Hint: look at more than 2007. I know I'm new, but why is everyone so condescending and belittling around here? Get used to it. Bah. Not even Meph does that anymore. He's moved on to simple ego-gratification (and the response of everybody here to his posts now is fun to watch). The only real sniping is between OMC and IMB. Which will go on til the end of time
Hint: look at more than 2007. I know I'm new, but why is everyone so condescending and belittling around here? I wasn't trying to be. I'm really sorry if I was. You will come to find out, that's not my style at all. Wasn't necessarily aimed at you. Sorry. It just seems like there's a lot of sniping at certain times. I guess that's the nature of a message board. Most of the guys here are nice. Sometimes people just get riled up.
I consider them to be winners in this saga, not signing Rowand or Hunter. Who plays CF. Owens? Maybe KW can trade for Juan Pierre? :lol: Oh man, that would be priceless.
I don't see a whole lot of a difference between the two. Bedard may be better leaving the AL East for the NL, but not certainly not light years better. Hill will also continue to improve, he has not hit his peak yet.
If the Cubs got Figgins they wouldn't need Roberts Cubs get Figgins Angels get Gallagher, Marshall and Inge Tigers get Hart, Harvey & PTBNL yowza. you'd give up gallagher, marshall, hart, and harvey (who sucks, so whatever) for Figgins? Yeah, that is a bit much.
I'd do that trade, but his injury history still scares me. Granted, it would get Marquis out of here, but what if Burnett is hurt most of the year? Then we're back at square one.
