    Just out of curiosity, of which radio app do you speak? Tunein Thanks

    And then?

    Darwin Barney is parts Korean and Japanese, but he from Portland.

    I get thoughts like that a lot. Like when the bullpen is self-destructing (most days), I think of all the guys sweating it out in the minors that never make it. I mean, these are the ones that made it? I don't think it's about 350 pitchers better than him so much as an absence of the right situation. Looking over most 5 starters and a lot of 4 and even 3 starters in the big leagues, I can't imagine that there's nobody willing to give him a big league deal. Keep in mind that Zambrano probably never need to lift a finger again and his family will be taken care of for generations. With this in mind, if he's not getting either offers from teams that he wants to pitch for or getting substantial offers from other teams, he might just as soon take a vacation, which could last anywhere from a few months to the rest of his life. One similar case I can recall is Jermaine Dye. When he was a free agent, he passed on a few offers, including one from the Cubs because he didn't think that he'd get sufficient playing time and I believe The Giants because the money offered wasn't worth relocating his family. I believe that Derrek Lee was another. He did have suitors but none that he had any interest in going to. I'm pretty sure The Brewers gave him a ring when Gamel went down.

    Dustin Geiger again becoming interesting. As I recall, last year he had one really good stretch but that was about it. This year, they seem to be playing him mostly at 1B, which takes away from any value he may or may not have.

    File this one over sure, why the hell not.

    As meaningless as this type of speculation is, it's still somewhat uplifting to see such a thing.

    As is the case with Sweeney, Borbon is several years younger than DeJesus and I wouldn't mind claiming him despite the surplus of LH OFs until DeJesus is inevitably traded between the time I hit "submit" and July 31st.

    Worst case scenerio, he'll be slightly better than Lillibridge/Ransom/Gonzalez/whatever junk passes through waivers over the next few weeks. Give me a lottery ticket over used toilet paper any day. There's also the option of a dreaded Theriot and/or Miles reunion.

    Soler had been the one of our top prospects exceeding expectations. Let him play now and give him the Rorschach later.

    That's what happens when you stay out all night celebrating your FSL Pitcher of the Week award. But at least he didn't walk anyone.

    Eh, Silva may wind up as a 25th man type as well. Shocked he's got 4 homers already. Did they scrap the idea of Silva as a 2B? If he could play both, he could be a useful 23-25 man, depending on his bat. He did get a 7 figure signing bonus as I recall. As for Andreoli, he's an interesting case. I'm not sure if his future is anything more than depth, but when you look at his numbers, you think of another Sam Fuld or Tony Campana. However, he's 6'1 215 lbs, so you'd expect at least some hint of power.

    Kind of weird seeing Vogelbach putting up the type of slash line that one would expect from Juan Pierre.
  15. Little Slide Rooter
    Some great trade targets, but any of them would require significantly depleting the farm system. Stanton and Price would certainly be worth it IMHO, but I don't know if they're quite ready to do that. We'd certainly have to start out with Baez, Almora, or Soler to get the ball rolling. Probably add at least 2 additional top 10-15 guys.

    :stickman: Well I suppose he can't be any worse than Littlefinger was. Herpes can't be any worse than the clap, but neither are desirable, and both are easily avoidable.

    Cabrera is living proof that just because a guy has great stuff a decent BB/K ratio (mostly) they still need to avoid giving up runs.
  18. Little Slide Rooter
    Hopefully Ian Stewart shows signs of life and we don't have to worry about any more bums buying themselves any amount of time. We're stuck with one of the bums (Ransom or Gonzalez) even after Stewart comes back. There's always going to be one of these guys on a team. However, they should be either a defensive stud or have a good enough bat to make up for it. These guys offer neither.
  19. Little Slide Rooter
    Calm down. We have Cody Ransom now for some reason.
  20. Little Slide Rooter
    At least they tried, so bully for them.
  21. Little Slide Rooter
    Facetious or not, at this point I'd take it and run.

    So we're already at the making moves for the sake of making moves stage.
  24. Little Slide Rooter
    3 games. But I'm just looking for things to get mildly excited over.

    Looking over I Cub stats, in a small sample size, Yoanner Negrin has a very nice line of 7.2. IP, 2/13 BB/K 0.00 ERA and 0.78 WHIP. Plus in his mugshot he looks insanely like Angel Guzman, so there's that.
