There's a 48 hour window for all trade talk, this deal went down Wednesday morning so any and all discussion revolving around the deal must cease and desist ASAP. -
We can stop the Tejada Talk
jersey cubs fan replied to E.J.'s topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
That's a scary wrist injury for a guy who already lost a bunch of power this season. Tejada's production for 2008 is very uncertain right now, and I think what it would take to get him still would not come down (remember, Angelos won't permit Tejada to be dumped, and he has stopped them from trading Tejada at all before). Yeah, this is what I think. Lee lost power after a broken wrist. Matsui has next to no power after a broken wrist. Choi lost power after a broken wrist. Tejada doesn't have a lot of power left, and he's already relatively old for a middle infielder. The reason you get him is for production right now. Getting him for 2008 reduces his value considerably. But I doubt his trading price is much cheaper. And there's really no way he gets traded while injured. It doesn't happen. -
No, Barrett inexplicably threw the ball behind the runner. To imitate Barrett, Howry would have had to turn (right after catching the ball) and inexplicably throw the ball behind the runner without even running at the runner. Barrett's play was downright dumb and was a play that a little leaguer would make. Howry got unlucky that the tag missed Lofton by a couple inches. it was a bad play Unlucky =/= bad. Because it wasn't unlucky. There never should have been a threat of missing it by inches.

Can we send Theriot down already?
jersey cubs fan replied to Butterscup1679666578's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
He doesn't need work in AAA, he needs to be used as a utility player, not an everyday SS. -
Depends very much on ownership, but I'm not feeling optimistic so I'll say next May. Ownership will change hands sometime in the first quarter of 2008. By then it will be too late to make a change and Trib/McDonough will not bother with an overhaul at the last minute. The owner will allow lame duck Hendry to start the season, but will use the first sign of trouble as a reason to fire him, then they will spend the rest of the year figuring out what to do for 2009. Thanks Andy.
-
If the Trib thought a buyer would find more value in the team after Hendry was fired, then possibly. But I highly doubt it. If the sale is delayed, there's a good chance he starts 2008 as a lame duck GM until things are straightened out.

.258 obp 579 ops

And yet, still just 14th in the NL in walks.

On pace for 14, I think he might flirt with 18 or 19. Well, he's still hitting the ball well. I'd like to think that he will continue to regain strength in the wrist as the year continues. I think he will get to 20 eventually (or close). Back when he was with Florida, he put up better second half power numbers too if i'm remembering right. In any case, I'm still happy with the OPS and RBI figures. And with Aaramis back and providing power, I think we can live with Lee's non power. I can see him ending up with numbers similar to Drew with LA last year. I doubt playing everyday will help him regain strenghth. He's been good overall, but I don't think they can live without getting more power from him. Any resurgence is likely going to see a resurgent Lee.

104. There's still a small chance at that number that Lou sends him out there another inning, although it's not as likely as if it were Z or Marquis. Previous high was 110 back in early May. It would be quite a stretch to have him start another inning at this point.

Lilly getting his shite together. He's got to be done though.

Geovany Soto is the Only Cub in Futures Game
jersey cubs fan replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
I hope he doesn't play in it. -
I think it's a big naive to think Lou wasn't trying to get Jim to get rid of him long before the incident.
-
I didn't know it wasn't. Directv's EI package had it on the schedule when I set it for record this morning.
-
Why do people think Gameday is accurate? I see ^^^ those types of comments all the time. I've seen balls to Cubs hitters that were well within the zone as well. People need to stop focusing on umps and calls and thinking the Cubs are getting screwed.
-
His DL time is less of a concern than the Cubs outfielders' MIA time.
-
? He has been having a rough time with 3B of late. Is this really accurate? I'm asking this to anyone...I've seen him bobble a couple of plays, but he's had at the very least twice as many stellar grabs and saves. I think he has played pretty well at 3rd filling in and if recall he played mostly ss with Atlanta until the arrival of one Rafael Furcal. Realistically though, even if he's somehow a step down from Theriot or Izturis, the offensive advantage would be huge, considering the Cubs' SS are currently at about a 540 OPS. If he just puts up a 750 OPS there that's worth any downgrade in defense, and more.
-
To give DLee a little rest.
-
I don't understand why Lou would try and use any of them every day. Theriot has been as bad as any Cubs hitter has been for the past two weeks. He can't play everyday. He's still better than Isturiz... Not since he started playing everyday at SS. His OPS as a SS is sub 500. He's a utility player who is killing the team by playing SS every day. They both suck, for sure, but Theriot has to stop playing every day.
-
Which is stupid. Bradley is a hot head, but gives you decent production for his contract. I could care less about him playing the race card. It is moronic, but hey this is a free country and he is entitled to his opinion. All I am saying is if the Cubs were that desperate to get rid of Barrett, there is no chance they pick up a guy who has a history as combustible as Bradley. I don't see how the two are related. They got rid of Barrett because Lou hated his defensive lapses and baserunning gaffes. And he can't put up with that at catcher. They didn't get rid of him because Zambrano wanted to fight him.

Blame Provis. Prior to the pitching change he said the Cubs were far from done, with 2 on and nobody out. That's a stupid thing to think.
