    hate to say it, but hohokam's the worst park in the cactus league. the crowds are huge, the food sucks, and the parking is awful. both tempe and scottsdale have better stadiums. but if you're looking to check out fitch in the morning before catching a big league game in the afternoon, you may want to go to the hohokam game.

    trade for castillo...but give him the red light on stealing bases.

    please tell me you're not a) calling finley a superstar and b) comparing finley (career .781 OPS) to nomar (career .911 OPS) and c) saying that finley, age 41, is bound for a good year because he's in his contract...er...retirement year.

    i'd rather have a crappy 25 year old than a crappy 45 year old. and for those saying finley did well in 2004...i think patterson has a better chance of repeating 2003 than finley does of repeating 2004.

    i love that dude's sources. if the cubs sign furcal long term and keep walker, i have no problem w/ trading cedeno while his stock is high. but if the cubs trade walker, making neifi the 2b, then i've got problems.
  6. abuck1220
    i'm starting to think that there's something wrong w/ giles...it seems like nobody wants him. everybody's overpaying for crap, but they don't seem to want to open it up for giles. maybe he has a wooden leg that won't hold up in anything other than san diego weather. maybe he's a robot programmed to explode in 2007.

    slightly more power? mabry hit as many hr's last year as macias has in his past three combined. he's got roughly the same power as hollandsworth, and most people were pretty happy w/ him on the bench.

    option for a fifth year. http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/5117698

    i've accepted that the cubs' bench will suck.
  10. abuck1220
    is that when the quarterly chemistry report comes out?
  11. abuck1220
    i like when people complain about how ridiculously long threads get by posting in that thread, thus making it longer. mabry > macias, i guess. at least he's got a little pop. i'd have preferred branyan, but oh well...
  12. abuck1220
    Hard to pass them out until after the fact, though. you know what i meant!
  13. abuck1220
    so...are you really suggesting him as a solution or did you start this thread to throw out a 'told you so'? after the fact, of course...as it's the only way to go.

    how's about a rf?
  15. abuck1220
    yeah, seriously...you guys are idiots.
  16. abuck1220
    uk...no hill? you're dead to me.

    son of a...iowa state is so frustrating. THREE overtime losses and a loss at home to baylor, a team they beat 95 times out of 100. it's one thing to be a four loss team, but it's another to be a four loss team that could very easily be 10-1...or even 11-0. argh!
  18. abuck1220
    if hendry goes out and gets abreu/giles/dunn for the of, i guess i can't complain about this middle relief splurge. but if he starts talking penny pinching and jacque jones is the rf in 2006...
  19. abuck1220
    [-X if trading pierre prevents hendry from spending big bat $ on furcal, i guess i'm ok w/ it. i'm not a huge fan of either, but i've come to terms w/ the fact that todd walker will not be leading off for the cubs next year...
  20. abuck1220
    not saying that anybody in this thread is doing this, but it seems like the same people who say 'who cares about prospects, trade for proven commidities' are the same people who ride the cubs for trading willis, the red sox for trading bagwell, etc.
  21. abuck1220
    source? just my negative, nay-saying, hendry hating intuition. sorry. let's try this again... roberto clemente is so gonna be the cubs rf. hendry will find a way to make it happen. he's the best.
  22. abuck1220
    jacque jones is so gonna be the cubs rf.
  23. abuck1220
    good support for your argument. :roll: funny that he mentions mcgwire and bonds, but fails to mention sosa winning the mvp in '98 over mcgwire.
  24. abuck1220
    tom gordon's agent has GOT to be on the phone to hendry right now. at least 5 yr/$27 mil for flash.
  25. abuck1220
    that dusty bonus doesn't mean much to me until some really good players start coming here because of dusty. neifi and scott eyre don't sell that one for me.
