Mad Dog 2020

Linda Cohn annoys the yucky do do out of me. Anyone else think Dana Jakobson is gorgeous?

Short of the Cubs winning the world series, I don't see there being a chance for Baker to be the Cubs manager in 2007. I would take anyone aside from him. Bob Brenley, Larry Bowa. Dusty is an idiot.

If Pie landed us Abreu, Manny or Dunn, then I'd happily pack Felix's bags. For anyone else, I'd hang onto him. I pretty much agree. Could anyone expect Pie to be any better than a Manny, Abreu, or Dunn? To me, keeping him is a gamble while getting someone of all star calibre already proven is a sound decision. I would deal him if something great came up.

Pierre is an excellent pickup and a great lead off hitter. I understand Walker is probably a slightly better hitter, but speed means a lot in a leadoff hitter, even if they don't steal bases. With Walker batting #1, it would clog up the bases. He would be a good #2, or even Matt Murton could serve as a #2 (pretty good speed, patient, fundamentally sound, contact hitter). I feel like we're already a better team than we were last year, and with Bradley in RF we'll be better.
