    I was thinking that too...

    Not happening with the Cubs. He's played for three big-league managers and none of the three has been fond of him. His most recent manager was in the Cubs system as a coach. I'm sure they still talk. So no, he's not coming here. I used to like you, Bruce... then you made me cry.

    If the payroll is now $120M, they should be able to get him. If it's still in that $110-115M range, then it would seem they would need to dump 2 of the following 4 salaries for some margin: Dempster, Eyre, Jones and Izturis. For argument's sake, I am assuming Barrett and Howry are going nowhere. Phil Rogers hints that payroll might top $125M: ETA: Murphy on the Score says that all indications are that payroll will be $120M+. Serena, if I wasn't convinced every woman on the internet is actually a creepy old man in the real world, I'd kiss ya.

    They like Floyd, but they aren't in "heated talks." If they do sign him, it won't be right away. There is concern about the injury history. Gracias, mi amigo!

    Major props to myself for picking up Ryan Howard in the 14th round of my fantasy baseball draft. Congratulations Rob! :lol:

    Fearless Prediction: We sign Floyd to be a "bench" option. After Murton's first 0-8 slump, he gets platooned with Floyd for the rest of the year. Our lineup looks like this... RF - Soriano SS - Izturis 1B - Lee LF - Floyd 3B - Ramirez CF - Jones C - Barrett 2B - DeRosa When asked why Izturis is batting in the 2 hole, Piniella will proclaim we "need to break those rightys up, and Izturis knows how to lay down a bunt when we need one." Old Style stock goes through the roof.

    Hey, now you need to say something about how unlikely it is Hendry signs JD Drew.

    I am very interested to get Bruce's take on this.

    Schmidt for 20 games at 13 mil > Marquis for 60 games for free
  11. Rob
    Everything in the paper points to him playing CF. Everything coming out of Bruce Miles and Lou Piniella says he's in right field.
  12. Rob
    Reasoning?
  13. Rob
    We don't have 37 million left, we have 15-20 million. I wouldn't expect anything more for the offense through free agency except for one 4th outfielder. It looks like they are going after pitching now. I'm assuming the offense is done. On to the pitching. Are you kidding me? This offense is still only half baked. DeRosa, Izturis, and who in CF? All signs point to Jacque being traded. As of right now, we've got five guys with above average production for their positions in Lee, Aramis, Soriano, Barrett, and Murton... DeRosa is going to be slightly below average... Izturis is an offensive black hole... there's nobody in CF... and we have the pitcher's slot. I wouldn't exactly call us an offensive juggernaunt. We might not even end up being above average...
  14. Rob
    If the only difference between Izturis and Theriot were a walk per week, you might be right. But Izturis can't hit for average or moderate power either.... and Theriot does both. Theriot's advantage on offense blows Izturis's on defense away.

    It's like waking up from one of those crazy binge drinking nights and getting a call from your best friend. "I did what last night?!" This thread is ridiculous.
  16. Rob
    Alright fellas, I'm done. G'night chumps.

    If Bob Sanders was playing the Colts would have won. And if my aunt had balls, she'd be my uncle. What's your point? Why cant you people just leave me alone and let me be a sore loser (or sore person rooting for a team that lost)? I thought we were bonding. If we were doing that, you'd be your aunt. :wink: :lol:
  18. Rob
    I can't imagine that will be much longer.

    That is amazing.

    How dare you try to bring logic into this thread. anyway..... So what's your favorite planet? Mines the sun. It's like the KING OF PLANETS! We all know that the moon isn't in fact made out of blue cheese, but I'll ask you this. If the Moon were made outta barbecue spare ribs, WOUDYA EAT IT? I know i would. I'd go back for seconds and wash it down with an ice cold budweiser! 1997 was quite a year. a lot of stuff happened. some good, some bad. mother teresa died. that was bad, unless you hated mother teresa. I myself was not a fan of hers, don't ask why. we were like oil and water, we didn't mix You can mix oil and water. You've just got to shake it like a British nanny.

    I am slightly worried that this is the most fun I'll ever have due to this contract... but what the hell, it's a party!
  23. Rob
    I wonder how many of the 1500+ posts in this thread are mine... I wonder how many of the last 200 are about Soriano... I wonder why I care.

    So what's the dividing line between young and old? I'm 29, am I an old young guy, or an young old guy? Incidentally, the cutoff point is my birthday. How weird is that?
  25. Rob
    PrimeTime, I'm 22. Sorry... you're not even the oldest young guy. On a side note, I am now out of Crown Royal, and moving to a very old bottle of Stoli. Unfortunately, I have no mixers. This could get interesting.
