    It's interesting that you brought up Jacque Jones, because that's exactly what I thought of. Rolen doesn't want to be in St. Louis, so STL trades him out of the country and to a crappy team for a very respectable return. The Cubs trade Jacque Jones (who doesn't want to be in Chicago) to a team that's lined up to win a World Series as soon as this year for very little return. The difference is that Jacque Jones, at his best, isn't all that bad, but is quite often all that bad. While Scott Rolen is often extremely good. It doesn't make a lot of sense for Toronto if 2007 Rolen is here for good. But if you have a reasonable expectation for some improvement, it's a very good move for them.

    Did the Cubs make a move over the weekend that I am not aware of? There's no reason to expected increased production from SS. Theriot is going to play most of the time and more likely than not continue to perform at the low level he, and the rest of the SS crew, performed at in 2007.

    It would be very difficult to fail to reproduce last year's CF numbers, methinks. Should be stronger on either side, with Sori a full year in his best defensive position and Fukudome instead of the madness that was RF last year. I'm actually starting to warm up to our outfield for the first time in years. If Pie even hits marginally it will be much, much better from what I can see. The Cubs got an aggregate .710 OPS from CF last year. I don't think Pie is going to be much, much better than that. Just my opinion. Yeah, it's still very much in question whether or not they see improved production from CF, and it's not a sure thing that RF will be improved. RF wasn't bad last year, despite all the people who think it was terrible. They had the 6th highest OPS and the highest OBP of any NL team's RF. I wouldn't assume Fukudome & Co. is going to significantly outpace that number. Fukudome with a little help from Murton may be a good bet to do better than that, but it's no guarantee.

    pure genius

    Not only do they have no motivation, there's just no reason to consider that. They traded Cabrera and Willis for financial reasons, and got back multiple prospects. Maybe one day, when Hanley is making money, they'll move him. But it's going to be for a much better package than what you suggested.

    And what do we get out of this deal?? Oh, that's right. Jim Hendry's job security. ](*,) Movement in the marketplace that may open up options for Hendry to fill the real hole, SS. The opportunity to move on Hendry's real target, Bedard, after B_More rearranges their roster with the Roberts trade.
  7. jersey cubs fan
    That is a very good point.
  8. jersey cubs fan
    Hopefully they bring him up as a September call-up, then he pulls a Ben Christenson while warming up in that first weekend in Cincy.

    I'm not saying, I'm just saying.

    Is it assumed Braun will be an acceptable LF? Has he played much out there?
  11. jersey cubs fan
    I found it rather disappointing myself.
  12. jersey cubs fan
    Were there rumors about this earlier? I'm having deja vu.
  13. jersey cubs fan
    What if Hendry never intended to trade for Roberts, but he conspired with the man who gave him his golden parachute contract to build a market for Roberts, which was conspiculously quiet the first two months of the offseason?
  14. jersey cubs fan
    Ned would probably ask for a lot, and Hendry would probably offer a lot. I'm not sure I'd like to see the outcome on this one.
  15. jersey cubs fan
    Maybe post industrial revolution, not sure about all history though.
  16. jersey cubs fan
    Wait. You are comfortable enough with Fuld to hold up the necessary hitting attributes for a 5th OF, but not Cedeno?
  17. jersey cubs fan
    That is horribly, horribly inaccurate. But it's a pretty cool claim to make.
  18. jersey cubs fan
    It's not impressive to me. In only 2 of them, did they win 90 or more of their first 162 games, and both of them were pre-1990.
  19. jersey cubs fan
    The point is, we already know they are a horribly run franchise.
  20. jersey cubs fan
    ](*,) Your plans on returning to this league for the 2008 season. :roll: Oh, I'll plan on bringing my mediocrity back for 2008.
  21. jersey cubs fan
    Free agent? I still think the Cubs will do whatever they can to not have 3 lefties in the rotation. I think that bothered Lou last year.
  22. jersey cubs fan
    I realize that I'm nitpicking a single point out of this, but this just isn't true. The US believed that Al Qaeda and Bin Laden were behind the 1993 boming of the WTC and the 1998 bombings of 2 embassies. How can Republicans question Clintons's response to Bin Laden, if nobody had ever heard of him? Yes, "nobody" goes too far. The public is one thing, but people knew of Bin Laden.
  23. jersey cubs fan
    No assumptions necessary when determing the Cubs are a horribly run franchise.
  24. jersey cubs fan
    Is he that giant lefthander? Doesn't he have a tougher time than Lieber striking guys out and keeping them off base? He may be healthier and younger, but I'm not sure he's much of an option. Is he that much more of a ground ball pitcher or something?
  25. jersey cubs fan
    yeah, but you watched him "tight-rope" in the games last season right? what makes you think that is going to be any easier to watch if he takes the mound in the 1st? it will be a disaster...probably on par or worse than wade miller... just say no to dempster in any situation...lets trade him if possible Reading comprehension is a good thing. I don't see how it's not fair. He also pitched a lot of those innings as a fresh armed kid with no physical limitations. And he pitched a lot of his innings being protected in the bullpen. Ryan Dempster is what his career suggests he is, and his career numbers are a very good indicator of what you'd get if he came back to the rotation, not good.
