  1. How did I know Vance would jump all over this thread :lol: I think Vance just likes to make his presence felt. :P
  2. Wrong, having Neifi! bat at the top of the lineup is the dumbest idea ever! No, forfeiting Nolasco, Mitre and Pinto for one year of Pierre was the dumbest idea ever.
  3. I'd do it in a heartbeat. No way the Reds trade him inside the division though.
  4. Adam Eaton. Matthews Jr. Bengie Molina
  5. I'm not totally disgusted by this move, partially because I was expecting it. I think Marquis could be an ok pitcher. His stats in 2004 and 2005 were decent, so I think he had a fluke bad year last year. I don't think he'll be great, but I think he could pull off a few above average years. I would have preferred someone else, but I think we could have done worse. In this inflated offseason, this contract isn't too bad.
  6. Guzman > Marshall > Marmol
  7. I'd do that deal. Would probably have to throw in Marshall and Marmol/Mateo.
  8. Hahaha. That's all I can say right now.
  9. I think the fountains beyong the outfield wall started pouring some out the otehr day.
  10. Agreed. I think it's unlikely JH will part with Izzy, but I prefer a middle infield of Giles/DeRosa as opposed to DeRosa/Izturis.
  11. This time for a guy who hasn't played in the majors since 2003:
  12. what the hell kind of offer is that? I agree. There is no way this is the best Hendry can get for Jones.
  13. wasn't newhan once highly regarded? i take it by your context that he no longer is (?) He's 33. Last year he had a line of .252/.294/.374 in 131 AB. The year before he had a line of .202/.279/.312 in 218 AB.
  14. This is what happens when the Cubs say they'll trade Jones for anything:
  15. There are actually two positions left. CF and SS. Don't forget 2B... Mark DeRosa? Yeah, 2B is still a hole. DeRosa isnt the greatest, but there arent many better options. I would have rather traded for Giles or something, but I wouldnt call 2B a hole, I'd say its more....meh. He's had over 300 AB twice in his career. Once he had an OBP of .293 and the other time was .357. I'd like to think he figured something out last year, but his second half was right around his rather pathetic career averages. I think he's being very overvalued based upon a fluke first half last year. I hope I'm wrong. Supposedly he worked with Michael Young last year and changed his batting stance and plate approach. I assume he can partially attribute his year to that.
  16. Yeah, Gil Meche and Octavio Dotel. Talk about your big difference makers.
  17. I always liked Jon Lieber. If it doesn't take much, I'd be for it.
  18. Yeah, I could have sworn he retired earlier in the year.
  19. HAHAHAHA....wow...just wow. It's times like these I wish there was a ROFL smiley. You have *GOT* to be kidding me. Now I see why Jim laid off. That's too much, even for us. What are the Royals doing? I think the Royals got inspiration to spend money after watching us. Though, I don't think they're off to a good start.
  20. You're likely to hear it made official here about 3 hours before you see it on cubs.com.
