    I think that was fairly obvious when they signed Booker *sigh I'm fairly certain they'll draft one on the first day.

    It's pretty amazing how everybody just assumes he's been horrible, especially in comparison with other commissioners. There's quite a gulf between assuming someone is horrible and saying they're the best ever. Yes, but my point is it's amazing how blindly people follow the assumption that Selig has been horrible. Most everybody says he's horrible and then they offer no good reason why. And quite frankly, given the history of the position, I'm not sure there's anybody who has clearly been better.

    Right now. But whose to say they will be valued as high in July? And who is to say there will be something out there we'd rather have in July? I don't like waiting until the deadline to make your moves. I want the best team possible ASAP. I'm not dying to trade these guys, but their value is not guaranteed over time. I don't see any realistic deals on the horizon that they would be better used for. Is there going to be some solid SS, or ace starter that comes available to fill the needs? And would those guys be the difference in getting it done? Possibly. But we don't know. And what we do know (or think) is that these guys could get the Cubs a very good offensive player now - something they definitely need.

    The only guy? I thought there was somebody else around.

    A CF hitting leadoff? Are you sure? Lou explicitly said they had no other choice but to hit the CF 8th.

    A lot of people involved with the Sox organization grossly overvalue Crede.

    If Dempster implodes and Lieber pulls a fat that still leaves the Cubs with the same exact rotation they had last year, Zambrano, Lilly, Hill, Marquis and Marshall. They also have a couple other guys who could probably make some emergency starts and give you typical emergency start type performance.

    Calling them our three "top" pitching prospects is the same as calling Roberts an "all star." It's all contextual and doesnt' really matter. What matters is how they grade out as prospects. They're only "top" prospects because they're in our system. In reality, none of them are A prospects. Yeah, but it's all we really have, in terms of prospects potentially able to step in relatively soon OR prospects that are going to hae some trade value. Trading them now on a good player who is arguably very redundant and doesn't address the teams major holes could very easily leave the team damn near crippled if the precarious starting pitching balance falls apart AND if they need to make key trades by the deadline. I think the concept that this leaves the cupboard bare is a bit overblown. The Cubs one advantage over most teams remains money. And with money, it is quite possible, and rather easy, to restock a farm quickly.

    Yeah, we're on the verge of falling out of the srping training playoff race. Unacceptable. There are only 2.5 weeks left to gain ground, time is running out.

    He's white dummy.
  13. jersey cubs fan
    Walking away from the table is often the best decision somebody could make. Suggesting you couldn't possibly have known the pain of Cubs failures if you think they should walk away from this deal is absurd.

    Don't know about perfect, but definitely the type of guy I'd like to see them get. Good to compete for first job, probably no chance of actually handling it himself. Don't have to spend a pick on a RB.

    Does he realize he lives in Chicago? Also, the Cubs are going to have only 79 home games that season because of the 2 @ US Cellular. The who concept sucks. Lets hope it never happens. Where do you get the idea that the Cubs are only getting 79 home games because of the 2 @ US Cellular Field? All teams have 81 home games or is there something I am missing here?? Yeah, that didn't make any sense to me. The only thing I could think is he believes there's going to be a Who concert in Wrigley that will force the Cubs to play 2 home games in US Cellular.

    All this talk of 2 trades occured around the time tickets went on sale and the CBOE tickets went up for auction. It's important to create a feeling that this could be the year in order to sell those tickets at the highest possible price.

    I assume by the other thread, you mean "The Infamous 2nd Trade" thread. That thread was basically asking what the original two trades were and what happened to the second trade. I am assuming the 2nd deal (whatever it was) is dead. This post is wondering what moves will happen as a result of the Roberts deal. So you just wanted to create a new thread about the same subject for no good reason?
  18. jersey cubs fan
    I'll drink to his health.
  19. jersey cubs fan
    you can't really be this dense. making completely unprompted inferences of another posters racism wouldn't constitute an attempt to derail the thread? has it been your experience that people usually have no issues with these kinds of allegations? He was comparing the player to Ty Cobb.
  20. jersey cubs fan
    Well this thread wouldn't warrant it considering the person who started the thread brought it up. huh? How are you going to give an award for derailing a thread to someone who was actually discussing the thread's original post? Unless you work for Rawlings, that doesn't make sense. I believe Cro Magnon was referring to the potshot Geech took at OMC. And oddly enough, this may be the only post in NSBB history that was not immediately derailed. And I believe wolf is saying that post was directly related to the thread topic, and therefore in no way shape or form could be construed as derailing the thread.

    So they'll get the first groundball out even sooner?
  22. jersey cubs fan
    Are the Flyers pulling a Mets?
  23. jersey cubs fan
    Leadoff isn't a position. However, Jim Hendry is a bad GM who has routinely focused his attentions on secondary needs instead of focusing on what really matters. And because of that, it could make perfect sense that he wants Roberts specifically because he's a leadoff hitter.

    He's going to be a career AAAer unless he winds up on some low budget teams that loses a guy or two to injury and can't find anybody else. I'm all for giving guys like him jobs on the major league bench. I believe benches should, first and foremost, be for pinch hitters, not defensive replacements. It's one of the reasons I hate the 12 man pitching staff, because it causes some teams to put all their bench help into dandy little glove men. I also don't believe pinch hitter is strictly a veterans job. I would much rather pay a kid like this $1 million for 3 years of acceptable bench service than spend $1m+ every year on replacable junk. I just don't see a fit with Micah and the Cubs.

    The fact that Theriot sucks and Soriano does not, sort of throws a wrench in that theory though.
