    Congrats Iowa. My school, on the other hand.... I'm so angry I can barely type.

    My guess would be $$$$$$$$$. Although I'm sure they could do better than the Cardinals offer even if that is the case. Yeah, they could still get a better package if they shopped around. No way should this be the best they can get.

    Summary of recent events from CBS Sportsline:

    This game is pissing me off.

    If I'm the Rockies, I at least demand Rasmus. I don't know why they think two journeymen with career years is a good return for a top hitter.

    http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news?slug=jp-peavydeal110608&prov=yhoo&type=lgns With this latest news, I would imagine the Cubs are the team looking at a 3 or 4 team trade, since the inclusion of Tommy Hanson and/or Jordan Shafer trumps any players we can offer. Only thing is, I don't see Atlanta doing this. Towers is playing poker with Atlanta and Chicago, hoping one of them ups the ante enough to pull the trigger. Luckily for Atlanta and Chicago, Peavy is the pit boss in this card game. How is Schafer any better than Pie. The guy is just like Pie (.605 OPS vs. lefties and can't walk), is probably slightly worse in the field than Felix, and just got suspended for hgh or something (I know it was something...not sure if it was hgh). In my eyes a Pie, Cedeno, Marshall, Ceda and 1 of Castillo/Hart/Atkins is just as good as anything the Braves offer outside of putting Hanson in a deal. Jo-Jo Reyes and Gorkys Hernandez are you kidding me. I'd have to agree. The Padres are getting what they want: a speedy CF, a middle infielder, a major league ready starter and some other good prospects.

    Less than impressed with some of those, but it doesn't hurt to be realistic.
  8. Post Count Padder
    If we end up only giving up Pie, Cedeno, Atkins, someone like Veal, and another prospect...I may faint.
  9. Post Count Padder
    Thanks for the info Bruce. What are the odds Peavy goes to the Cubs and do you think they'd have enough left over to acquire a bat?

    Please don't tell me OH stands for Orioles Hangout. That would be the joke. Yeah, I didn't read it closely enough the first time.

    Take it with a grain of salt, but: Carrie Muskat reported Derek Lowe has made it known he would be willing to sign with the Cubs. He's still pretty decent, but I see him signing with Boston.

    Tell me something I don't know. Yankee fans and other baseball people go crazy over how good a shortstop Jeter is, just based off the plays they see on Baseball Tonight. I remember last year there was an article after another study naming Jeter the worst defensive SS in baseball, and Yankee fans were asked for their opinions. Not one of them defended his defense, but they all got pissed at the study saying, "Jeter is a great player, a great Yankee, a great leader, and a clutch hitter."

    And a tremendous d-bag. Yeah, a lot of talent, and a lot of negative attitude. Wouldn't mind him.
  17. Post Count Padder
    Great career Greg. Too bad you couldn't have spent more of it in a Cub uniform. Enjoy retirement.
  18. Post Count Padder
    Except Dunn and Abreu aren't exactly better in the field and Ibanez is cheaper. Granted, I'd rather have the other guys but wouldn't be too disappointed if we ended up with Ibanez.
  19. Post Count Padder
    Nothing special:

    I'd hit that. =D>

    Technicality. If he wants to come back and the Cubs want him back, a deal will be made. I want to see the Cubs pursue Peavy first, as much as I like Dempster.
  22. Post Count Padder
    Hopefully I have always been a big fan of his, I was thinking it would take Ceda, Castillo, and a prospect to get him but seeing as they just traded Jacobs for a 25 year old reliever all it might take is Ceda or Castillo and a prospect. With that recent article saying Fuku to CF and trade for Lefthanded RF, and sign/trade for bullpen help why not try to also get Kevin Gregg included in a Hermida trade, that way we have a backup plan for closer if Wood leaves and Marmol stays in the more valuable spot, or if Wood returns Gregg could become a 6th/7th inning guy. I like that idea and have read the Marlins may unload Gregg as well.

    He's gotten smarter. I can only hope he realizes this would be a disaster.
  24. Post Count Padder
    Bye bye Casey. You'll be missed, kinda.
  25. Post Count Padder
    I like this move, even though Fukudome might not. Looking at that list: Griffey- old, brittle Hinske- more of a fourth OF, DH type though he would be cheap Bradley- injury prone, but good when healthy Abreu- power numbers deteriorating, not getting any younger and won't be cheap Ibanez- butcher in the OF, can still hit, won't be too pricey Dunn- expensive, OF butcher, but great power threat Anderson- declining in every category, doesn't walk, could hit .290 but won't add much else and would probably want a multi-year deal Looking at those options, I'd go for Dunn, Bradley and Ibanez in that order.
