    i'd love to have drew. but the dodgers don't need anyone to 'take bradley off their hands.' for one, lots of teams (i'm guessing) would be willing to take him in a trade...it's not like he's got a terrible contract. secondly, if they want to get rid of him that bad they can just non tender him.

    That would be acceptable production for RF, but it's not close to a guarantee, and wouldn't even be top notch. Wilkerson, if anything, is likely to be in the low to mid 800s in OPS next year, very solid for a CF. Couple that with Abreu in RF and suddenly you've got a very good offense, with good production in the OF as a whole. I agree, but everything I have heard is that the Phillies want a front end SP, the Cubs aren't going to give them Prior or Z. I would trade Patterson to the Nats for Wilkerson, and throw Williams, Hill, Pinto and spare parts at the Reds for Dunn. yeah, and boras is saying he wants seven years for damon. nobody's going to give up a prior/z type for two years of 30+ abreu, especially at 15 mil/year. i would think it would take more to get dunn than it would to get abreu.

    a guy's numbers look awesome when you say what he's done over three season...36 homers and 171 rbis!

    from the pittsburgh post gazette... :shock:

    Are you assuming that Zito is really a Cub? let's just say that i ordered my #75 zito cubs jersey off mlb's website.
  6. abuck1220
    so...does zito become the #3 in the rotation or what? ahead of wood? throw him in the middle since he's a lefty? thoughts?
  7. abuck1220
    explain yourself.
  8. abuck1220
    it's like you're begging for it.
  9. abuck1220
    get your hopes up. way up.
  10. abuck1220
    you actually get to start seven false trade rumors before you get canned.
  11. abuck1220
    If you can upgrade RF over a potential Jacque Jones signing, then it might be worth it to slightly downgrade 2B. true. right now i'm just hoping for minimal damage.
  12. abuck1220
    does he know how to correct his obviously horrid mechanics to prevent inevitable injury?
  13. abuck1220
    too bad he hasn't been able to use all those awesome pitches to put up #'s better than wood.
  14. abuck1220
    i'm glad they're keeping walker and his .355 OBP 'in the picture'.
  15. abuck1220
    stupid duke.

    kerry wood got traded to baltimore?? Wood has better stuff than Burnett? Ha! It's Sunday night, man. Don't you have to go to work tomorrow? You shouldn't be liquored up this late. Burnett's raw stuff may be marginally better than Wood's. You seem to have the gift of hyperbole tonight. Burnett has better stuff than Wood? By what measure? Wood has far more ks/9 and a much better BAA. Wood has better stuff hands down. Other than your opinion, what basis do you have for Burnett having better stuff? Asking because I don't know, and too lazy to look for it, but what is the difference in K/BB? I think that Burnett has shown better control, but I can't say for sure. kerry: 10.44 k/9 aj 'best stuff since koufax' burnett: 7.94

Burnett's raw stuff may be marginally better than Wood's. You seem to have the gift of hyperbole tonight. No hyperbole. I never said it's way better. It is, however, clearly better. eh, whatever. wood has a lower baa and higher k/9. i'm not gonna get into a debate about it. if it makes you feel any better... johan santana got traded to baltimore??

    what a surprise -- the people that posted the BS want to drop it. it's not that big of a deal, but it does lower the credibility of the site when people are all 'OMG len casper tolded me that the cubs signed raphael furcal!' i, for one, think you're full of crap. even if you did have that conversation, common sense would tell you (as it told most of everyone else) that it was not really len. and since you're so insistent that it was len, it seems to me that you're full of it.
  20. abuck1220
    walker is better than any of those 2b. why try to 'upgrade' one of the few positions you have solidified?
  21. abuck1220
    good thing hendry signed rusch to a two year deal.
  22. abuck1220
    is there anything hendry would love more than to have all the free agents and trade targets compete in a huge 100 m dash? top five finishers all get contracts/traded for and are in the running for the cubs' leadoff hitter.
  23. abuck1220
    man, if i were the mets, cardinals, or any other team in the market for a 2b, i'd be salivating at the chance to dupe hendry out of walker. good pop, pretty good obp, cheap contract. just start out the talks w/ 'well, walker doesn't play very good d, but i suppose i'd take him off your hands.'
  24. abuck1220
    believe it or not, lots of people think neifi is good.

    If they're grown men, I'm sure they can take it and not get all sensitive. So while we're disregarding people, we'll just call everyone who they feel applies whiny, stupid, arrogant, etc. Oh well, at least we'll finally be able to call out [you] for being a jerk all the time. finally!
