It's funny how little chance they have to make the playoffs despite a fairly good record, while the Bulls are just a hair outside and horrible. They aren't completely comparable, because of the overtime rules, and how they prop up many records. But it's been a fun season. It's nice that they've had so many sell-outs, and are moving in the right direction. But they still need to find more offense and stabilize the defense. And Khabi is still grossly overpaid.

Z wants to be on White Sox before career ends
jersey cubs fan replied to PrimeTime's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
When all is said and done, I probably wouldn't mind seeing him on the White Sox when his career is coming to an end, 6-8 years from now. The Cubs will have gotten his best years anyway. -
Red Sox Might Refuse to Go to Japan
jersey cubs fan replied to vance_the_cubs_fan's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Wow, it must be pretty sweet to be able to demand such compensation for going on a business trip. Insane. Didn't feel the least bit of sympathy for the coaches. -
Red Sox Might Refuse to Go to Japan
jersey cubs fan replied to vance_the_cubs_fan's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
But I'm pretty sure the networks might want a refund if the games aren't played. Networks? What could they be paying for games that will air at 3am? -
HOw do you know? I thought that the draft date had not been finalized yet? Regardless, you can prerank your players. I thought it was supposed to be the weekend of March 29. If that's the case, I will not be able to do it. I guess my real question was, where on the site is the option to prerank eligible players?

Cintron Looking Less Likely to Make Roster
jersey cubs fan replied to vance_the_cubs_fan's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Unless he has a clause in his contract that asks for his release if he's not on the major league roster by a certain date. I think that's when fate forces their hand. -
Woo, another 10 days Who is we all?

I will not be able to do the live draft. Is there an option to prerank players?

Not all "first years" are equal. And score runs? Are you kidding? How is that a good measure?

Cedeno's chances of clearing waivers
jersey cubs fan replied to biittner77's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
This reminds me of the story around Cedeno's initial addition to the 40-man roster. I thought at the time it was completely unnecessary, considering how young he was and how bad he was, there was no chance somebody would take him in the rule 5 and keep him on the 40-man all season. Anybody remember the details? -
Wuertz would be a decent trading chip, as long as he's not just given away. The Cubs have used up most of his cheapest years. And quite possibly they've used up his best years. He's coming off 3.5 fairly consistent solid years, a pretty nice achievement for most any reliever, aside from the elite. That's not to suggest I want him dealt, or that I think Hendry would be able to get a lot for him. But the Cubs have somewhat of a surplus of solid bullpen arms, and teams do often overvalue relievers. It could be a smart move to try and improve one of the team's weak points by including Wuertz in some trade this year. But do you trade Wuertz with Howry and Eyre free agents? Isn't Wood on a 1-year deal too? I do like Ascaino, Hart, and Petrick to go along with Marmol, but Wuertz has clearly had more success than any, including Marmol. I think I might rather trade a prospect, who might have more value than Wuertz anyway, at least to other teams looking to get cheap production. I trade him if the return is significant. I think it's a lot easier to find another Wuertz than most other needs. Wuertz is going to be making his own cashe very soon anyway.

Fixed....jeeze, what a baby! No, yo momma is the baby.

Okay, seriously. It's March 18. Can somebody please fix the title?

Aren't we told here to attack the argument and not the person? This is insulting to people who like his show. Please refrain from personal attacks. Murph is an idiot and does not post here.

If Theriot, Soriano, Lee bat 1-2-3 all year, what is the likely number of times Lee will come to the plate with nobody on base?
-
bale... c'mon man, try to keep up. For those of us still living in March, it's kind of difficult, futureman.

I hate you, that was my line.

You know, I could picture that happening. Actually, I would put a little money on that very thing happening at least once this year. I'm sure he'll blow more than one save, and lose more than one game as well. But I'm also fairly confident that he'll be successful at the same rate or better than most closers, and the team won't suffer one bit from having him in there.

I was having a hard time understanding how or why this deal would get done. The state absolutely should not be in the business of sports stadium ownership. Any potential Cubs buyer would have to be nuts to pay anywhere close to $1B for the Cubs without Wrigley. I understand Zell was probably hoping he'd get close to the same number for the Cubs with or without the building, but it just didn't add up. Hopefully this dies, and the next owner gets everything and can move forward with a financially viable entity and relatively clean balance sheet that does not require cutbacks in spending. But just because "it's on life support" doesn't mean that it's over.

Are you talking about the time when Dusty said he was unavailable due to fatigue? But then waited for Ryan Dempster to put 2 runners on base and then summon Hawkins from the pen, with a rushed warm up session, only to blow it against the Mets? It's not that it doesn't matter who closes, what doesn't matter are the absurd qualities that were listed earlier in this thread. Howry's experience does not give him a lick of advantage of Marmol or Wood. Their lack of saves, a made up stat, does not mean they can't close. If Wood somehow can't handle the position mentally and starts to blow games, replace him with Howry or Marmol. But you don't just make decisions about jobs based on who has the most experience doing it. That's the dumbest possible option.

Not really.

Lou feels he has to bat the CF 8th, Hendry feels he has to get more LH bats but at the same time a RH hitting CF. Why the heck do these guys insist on painting themselves into corners so often?

The Value of Joe Crede
jersey cubs fan replied to vance_the_cubs_fan's topic in General Baseball Talk
I've heard Cubs fans mention Ramirez in the same category as David Wright. Just goes to show you. Ramirez is much closer to Wright's category than Crede is to Ramirez's. Aramis and Wright are in the upper echelon of 3B. Wright is better, but Crede has no grounds for being anywhere near that list.
