What minor league OF do the Cubs have besides Colvin (who isn't going anywhere)? I've been trying to think of what else the Rays have that could interest the Cubs to make Hill and others worthwhile. Can't really think of anything. Evan Longoria? I wish. What about Ben Zobrist, JP Howell or Mitch Talbot?
I'm sure the Orioles would be interested. Pie, Marshall, Gallagher, and Cedeno for Tejada and Bedard. Done deal We might have to give a bit more, but its not too far off a win win. Pie, Marshall, Gallagher, Cedeno, and Dempster for Tejada and Bedard. Done deal
it blows away the $11.75M or whatever that Hoffman makes (currently the highest for a reliever) I agree 15m is too much for a closer. But let's not compare Mo and Hoffman. I know Everyone is going to jump all over me on this one, so........ENJOY. They are both very good. You're just biased. Mo may be better, but not by a very large margin.
I'd like Crawford, but for both Marmol AND Hill. Unless we are getting someone else in the deal or Jim has another trade lined up for someone good to replace one of the two.
He's gonna take that. It's a record contract for a RP (or close to it) and he never wanted to leave the Yanks anyway. That is a lot of money for a RP, but if any team is gonna do that, of course it's the Yankees.
alas, Joe Carter is no longer with us maybe the cubs can make it to the playoffs and get dick stockton to broadcast another game. that would definitely be interesting. After hearing the disaster that was him calling the NLDS, yes, that would be a riot.
