    There's little reason to trade him since he's not going to net much of anything because he's not good enough to do so and what little value he has is best served in coming off the bench next season. He has little or no trade value by himself, but packaged with others he might be an interesting pickup for an AL team. Eh, the Cubs are, for better or for worse, basically locked up at all of the positions except for either SS or 2nd (ideally both). They could trade for a starting pitcher, but the pitching prospects are going to be in demand for that well before Fox and he'd be a minor ass-on at best. Fox ultimately isn't going to attract too much attention in a deal for the very few players the Cubs would be looking for. I'd rather they just keep Fox as a bench player instead of going out and wasting money on one as in years past.

    Doing shots with Lou.

    Awesome, you're such a badass. NO, I WILL NOT MAKE OUT WITH YOU.

    Eh, we already had to suffer through Eckstein winning the MVP. That's pretty much the depths of baseball insanity. Anyone else is a huge upgrade.

    That was actually a fun game to watch. I love a good pitcher's duel.

    Batting Theriot as leadoff is always pretty dumb.

    I WILL SETTLE FOR NOTHING LESS THAN ANGELS IN THE OUTFIELD AND MARV FROM HOME ALONE AS THE PITCHING COACH.

    I like my team hard-drinkin', hard-fightin' and hard-fartin'.

    Prior to 2006, DeRosa was a career role player who was given an opportunity to start in Texas and made the most out of it. That earned im a big contract, that was ill advised at the time. It payed off, and it made Hendry look good. Similarly, prior to 2008, Aaron Miles was a career role player who had a pretty good year last year after getting a lot of playoff time. Hendry thought he could try the same thing, with a smaller contract. We all know how that turned out. In seasons with at least 100 AB's DeRosa was 4-for-6 in having an .700+ OPS before singing with the Cubs. Miles, using the same criteria, was 1-for-5. Also DeRosa always drew a decent amount of walks per at-bat while Miles never did. There is a big difference between the two. Miles you knew he was below average and just hoped he could play up to being an average player. DeRosa was an average player that you hoped could play up to being good. And yet again, Miles was not signed to replace DeRosa on his own. DeRosa was signed to be a fulltime player. Miles was not. This isn't excusing the signing of Miles or justifying how bad he's been, but it's disengenuous to stack the two up as if the Cubs were expecting the two to have the same role.

    THE SCARS MAY HEAL BUT MY HEART NEVER WILL.

    Could have all been avoided if they had bothered to keep Harden on normal rest all year (with some skipped starts) like they had said they wanted to do before the season, but hey, why stick to a logical decision?

    Until recently it was a pretty excellent year for him. It was a good year, certainly a nice rebound from his 2008, but I wouldnt call it excellent, especially considering his expectations when first coming over. I'd say a top 4-5 center fielder in all of baseball is pretty excellent. Not by the ridiculous expectations LLF posted here.
  16. Sammy Sofa
    Yeah, that's unspeakably adorable.
  17. Sammy Sofa
    Because he had the equivalent of garden gnomes and troll dolls hitting ahead of him for most of that season.
  18. Sammy Sofa
    Glorious.

    "Crap?" The return for selling high on DeRosa is looking pretty good.
  20. Sammy Sofa
    OH, IT'S SO ON.
  21. Sammy Sofa
    And he's white.

    Hmmmm, perhaps.
