    I think a lot of people thought the same thing when we had Wood and Prior (with Z waiting in the wings). *Sad face*

    I would love, love, love ARod on this team. I just don't see why the Cubs should have to give up a guy three years younger who is about as good to get him. ARod is significantly better than any player on the Cubs roster right now. Bar none. Not when it comes time in October. He's unclutch, its a fact of life, and Derek Jeter couldn't even save him. Maybe I was seeing things, but I saw a whole bunch of Yankees suddenly fall flat both this season and the last when they hit the playoffs. And didn't I read that it was only this year and the last where he put up lousy post-season numbers? Besides, baseball's history is riddled with great players who suddenly turned medicore or downright awful when they hit the playoffs. That's why you build a quality team and not pin all of your hopes on a single guy. ARod could have hit career highs this post-season and the Yankees would have still lost it.

    Y'know, this is purely subjective on my part, and probably not at all backed up in actual analysis or stats, but I always said that the Cardinals of recent years always had it too easy...they breezed through the regular season and then through the playoffs with few real challenges, so when they finally had to a face a team that typically had to fight its way in they fold like a house of cards. Now it's the flipside and the Cardinals are the "fighting team" against a team that didn't exactly "breeze" into the playoffs at the end, but definitely rolled through them with no problem.

    As everyone should. He got his shot.

    When are we allowed to want to move on from depending on him? After 3 dissapointing seasons? 4? who said anything about whether or not we could depend on him? i wouldn't really depend on him, but it's not because i think he's a wuss/pansy/less than a man. The last thing I want to do is depend on a pitcher that has no stones! Instead of spending another off season playing video games, I'm hoping Prior actually takes it seriously enough to get his arse off from the couch and lift some weights. Was this sarcasm?

    Hip, Hip, Hooray! I'd rather save the 12-13 million and keep Murton in LF. Me too, though if the trading Jacque rumors are true, I'd happily take Lee's services in RF.

    No, Cashman isn't stupid; but if A-Rod really wanted to be traded, I think Cashman would oblige him. Pitching is what the Yankees really need. I don't think the loss of A-Rod would really hurt the Yankees and their star-studded lineup. Ken Exactly. Trading ARod, even with his supposed "lowered value" (*Scoff-scoff*), would be like if the Cubs had wised up and took a chance trading Sammy after 2001. He can either give them an instant quality farm system or the pitching they desperately need. It's not like their offense is suddenly crippled without him.

    Bruce's comments on Rothschild make his coming back not drive me as insane as I'd thought, but I'm still not convinced. O'Neal, on the other hand...given the rampant and repeated injuries, I'm sorry, the traning staff has to be at least somewhat accountable.
  11. Sammy Sofa
    You basically answered it yourself. Willis is proven, and for a team like a Yankees, that makes all the difference in the world.
  12. Sammy Sofa
    Not bad, but seeing as the Marlins probably aren't forgetting what we were willing to give up for Pierre, I think they'd at least want someone like Guzman to make it a trio.
  13. Sammy Sofa
    the yankees could get much better prospects than that from any number of teams. of course, arod may not ok a trade to any of those teams... That's an interesting point. That Yankees might effectively HAVE to deal with the Cubs if they have even an inkling of wanting to trade ARod at this point. I know it's been said ARod would accept a trade if the Yankees came to him and said they wanted him gone, but now that Sweet Lou and his offer/command are supposedly out there, maybe it's either sticking in NYC or going to the Cubs for ARod. Oh, if only...
  14. Sammy Sofa
    Spin some quality rookies down to the Marlins...you'd have to certainly involve at least one of Hill, Pie, Veal, Gallagher or Guzman...then spin Willis off to the Yanks. I'd toss in Eyre and see if they throw back Pavano, too.

    That's anger radiating off his skin. He hustled his way up to the podium. He just realized he was in Chicago. "Hey, quit clogging the stage!"
  16. Sammy Sofa
    That's how I think it's most likely to get ARod, a player I'd much rather have instead of Willis. I can't shake the feeling that he'll (D-Train) have significant DL time on his plate down the line.
  17. Sammy Sofa
    Yeah, it just says that he got a second opinion other than O'Neal. It's a good thing. Can we delete everything else in the thread except for these two posts and then lock it? Because everyone seems to be ignoring them. It's no longer fair game to question Mark O'Neal's ability? I'm all for that. I want it far beyond just questioning the man at this point. But almost everyone is responding to the title like Prior is actually hurt again with a new injury.
  18. Sammy Sofa
    HAW-HAW!!! I hate to revel in such things, but THESE are the kind of results that are going to kick the Tribune in the butt and have them follow through on some serious improvements and/or ultimately sell the team.

    Eyre was mediocre last year. Keeping him for insurance purposes when you can call up Novoa to strike out a bunch of guys and put up a 1.5 WHIP doesn't make sense. Eyre was out of shape this year. He still brings alot of value to the Cubs. He still costs too much with very little chance of getting more than what you've already got. Wood can probably be had for less money and a lot more upside. Besides, we've got plenty of decent, cheap and young pitchers who could easily fill bullpen slots. Bottom line, either Dempster or Eyre needs to go to free up some cash, and Eyre is most likely to get you more in return while not having to pay much of, if any, of his salary.

    When did we get one? Shhh, maybe they're reading. What about Moore? "Uhhhh, yeah, he's the best! A prince among men!"

    \\ Why Prior? I'd avoid trading him because he's only had one year where he's really injury prone. Of course, you're toying with wasting his value if he's bad again this year, but i'd rather that we suck the remaining life out of his arm over the Yankees. If prior or no prior is a dealbreaker, than I trade them Prior. I would like to keep him, but a Prior, Eyre, Pie package to me looks like the only one that would get it done without trading away a keeper unless the Yankees really love Hill. I wouldn't be surprised if a Hill/Eyre/Pie deal does it if the Yankees manage to get Daisuke. Hill is suddenly a MUCH cheaper version of Zito and they can spare the offense.

    This was a [expletive] victory. It was awesome and awful. I love these guys...and I hate them. SO [expletive].
