    YOU picked sc?!?! Did it burn your fingers to type that? Heh. I thought they would win, they had been playing much better the last 2 months. Mayo's last 2 months totally changed my opinion of him as a player

    if vandy goes down, it is going to bone a lot of people.

    when i saw his name, i did a double-take. I was going to pick him earlier but I thought he was gone, so I just took Escobar instead.

    no. do you realize how easy it is to find someone who can just be average - even a lefty? Even if we did go into the season with Piggy in a serious role, and even if he was terrible, we'd just sub him out for someone who wasn't as bad. I realize that this whole argument is a tangent, but no reliever is going to be allowed to be bad enough for a long enough time that Marte over him would make up the difference between Roberts and DeRosa.

    I like the "Boston and New York have the best lineups in baseball" line. Who knows what kind of lineups they ran out there those days. John Lieber has like a 1.20 era so far. This guy will be good, more than likely, but let's not start sucking our own popsicles yet.

    Wolf, if I were you, I'd just repick. Cueto will show up in the free-agent pool (as a waiver acquisition I imagine) and I don't want to go through all the trouble of pissing people off and re-arranging rosters if someone else picks him up.

    You should really listen to this, reds44. Because you know us. We're the type to say I toldja so. And we will be. Okay that's fine. What either of us say has nothing to do with what actually will happen. I know Dusty's past. I lived in the Chicagoland area when he managed the Cubs. I have no need to listen to what you say, when I already know what happend. you should actually, definitely, not listen to roast

    I like. Is it that much less nasty with Piggy or Lahey instead of Marte? Or with Leiber in long relief and Hart in short relief? Especially when whoever gets the final pen spot will be basically the 25th man on the roster? Is it that much less nasty to pay more in money and prospects to upgrade it? That's the same point people make for not making the Roberts' trade. Getting Marte makes a good bullpen better. Of course, everything depends on cost. It's completely different. You are talking about getting better for 1 inning at a time, 70 games a year. With Roberts you are getting a 9-inning/ 150 game per year player. It's completely the same. You take a good situation and upgrade it to make it better. That 1 inning at a time, 70 games a year possibly could make a swing of 8-10 wins depending on the situation. I could argue the VORP of Roberts over DeRosa is less than the VORP of Marte over Pignatello or Cotts. I repeat, you make a good situation better in either case. lol Roberts in 2007 - 48.6 Derosa in 2007 - 21.3 Marte, in what was basically a career year, vorped 15.7 In other words, no.

    It was perfectly clear to me and many others here. Can't help it if you weren't paying attention like the rest of us. [-X [-X I simply want the Cubs to win the division, the league and the World Series this year, that's all. To put any hope on having Wood as the closer, given his history of DL stints and who knows how many games he wasn't or won't be available, is bad decision making. Again, he has ZERO saves in his career. How would you ever determine a closer if they're not allowed to ever get their first save? Everyone starts at zero. check their dna for the closer sequence

    As long as they're buying low, I'm down. Some of the rumors I'm hearing (reading) have it being a late round pick (5th or 6th rounder) and Jones agreeing to turn a large portion of his contract into incentives. My guess is this happens some time in the next week or so. Fantastic. If he's stayed in shape, it will be worth it to the return game if nothing else.
