    How was not overpaying this past offseason a bad thing? Do you really wish we had Beltran and that contract?
  2. shnsajax
    He should just sign 1 year contracts, then every offseason offer his services in an auction to the highest bidder.
  3. shnsajax
    didnt he hit a HR his first major league ab?

    was it 2 years ago when the A's won 20 in a row?

    First the Cubs last two FULL TIME managers (Bruce Kimm doesn't count)---outside of one magical yr---haven't done squat in what 6 yrs? So, IMO, a new voice is what the Cubs need. And just because you've managed before doesn't mean you are qualified for a job. For the past two yrs, I believe. I like Joe, but two yrs isn't enough time for Girardi to earn his "stripes" as a coach, thus I don't really see Girardi as a candidate right now. If the Cubs went with an "experience" manager, I would hope it is either Larry Dierker or Grady Little. If they went with the "rookie" manager I hope it would be Freddie Gonzalez of ATL or Bud Black of Anaheim. As a bench coach how much is Girardi actually learning, that he hasn't learned as a player. I really have no clue, but with someone like Girardi I really don't think it would be a long process.

    Is that a picture from when Daryle Kyle passed away? If so, I am not really sure what you are saying. Right now I am under the impression that there are very few decent veteran managers at all. Joe Girardi has been tabbed as a future manager for 10 years now, and at this point I would have no problem going with a rookie manager.

    The whole Royal roster plus their whole farm system for Pie. (Royals pay all salaries) I still don't think I'd do it. I would do a Pie for Butler and Alex Gordon in a heartbeat. If the Royals want to add their entire farm system for Pie let them go ahead.

    102 here today, dew point at 74. Dempster would suck in Texas.

    It's a proven fact that bad closers have abnormally high body temperatures, exemplified by Latroy Hawkins, who insisted on wearing short sleeves this past April against Pittsburgh at Wrigley, where the gametime temperature was hovering around 30 degrees. If I am not mistaken MIT had a $50,000 grant to prove this. :?
  10. shnsajax
    I think at the end of the year Billy Butler could be a higher rated prospect than Pie, but I don't know if I would trade Pie for him. I could see other teams with specific needs taking Bulter over Pie as well.

    He had that hair transplant thing. I know this because he's on infomercials at 3a.m. http://chicago.cubs.mlb.com/images/2005/07/31/telhlxSR.jpg I hate it when the hair looks nothing like the beard. Its almost Mel Kiper Jr. like.
  12. shnsajax
    Is it just me or does Wade Boggs have a whole lot more hair now than he did when he retired?
  13. shnsajax
    How is Nevin still owed $15 million this season? Is that a typo or one hell of an agent?

    I would still prefer Walker at 2nd on Soriano in the OF. Murton Walker Lee Aramis Nomar Soriano Pie Barrett The K totals at the top would be very low, with a solid .370 obp combined at 1-2.
  15. shnsajax
    How about Murton Nomar Lee Manny Aramis Walker Pie Barrett I think his increase in production would allow the Cubs to comfortably play two rookies in the OF. Of course with his salary the Cubs would almost have two. I would really question putting Pie to high in the lineup early in his carrer. However you got to find a slot to untilize his speed.

    Why sell when their is nothing to buy in the offseason. We need to buy the parts we won't be able to through FA. Besides is it really selling when what your selling is crap.
  17. shnsajax
    The only team I can even consider him is Texas, and even that is not a lock. The one thing that I think is being forgotten is the Kerry wants to be a Cub.
  18. shnsajax
    No, it's Comcast Sports Net Chicago. They bought Fox Sports Chicago I believe. Yeah your right. I'm stuck in Houston right now, and thought I could maybe catch the game at the Fox Sports Bar. On to plan B...
  19. shnsajax
    Stupid question but is CSN, Fox Sports Chicago?
  20. shnsajax
    Would make for an even more interesting AL East race. http://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/baseball/bal-sp.osnotes18jul18,1,7558805.story?coll=bal-sports-baseball&ctrack=1&cset=true

    Thats kind of strange considering how well liked his older brother is. I thought I heard Gammons talking about how great of a person he was also during the futures game. I wonder if their is another incident not made public here.
  22. shnsajax
    I want to see Farnsworth throw at Glenallen Hill. We just need to bring him out of retirement.
  23. shnsajax
    The cost of Wagner or Guardado will be too high should we get another OF. I think the only thing Hendry was doing was expressing hope in Murton and Williamson, which there is nothing wrong with. Also when was the last time Hendry gave a clue in anything. He barely speaks in regards to arbitration.

    I was in Houston on Monday and Tuesday the one thing they were talking about is being tired of giving up their only good prospects to get players. I don't think the Astros system is very deep, but they have a few good players. The first day they were all over Dunn talking about how he would put them right into the wild card. But they also wanted to bat him 5th (behind Berkman and Ensberg), which I think is a very bad idea if they got him. The second day they felt Dunn was overrated and not worth the cost. They wondered how much he will help the current lineup. They have one kid who was just recently promoted to Round Rock in Fernando Nieve who looks to be a very solid pitching prospect and one of their better arms, and they simply don't want to deal him. I am curious to what the Astros will do, because after a big trade they won't have much left at all in that system.

    The Cubs could be major players in the Free Agent and Trade market this offseason, add several players, and still technically cut payroll. In terms of the OF in the FA market you have to get either Damon, Matsui, or Giles to make it even worth it. Damon will probably get to many years, Matsui will probably be a Yankee still, and Giles is a nice question mark. Hopefully the Phillies will realize they are better off without Abreu.
