    Tough to really compare, but the first thing that jumped into my mind is Adam Dunn. Some things he's one of the best in the league at (Dunn-hitting homers/getting on base, Wallace-playing defense/rebounding) but somethings that he'll be one of the worst in the league at (Dunn-hitting for average/striking out/defense, Wallace-scoring/free throw shooting). IMO the strenghts of both players far out weigh their weaknesses and make them both very valuable players.

    The hot rumor is Tyson to the Hornets for P.J. Brown and J.R. Smith. Another possibility would be a sign and trade with Atlanta -- Tyson for Harrington. The most recent one I've been hearing is Chandler/Gordon for West/Smith. It's an intriguing deal, needless to say. Where'd you hear that? I dont know what I think about that deal. I think I would prefer Brown (and his expiring contract) and Smith or a sign and trade with Atlanta for Harrington instead of trading Gordon with Chandler for West and Smith.

    My feelings exactly. At least I don't have to waste my whole summer putting so much time into watching and rooting for the Cubs. (Although watching and rooting for the Cubs is the best part of summer)

    I'd rather have Al Harrington, although getting Wallace would also effectively cripple the Pistons.
  5. ChiCubsFan
    Yeah, I think we need a little more offense than Ben Wallace and we already have plenty of defense. I like Harrington a lot and Pryzbilla I haven't seen play much. There's a poll on NBA.com asking who had the best draft. Bulls lead at 35%, with Portland second at 27%.
  6. ChiCubsFan
    Now that the draft is over, what do you guys think the Bulls should do? They obviously need to address the PF/C positions. Who should be available as a FA? How about Ben Wallace? He would fit in well on a defensive-minded Bulls team. I know KG has been talked about in other threads. I'm undecided on it. It would likely cost at least Deng/Gordon, Thomas, and Chandler. Maybe both Deng and Gordon. Not sure if I want to give up that much young talent for one player. So what do you think Pax will do or what do you want to see him do?
  7. ChiCubsFan
    In the actual article it's typed as Carlos. Its obviously just a typo. Jeez, have you never made a mistake in your life? People are finding everything and anything to rip anything associated with the Cubs about.

    You know what made me feel so happy yet so sad all at once. When I realized today that I have complete confidence in the decision making of John Paxson and zero confidence in Jim Hendry & Company. I was thinking I really don't want Aldridge and would prefer Thomas, Bargnani, or Roy. But then I reached the conclusion that if Pax feels Aldridge is the man to take at #2, then I'm happy to have Aldridge aboard. Kind of refreshing.

    I don't think abolishing the leagues is necessary, but it would be nice to have one series against each AL team each year. Interleague could be year-round. I think he just meant abolishing the current leagues. I think it sounds like a great idea. Obviously there would still need to be leagues so they can have the same playoff format, all star game, etc. I wouldn't mind having the Cubs and Sox in the same division. Then it would be a REAL rivalry.
  11. ChiCubsFan
    This thread makes me sad. It just shows how completely incompetent Jim Hendry is.

    As would I. I dont know exactly what hte foul was, but mavericks were all over him... And whoever just tried to call that timeout is an idiot. Nobody was "all over him." In fact, he wasn't even touched in any way that would result in a foul call.
  13. ChiCubsFan
    As would I.

    He's thrown a few breaking balls but with absolutely no accuracy... WOW.

    And they would laugh and then hang up the phone. I guess that depends on how good EPatt is and can be. People around here already have him as the stater in 07 or 08, and he has put up really nice numbers in the minors. The Marlins def. will not find a deal that includes as much major league ready talent as that. What source do you have says no team would not offer more than that? Yeah, those guys are close to or are major league ready, but their ceilings are not very high. The Marlins aren't going to trade one of the best young players in the game for a few average ballplayers. Besides, they don't need EPatt. They have Dan Uggla at 2b. Realistically, an offer for Cabrera would have to be something like Pie, Marshall, Pawelek, and Moore.

    Hernandez is on pace to throw less than 200 innings. Well he did have a pretty rough start to the season. 6 of his first 8 starts lasted 5 or less innings. His last 6, however, have lasted 6 or more innings each. I don't think he's a lock to get to 200 innings, but it's definitely something to think about. You don't want to rely on him as one of your top starters and then not have him for the fantasy playoffs.
  18. ChiCubsFan
    Also pick up Billingsley. He's a stud. I'd also look to trade King Felix in a few weeks. The Mariners are probably gonna be shutting him down in August/September when he reaches 200 IP. Just keep an eye on that, and when he reaches 150 or so, send him packing. Also whats the point of having 10 SP if you can only start 3 of them?

    How is he "not good at getting on base"? He's got a .346 OBP this season (at the age of 24). I'd say .346 is good, ecspecially when you consider how young he is. He doesn't strike out too much (26 Ks in 242 ABs so far this year), has a decent OBP, has some good power, and a ton of speed. If this is the best he'll get, then I don't think he would command "an arm and a leg", but he's very young and improving. He also has stolen bases at a 81.5% success rate over his career. You think .346 is "good.... :roll: . .346 is pretty average for a "leadoff hitter" with his speed and pop. Not to mention Crawford career OBP is .323, so...as of right now...if I was the DRays I would jumped on Santana/Crawford deal before the Angels reconsider. Having Kazmir/Santana at the top of the rotation, would finally give the DRays pitching hope for the not so distant future. Unless it's a decent offer, I would pass on Crawford. First of, the whole rolling eyes thing is getting old and its unnecessary. .346 for this team would be great. Beats any OF we have. I never said I wanted him to lead off, either BTW. I think saying his career OBP is lower than his current, is not a good way to prove your arguement. If it wasn't, I'd be worried. I think it shows signs that he's developing and maturing into a good hitter. I expect his OBP to continue to rise. The reason I said that his OBP was good (other than the fact that it's better than practically anyone on our team) is that he is very young, and only going to get better.

    Wow, what happened to Huff??? Hitting below .200 with 3 homers...roids? He's a notorious slow-starter plus he's had some injuries to deal with this year. He definitely isn't the hitter he once was, but he certainly isn't this bad either.
  22. ChiCubsFan
    Well this year he's at 3.65 P/PA, ahead of guys like Vernon Wells, Hank Blalock, Victor Martinez, Mark Loretta, Kevin Mench, Magglio Ordonez, Pudge Rodriguez, Aramis Ramirez, Jacque Jones, Brian Giles, Michael Barrett, Jimmy Rollins, Matt Holliday.
  23. ChiCubsFan
    Yes, but he's young and still improving. I agree, however, that it probably wouldn't be worth it for what we would have to trade. Nonetheless, he's going to be a special player IMO and I would love to have him on the Cubs as a LF or CF.
  24. ChiCubsFan
    I wish I could watch the game, but either way I'm very excited for the kid's debut.
  25. ChiCubsFan
    Ecspecially with the way their middle relief has been all year.
