Make them throw in a prospect say...a Scott Sizemore, or a Matt Joyce, then I would. But trading a young, cheap valueable arm for a free agent to be EXPENSIVE SS is NOT an ideal trade, IMO. So again, if Detroit is willing to throw in a solid prospect with Renteria, then yeah I would Marmol for Renteria/prospect. But the first goal, should be to trade Dempster before considering moving Marmol. Marmol is a reliever. Renteria fills a massive gaping hole. It's a no-brainer. Yeah, he fills a hole. But to plug up that hole by trading possibly our best reliever? Who also makes $9 mil less? No dice, unless they throw in a decent prospect. If Wood craps out and/or someone gets hurt, the pen becomes thinner without Marmol there.

Devils win Woo!!!

No thanks.

I'll add my two cents despite only quickly reading the previous posts. Yeah, that one season was definitely a fluke, but who's to say he still won't put up at least an .800 OPS? He hits for average and usually has a pretty decent OBP. He won't hit 20 hRs again, but he could still hit 10-12, especially at Wrigley.

1. Roberts is coming to the Cubs 2. OH Insiders know all 3. OH Insiders suck 4. Roberts is NOT coming to the Cubs 5. Hendry, Steve Stone are all-knowing demi-gods who clearly understand better than anyone else how to construct a World Series winning team 6. Sori will definitely be moved down in the order if Roberts is acquired 7. The above won't happen b/c Sori sucks w/ guys on base 8. Sliding into 1st base is sound technique (proven by scientific study) 9. Continually citing Hendry, et al as true experts beyond reproach trumps all other arguments 10. Roberts MIGHT come to the Cubs 11. Putting posters on "ignore" is a godsend 12. This thread is epic potpourri... I'm sure I missed plenty, but those are the highlights that stick out in my mind..... That's pretty much what this thread has been

Dude don't you know anything about baseball. CFs hit leadoff unless there is a skinny, fast, black dude at another position (very rare). Gotta have a guy that can handle the bat (i.e. sac bunt, hit and run, makes productive outs) batting 2nd. Gotta give that fast dude a chance to run. Corner OF and IF are the 3-6 spots, and mostly interchangeable. C is 7th. SS is 8th. These are both defense-first positions, so the offense you get from them is a bonus. Defense wins championships and you gotta be strong up the middle. hahahaha that is good. Today's starting lineup: 1. Dickerson CF (right) 2. Hopper DH (handles bad, right) 3. Griffey RF (right) 4. Dunn LF (right) 5. Keppinger 3B (right) 6. Hatteberg 1B (right) 7. Valentin C (right) 8. Castro SS (right) 9. A. Phillips 2B That is scary. scary good. Hey, it's Andy Phillips.

...or it may not! Awesome I heard the Cubs are trying to show respect to the political process and wait until the Democrats decide their presidential nominee. Nah, I hear they want to be respectful and let the entire Presidential campaign have its time in the sun so this trade will happen in November.

...or it may not! Awesome
-
So something may happen in the next week?
-
Wow, that really is Dusty's team
-
That's an answer I do not want to think about.

There's also a camera that routinely takes updated photos of Wrigley. I know people here posted some when they started digging up the field.

Hey, this trade may happen before I graduate college. Who knew.

Marquis - "start me or trade me": Lou - "He can go"
Post Count Padder replied to JGalt73's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Rosnethal has been absolutely terrible this offseason after a very good offseason last year. Yes, yes he has been. But it doesn't keep me from salivating at the thought of Marquis being dealt for Roberts, especially if it means one less prospect we have to include in the trade. -
Yeah, I don't recall hearing Greene's name mentioned.

If that is true, then I will laugh my ass off, especially when Reds fans say there's no way Neifi would get a lot of playing time.

There was a chitchat thread once in social. I'm not sure but I think some transactions and or game threads may top this as well. Milestone Post thread and Movie thread

We'll see.

I'll just keep praying the Titans get one or both of Roy Williams (WR) and Alge. That would be an awesome offseason - whatever happens with the draft. Yeah it's sickening how little the Titans have done. VY needs weapons, it's time to get him some. This offseason? I've got no problem yet. The main guys I want are still available so I'm not too worried. If we don't eventually get Vince some help, though, he'll never have the chance to improve him numbers. Who are the guys you want?

I'd take Lieber over Marquis. Dempster on the other hand... -
