There's absolutely nothing unique about how he "tees off" against the Cubs. -
He's only signed for 2 years regardless.

I understand it's you opinion, but I'm sorry, the bold part is a terrible reason to not dramatically improve your team, especially not for the sake of holding on to the prospects who like will have nothing close to the impact a player like Garza does. Avoiding being bad for prolonged periods of time hinges on having more players like Garza. I just am all for doing this for good hitters, we have sucked at developing them. Had we done that deal for David Wright, cool. But we have developed a lot of nice pitchers of later. I hate trading away prospects for them. Who is the front of the rotation starter we've developed? Z? Archer's ceiling is probably Garza, but with his control problems it's no guarantee he'll even approach that. Trading Hak-Ju Lee irked me a bit, but he was an A ball player. The rest of the players were filler. Dempster is getting older and Z may not be around much longer. I think the Garza trade was a pretty astute move, actually. Z, Prior, Wood And we're approaching a decade since the last of them showed up.

Just thinking from we were are at we need to be hoarding prospects and we gave away two pretty good ones. The Cubs don't need to be hoarding prospects; most prospects do not pan out. They need to continue improving the farm system so that you can both develop players internally and have the resources to make trades for valuable players like Garza when they're available. Eh I guess. I just wasn't a fan of the trade. I think we should be in full rebuilding mode. I understand, but "hoarding" prospects isn't automatically rebuilding. Adding a guy like Garza IS rebuilding.

Incorrect. Please either do a couple minutes' worth of research or just stop posting this nonsense. In May he hit .247 w/ 5 extra base hits and 2 RBI In June hes hitting .235 w/ 2 extra base hits and 2 rbi so far what is good about a corner outfielder that has done this 3 years in a row and is making this year his 4th Because he also gets on base and plays excellent defense. Yeah, it would be nice if he had more power, but that doesn't have to be the only way he is valuable to this team. You're completely ignoring everything that he brings to the team to focus only on power and BA. His 122 OPS+ is very telling in this regard.
-
Why doesn't the Garza trade make any sense? He's a very, very good pitcher who is only 27 and who isn't a FA until 2014.
-
Why don't you just ask him out. If only he would have me.
-
He'll have the best year of his career in Chicago. And you will poop your pants.

Albert's gleeful prance to home plate is what I will be doing when the Cubs sign him.
-
Great outing by Zambrano, at least.

4 years of a punchin judy corner outfielder that cant even hit .270...just tired of him and many others Terrible argument. Please re-submit. I'd like to see him moved as I think he's one of our few peices that could net a decent return. I'd have zero problem if they could trade him. This guy inexplicably wants him released and think he's no good.

Please re-submit. im not argueing...he sucks and should not be in any future plans so just get rid of him and let someone else play Fine, terrible reasoning then. And no, he doesn't suck, especially not this year. You're picking a bizarre time to for this rant.

But let's backtrack...why did that one guy want Fukudome released?
-
I'll be stunned if Wood is traded.

Pujols over the last week (before today): .435 .536 1.043 1.579 The last two weeks: .298 .377 .660 1.037 He's back, baby. Delicious.

Oh, Albert. I can't be mad at you. Come to my arms.
-
Please explain.
-
Why wouldn't they be? It would be great to work for a guy who didn't judge you on unreasonable things like performance. http://www.sdplastics.com/dedhorse.gif The horse won't be dead until we have new baseball operations leadership. No, that'll just be a new horse.

JeffH is going to be sooooo disappointed for the rest of his life and then die angry.

Though the guy's already got a WS under a belt, so I could see him ending up pretty much anywhere so long as he gets the money/years he wants. -

This time in 2002, Cubs were 22-35 with a -49 run differential, en route to a 67-95 finish, and Sammy's numbers that year were at the top end of what we can reasonably hope for from Pujols. Baseball boners that year were pretty scarce. I don't understand your point, unless you think I expect that the Cubs will only sign Pujols and do absolutely nothing else. Pujols is only one part of the baseball-boner. Granted, he's a big part, so he'd be the turgid shaft.
