Pretty much. Turner has been horrendous in his time here and seemed like the worst possible option to have for a team trying to adjust to a whole new type of offense.
completely agreed, except i'll take it a step further and say that, since we're almost certain that we'll do something stupid and waste a bunch of money, i hope we do it on someone cool like this. Damn, you so smart. I like your style, cowboy.
Only after we eat Bradley's contract and sign Figgins to a 5 year deal. But, hey we should keep Jim around. The next guy could be worse. When did anyone say that was a reason to keep him around?
Unbelievable. I defended Gregg for a while thinking he'd be an average closer (mainly in the hope they could offer him arbitration and get the draft picks) but he's given up a ridiculous amount of home runs this season.
Do you go about each day saying things like "get ready to be in a terrible car crash" or "get ready to get fired" or "get ready to have the waitress screw up my order?"
There is zero need to look for a "leadoff hitter." In an ideal world Fukudome and Bradley are already slotted as the #1-2 hitters for the rest of their time in Chicago.
