    I wouldn't trade Walker for Marquis. I definitely wouldn't trade walker to st. louis. come to think of it, I wouldn't trade walker.

    I think his back is telling him to retire.

    exactly. the price for kearns in no way inhibits Hendry from pulling off a blockbuster. I agree. If that original deal to get Kearns is true (who knows) then you aren't trading away a lot of high prized talent to get him. Worst case scenario, you have Murton and Kearns as your corner outfielders. That's not good, but it's better than what they have now (and at least has a chance to be productive). The other evaluator is whether Kearns can net you in trade more or less than Mitre and Nolasco would have netted. Personally, I think Kearns has more value than Mitre and Nolasco. Would the A's trade Mark Kotsay to the Cubs for Kearns? Would they trade Kotsay to the Cubs for Mitre and Nolasco? Not necessarily advocating a Kearns/Kotsay trade. I just know the A's want a power righty bat and Kotsay is a CF that can lead off. But, of the two trade proposals, I would imagine the A's would be more tempted with Kearns. That makes the trade even more worth it. I agree with you about the relative trade value of Kearns and Nolasco+Mitre, but I don't think Kearns is a Beane-guy. He Ks way too much. I'm willing to bet Beane doesn't care too much if Kearns ks.

    kerry wood got traded to baltimore?? Wood has better stuff than Burnett? Ha! It's Sunday night, man. Don't you have to go to work tomorrow? You shouldn't be liquored up this late. Burnett's raw stuff may be marginally better than Wood's. You seem to have the gift of hyperbole tonight. Burnett has better stuff than Wood? By what measure? Wood has far more ks/9 and a much better BAA. Wood has better stuff hands down. Other than your opinion, what basis do you have for Burnett having better stuff? Asking because I don't know, and too lazy to look for it, but what is the difference in K/BB? I think that Burnett has shown better control, but I can't say for sure. I didn't look at that since I don't consider it pertinent to the argument. Burnett does not have great control either though.

    are you sure it wasn't santa?

    Ryno, I'm worried about you!

    why would colorado fans go to houston to see a mediocre team get annihilated? Lets see, spend $1000 to go to houston and get humiliated or go snowboarding on 4 feet of fresh powder?

    the thing is though, the order of the lineup is much less a factor in runs scored than the players in it.

    yea, burnett is not a savior for st. louis (not that they need one). He is better than morris though.
  11. stitchface
    LOL, if you read last night's events you'll understand the skepticism you are about to see. Personally, I'll take it with a grain of salt mostly because it doesn't matter too much to me if its true or not.
  12. stitchface
    He will won't be starting? That sounds about right actually.
  13. stitchface
    I would be ticked off they are in dallas instead of somewhere nice.
  14. stitchface
    put up a picture of chicago! I think occams razor applies to this thread. one word - money.
  15. stitchface
    I though Philly was on his no trade list. Could be wrong. I thought he just wanted to go east. It seems odd that you can demand a trade and then refuse to go.
  16. stitchface
    So this is even worse huh? now you're trolling. why not put bartman or dusty up there?
  17. stitchface
    His new daddy is manny mota (mota mota)

    Vazquez looks like a good ticket to get Abreu with the Cubs dealing prospects and money. Someone else needs to put the details together - what would Arizona want?
  19. stitchface
    Vazquez to Philadelphia, Abreu to Cubs, Guzman, Pie and Walker to Arizona.

    I have to agree with Don here. Wilkerson and Bradley could be a fallback but the Cubs ought to try and do better than that. Wilkerson and Pierre would be very disappointing.
  21. stitchface
    Honestly Vance, why would you believe a rumor like that anyway? No one was hurt. The last thing you didn't mention is, Len was wrong or even Hendry was wrong.
  22. stitchface
    Personally I would trade Walker first for the impact RF and then look to replace him. To replace him first would be asinine.
  23. stitchface
    but he would have $10 million more guaranteed with the Cubs offer. When he becomes the next Alex Gonzalez at Chavez, he won't get those last two years worth of money. Yes, the difference is 10M. Do you think that when Furcal hits the FA market again (assuming he doesn't re-up with the Dodgers) that he won't command at least 10.5M/2 years? he's going to have no problem making 50M over 5 years after taking 39.5M/3 from the Dodgers. Maybe maybe not. how do you know he won't get hurt? We didn't sign AGonz did we? I thought we just inherited that contract in the trade.

    I thought Nomar was treated very well by Hendry.
  25. stitchface
    well hopefully you aren't one of the wood haters then because he is a very similar package. he has also been pretty mediocre away from home.
