    I don't know if you can honestly be satisfied with "he'll figure something out." Just read this thread - that's what we thought last year with our LF situation. Quality GM or not, the Cubs and Cardinals both share quite the black hole in the outfield this offseason. I don't really understand why you're "working on pitching" either, I don't see any reason to dump Marquis, and finding a fifth starter shouldn't be so overwhelming it takes your eyes off the prize. I understand your post but Jocketty has proven time and again that he caan get it done. Remember the Cards are getting a big bat during the offseason - Scott Rolan. I would be upset if we had 30m to play with but we don't. The Cards can't have everything and I accept that. Hendry on the other hand... 1) Wastes money on players that don't make a difference. 2) Spends or will spend money on positions that have viable in house alternatives. 3) Doesn't seem to grasp how perfect of a fit Giles would be. However he might have something else up his sleave - we'll see. 4) Hasn't fired Dusty.

    Will those of you who have criticized Hendry for not going all-out to get Giles please opine as to whether Jocketty deserves the same treatment? He's got holes at both corner-OF positions. He's not working with 30m+ this offseason, if Hendry wanted Giles he could have him. Jocketty has gotten the Cards to the playoffs 5 of the last 6 years - I have faith he'll figure something out.

    But did he save the white sox like nefei saved the Cubs last year?

    BP has a rant about this signing... http://www.baseballprospectus.com/article.php?articleid=4612#CHN

    I think there's 11 million reasons why he came to Chicago.

    Now you've done it. I didn't think this needed to turn into a 20 page argument but now it might. THEY WANT LOW CLASS?!?!?! LET'S TALK ABOUT THE CUBS THROWING AT OUR GUYS!!!!

    Edmonds is 4/6 against him lifetime.
  8. CardsFanInChiTown
    I believe Eyre was seeking 3/11 so this has to be right.
  9. CardsFanInChiTown
    It's kinda weird they don't have all the details worked out. I've never heard of a contract signing like that.

    http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2227664 If it's 2/11 I'll kill myself. Dude, it's not worth it, besides I think it's a typo.
  11. CardsFanInChiTown
    Is this contract 3/11 or 2/11? Per ESPN... http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2227664

    You also might want to add Johnny Damon's 7/84M contract.
  13. CardsFanInChiTown
    No way we get him, not going to happen.
  14. CardsFanInChiTown
    Well maybe hendry did this one so the demp contract would look like a steal. :lol: Sorry if i'm trolling here - just tell me to stop.
  15. CardsFanInChiTown
    Isn't overspending on servicable old pitchers how the Yankees got themselves in trouble?
  16. CardsFanInChiTown
    :shock: You're laughing your butt off right now, aren't you?? maybe 10.5 - that's Giles right there. :lol:
  17. CardsFanInChiTown
    :shock:

    Given the performance of Wainwright and the injury history of both Wainwright and Reyes, relying on one or both to chip in heavily to the Cardinals might not be the best of ideas next season. Then again, given the Cubs luck, both will likely end up pitching 150 innings apiece, be fully healthy, and post ERAs in the low threes next season. I doubt Wainwright in the rotation next year but Reyes should be. Would it be a risk? Sure, but he deserves a shot and every team goes in to a season with risks.

    seriously. it's a winter tradition -- hendry signs a reliever that will eventually fall apart to a three year deal. At least he's a real LOOGY. Do you go to another board or something and just laugh after reading this board? I really couldn't blame you if you did. It's a pretty interesting that's for sure. It's amazing how far everyone's offseason expectations have dropped around here.

    Hendry is stockpiling guys for weeks because of a trade he thinks might happen? It's really risky and just plain stupid.

    I thought it'd be a while before we'd see 5 yr deals to pitchers again. I guess teams can't help themselves.
  24. CardsFanInChiTown
    Interesting stuff. That Marquis deal makes some sense -isn't that Wainright (sp?) kid they got from Atl. ready? By the way mul21, stop stealing my avatar! :wink: Wainright is not ready and I'm not so sure he'll ever be. At this point his ceiling is a number 3 starter some day.

    Sweet, Vance just called everyone on the Cubs but Lee deadbeats! :D
