ROUND TWO - (4) abuck1220 vs. (5) Bob Sanders
Derwood replied to Derwood's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
wow, what a comeback -
I was thinking the same thing. It's the new sample size. jesus, what? do you even know what hyperbole means?
-
EPatt isn't in the deal
-
i submitted this story to FARK.com under the headline "Padres add some punch to their lineup". We'll see if I win
-
But wait....I read a scouting report that he was good on defense! :lol: judging by your posts, you haven't read anything about anyone. don't let that stop you from having overreactions and hyperbolic opinions about everything though
-
Nay. Thanks. What's the speculation then? The Barrett+EPatt for Bowen+Linebrink deal from the 1st page? no, Barrett for Bowne and Kyler Burke (Low-A OF on Fort Wayne). Cash is moving, but it's unclear who is getting it
-
Im pretty much in this camp right here with Jersey. As it stands right now, the Cubs are not any better than they were with Barrett. The offense is still the weakness on this team. If they make another trade for a bat, that might make this trade look better. Defense isn't the problem for this team right now, its the offense. if it's a statistical wash but has removed drama/tension from the clubhouse, then it did it's job.

It means that Marty Brenneman sucks. correct. my point was who gives a crap what the Padres announcers think about this deal? If they're like 95% of team broadcasters, they toe the company line and praise the team for whatever they do
-
Oh, jesus. I should just leave this thread before I end up spending half my day here. Come on...you wanna argue CERA...you know you do...give in to the dark side... Besides, you know you're gonna be here all day anyway.... No way man. I took the day off and am going to the planetarium with a bunch of fine ladies. 8-) you're with some fine ladies and your big idea was the PLANETARIUM? Dear God man,
-
ALERT!!!! THIS TRADE WAS ABOUT GETTING RID OF BARRETT!!!! NO ONE SHOULD EXPECT EQUAL VALUE!!!!
-
I've seen the arguments for him spelled out...can you do the same from the other side? 703 career OPS. Cause that .756 career OPS for a terrible defensive catcher is astounding Bowen is also terrible defensive catcher. Really, you're sticking to that huh? Just because he hasn't thrown out baserunners while catching a staff that's notorious for their inability to hold runners? You make generalizations and rush to judgment on things which you aren't very familiar with more than anyone I've seen on this board. Keep ignoring those scouting reports talking about his defensive ability though. Maddux is the only one on that staff that can't hold runners. To throw their pitching staff out as an excuse for his peformance behind the plate is a copout. And as I stated earlier, the San Diego broadcast team and color analysts couldn't wait for this guy to get out of town. And they follow the team on a daily basis. so what? Marty Brenneman would buy the plane ticket to get Adam Dunn out of town, does that mean he sucks too?

You're about the sixth person to make the complaint, but not one person has stated why its a bad deal with any amount of reason. You want reason? Here is reason. Barrett, like him or not, was the best catcher in our system. Our best option is now Bowen (assuming he's coming our way) and that's sad. EPatt is a top prospect in our system. That goes without saying. So, if the rumors are true, we traded our top catcher (and not a bad one overall) and a top 5 prospect in our system for a good reliever and a backup catcher. A reliever that will maybe pitch 4-5 innings per week as opposed to a catcher who would play in 4-5 games per week, and a prospect that could have played second base for the next ten years. Need more exlplination now, or are you good? would that be the 2B prospect they've been trying in the OF? clearly someone in the Cubs system doesn't think he's a long term 2B
-
maybe the Padres made it contingent that Bowen comes our way if they take Barrett

ROUND TWO - (5) RocketSauce vs. (13) OleMissCub
Derwood replied to Derwood's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
An administration that blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. not talking about Bush. fixed can we have simple little tournament without getting into Civil War History just ONCE? -
How can you say that? Levine was just on ESPN 1000. They still don't know who the prospect is though, but apparently the comes put up more money so they could get a better prospect. the who now?
-
to clarify, Buster Olney is saying a PITCHING prospect
-
So who's the prospect? I wasn't aware the Padres had "high level" prospects right, I thought the Padres farm system was pretty barren right now
-
well then that's really, really dumb (depending on the prospect)
-
Rotoworld has remarkably little info right now
-
the addition of Linebrink would HAVE to be spell the end for Eyre. Right? RIGHT?
