    But if much of those efforts end up being as effective or even worse than doing nothing, is that something someone should get credit for? I've known plenty of people who work very hard, but aren't terribly good at their jobs.

    His natural scent is obviously better than any cologne. HE IS ARAMIS.

    When asked for what the Reds wanted in return, Dusty asked for the oldest member of the grounds crew.

    Murph is on the air right now saying that Fuld is "untouchable" because of a "failing" Pie. Wow. Murph...just stop.
  5. Sammy Sofa
    I agree. If not better, just as good. But I think the same thing about Murton too. Depends on what players the Cubs give up to get him. Also, having a coach that he's familiar with may be what saves him from his personal demons. I'd rather keep Murton to play LF/RF (Crazy dream of Soriano moving to RF), have Fukudome play CF and trade high on Pie.
  6. Sammy Sofa
    Guys, GUYS!!! Moment of silence, please. Sam Fuld is obviously a leper, and we need to show a little respect.
  7. Sammy Sofa
    How is his name even remotely hard to say or pronounce? It's basically phonetic.
  8. Sammy Sofa
    I didn't think it was possible to love the idea of Cuban as the owner of the Cubs even more...but hey, look, here we are. I don't know, I'm oddly confident that he gets it. I think he REALLLY wants this team and his offer is gonna be head and shoulders above anyone else's.
  9. Sammy Sofa
    Then why did YOU diverge it off into a discussion about Prior? It was your response to a post that only mentioned Prior's salary in terms of money available if he's traded that started this tangent.
  10. Sammy Sofa
    There's already a couple threads going about Prior, in which Cuse has posted the same damn thing. Thanks a lot.

    It's probably the same m.o. behind Haren being shopped. If we offer something impressive, he'll deal him. So...what would a fair deal for Swisher be? It seems we're shopping Prior. So...how about like Prior/Gallagher/Colvin for Swisher? Beane loves OBP, not something Colvin exactly excells at. I bet he'd like a Murton type hitter. Could Prior/Gallagher/Murton net the Cubs Swisher? That would be a huge boost to the Cubs offense. It's been pointed out, but 36M over what should be his prime years - ages 27 thru 31 - would be a huge bargain if Swisher continues along his trajectory, and maybe boost his power numbers playing at Wrigley. Hudson is completely redundant and not an exciting enough player to warrant pursuing IMO. I don't know why Hendry can't just sit tight with Dero at 2nd. What about Marshall instead of Gallagher? I'd rather have Gallagher around as the 5th man option this year and more down the line.
  12. Sammy Sofa
    I ask because I see people on boards claiming that it's reported that Santana has basically told that to the Twins. Are they just pulling this out of their butts?
  13. Sammy Sofa
    I would trade Hill for Bedard. I'd try and make a package to trade for Tejada and Bedard, sign Fukudome and call it a offseason. Never happen, I know, but hey, I can dream.
  14. Sammy Sofa
    So I assume Santana is pretty much only saying he'll go the Red Sox or Yankees, right?
  15. Sammy Sofa
    Not sure. Looking at what the Dodgers and Angels have said in regards to negotiations, I could see the Marlins wanting Pie, Soto, Murton, and Gallagher. They might prefer Marmol to one of those. Yikes. If you can get them to replace soto with Marmol i might do it. otherwise, no. It leaves us with more holes than it fills, then. Maybe. If they also signed Fukudome, he plays CF while Cabrera & Soriano cover LF/RF...however it gets ironed. Quite frankly, I'll live with Cabrera in the OF with his bat doing the damage that it does, especially since he said he'd play wherever his new team waned him. Make sure he hits the treadmill and start crushing.
  16. Sammy Sofa
    I agree. This should be his absolute final chance. Let him start the season as a Cub. And to think I was dead set against that Tejada and Bedard deal when it was proposed. I wish I had a time machine to go back on tha t one. Ditto. Think of how Bedard would look in our rotation now. If I recall correctly, Bedard was never on the table. Hendry insisted on Bedard's inclusion, and that's the biggest reason the deal never went forward. Very true. And I believe the O's wanted more than Prior for Tejada, too.
  17. Sammy Sofa
    Well, we have Soriano leading off with his sub-par OBP. If we get Fukudome and Tejada, my lineup would be: Soriano Fukudome Lee Ramirez Tejada DeRosa Soto Pie Yea that lineup would be ideal. Also apparently the Cubs are looking at moving Soriano out of the leadoff spot, but they say he needs to have speed. With that lineup right there Id go with Fukudome DeRosa Aram Soriano Lee Tejada Soto Pie Wait, why push Lee and Tejada down that far? Bat Lee 2nd, then Aram, then Sori, then Tejada.
  18. Sammy Sofa
    I wonder if his eyebrows will be even more sexily sculpted.
  19. Sammy Sofa
    Well, we have Soriano leading off with his sub-par OBP. If we get Fukudome and Tejada, my lineup would be: Soriano Fukudome Lee Ramirez Tejada DeRosa Soto Pie *Sighs* That lineup makes me feel all funny and tingly. I hope it's just me excited over its awesomeness and not a stroke. Unless it's a stroke that comes after the shock of Hendry actually putting that team together...I'll take that one for the team. No, I really won't. Please don't stroke me, God. Wait....what?
  20. Sammy Sofa
    I'd hate to have a bunch of cash spent on Marquis, Prior and Clement. I'd rather bring a young guy up and put the money into a quality hitter. Now, if the Cubs trade Marquis and Prior, then yes, it might be a nice gamble. Yea, good point. I'm assuming Prior is gone though, and Hendry is entertaining offers for Marquis, so who knows. We certainly don't! It would be nice to get those 3 prospects for Prior, Trade Marquis and his salary for a B prospect and sign Clement if he can pitch. I figure that out to save the Cubs about 10-Clement and should be enough cash for a trade for Tejada or sign Fukedome. Whoa, whoa, WHOA...slow down. That all makes too much sense.
  21. Sammy Sofa
    Doesn't mean they can't look at AFFORDABLE pitchers. That's the key. If the pitchers are affordable, it's very likely they won't be any better than what we already have. Yeah, when your starting lineup is shaping up to have both Ryan Dempster AND Jason Marquis in it, that's simply not true.

    The "new" Yankees strike again.
  24. Sammy Sofa
    With the full Abe Lincoln goatee; it's not even a question. If I were Hendry or any GM, I wouldn't even negotiate with him if there was no goatee involved. It's part of his mystique. Abe Lincoln had a bushy chinstrap.
  25. Sammy Sofa
    Definitely a preferrable "here's hoping" signing to Dempster and Marquis and God knows how many others.
