Oh yeah man. He saved us last year.

Carroll gets the edge IMO. Neifi slugs higher--though still a terrible slugger--, Carroll gets on-base more--and does so at a decent clip. Off the bench, I'd definitely want Caroll because he can get on-base. Thats what you want out of a bench player, defense and the ability to get on base. Anything else is a bonus. Carroll > Perez

Batista couldn't put up decent numbers anywhere.

Sullivan on various questions heading into the season:
Drew Doughty replied to UK1679666180's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
There was nothing to do but play him. By the time he got back to the majors, we were pretty much out (minus that late surge early in September) and there was no reason NOT to play him. See if he can find some form of his game. -
So could any year. I'm sure there were a bunch of people that thought '03 could be a long year. I'll bet you more people thought 2003 would be a year that Choi, Hill and Zambrano would develop into cornerstones, and we'd be building toward competitiveness in 2004-6. Maybe like Murton, Cedeno, Williams (though he's already fairly established), Guzman, and another Hill this year?

Man...Vance defending Wade Miller? That's news! :P I can't see Ponson being better unless Miller is hurt. Even then, Miller will probably be better. :)

What does winning a WS have to do with this topic?

Neifi!

Then stick Dunn in the three hole, and his OBP makes him a table-setter. Lee and ARam behind him and your 3-5 spot is among the best in baseball. Walker and Pierre makes for a good 1-2 punch (if Walker is still on the team). Then hopefully Hairston would be 2 on the depth chart at 2b and he would be fine in the 2 spot and you still have 2 good table setters. We don't need another one, that would be stupid. On a side-note, Sammy was crazy good in 01. 1174 OPS = :shock:
-
It's not worth it? What's not worth it? I'd give up alot to get Dunn. With a broken hand he put up a .540 slg last year. He has a great obp, would fit the bill of a left handed power hitter that Hendry wanted. His only real downside is his defense (I think. I can't remember, actually.) Does he K alot? Yes, but I think his ability to be great at other facets of the game makes up for that by a wide margin. He can play the OF and back up Lee if necessary.

There's nothing left, that's why we're looking at the "clearance" bin. There's no guarentee that any of these guys would be on the roster if they were NRIs anyways.

Time to get behind who we have??
Drew Doughty replied to WrigleyinEngland's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
We actually do have a pretty good team that is going to rely heavily on pitching. If the pitching fails, this team goes down with it. The offense sucks, still. We did very little to improve it. Pierre is decent, but eh. I'm behind this team anyways, and I don't know a Cub fan who isn't. I'm not rooting for Jones to fail, if that's what you mean. -
Why does everyone keep saying we have Jones for 3 years. Because he has a three-year contract. While it is likely that he'll be traded, we still have him signed for three years, and we aren't going to go out and get someone else as long as he's under contract to the Cubs, barring injury or piss-poor play. So the Cubs won't improve themselves given the opportunity? It is clear that the Cubs were going after player's like Abreu, Tejada, Wilkerson, Huff, Kearns, Floyd (if he became available) etc. It's not like they targeted Jones as their number one option. The Cubs would improve themselves given the oppurtunity, but I can't see Hendry going out and getting a real improvement over Jones unless he is really struggling or is injured. If the right deal came along and included Murton or Jones, he'd probably do it. I think it's going to be a deal that falls in his lap more than him pursuing anyone in particular, though.

Wherever he wants to play... Lee is better than 6 players on the cubs team(ARam and DLee not included) If we can get CLee we do it, I dont care who sits, he is better than everyone in our outfield. That can't be what the Cubs are thinking, though. While I'd prefer Lee over Jones and Pierre, the Cubs are looking to lock up Pierre (although they're saying it's up to him) and have Murton and Pie in the corner positions (again, if they succeed) for years to come. I don't think they're going to go after Lee unless Jones/Murton is absolutely atrocious (by their standards) or if one of the two gets injured.
-
Where would we put him? We have Jones for 3 years, he can't play center, and Murton is going to be in left (if he succeeds, of course). Then there's Pierre possibly signing long term with Pie waiting. Only way we go after Lee is if Murton fails in left, which hopefully doesn't happen.
-
ARam, easily.

heh, for a while after I hit post the site just stopped loading. So I felt inclined to post again. And again, but I deleted that one.

Draft tomorrow - fantasy baseball question
Drew Doughty replied to indifferent's topic in Fantasy Sports
Yeah, but you can't draft until the 16th, I think. -
I'm pretty sure it was '99, because a lot of people were predicting success for us following '98.
-
hey, at least we "got out of the gate" well. :roll: Yep. That's the key to success you know. Get off to a good start and the rest is smooth sailing.
-
Didn't we actually have a very solid start in 99 and then we fell off the face of the earth?
