Izturis, Jones, and Eyre to PHL for Burrell. Gillick gives us the difference in Burrell's salary for next year so that the $$ washes.

Uh oh......Latest from Rosenthal ... The Marlins could be on the verge of acquiring Jacque Jones to be their regular center fielder. Jones, 31, has been traded, according to the Ft. Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel, but the deal has hit a "major snag," a major-league source told FOXSports.com. As of 6:20 p.m. ET, the Cubs had yet to inform Jones that he had been dealt, another source said. The snag likely involves money — Jones is earning $4 million this season and $5 million next season. The low-revenue Marlins almost certainly would require the high-revenue Cubs to pay the majority of Jones' remaining salary as part of the deal. Any transaction involving more than $1 million requires the approval of the commissioner's office. The quality of the player the Cubs would acquire for Jones would almost certainly hinge on the amount of money they would pay the Marlins.

Rotoworld has it up now.... The Marlins have acquired Jacque Jones from the Cubs, according to the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. No word yet on what the Marlins got back, but it won't be much. The Cubs are likely covering a large portion of the roughly $9 million Jones is owed through 2008. It's still a nice pickup for Florida. Jones isn't a great defender in center, but he can handle the position and he will start hitting. To pick up such a solid stopgap at what is almost surely very little cost is a nice feat for GM Larry Beinfest. Jun. 26 - 5:53 pm et Source: South Florida Sun-Sentinel

I'm sure there are a few knuckleheads in our system that MacPhail is in love with. Dopirak, Harvey, and Luke Hagerty for Tejada? :lol: Doesn't the OPS drop (100 pts) YTD vs previous two years norms and the fact that he's owed $31MM over the next two season's bother anyone? I'm just not sure the cost that it would take to acquire him at this stage of his career would be a wise move to make.

6/15 Padres (Wells) v. CUBS (Lilly) WGN 1:20 CST
Tedward replied to IWU_CUBS_FAN's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
Hate Hendry for signing him. -
My gameday says 1 out. Correct. My bad.
-
Not good. Two on no one out.
-
Braun hit a leadoff triple and was knocked in (not sure who).
-
Nice job by Izturis getting Hill over to 3B.... :roll:
-
He was a top 10 pick before the season started, and he struggled a bit this season. Reportedly his velocity was back way up in his last start.
-
It'll be interesting to see what the Cards do. Callis had them taking LaPorta in his last minute mock. Does Brackman go here?
-
i'm hearing Porcello won't fall below the Rangers from some friends I know over in Texas. Which pick, # 17 or # 24?
-
Moustakas teamate Matt Dominguez (3B) to the Marlins at #12
-
Same here. Looking at the long term major leagues, Barrett is deteriorating and Aramis Ramirez is a keeper at 3B. Is there a possibility Vitters came can change positions, at all? SS? OF? Should've gotten Wieters. You've got Henry Blanco, what more could you want? Now your're getting greedy.
-
Up to the # 2 Pick - Geez, I remember the last time we had the #2 pick overall. I was pretty pumped at the time.........Sigh.........
-
BA's running blog states that the Cubs "could" have a pre-draft deal cut with Parker for $2.35MM. Now it states that KC could be on Moustakas at #2 sliding Vitters to the Cubs at 3. So, it should be interesting to see what happens in a little over an hour.
-
True, it looked like he was throwing a whiffle ball to Astro hitters that day. I really hope Parker pans out if he "IS" the guy. IIRC high school right handed pitchers have the highest flame out rate of any position picked. I just hope the Cubs catch a break on this pick and the kid pans out.

Kerry Wood redux ? When did Kerry Wood have good command of the fastball? The day he struck out twenty Astros

Mets "Covet" Z
Tedward replied to E.J.'s topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
I think we'll need another arm along with those two. Considering we could get get two high draft choices if he were to leave via FA, the Mets should be able to cough up another high end pitching prospect. -
If he falls to our second round pick, I would love to take him. We don't have a 2nd round pick (to WAS for Soriano).

6/1 Braves (Davies) vs. Cobs (Z!) 1:20PM CT CSN
Tedward replied to ctcf's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
Too bad we didn't trade Zambrano before the season started. I'm too lazy to look but his K rate has gotta be way down this year. I hope he still has trade value by the all-star break. -
Elvin Puello and Valerio Heredia Were Released
Tedward replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
Biittner - I believe he was. Before my BA subscription ran out, I recall Allan Simpson had him on top 20 prospect list - rookie level Mesa (IIRC) -
2007 Draft Class
Tedward replied to Tim's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
Top 10: 1. Tampa Bay: David Price 2. Kansas City: Rick Porcello 3. Chicago Cubs: Josh Vitters 4. Pittsburgh: Beau Mills 5. Baltimore: Ross Detwiler 6. Washington: Max Scherzer 7. Milwaukee: Mike Moustakas 8. Colorado: Daniel Moskos 9. Arizona: Phillippe Aumont 10. San Francisco: Madison Bumgarner Brackman goes 11 to the Mariners, Wieters goes 18 to the Cardinals. Thanks for sharing Raisin. Did he happen to say if PIT was still hot on Vitters at #4 if the Cubs were to pass on him?
