I don't think so actually. The Cubs would have a huge power void in the lineup without Soriano. And while it's not ideal to have him on a rebuilding team, it's less ideal to trade him for nothing and still pay him to play for another team. The power/production isn't likely to be replaced by anyone the Cubs can reasonably sign or trade for this offseason, so Soriano does have a clear purpose on this team. I agree. I can't believe how much my opinion of Soriano has changed over the past year, but at this point I see absolutely no reason to dump him. Unless he is clearly blocking someone, which he isn't, then the Cubs might as well keep him as their starting Left Fielder. If he can put similar numbers up next year, he should have even greater trade value at the deadline with only the 1 year remaining on his contract. -
These call-ups makes the Cubs much more interesting for the rest of the year, but if the they were really high on Vitters I don't see the point in mixing and matching him against certain pitchers. That makes me think they aren't high on him at all and the offseason trade scenario may be likely.

So much for my plans to take a trip down to Peoria before the end of the season.

Did you like when it was blatantly obvious the jumbotron told them to get loud? How else are the 200 fans at the game going to know when to cheer?
-
I know the Cubs have done a great job with defensive positioning this year, but that has to be slightly annoying for a pitcher when he gets what apparently is a routine ground out to second base and it becomes a double.

Fire whoever put up the Star Wars graphic please.

Look at all the empty seats. Pathetic...

Is he trying to say that the amount of money we're paying makes the prospect return a virtual wash? If so, 1) way to write English for a living and 2) noooooooope. I understood his statement as a "virtual wash" in salaries, meaning that it has virtually no impact on each team's payroll, but if the Rangers are paying Dempster's salary there is no way that can be the case. I fail to understand his math.

Am I the only one this doesn't make sense to?

Dammit. I didn't know Tuffy Gosewisch was for sale.

Sounds like a plug-in issue on your end. I just pulled up Iowa's gameday without issue. You were right. Parts of the website were actually getting blocked by the Adblock Plus extension that I had installed a few weeks ago. -

Is anyone else having trouble with the MiLB website? I can't get any gamecasts or broadcasts to show up. -
What is Jamie Moyer up to these days? He couldn't be any worse than what the Cubs are going to run out as a 5th starter for the rest of the year.
-
With all this talk of Vitters vs. Villanueva at 3B, does it really matter if Baez projects as a third baseman?
-
Agreed on the thread titles.
-
Theo and Jed have found the new market inefficiency.
-
oh, he'll come back, there's no doubt. the question is what will he have? A new ligament.
-
Wasn't he the FB on Friday Night Lights?
-
One of these things is not like the others.
-
Nonsense. Get back to work Jed!
-
Supposedly the Cubs had multiple offers for Johnson, so he was going to get them "something".
-
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but who is going to replace Reed Johnson as our emergency pitcher?
-
Excellent.
-
Could it be that Brett Jackson is being used as a chip to try to bring a better return for Dempster or Garza? Wouldn't mind it at all if we could get a good pitcher back in return. I've lost almost all hope in Jackson. Then what does our outfield look like next year, and please don't say the same as it does now. The Cubs have the whole offseason to figure that out. I don't think Jackson is going to make or break the outfield at this point.
