  1. Dear Hoff Please learn to play 3rd. Thanks in advnce.
  2. Thats a big fat who cares with Scales and Dempster due up.
  3. Nice job avoiding the big inning. We'll see if our offense is worth a damn tonight.
  4. We're low on options. The best the Cubs can hope for is either a young guy who could end up being a decent bench option some day or a mediocre veteran who may or may not have some gas left in the tank. I don't think Hendry will pursue a top flight option, so the best we can hope for is someone who is decent at best. Counsell and McGehee arent decent options. Id just as soon put Font and Freel at 3rd and sign Durham for 2nd.
  5. Actually, the team we're currently playing has a glut of guys who could be decent options at 3B. McGehee, Hall, and Counsell are all possibilities. They wouldnt trade us Hall and Id just assume keep what we have over McGehee and Counsell. The very thought of an infield of Theriot-Miles-Counsell makes me want to cry.
  6. I hope Hendry spends his evening on the phone with the GMs of the Orioles and Rockies, and maybe the Mariners and Marlins.
  7. Even if Lees neck injury doesnt DL him, its going to linger no question, so were going to need to make a trade. If we can get a guy like Atkins or Huff who can play both corner postions, that would be super.
  8. I still say make a trade.
  9. I cant wait to see how much we end up giving up for the third base equivelent of Phil Nevin.
  10. But will Farney be available? I'll bite.... what's a Farney ? Refer to my last post in the Gathright for Freel thread or http://deadspin.com/sports/top/ryan-freels-little-friend-193311.php
  11. You got it, we have another crazt one. I just hope Carlos Zambrano doesnt have to give him a white guy.
  12. I hate to say this, but if there is somethig wrong with Freel already, it may work to our advantage by forcing Hendry to make a trade sooner than later.
  13. Pedro Ramirez? Who's that? http://www.baseball-reference.com/minors/player.cgi?id=ramire002ped I know, I went all Jon Miller there.
  14. Soto for A Rod, BAM! Both teams problems solved, and everyone goes home happy.
  15. I dont Love it. I dont partiulcarly like it. But I dont hate it. Id much rather Freel or Scales who have yet to prove they can produce than Aaron Miles, whose proved that he cant. Oh yeah, and Free Koyie Hill! Without further adiu, Let the post Ramirez era begin. Lets hope Freels worht a damn. Theannoying part is that when healthy, Freel is an ideal leadoff hitter, and youd think Soriano would be an ideal number 3 hitter, but for some reason, Soriano just wets himself whenever taken out of leadoff. Almost like hes doing it to spite Lou for taking him out of his precious comfort zone to help the team.
  16. Entire AAA Pitching staff for Garrett Atkins.
  17. 4-6 weeks would have been OK. 6-8 minumum will require a trade, and since pretty much all of the potential suiters are FAs next year, I say Jim makes it happen soon.
  18. Someone help me out here. there was a guy, 2004 or 2005 Cubs Minor League Player of the year. 2B or 3B, and then, he got injured, may have been a broken leg and he was never heard from again.
