    Do you value Mr. BB himself Carlos Marmol anywhere near Hill? Hill is ready to go NOW. Marmol has great stuff but is still a year or two away IMO. Strangely enough I put Mateo over Marmol RIGHT NOW. Hill > Veal > Gallagher > Pawelek > Guzman > Marshall > Marmol > Ryu > Mateo

    Great idea, but don't you think Novoa should be used to acquire someone like ARod or Tejada? I'd trade him for a quarter-pint of jack daniels. Sadly, I doubt you could get that much. Surely there's some poor sap out there who paid good money for his jersey... perhaps he'd like to get the real thing to do his laundry for him.

    I'm hoping he's really looking at Church, and not just trying to bring down Lofton's pricetag.

    OH, don't you bring your negative vibes in here, mandinga!! :wink: I wonder what Z wouild get on a free agent market like this. Depends. Is he gonna be a SP or a DH?
  6. Rob
    I'd do Marmol for Church inside of a heartbeat. Guzman, I'm not so sure about.
  7. Rob
    Schmidt, Soriano and Church would keep me from getting too angry. Agreed. Also, cutting Izturis and putting Theriot as the starting SS would go a long ways.
  8. Rob
    Matsuzaka, Drew, and Lugo... The Red Sox have gotten everybody I really wanted off the free agent market this season, aside from Aramis.
  9. Rob
    I'd be shocked if Manny would agree to be traded to Canada. :D But, anything to get Seattle out of the Schmidtstakes. Agreed. If they're out, I'd feel really good about our chances of getting him. While we're at it, here's praying Luis Gonzalez signs with the Dodgers.

    Jason Whitlock was an extremely horrible reporter who used to write for Page 2 on ESPN.com. He's basically a fatter version of Scoop Jackson.

    are you sure its a dog? Fairly sure. I wont know til I get the chance to autopsy it.
  12. Rob
    Yeah, I wish my dog were reliable. Darn thing hasn't even used the bathroom in two days because of the weather.
  13. Rob
    Whitlock is about as reliable as my dog.
  14. Rob
    I'm feeling the pain.

    4/40 for a 4.36 ERA in 1st year of the deal? Awesome, what a bargain! feel free to share your ideas for what the cubs should do. They could've NOT tried to do a worst-to-first overnight rebuilding job in the least favorable market in the history of pro sports. I've yet to see anybody of Hampton's caliber get 100+ mil this offseason.

    Lord God, bring thy Church to me.
  17. Rob
    I think he's contemplating retirement right now, IIRC.

    Not a peep. This is a disturbingly silent year for the Winter Meetings...
  19. Rob
    That's what happens when you have just under 30% of your starts over the last three years come against the Yankees and the Red Sox. Yeah, his ERA was predicted to drop down to 4.65 if he was just playing for the Yankees... as he wouldn't have to face their lineup. http://www.baseballprospectus.com/unfiltered/ I'm not sure if that's premium content or not...

    Floyd really doesn't have much in the way of value any longer. If I were Kenny I'd throw in Crede to try and get Hamels. won't work, hamels is untouchable I doubt untouchable is the word. Ryan Sweeney, Crede, Vasquez and Garcia would probably get Hamels and Rowand. That'd be a steal for the sox. Hamels can deal it. I know. I love me some Hamels. Although, Gillick has unexplainable love and hate for certain players. I kinda hope he hates Hamels as he hated Abreu and Burrell... so maybe that's clouding my judgement. It's just as likely he's absolutely in love with him and wouldn't give him up for Cabrera.

    Z/Schmidt/Hill/Lilly/Miller-Prior That's a rotation I could be happy with. Now go get a SS and a CF Hendry. I don't like the idea of pitching your left-handed starters back to back. Specially considering Lilly and Hill have a similar style of pitching. Zambrano Schmidt Lilly Miller/Prior Hill That is how I would set the rotation. I'd be fine adjusting to that rotation after a while, but not to start off the season. In April and May when we get to skip the 5th starter on occassion I'd rather give Miller or Prior the time off than keep Hill off the mound.

    Darin Erstad would be a great addition to the team! He could replace Darren Baker as the sometimes-batboy.
