    At the right price, I'd take them both.

    I never said he was a "AAAA" player, I just question why...as he is about to turn 27, he's never had an opportunity to play everyday. Simple: Todd Helton

    And I'd kick in some gas money.

    Umm... why? "You got us into this mess, you're gonna get us out of it"

    13 year old girls everywhere take exception to what you just said.

    Tell 1 to not get hurt before Lee again and the other to do something with the bat. Dopirak was probably not ready anyway, and Sing has been showing signs of why he was left unprotected and subsequently unclaimed when the Rule V draft came around.

    The Padres are scorching hot because they got 7 games with us. They may be playing good baseball right now, but we've made them look like the 85 Tigers coming out of the gate.

    I would say the Cubs have to play at least .550 ball when everybody comes for me to be okay with an extention. Playing .500 isn't good enough. I would think that when Prior, Wood, Miller, and Lee come back, the Cubs need to play .700 ball for at least a month for Hendry to offer him an extension. After all, the return of those players eliminates all of Baker's excuses. First, assuming Lee comes back by the end of July, that leaves August and September for the team to turn it around and I would expect them to play well for 2 months not 1. Second, expecting a team to play .700 ball is a bit excessive as that would mean a 113 win pace. I could see .600 ball as that would be a 97 win pace. But they would have to play really well after everybody gets back for an extention to be warranted. Not that it has a lot of bearing on the rest of the thread, but Lee should be back a month sooner than that.

    It all started after the 2003 season when Tejada and Vlad were both out there. Both would have been a significant upgrade, and neither were legitimate targets. The recent FA classes have been much less talented overall, and that's why everyone's panties are in a bunch over Giles. He was by far the strongest candidate to have a significant impact on this team, and we all know how that story ended. Sure, a lot of bad decisions were made with what should have been a lot of money to spend, but we wouldn't be nearly as disappointed with what transpired had we jumped on some of those bigger targets in the couple of offseasons before.

    Why not get the good ones, like Willis and Cabrera. At least we still don't have Conine or Lenny Harris. Why do I feel like you should have to say yet as you finish that thought? Funny, I thought the same thing after I clicked on submit.

    Alright fine, bring 'em all up. Take whatever minor leaguers are hitting, and put them in place of Bynum, Theriot and Mabry, who has been awful. Might as well drop back to 11 pitchers and call up another bat as well. i think you actually have to play before you are called terrible. The Riot hasn't had a chance to show anything with the big league team yet. I believe that statement was made about Mabry.

    I don't see the word "SUCKS" in any of the posts above. I do see a concern with a below average defensive catcher (I do agree with you that we have MANY other serious problems). It probably doesn't matter though. We have shown historically that our pitching staff can handle themselves, healthy or not. He has not been good, he's been horrible, he sucks. Semantics. Do you know why Damian Miller is the starting catcher for Milwaukee? Because they don't have Michael Barrett. All things considered, he is at or near the top when discussing NL catchers. He's the least of this team's problems.

    Are the batters on a 5-pitches-then-hit-off-a-tee-limit?
  16. Ding Dong Johnson
    Yep. They're not exactly all-star caliber players right now, but they've been solid.
  17. Ding Dong Johnson
    Juan's on steroids?
  18. Ding Dong Johnson
    Oh joy, another Barrett sucks thread.
  19. Ding Dong Johnson
    Freddie Bynum's cousins.
  20. Ding Dong Johnson
    Those crazy people...negative after losing 14 of 16 games.... Outrageous I know. We should start over...oop oh we can't. I guess forefit the rest of the season because we suck beyond belief. There, I filled in the excuse.
  21. Ding Dong Johnson
    Will Miguel Cabrera still be available at #13?
  22. Ding Dong Johnson
    If they weren't "playing pathetic", we wouldn't act "pathetic".
  23. Ding Dong Johnson
    I actually agreed with Jay on a few points. I feel dirty now.
  24. Ding Dong Johnson
    Sold.

    I don't see the elbow being a big concern at 1st, and I like the deal if it can be done very quickly. If he can put up numbers remotely close to his minor league totals, he'd instantly become our best offensive players. With Lee's new deal, we would likely have to spin him off to someone else. If it doesn't cost too much, I think it's something we have to do.
