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.
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?
Buster_ESPN Buster Olney The trade: Colby Rasmus, Trever Miller, Brian Tallet and P.J. Walters for Jackson, Marc Rzepczynski, Dotel and Corey Patterson.#trades Nice win here for the Jays. Rasmus>>>>>>Cpat WHOA, SLOW DOWN NOW.
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?
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.
