Baker can actually really help us next year, especially in a platoon at third if we don't bring Aramis back. I agree that saying what Hendry did and then appearing desperate to dump Z doesn't make any sense. Yep, Baker can help the Cubs finish 5th again. He is a BENCH player, none of them are so valuable that they can't be traded if a team like Boston wants to give up a young player. Stellar logic. In your sweaty hurry to slam Baker as merely being a "BENCH player" you effectively torpedo your own argument that he can be traded for anyone of significance. -
Marshall wouldn't net you those kind of pieces. Ramirez could, but he won't allow himself to be traded. And thus, here we are. Though really, those reason for a team like the Cubs to ever go into full rebuilding mode (which is effectively giving up for the foreseeable future). The fact that people here think that is unavoidable or even ideal is just baffling to me. The Cubs can easily both build for the future AND contend next year with a team capable of both taking advantage of a weak division and decent enough to challenge the arguably or obviously better teams in a short playoff series.

The more money the Cubs offer the more they likely want back in return in terms of a prospect or prospects. Zambrano is in that middle ground of not being worth the money he's being paid, but also not worth the level of prospects the Cubs would expect if they pick up a big chunk or most of his salary (especially moving from the NL Central to the AL East). I find it difficult to believe that you honestly think the Yankees wouldn't take him if the Cubs were essentially offering to pick up a big part of the tab and not wanting much in return.

You've changed, man.

Yeah, this seems like desperation on the Giants' part if that's what they're giving up. How tough is their schedule the rest of the way vs. the Diamondbacks'? And how realistic is it that the Diamondbacks will pull off a deal that will help them take the division?

Watch CPatt become the next Lou Brock. GOOD CALL, BRO.

Are they looking for corner OF or CF?

There's very good arguments as to why trading Byrd this year WOULD be stupid.
-
Kenny Williams = great GM or greatest GM?
-
Yeah, it's like night and day in terms of potentially trading these two guys. Can we use this thread as some kind of honeypot? Like anyone who comes in and is all for trading Zambrano just to get rid of him is mercifully banned?
-
You realize they can do that without forcing a ridiculously lopsided trade, right?

Perry and Jaramillo ultimately had or have little impact on the performance of the lineup on a game to game basis. And if you bought the "smart player" garbage AT ALL you're a chump. Barney always has been a tremendously impatient hitter.

HE SHOULD BE IN BASEBALL JAIL, EH, BALLGAME64?!??
-
He has a really lame beard.

Kosuke reaches thanks to his 99th percentile SAT II scores.
-
Ah-so! Not a very inscrutable AB from our second baseman!
-
Why didn't he calculus that ball over the fence?
-
Why the quotes?
-
"Casey Ruth?" How well do you think he's doing?
-
Why do you think Barney is a "smart player?" It's because he's Asian, isn't it?
-
He's basically a platoon player.
