Honestly, who's going to want to take Rusch off our hands? In my opinion, we need to put Hill in the rotation for the rest of the year, no matter how bad he pitches. He needs experiance.
Its hard not seeing Barrett in there with his offencive production this year, but you can't expect to see an all-star from a team with a season like this. Congrats to Zambrano, he definantly earned it. Heres to hoping atleast he can keep up his great pitching.
C - Michael Barrett 1B - Derrek Lee 2B - Chase Utley 3B - Aramis Ramirez SS - Alex Rodriguez (when he was one) LF - Carlos Lee CF - Aaron Rowand RF - Gary Sheffield SP - Carlos Zambrano SP - D' Willis SP - Jake Peavy RP - Bob Howry RP - BJ Ryan
I don't see why Nevin can't stay on this team and play every other day when Lee gets back. -He can back up Lee when he needs a break. -He can back up Ramirez when he needs a break. -He could easily play left or right field. -He can even catch (i believe, correct me if im wrong)
That makes me pretty angry since Friday is the only Cubs' game im going to all year. Just got to prey to the baseball gods for some exploding offence, cause were gunna need it. :x
As attractive as it would be to get guys like Dye, Schmidt, and Zito, my favorite choice up there is Carlos Lee. I think the guy could put up monster numbers playing at Wrigley for half his games.
Hes going to cost way too much money in the offseason coming up, and I don't want to give up some good youngsters just for a two month rental. Sooo, thats a no.
