    Where is all this griping about Pagan this year? i'm not going to go digging up quotes, but he's often the first person people want to send down when discussing future transactions The first people 99% of the people want gone is Jones, or maybe Eyre. Pagan has been on the list because he's more realistic, given his option status, and he's never been all that good. I think you're making a mountain out of a molehill.

  3. jersey cubs fan
    people love to hate Pagan, but I don't really see why: .304/.371/.518/.889 with 2 2B, 1 3B, 2 HR, 6 RBI, 6 BB, 12 K in 56 AB's. Not sure what else you want from your 5th OF He's had a great start to 2007. If he maintained anywhere even close to those numbers it would be a miracle. But he's had a pretty long career which suggests his numbers won't be anywhere near those levels. But he could be a decent 5th OF.

    When all is said and done, Barrett is going to get the majority of catcher at bats. But he's not an everyday player and he's very clearly messed up in the head right now. He's fighting with coaches and players, repeatedly in the middle of controversy and bad plays. Sitting for a couple days isn't going to kill the team.

    Or, they could just RELEASE SCOTT EYRE. Yeah, if they go back to 12 pitchers and call somebody up. The question is who do they call up.
  6. jersey cubs fan
    Why would he be available? Burrell could give you 20-30 hit over .280 and OBP over .380 as well.
  7. jersey cubs fan
    Burrell for Jones and Eyre could be interesting. Burrell and Philly have never gotten along, even less than they did with Abreu. He's a bit overpaid and has a NTC, but those things can be negotiated. He's struggling a little this year but he's a good bet to be a 115-125 OPS+ guy and he could really help the Cubs lineup.

    He's 35 year old and his contract expires at 36. I'm sure there's a strong chance he'll be willing to retire when he's done with the Cubs, whether that is today or next year. He's got millions guaranteed, and for him to earn another contract he'd have to work his butt off.

    I think it will depend on what happens during the next 3 days. If the starters go deep and the bullpen stays untaxed, they may call up Ward or Moore. Ward should be okay to pinch hit within a couple days if he's starting at DH in AAA. I would say there is an outside shot that Cedeno could be called up.
  10. jersey cubs fan
    If anything, the DH makes it easier to deal with fewer bench players. You don't need to pinch hit for any pitchers, or make any double switches, so a 3 man bench is more tolerable.

    Lou hates Barrett. He said something to him after Barrett was picked off, and Barrett decided to argue with him. I think he's looking for any reason not to play the guy.
  12. jersey cubs fan
    If he means because Dempster was unavailable, I have no problem with the comment. But the staff is 13, the bullpen is only 8. Yeah, I said only 8.
  13. jersey cubs fan
    A truly "butters-esque" comment. I can definitely hear Butters saying the same thing.

    he had one poor inning and was hurt by a derosa error. His WHIP for the game was below 1.00, he just got unlucky today. absolutely. He was fine today. He was doing great until he couldn't throw strikes anymore. Yeah, I'm not saying he had a great outing or was without any blame for that inning. But he was fine overall. The offense almost let him down, but squeezed out just enough.

    12 games before the next Milwaukee series. I'm hoping for 8-4, but would take 7-5.

    BOOM GOES THE DYNAMITE
  18. jersey cubs fan
    Keep it going Bobby, we need this one.
  19. jersey cubs fan
    LOL. That is funny. The double switch was the right move. He wanted Howry to pitch the 9th. If he doesn't double switch he has to pinch hit for Howry in the bottom to the 8th. This is true, I was not aware he had Howry in mind for the save at the time. Much smarter double switch move than a typical Baker version.

    LOL. That is funny. That would be cool though.
  21. jersey cubs fan
    He's not playing that often. Theriot is playing just as much and doing no better. We just have to hope Lou puts in the right guy on any given day.
  22. jersey cubs fan
    20/20 hindsight... it's the wrist injury that did it; otherwise he's a 30 HR, 900 OPS guy consistently. I don't know about consistently. He did that once in his career. Way to go Cesar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  23. jersey cubs fan
    Has Lou done anything to show you he knows how to manage a bench in a close game? First you have to GET TO extras. And letting relievers bat isn't a good way to do that. Score the run first, worry about the remaining situation next. You pinch hit for the reliever if it gets there in the bottom of the inning. You don't take out our best damn bat today just because you have a weird double switch fetish. The best part with Dusty is he'd double switch with the pitcher up 4th or 5th next inning. Which you do if you plan on throwing the reliever another inning. But then he'd pull the guy anyway.

    Lee isn't going to put up a .413 OBP this year. His numbers are plummetting, to the tune of a 750 OPS in June. I don't think you can project numbers for the rest of the season based on a month. Players have good months and bad months. I can project he won't maintain his numbers. He had a fluke start based off an insance BABIP that was unsustainable. He has not sustained it and his numbers are falling fast.

    Defensive upgrade to preserve the 1 run deficit.
