    And we can rely on Gallagher, Marmol, Marshall, and Wells being "solid" even less than we can rely on Prior being healthy. You ought to keep Prior since his value is low right now, but you need to sign a stud FA pitcher (or two) in the offseason.
  2. Fro
    It's getting pretty pathetic at this point, especially with how hyped our minor league system was. One would think we could at least produce a few solid position players and a stud or two over the last 10 years. Something has to change as far as scouting/development of hitters, because they're just not getting things done down there. I also think we need to change the ratio of signing pitching over hitting to be less lopsided, because what's happening right now is we hang on to pitchers too long and they end up losing value (Juan Cruz, Rich Hill), or we ship out A ball guys out and they turn into studs. The whole "we'll have a million stud pitchers and will be able to trade them for big bats" hasn't worked out.

    I say we hire Steve Stone and Joe Morgan as some combination of GM/Manager since they both think they know everything.
  4. Fro
    You need the big bats... doing the whole "four or five ace" thing is complete overkill. Give me 3 studs and 2 kids for a pitching staff with big bats in the lineup and a good bullpen anyday.

    I doubt anyone would have predicted Nomar would have this type of season, and be relatively healthy. He was trending into an "good" shortshop from a "great" shortshops.

    Imagine how much better the Brewers pitching will be with both Maddux brothers in the dugout though.

    Rothschild needs to get fired for ruining Wood and Prior.

    Dusty's gonna go down with his boy Nefi starting every game :lol:

    I think we've underestimated the Tribune suits a little bit. While MacPhail and Hendry are safe I'm sure there's a few people on the board who are baseball fans, plus the rest of them can understand $100 million payroll shouldn't = nearly last place in MLB. I'm sure they can also guess and project that sold out Wrigley Field isn't going to continue with a last place team.

    It's gonna be an adjustment for him coming back, when the dude was pretty much bionic and unstoppable when he came in.

    Trading Z = throwing in the towel on the next 3-4 years You might as well sell off the whole dang team if you do that.
  12. Fro
    Fredi Gonzalez or Razor Shines would both be excellent choices. 8)
  13. Fro
    Lee/Nevin/Murton all destroy lefties. Nefi hitting 2nd is unfortunate though.
  14. Fro
    Like I've said, with Lee back and Pierre not sucking anymore, I bet we score a decent amount of runs from here on out.
  15. Fro
    BELTRAN HOMERS AGAIN FOR THE CUBS!!
  16. Fro
    Nefi is trying to save his job and his buddy Dusty :lol:
  17. Fro
    Man, Z looks intense today. He was glaring at all the White Sox running the bases.
  18. Fro
    I think there's a lot to be said when even the Tribune is talking about Dusty getting fired soon (and they seem to have opened up the guns on him today).
  19. Fro
    This game ain't over 8)
  20. Fro
    Here comes the crazy-ass ending 8)
  21. Fro
    Pierre on base again :shock:
  22. Fro
    Seriously, this offense ought to be pretty decent now with Pierre not sucking hard and Lee/Barrett back.
  23. Fro
    Good first inning for Mad Dog... mowed those guys down.
  24. Fro
    It kind of makes sense to play Nevin in the OF to show he can do it and raise his trade value. If he's still starting after the trade deadline, I agree, that'll be ridiclous.
  25. Fro
    If you're not trying to be competitive in 2007/2008, you might as well trade every single player on the team (except the rookie pitchers/Cedeno). Those two years are our window with Lee/Prior/Z/Barrett/Aram (before it costs $13 million a year to have Zambrano as our starter).
