    I wish I was a 37 year old fragile pitcher
  2. Derwood
    Apparently Jim thinks that all it takes to win is to spend a lot of money (regardless of who you spend it on)
  3. Derwood
    if this lineup has DeRosa, Izturis and Blanco making up 1/3 of the offense, Jebus help us all
  4. Derwood
    I no longer pretend that JD Drew is anywhere on Hendry's radar. He seems to be in love with Soriano, and I have NEVER seen a published report connecting Drew's name with the Cubs. It's all wishful thinking by people here.

    I can in no way imagine that Theriot would put up a .298, 13, 74 line next year.

    Looking at the Big 10 standings, Penn State locks up 4th place with a win over Michigan St. Normally that would get them into the Alamo Bowl vs. the #4 team in the Big XII, but if both Michigan and O$U make BCS games, I'm not sure what happens. Does Wisconsin move up to the "#2" Big 10 tie-in and Penn State to the #3?
  7. Derwood
    Hendry is probably thinking "Izturis and DeRosa are no worse than Eckstein and Miles/Belliard"
  8. Derwood
    Theriot will certainly regress, but he's young enough to be learning still. Derosa will be 32 next February. He's not going to get any better. Bingo. I'm going to be 32 in February too. So long golden years!

    except that Blauser was brought in because of his "great career numbers at Wrigley"
  10. Derwood
    except he's not even a switch-hitter, right?

    i agree. they do need at least one more starter and 2 would be ideal. i like westbrook and iwaga myself. lilly would be ok too but padilla is too expensive imo. dont know too much about meche. I really hate the idea of Gil Meche pitching for the Cubs. he was #3 in the AL in walks allowed last year. Sound like he fits in here perfectly
  12. Derwood
    There were numerous articles over the last few weeks predicting DeRosa would get a deal like this from whatever team he would sign for, so I don't think it's very accurate to think the Cubs were the only team interested, bidding against themselves. i never claimed that Hendry was the only idiot GM in the league
  13. Derwood
    This just smacks of a typical Hendry signing. Overpay for a guy that no one else values nearly as much as him. Makes no sense whatsoever (given the years/$$$)
  14. Derwood
    are there actual rumors out about this or is it our wishful thinking? It's wishful thinking. I don't know why Cleveland should want any part of Izturis. i think they do need a ss some say they're going to sign Belliard back Did Peralta get hit by a truck or something? i heard the belliard thing before the barfield trade, so take it with a grain of alt
  15. Derwood
    Damn, he's 6'1", so clearly he isn't the scrappy player we were all hoping for. Perhaps he is hard-nosed though. Or a gamer?

    We were already versatile with Cedeno, Izzy, and Theriot. Well, now they can lead the league in versatility. That should be good for 10 extra wins or so. :wink: only if DeRosa's ScrQ+ (Scrappiness Quotient Plus) is 517.4 or higher
  18. Derwood
    Hey! We made the playoffs with Blauser!!! =P~ awesome, let's go get Jose Hernandez and Gary Gaetti then :D
  19. Derwood
    2006 was the first time in his career that he got more than 309 AB's

    The same blurb you reference, says that the Marlins also said Delgado wasn't available either last year... and was traded 2 weeks later. What is not likely to happen is Willis being shopped. Won't stop them from listening. true. i still don't think the Cubs have the chips to get willis or cabrera
  22. Derwood
    Nobody is saying that, though. This is how you avoid disaster contracts like the Yankees are saddled with right now, and like we have been in the past. You don't sign a 30 year old guy (outside of a real superstar like an ARod or Pujols) coming off a career year to a big money long-term contract. so are you against signing Lee, Soriano and/or Drew? All will get multiple years and all are over 30
  23. Derwood
    Well, players *do* decline in their 30s after career years in their late 20s and even early 30s. Lee won't have the benefit of steroids/HGH to help him later on, and quite frankly, Carlos Lee doesn't seem to be the type of guy who's a gym rat - a feature that is needed for most players to keep going at career high levels well into their 30s. then Sabathia, Zambrano, etc. will all suck soon too?
  24. Derwood
    No surprise here.
  25. Derwood
    BTW, I'm in no way advocating signing Carlos Lee to play LF, just playing devil's advocate to the notion that he is in some sort of obvious statistical decline
