It was either in today's tribune or sun-times that I read that there are still teams interested in Jones and that "his last at-bat with the cubs may have been in the sixth innning yesterday" and that it's very likely he could be gone by the weekend. AKA: Get your hopes up, only for nothing to happen. :wink: I'm sure Hendry is working the phones hard before Friday's game since Lou wants to get back to 12 pitchers. I just doubt he's going to be able to trade Jacque if he's not allowed to pick up a huge portion of the contract. Agreed. I do believe JH is trying to do his best, but if we don't pick up at least $5-6 million, I don't see Jones going anywhere until possibly a team gets desparate at the deadline.

Shea Hillenbrand DFAed

I don't know about that. Torre is currently obsessed wih Miguel Cairo playing first base. -
Theriot is beter on the basepaths, but I've heard that Fontenot is the superior feilder. I don't think you heard correctly. I guess not.

Izturis on his way out?
Post Count Padder replied to Roast's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
I know you were being sarcastic, and I posted this in the other thread, but I'll post it again. There are 28 qualified SS in the league -Izturis is 22nd in Fielding Percentage -28th in Range Factor -22nd in Zone Rating Jim Hendry looks at those and doesn't know what they mean but what he does know is that Izzy has a Gold Glove. :roll: -

Lest we forget how many runs he drives in with his glove -
Ummm.........

This is the Cubs we're talking about.

Just tell Wayne Krivsky that he could also pitch and the Reds will gobble him up. -
Or Enrique Wilson. I hear Jose Macias is interested in coming back to the Cubs. I think he deserves another shot. As long as Hendry's in charge, he might get it.
-
1 shutout inning...wow. Is he any good / worth calling up? http://www.thebaseballcube.com/players/P/Bret-Prinz.shtml Also, he recently turned 30.

Who died and made you Mark Bellhorn? I was, am, and always will be a big Bellhorn fan. I'm a bigger Horny fan. Prove it

Maybe there isn't going to be one. The story of this franchise. Get excited for nothing.
-
Hmmm. That would also take Soriano out of the leadoff spot, giving him more RBI opportunities.
-
I have no problems with that lineup. Probably most ideal. Agreed
-
I'll say. I just heard that he wants "new" baseballs. Surely Jimbo should realize that he won't get that much.

It was a bad signing regardless of what he provided in 2006. In terms of looking at the signing from a 2005 perspective, Hendry gave him at least one too many years. It wasn't going to be the contract that killed us, but it didn't bring in a particularly talented player and guaranteed him 3 years, so from that perspective, yes, it was a bad signing. From the perspective of final results of the contract, if we can trade him, I'd say Hendry got lucky on a bad contract and made it a wash. you could, but who else di we miss out on while Jones was plaugging RF? Props to Hendry, however, for realizing his mistake. Cesar Izturis is still on the roster.
-
Isn't that the guy who gave him a backloaded 3/16 deal? If you don't make fun of him for a week, I'll pick up the slack. I anticipated someone would.
-
If Hendry can dump Jones by the end of the day, and actually get a living breathing human being in return not named Neifi Perez or Jose Macias, I won't make fun of him for a whole week.
