From Rotoworld:
-
Not a huge fan of this deal right now, but I wanna try and hold my judgement to see how things pan out. Infante was playing in a pitcher's park, and he has potential and is still young. Also, this hopefully clears the way toward signing Fukudome. This may end up being a bad trade, but I want to see the immediate consequences first. And this isn't Hendry's worst trade.
-
They seem to think Infante would be decent if used correctly. I've heard it before with other players. And I love that they called bad stats Neifi-esque as well.
-
He swiped a few bags in Japan, but I don't know if he's much of a base stealer.
-
Ugh, I wanna pretend I didn't read that.
-
And sign with the Cubs Tuesday
-
Is that English? He just missed a "to" in there! Jeez! where exactly can a "to" be placed in there to make it a decent sentence? ;) :lol: I just read this series of posts and cracked up more than I should have.
-
Ok, this is bothering me for some reason. I see, Iwamura, Crawford, Kazmir and Pena. Who's the other guy? James Shields Ah, that's what my guess was.
-
Ha-ha; thanks for the laugh. (Insert missing ROFL smiley here.) No Problem! But I didn't say the ONLY problem. Their pen is at the bottom of their problems. It can all be done in house no moves need to be made except re-signing Wood. Really? Other than Marmol and Wood, who do you trust? Maybe Howry. Dumpster is better as a starter just to get him out of the closer role. Neal cotts excites you? Lou obviously hates Scott Eyre. Howry Marmol Wood--if they resign him Wuertz Thats 3 currently, and possibly 4 very very solid relievers. Who is the closer? Is Marmol ready? Wood? And I am not sold on Wuertz. I worried about the pen last year and many times I wasn't disappointed. Not sold on Wuertz? How's 3 straight seasons of sub-4.00 ERA sound? The guy said "maybe Howry", what more do you need to know? Howry was lights out last year, how can somebody say, "maybe Howry" Yes, I said Maybe Howry. I think Howry is a good releiver, but he has 7 losses last year, 38 for his career. That is the only knock I see on him. I don't understand how his 12 losses in 2 years as a Cub makes him LIGHTS OUT. W-L is a horrible, horrible way to evaluate a pitcher.

Ohio State got Juiced

We beat temple. Didn't see that one coming.

I really don't think Winn is a bad player. I just think he's overpaid.

WTH? Infante is dime a dozen garbage. Hendry must be on drugs.
-
Isn't that similar to what we gave DeRosa?
-
:-& I could put up with one year.....but 3?
-
I'm hearing they may stick with in house options like Betemit and Phillips at third. Of course, they said that about Bubba Crosby in CF a couple years ago, but then went out and signed Damon, so who knows.
-
So some of my Phillie fan friends are upset at this trade beacuse they gave up "Rowand's replacement (Bourn) and their third baseman of the future (Costanzo) for a guy who will never recover from being owned by Puljols (Lidge)".

time to get rid of rivalries

Roast got pwned. -
I'm under the impression that signing Matsui has more to do with improving the odds of signing Fukudome, and I'm actually fine with that. He wouldn't be a waste of salary. He would be a nice complement to Theriot at SS from the left side of the plate. Also, if the Cubs end up with an outfield that consists of Jones, Pie and Fukudome, DeRosa provides a bat from the right side in RF on the occasion when the Cubs want to load up with RH bats against a LHP. Is Soriano no longer a part of the OF?

Mitchell Report: 11 current FA's are in it / False Report
Post Count Padder replied to UMFan83's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
He's waiting until he can tell the Red sox who they are and then allow other teams to sign them before he releases the names. -
Not a huge fan of this. He's a defensive upgrade for sure. But how is he any better offensively than Riot or DeRosa?
-
If true, I'd be really really excited. However, I doubt we'd hear anything like that right away. I'm not even sure if he's filed for FA yet.
