    the cubs don't have to be beggars, that's the thing. walker would be just as capable as a leadoff guy next year, and he won't cost the cubs half the farm.

    article about baker's trip to see bradley. http://chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseball/cubs/cs-051206cubsbradley,1,7310414.story?coll=cs-cubs-headlines

    If the A's are offering Zito for Bradley, what should Hendry offer? the a's are offering zito for bradley?
  4. abuck1220
    And what if it's .326 like it was last year? That's the chances you have to take. At least it's about .200 points better than Patterson right? ;) why is that a chance you have to take? that makes no sense.
  5. abuck1220
    good lord, no. possibly our top three minor league arms for one year of a .680 OPS? if true, i have no faith in hendry. none.

    i've probably seen hill the most here (at least in the past year, when it suddenly turned on for him), and he's got great stuff. it's really not fair to say that he has one pitch...his fb is pretty good too, especially when it's paired w/ that curve. that being said, there's no way i consider him to be untouchable...and i'd guess that i'm his biggest fan here. however...the way this offseason's going, i'm not getting too excited for next year. and i'm concerned about the cubs' ability to afford a staff full of high priced arms a few years from now, and it'd be nice to have a good, cheap option like hill around.
  7. abuck1220
    i'll take walker, his better offensive production and reasonable contract over renteria, his inferior offensive production and long term, big $ contract.
  8. abuck1220
    if hendry trades walker now, it wouldn't be in keeping w/ his 'trade guys at their lowest point' philosophy. he's just trying to drag walker's value down a bit for consistency's sake.

    phillips says that prior is a bigger risk than burnett because burnett's had his problems 'fixed' and prior hasn't. dumbest thing ever said on cable tv?
  10. abuck1220
    get him, get him, get him.
  11. abuck1220
    i think it goes w/o saying that i'm hill's biggest fan here. but to say he's untouchable is crazy...especially when you just forked over 5 million bucks to glendon rusch to be in front of hill on the depth chart. and because i'm hill's biggest fan, i kinda want him traded. i'm just not sure that he'll ever get a chance here. hill for wilkerson. do it.
  12. abuck1220
    hill for wilkerson if all it takes is bush. and if it's swingmen they're after, the cubs can offer rusch. i love hill, and i want to see him get a chance to pitch. rfk would be perfect for him and his fly ball tendencies.
  13. abuck1220
    you gotta wonder how much hendry really wanted bradley after last offseason's purging of bad apples. it was kinf of a pipe dream.
  14. abuck1220
    if the cubs get involved, it's going to be to get pierre. it's pretty obvious that hendry thinks pierre > wilkerson.
  15. abuck1220
    if true, that shows how clueless the cubs really are. if they would rather part w/ walker than the equivalent of saarloos and some other 'prospect', then, well...
  16. abuck1220
    i still think blalock will bounce back from his subpar 2005. he just turned 25 in november, and he had .850+ OPS in 2003 and 2004. that being said, i don't see why the cubs would have any interest.
  17. abuck1220
    in addition to rfk, it's important to remember that the nl east, overall, isn't a great hitter's division. the central, on the other hand, w/ mil, hou, cin, is a pretty darn good hitter's division.
  18. abuck1220
    Well, at least there's a 50% chance of me not hating the cubs. Why not 75% which of Lugo, Wilkerson, and Gathright don't you like? gathright. decent obp, but mostly a product of his really high minor league ba, which i wouldn't count on him replicating in the bigs.

    that BA's going to like sweet signed in silver sharpie.
  21. abuck1220
    And it would be a terrible trade for the Cubs. they'd arguably be giving up more than boston did to get beckett.
  22. abuck1220
    not to mention the fact that hendry's wish list doesn't match the team's needs. cedeno is your ss, walker is your 2b. fill the outfield now please.
  23. abuck1220
    and... cubs can't top those offers.
  24. abuck1220
    could be tough to compete w/ the braves to get lugo...
  25. abuck1220
    williams + novoa/wuertz probably isn't as good as backe + qualls...but if the cubs throw in both novoa and wuertz (or perhaps ohman, who i think is expendable) + prospects, they could match/beat houston's offer. if the phils are looking for something along the lines of clement + trot, i don't know if the cubs can put together a similar package.
