4/18 Cubs (Z) at Braves (Davies) 6:35 p.m. CT CSN+
Banedon replied to sweetpeteman's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
Based on what? He's gotten older (turns 32 this season) and it's been 4 seasons since he played shortstop. He doesn't look as mobile as he did when he was with the Rangers (but hey, he'd still be a better defensive SS than Jeter). If, as Bob said, he could prove me wrong, I'd love a Z-for-ARod trade. Wouldn't his offensive production make up for the drop off in his defense though? -
I think it's just the hope. It just doesn't make sense to me to send him down if that weren't the case considering how well he's been pitching. Not just hope anymore. http://chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseball/cubs/cs-070417cubsbits,1,6444674.story?coll=cs-cubs-headlines "Guzman will move into the rotation at Iowa and likely will make two starts before the Cubs decide whether to bring him back as a starter. With an off-day on April 26, the Cubs will need their fifth starter only one more time until May 1 at Pittsburgh." The writing is on the wall, Mr. Miller. Not to bring the idea down any, but you're just quoting Paul Sullivan's speculations. If this has basis in what he has heard from a team official, he certainly didn't present it that way. I agree that the only other explanation for the move is unparalleled ignorance, but nothing would shock me with this organization. I guess I'm just saying it's still just hope and speculation. Yeah, that's the way I read it too. Just speculation...(though I certainly hope he's right).

That's two...even before we finish April. I didn't even mention Rolen, since you kinda have to expect that he'll get injured at some point.
-
Maybe I'm reading into things, but doesn't this sound like maybe Piniella wasn't so keen on sending down Guzman?
-
I doubt that Hendry would want a lot for Jones. He hasn't been producing here at the start of the year, and just getting out of that contract would be worth it. Plus that would open up an outfield spot since we seem to have a glut of outfielders. It's kind of weird though...Hendry couldn't find a taker in the offseason, but now after a cold start for Jones, there's interest?

You're wrong. Read the article that Locke's Eye Scar linked above. -

That is an absolutely hilarious clip. -
Guz has to be down at least 10 days. Unless they put Sori on the DL. He can come back up for an injury, correct?
-
Thank you.
-
Starting pitchers come in.
-
Murton is out. Gah...stupid lack of PBP. Can someone tell me what the lineup is right now??
-
I hope the wind knocks down any fly balls off of Ohman....:P
-
Prediction...Ohman somehow gets through an inning...Murton hits the game winning HR... Ok, that's just wishful thinking because of the argument in this thread, but still... :)

CUBS WIN!?! According to Yahoo, yeppers.[/quote Yeppers? Yes indeedy doo.
-
We should trade for A-rod. I think he can get here before the game ends.
-
CUBS WIN!?! ESPN has the Padres winning 1-0 THEY LIE!!! HORRIBLE LIES!

Guys, I don't know why this game thread is still going on. Yahoo has the final already. 1-0 Cubs in a 5 inning game.

Erased last year from your memory I see. As any good Cub fan should.

He's hardly the whipping boy. Actually, I always get the feeling of fighting the crowd when I advocate Floyd starting over him. It seems like you have more than a few on your side, and maybe there is a reason you are fighting a crowd. People here are ripping his average. His average was .300 at the start of the game. If your average can drop 70 points in 1 day, you have not had enough at bats base any decisions on. I miss the good old days when we could unite in our hatred of Macias, Neify, or BOOM BOOM Bynum. lets all agree to hate cedeno I miss the good ol days when we hated Jacque.
-
Iowa is calling Matt. Do people realize that Matt is hitting nearly .300 right now? He's above league average. LOL. A .500ish OPS is above league average? IT'S 25 ABS!!! That's 1/8 of his AB's last year. It's not THAT small of a size. When an 0-6 drops you 60 points on your batting average, it's a small sample size.

Matt Murton is a big reason why. lol

It's been lost in an argument I'm admittedly perpetuating....:P
