    everybody should play every position.
  2. abuck1220
    that's my problem with it too. it's just like the maddux/izturis trade...dump someone i don't care about dumping, but what we're getting back is even worse.
  3. abuck1220
    i probably would have waited to make sure i got fukudome before i traded jones.
  4. abuck1220
    if the cubs' only OF option is fukodome, and they somehow end up not getting him, they will have a really bad OF next year.
  5. abuck1220
    people will complain if they want. also, i'm not as upset about losing jones as i am infante taking up a spot on the roster. it's like the maddux deal...getting rid of a guy i have no problem with getting rid of, but getting worse roster filler in return. i would have preferred just trading jones for a C+ prospect and eating half the $.

    hendry is going to have a boner for "versatility" this offseason, i can just tell.
  7. abuck1220
    no way matsui's getting three years from anyone.
  8. abuck1220
    he may not be terrible, but it's crazy to think about dumping $40 mil on him. any number of guys could give you comparable production for less than a million bucks.
  9. abuck1220
    So they miss the playoffs, but maybe the rest of the guys learn how to play together and grow into a TEAM. i'm confused...that's the result you want?
  10. abuck1220
    they could have had a 1-2 punch of hamels/myers last year if they weren't idiots. maybe they would have won a game in the playoffs if they weren't starting kyle kendrick in game 2.
  11. abuck1220
    yeah, i wonder who we have to thank for that.
  12. abuck1220
    :evil:
  13. abuck1220
    yeah, i would like hendry, for once, to stay out of the FA reliever market...but i'm not sure he can help himself.
  14. abuck1220
    no.
  15. abuck1220
    ouchers.
  16. abuck1220
    you're still crying about this?
  17. abuck1220
    "he was an all-star 8 years ago" is the new "he led the league in hitting for two months" and "he had the fourth highest average with runners in scoring position among guys with 100 strikeouts."
  18. abuck1220
    at least giving arod $30 mil/year would be overpaying for someone good for once.
  19. abuck1220
    is there a baseball comedy hall of fame?
  20. abuck1220
    absolutely. he's still two years away from being a FA, right?
  21. abuck1220
    and this is where the $2.5 mil for blanco, $3-4 mil for eyre, etc really comes back to bite you. there's not really anyone worth spending $15 mil on, so you might as well pony up an extra $10 or so and get arod.
  22. abuck1220
    damn.
  23. abuck1220
    all i know is that we are about to enter a golden era for firejoemorgan.
  24. abuck1220
    exactly. and he'll know it's a safe move because people love that little guy.
  25. abuck1220
    clearly baltimore's problem the past few seasons is an overabundance of starting pitchers.
