    Buy low - Ryan Freel. Platoon him in CF with Pie. Trade whatever pitching it takes to get Renteria (Marshall+Gallagher?). Murton/Jones in RF.
  2. CubFanPhilly
    Let's do this. Go Cubs!

    I'd pass. He's going to be looking for a big multi-year contract. The Cubs have no room for one (OK, I'd make an exception for A-Rod). I'd look for a 1-2 year commitment - Tejada, Dunn, Burrell, Griffey, Reteria, et. al. I wouldn't be too disappointed with a Soriano/Pie/Murton/Jones OF (particularly if they find a SS upgrade).

    same problem as blanco - getting dempster's salary off the books is a nice idea; getting someone to take the whole thing on will be damn near impossible. Moving him shouldn't be that difficult. With so many pitching-starved teams in the NL, I can see at least a few GMs interested in converting him back to a starter - and a couple that would see him as an upgrade over their closer. $5.5 mil/1 year is less of a risk than signing a FA arm of similar quality. Many of those guys will be getting 2-3 year deals. The salary relief is the return. It's $5.5 mil. that would be available to upgrade SS or RF. He should be easier to move than Jones, Blanco, or Eyre.

    Home runs only (foul pole/above below the line/fans reaching over, etc). Live with the rest.

    HOPEFUL Prediction: American League Divisional Series; Red Sox over Angels, 3-1 Yankess over Indians, 3-2 National League Divisional Series; Cubs over Diamondbacks, 3-1 Phillies over Rockies, 3-2 American League Championship Series; Red Sox over Yankees, 4-1 National League Championship Series; Cubs over Phillies, 4-2 World Series; Cubs over Red Sox, 4-1 (win it in Wrigley game 5) REALISTIC Prediction: American League Divisional Series; Red Sox over Los Angeles Angels, 3-1 Yankees over Indians, 3-1 National League Divisional Series; Cubs over Arizona Diamondbacks, 3-1 Phillies over Rockies, 3-1 American League Championship Series; Red Sox over Yankees, 4-3 National League Championship Series; Phillies over Cubs, 4-3 World Series; Red Sox over Phillies, 4-1

    Easy. Print the same contract he signed this year. Scratch the $1.75 mil. guaranteed money, replace with $2.5 mil., bringing the overall value to $2.5 mil. to $7.25 mil. (if he ends up healthy all seaon and takes over as closer). Put a clause in vesting all the incentives if by some miracle he starts again and reaches >150 IP. Trade Dempster. Use Marmol & Howry when the game is really on the line. Done.
  8. CubFanPhilly
    Overlooking a few whiffs on routine fly balls "lost in the lights". But yeah, the non-trade worked out well for the Cubs.
  9. CubFanPhilly
    Watching this Mets trainwreck has been almost as much fun as watching the Cubs in a playoff race (almost).
  10. CubFanPhilly
    Awesome!
  11. CubFanPhilly
    Wait... what? Why would the playoff schedule change? If there are two days between the end of the season and the start of the playoffs, that would be fine. Not likely, but you could end up with a 4-way tie 89-73. Mets Phillies, Rockies, Padres.

  13. CubFanPhilly
    Philly up 2-0
  14. CubFanPhilly
    Wed. unless there's a big tie breaker mess.
  15. CubFanPhilly
    Time to add about five runs.
  16. CubFanPhilly
    Stinkin Mets down 3-1 now.
  17. CubFanPhilly
    Z efficient for a change.
  18. CubFanPhilly
    I'd say more than half the crowd
  19. CubFanPhilly
    True^
  20. CubFanPhilly
    Trachsel. He only went 4.3 innings though. This is still a slow game even after he was taken out. Eighteen pitching changes doesn't help.
  21. CubFanPhilly
    Trachsel.
  22. CubFanPhilly
    Should've started this game.
  23. CubFanPhilly
    Anyone up in the bullpen?
  24. CubFanPhilly
    This would hurt a hell of a lot more if the Cubs were good.
  25. CubFanPhilly
    I would start Rich Hill tomorrow, but I guess that's just crazy talk. Hill, Marshall, a dual Wood/Hart start.... Basically anything but Trachs.
