    Is he really that offensive to Hendry's plans that we can't find a spot for him to play SOMEWHERE?! His bat really came alive when he got back from his injury, and didn't seem to be the negative guy that the Red Sox media machine made him out to be. Hendry has said numerous times that if Nomar was willing to play OF he would be signed already. It looks like he wants to be a SS or at least an infielder, and there's no room for him here.

    Good deal for KC, especially if Bayliss is as mediocre as Rotoworld claims.

    Is Flip Wilson available? Is Flip Wilson alive? That's a no.

    Jayson Stark just said that he expects Bradley to be a Cub. "Maybe not this week", said Stark, but he thinks Bradley will end up on the North Side.

    Make the prospect a Rich Hill type and not a Felix Pie type and I'll take it. Floyd as our RF would be easy to take.

    Did they make sure his nametag read Len Kasper and not Len Casper? (That's the best of the many pathetically lame jokes that ran through my head...)

    Damon Buford? No no no. If anything, the number should be retired in honor of Scott McClain. :wink: That said, the number should be open for Pierre once he gets around to picking his Cubs uniform number. Henry Blanco, Jody Gerut and Scott McClain all had flings with the number 9 last season. But Pierre will get his 9.

    Probably a decent move by Tampa. Brazelton has shown little more than flashes in the couple of years he's been with the big club. Most likely, it's just trading damaged goods for damaged goods, though.

    I think that if SF can come within two of the Seahawks, then the Colts can certainly beat Seattle.

    ND will win 27-21.

    As long as he plays Murton and Cedeno and doesn't bench them after their first 0-for-9 slump, I don't care what motivation is behind it.

    If Lowe and his massive contract, or Penny is enough to land Abreu, then how is Williams/R. Hill/another prospect not enough to get a deal done? :?

    What was the biggest reason DLee and Co. couldn't drive in more runs for the Cubs: Answer: There was never anyone on base. What does Juan Pierre specialize in: Answer: Getting on base. This is a good move.

    At this point, that's the best lineup we can realistically hope for. I think with our three horses all allegedly healthy, that offense would be more than enough to have a realistic shot at contending.

    I'm going to guess Washington. Bowden loves toolsy guys. Any confirmation on whether a pitching prospect is actually included or not? Cubs.com disagrees with who is included in the deal. They say that it's only Pinto and Nolasco and the Marlins are sending a prospect back. ESPN.com says it's all three with no prospect coming back. Time will tell...

    I'm buying the official Cubs.com article over an ESPN.com article. The Cubs.com version sounds better anyway. :D NSAvenger, if Hendry somehow comes out of this with Vargas, I will remove my I Hate Jim Hendry BandWGN and vow that it will never return.

    Just in case you missed, he wasn't implying they aren't studs, just thought (as did I) that it was funny that a professional web site would refer to players as studs. I could've sworn that the term "young studs" was pretty normal in baseball journalism. In opinion columns, but not on official "corporate" web sites. Ok, this is way too off-topic. Back to the topic at hand - does NSBB officially endorse this deal or not? :P
  19. Andy
    This is what I was referring to. A professional web site using "studs" is a little off. "Highly rated prospects" is one thing, but I still think it is funny that a professional website is talking about "studs" in the minor leagues. Of course, they have to keep their few fans' interest somehow I guess.

    Oops.

    :lol: :lol: :lol: at the photoshopping

    That's what I was referring to. Jim's pretty good with scooping up good prospects from other teams...I'll bet whoever it is, has a decent shot at one day playing big league ball at a high level.
  23. Andy
    From the Marlins site. I thought that was pretty funny. :D
  24. Andy
    No it is not old, and that is REALLY GOOD news...the best part is this blurb: Not only would we not have to give up more than two prospects, but Hendry looks to squeeze a pitching prospect out of Florida. I'm not a huge Pierre fan, but I really like this deal if it happens as printed.

    My free agent contest ballot (on which I had Clemens retiring) is smiling at the moment...
