    Off topic but this list made me wonder...Who was the last everyday player to come through the Cubs system and have a career like the guys on the list above? Rafael Palmeiro?
  2. Andy
    A. We have the Knicks' first-rounder, and they'll almost assuredly be in the lottery. B. We might not make it out of the lottery either. :(
  3. Andy
    It's entirely un-Cubs fan-like, but for some reason I'm very optimistic that we will land Tejada in another typical Hendry fleecing.
  4. Andy
    Think about it...Basically Hill, CEdeno and latroy for Miggy---aww we fleeced those Giants :D And LaTroy's already in Baltimore so we can pretend we've already traded him to Baltimore! :D
  5. Andy
    I don't follow the Cubs minor leaguers closely, but I was never too enamored with Hill or Choi.
  6. Andy
    And that was? Or is it unprintable here?
  7. Andy
    Supposedly the Dodgers turned down a Walker for Bradley deal, so our best bet with Milton might be to wait for the Dodgers to non-tender him.
  8. Andy
    I think the Cubs should talk to Miggy about just that before/if the deal goes through. The Cubs got DLee locked up long-term after they traded for him...I don't see why we wouldn't do the same with Tejada.

    Chicago sports figures: (not being a Bears fan this is really just a Cubs/Bulls list) 1. MJ 2. Banks 3. Santo 4. Sosa I dropped Sammy that far only because Banks and Santo continue to be Cub ambassadors and Sammy would never be able to fill that role anymore.
  10. Andy
    That's not a pertinent question, because no one is going to make us keep him if we traded for him.
  11. Andy
    No I wouldn't. I'd just find some other team that needs relief pitching and flip them LaTroy for a Class A prospect.
  12. Andy
    Maybe we want to trade them Hairston and that's what is slowing things down. :lol:
  13. Andy
    Yeah. He's talking about the Tejada thing right now. Sounds like the Cubs have very serious interest. He also said if the Orioles think about trading Tejada things would go very quickly. This offseason could go from terrible to mediocre (after Pierre) to fantastic very quickly if Hendry pulls this off. And I will jump off the "I Hate Jim Hendry" BandWGN forever if he can do it.

    Yeah. He's talking about the Tejada thing right now. Sounds like the Cubs have very serious interest. He also said if the Orioles think about trading Tejada things would go very quickly. So if the O's GM is smart, he'll start by asking for Prior, Z or ARam. Hendry will say no, so then the O's GM has to look at Leo Mazzone and his PC, and think that it would be smart to build around pitching first. So we can offer Hill, Williams, a reliever, and a position player prospect (probably Cedeno). Would that be enough? This is a scenario that having Pinto or Nolasco could really help. Levine was speculating Hill, Williams, Cedeno, and maybe Patterson would do it. I think that's all he said. He might have said another prospect too. I forget. Wow. if Jim Hendry's listening, pull the trigger in an instant! Getting Tejada without giving up Pie or Hill would be absolutely huge.

    I'm not even sure the Marlins would make that trade.

    Mets sign Julio Franco to two-year deal Bill Mueller signs with LA Dodgers

    :shock: :shock: :shock:

    My friends went to a Cubs/Reds game at Wrigley in September 2004 and got into an argument with Freel. From what they told me it was quite humorous.
  19. Andy
    Bulls are looking better, 5-0 run to start 2nd quarter. Kobe has all of one point in the game so far, it would be nice to take advantage of his struggles.
  20. Andy
    Two points scored in the first 3:11 of the 2nd quarter, both by the Bulls.
  21. Andy
    Why do you say that? It is not just Stone who says that. All one has to do is watch him pitch. Absolutely. Especially when he overthrows. He comes completely across his body when he is in one of his wild spells. It doesn't take a competent pitching coach, or even Larry Rothschild, to figure that one out. :lol: :lol: :lol:
  22. Andy
    Pitching. I think all of it. Starters and Pen. You'd think that would make us the prohibitive favorites to get Miggy...
  23. Andy
    You wont get anywhere without putting Pie's name in the discussion, especially not if your only letting him take 3 players. If they trade him they will want to get the base for a good young team in return, as I said previously a Package like Pie, Hill, Cedeno, and Dope would be a good start. And then I'd pay for all of Tejada's contract too. I honestly doubt it will cost us Pie to get Tejada. If we give them enough pitching prospects, plus Cedeno and another bat, he can be ours. Just look at the other deals that are going on right now, no one has really had to give up their top prospect for anyone, and seldom does a top prospect get shipped unless he is in the Yanks system. Somehow I think that if Cedeno + pitching prospects was all it took, Tejada would be a Cub already. What about: CPatt/Welly/Oriole prospect to LA Bradley/Williams/Cedeno to Baltimore Tejada to Cubs ?
  24. Andy
    Bonds charging Prior was in my picture slideshow screen saver for quite some time after that. Hilarious.
