  1. Supposedly, the Mets turned around and dealt the newly acquired Perez and Heath Bell for Linebrink. EDIT: per Rotoworld- Scott Linebrink-R- Padres Jul. 31 - 5:34 pm et Scott Linebrink wasn't traded to the Mets or any other team prior to Monday's deadline. The rumored deal of Oliver Perez and Heath Bell for Linebrink likely was discussed, but it wasn't finalized. Linebrink will stay with the Padres as a setup man. There's no way he'll go in a waiver deal.
  2. On the bright side, Izturis is a good defender and a GG winner IIRC. On the not so bright side, Maddux also has won a GG (15 actually, or is it 16?)and hes probably a better hitter than Izturis.
  3. Wilson. Which one? Craig. Good trade for the Yanks.
  4. ESPN News reports the Yankees traded Shawn Chacon to the Pirates. No news yet on who they got in return.
  5. I don't know if this was posted here, but according to Rotoworld, the Dbacks approached the Cubs late last night about Maddux. Rotoworld also says that Hendry is demanding two top prospects for Maddux.
  6. This is just a thought i had so dont attack me for it, and i doubt it will happen but here it goes: The O's are shopping Tejada. Ronny hasn't been hiting well at all and is showing almost no patience at the plate. The Yankees are looking for another bat and a SP. Therefore, this is what I propose: Cubs get Miguel Tejada Yankees get Greg Maddux and Todd Walker Orioles get Ronny Cedeno, Shawn Chacon, and prospects from the Cubs and Yankees. We get Tejada, and he helps the offense, and helps our chances for next season. The Yankees get their bat in Walker who is ver versatile, which is what they were looking for when they tried to acquire Betemit. They also get Maddux to help their rotation. The Orioles dump Tejada, and get a pitcher in the process who could help out (yes, his stats are terrible, but then again, the O's staff isn't exactly great either). However, one of the few snags this deal would have is that the Orioles won't take just anyone for Tejada, obviously. A Marmol or a Tabata might have to be thrown in there. Then there would be the arguement of how much salary will be taken on by the aforementioned teams involved in the deal. I don't know. I'm just thinking aloud here, and maybe it's very wishful thinking.
  7. There tend to be a lot of these threads or topics or what ever you wanna call them, asking around what happened to ex Cub farm hands and such. Just as an idea, why not make a sticky thread for these such questions. It makes things a bit easier. What do the mods think?
  8. The guy is on pace for 37 HRs and 134 RBIs, while hitting over .280. How was this guy not an all star?
  9. ...do these moves make me look smart, or did I get lucky? drafted Jim Thome in 9th round (10 team league) traded Matt Clement for Jermaine Dye Not too shabby if u ask me. I now just traded Coco Crisp for Jonny Gomes. I figure I don't need Crisp's SBs anymore, b/c I picked CPatt on FA a while back, and I could use a little more power. What do you guys think?
  10. Billy Mueller, Jon Lieber, Flash Gordon, Mark Bellhorn, Ricky Gutierez (is he still active?)
  11. Source? and if true, the Nats actually score pretty big here. Clayton is old and not very good. Harris, though I still like him, projects only as a backup. Majewski and Bray could be good relivers and I don't know much about Thompson. However, Lopez is an all-star, Wagner could turn into a closer, and Kearns has lots of potential.
  12. How did Eric and Jae do at the Futures Game?
  13. C- Barrett 1B- Derrek Lee, Andy Phillips, Ross Gload 2B- Mark Bellhorn SS- Brendan Harris 3B- Billy Mueller OF- Bobby Kielty, Matt Murton, Bubba Crosby, Matt Holliday, Gabe Kapler, Raul Ibanez SP- Zanbrano, Prior, Wood, Jon Lieber, Matt Clement (looks familiar doesnt it?), Barry Zito RP- Dempster, Huston Street (try telling me that's not a cool name)
  14. Stay retired Sammy. Only a matter of time before Hendry inks himm to a deal. I can see the press release now. "Cubs get older, resign Maddux and Sosa. Cubs GM Jim Hendry says he is very happy with these two moves. 'I feel our organization has overall improved with the signing of the two guys.' In unrelated news, new studies confirm that Hell will not freeze over anytime soon."
  15. Does it say anywhere on the blog site what the source is? If it doesn't then I see no point in talking about this. The Yankees won't do it unless they get an offer they can't refuse, and I know that Cashman would want us to include Z in the deal, which is out of the question.
  16. Can you put that in code so it's readable? http://www.baseballamerica.com/today/stats/player.php?id=430900
  17. Team League Level W L ERA G GS SV IP H R ER HR BB SO HBP AVG TPA BK WP STR% Iowa Cubs PCL AAA 4 0 1.50 21 0 8 30.0 22 7 5 1 8 50 0 .195 122 0 1 1.000 TOTALS 4 0 1.50 21 0 8 30.0 22 7 5 1 8 50 0 .195 122 0 1 1.000 50 ks 8 BB in 30 IP, and a 1.50 ERA :shock:
  18. Don't let his steroid product body fool you. I bet he blows out his knee trotting to first base after a hit by pitch.
  19. Over/ under on how long this lasts. I say 2 weeks before he's cut. How 'bout everyone else?
  20. Yes! Our Angel has come to save us! *crickets* Ok, lame joke, I know, but at least there's one less 2B on the roster that we have to worry about, though I would have felt much better if it said PEREZ officially DFA.
  21. Ramirez, Hill and other prospect for Burrell and Utley. Move Utley to third, problem solved. Though, better chance of the Pope getting married than there is of the Phillies trading Utley at this point.
  22. Haha, I've heard about this from numerous places and now I just have to see it for myself. It would be great if someone could get a pic or video clip up here of it.
  23. I''m not really obsessed with him, or overly impressed with his abilities. We're just more or less looking at possible scenarios for a Walker trade. He really isnt that bad though, and unfortunately on this team his stats look even better.
  24. That was rumored last year IIRC. What are Heilman's numbers this year? Might not be bad, and we do have plenty of 2B to replace Walker :roll: 4.39 ERA and 1.37 WHIP in 41IP. He's having problems with his release point and he's been very inconsistent so far. For Walker, a guy who is going to be gone after this season, I think that would be a major score. Even if does what he's doing now, he'd easily be our No. 2 starter if we put him in the rotation. Agreed. Despite being a bit inconsistant, those stats arent bad at all. This also could possibly be our best option in return for Walker, unless we get a desparate fringe conteneder to throw a descent prospect at us at the deadline.
