooner wish the physical pain upon him.

Interesting... And yeah, that draft looks like exactly the sort of thing I typically avoid. I think the only pitcher I've grabbed inside the first five rounds of a draft in the last few years was Jake Peavy.

How did you come up with the best fit numbers for your specific team?

Baka.

One of the guys is right.

I wouldn't give up Hill for Bedard, straight up.
-
That wouldn't be fair. I always win those.

Cubs Top Prospect Lists (BA top 30, Sickels top 21, BP - 11)
Rob replied to tspain's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
I always think Aramis Ramirez. High average, high power, lack of plate discipline. -
He'll be a free agent in two years. We shouldn't need to trade for him.
-
I know this one, but that's because I had already been asked this as a trivia question.
-
They busted that hours ago, I believe.
