    Now you jinxed it.

    Can I assume this trade hasn't happened yet?

    Phillies fans are freaking out like the world ended. They need to get over it.

    I wasn't talking about defense, even if was playing in left field. His OBP was .300 last year. Yeah, his 08 was pretty bad. I'd only take him in a trade if we didn't give up much and the Royals picked up a hefty portion of his contract, which they won't.

    you just need to get tanked before you go It's times like this I wish I owned a flask.

    Snow on the ground. Wind blowing. 20 degrees out. Hopefully we beat MSU and the weather won't bother me anymore.
  7. Post Count Padder
    Surely we can offer something better than Olsen, right?
  8. Post Count Padder
    If we're adament about Teahen or DeJesus, what about seeing what the Royals would want for Greinke?

    Payroll relief. Ellsbury is probably ready to play CF everyday with this move, and it frees up money to outbid the Yankees for a SP. But that's why they got rid of Crisp, which I understand. But why Ramirez in return? Cheap bullpen help is always a good thing. They weren't going to get much for Crisp. Yeah, that's actually a pretty decent return for Crisp. So, DeJesus, Gathright, Crisp.... Are the Royals trying to build the least powerful outfield in the majors?
  11. Post Count Padder
    Anyone else think DeJesus is just a slightly-better Reed Johnson?

    I can't blame Hendry if he can't find a third team. I will blame him if he trades any of our better prospects for Figgins.

    OBrien is in denial, thinks the Cubs have no chance or is over-the-top optimistic.
  15. Post Count Padder
    Fantastic. I won't be home so I can't go. Oh well.
  16. Post Count Padder
    hopefully he front loads it so we have a little more flexibility in 2-3 years That's wishful thinking.
  17. Post Count Padder
    It's easy to forget he made the All-Star game with the Marlins way back in the beginning of the decade.

    Anyone have thoughts on why Towers is talking so publicly about this? Seems there is no good reason to rule out teams in the mix to drive up the price tag. Is this to appease SD fans on Peavy's pressure for a bad return on the trade? I realize that the GM's certainly have an inside relationship that is only selectively revealed to the public, but this one seems a bit off. Perhaps because it was so obvious to everybody involved that there was no need to invent fake competition for the bidding. Hendry certainly has a reputation for making fair deals, he doesn't look to screw teams over. So, maybe he's putting the ball in Hendry's court to come up with a reasonable offer for Peavy. Or he's making it difficult for Chicago to make that offer any higher, and he's just trying to get Peavy to agree to go somewhere else. It's probably to put pressure on Atlanta to up their offer. The scary part of these Dempster rumors is that Atlanta had Dempster on their radar. If the Cubs sign Dempster, Atlanta could up their offer, especially considering some of the other FA pitchers Atlanta is looking at are likely to sign elsewhere. If I'm Towers, I prefer the packages Atlanta can put together over just about anything the Cubs would reasonably offer. Yeah, there's that and that's what Towers wants, but once again Peavy doesn't want to go to Atlanta.

    We're after Peavy? When did this happen?
  21. Post Count Padder
    Remember though...they are the Pirates. They gave us Aramis Ramirez. 8-) Yeah, but isn't McLouth under control for a few more years?
  22. Post Count Padder
    It's ESPN. What do you expect?
  23. Post Count Padder
    This thread has become pretty intense. Brings back memories of last offseason.
  24. Post Count Padder
    Bib Z? Who thought up that nickname? :wink:
  25. Post Count Padder
    Braves pretty much backed out of negotions. DonnieD has a source who supposedly said Peavy to the Braves wasn't happening even when reports said he was going to be traded there. Also supposedly something is supposed to happen today and if not, DonnieD will shed more light on his source. Today as in tonight or tomorrow? Tonight
