  1. Why? As a backup I can understand, but when his likely ceiling is a mid .700s OPS I don't see him being worth giving up sparse trading chips. There are far better options out there than Kouzmanoff that may just come a bit cheaper. his road OPS was over 800 each of the last 2 years. In 256 and 319 ABs, respectively, and with a bad OBP. He may or may not do that over a full season, but what are the Padres going to demand for him? They're already reluctant to trade him. 256 and 319 road at bats are both essentially full seasons.

  3. While Kouz wouldnt be my ideal target, Id take him. What I dont like about this comment is the Fontenot adequately filling 3rd part. Be it true or not, were still relying on the 3 headed monster at second. Im willing to give Font time to pull it together, but Id just assume not have to rely on at least 1 of Scales, Freel, and Miles in our everyday lineup. I know that every team has a guy like that in their lineup, but we have to rely on a lineup with a solid, no easy out 1-8 since we dont have that one superstar like a Pujols or a Braun. viewtopic.php?f=15&t=54112
  4. i have trouble believing he would make any of these moves without consulting Trammell and/or Rothschild
  5. I don't see a big trade happening. The Cubs have been reluctant to take on new payroll with ownership still in flux. We have little in the minors to offer, and trading one of the few pieces we do have seems shortsighted. It's time for some of the players we already have to simply start playing better. Jeff Stevens, Kevin Hart, Greg Reinhard, and even Aaron Heilman could be quite usefull to teams looking for bullpen help. Jake Fox should entice many AL teams. We also have several AA and below prospects that a lot of teams would be interested in. teams looking for AAA bullpen help?
  6. i remember there was a guy on this site who kept trying to tell us that huet didnt suck
  7. could put it in general baseball discussion, perhaps.
  8. this thread is pathetic. seriously, this thread is way more pathetic than the game.
  9. both teams really stepped up the physical today. good :)
  10. he said theyre going to show the anthem...
  11. it isn't bothering me at all, and really, I'm fine with that. God willing I've got 50 more years of Cubs baseball to watch and this last week isnt even a blip.
  12. lets trade some posters to grb for a p(oster)tbnl
  13. not gonna happen not gonna happen not gonna happen not gonna happen
  14. I don't see how either of those thing will change how the team is playing right now. Doing nothing isn't working either. If you can explain how randomly firing a manager or firing the hitting coach is going to make them play better be my guest. Perry stopped being a good coach last tuesday!!! Get him out of here!!!
  15. Hear, hear. I am no longer mad at the Cubs, it is beyond anger with me. I just sit back and enjoy baseball regardless of how the Cubs are playing. I agree, this bickering with each other because the Cubs are playing crappy really does need to stop. Here's to injecting some optimism into this thread. Come on Cubbiesl, you can win this game. Huzzah for the Cubbies! Huzzah!
