CBS article on Kerry Wood
minnesotacubsfan replied to The Voice of Reason's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
seemed like alotta re-hashing of what everyone alredy knows -
w/this team, Colorado scares me. Atlanta is someone we want ot play...or the A's. The cubs just dont get up for mediocre/bad teams
-
Perhaps he was talking about Neifi? :wink: I was. Who did Zaphkiel think I was talking about? Walker, and so did I.....

Well, he won't have much of a choice. This was his "try out" year. He was auditioning for other teams. Not much of an audition though. He'll have to take what we offer unless some team is willing to take a huge gamble on him. I say offer him another 1 year deal not worth more than 3 or 3.5 mil. see: Ordonez, Magglio And see how many games Magglio has missed this year. Plus, I doubt the Tigers are really happy with that decision right now. They paid too much. And I might be wrong, but he wasn't coming off of two consecutive injury riddled seasons. If we can get him for cheap, I say do it. If someone is willing to pay more, we have Cedeno to go for us, or we have freed up money to burn on someone else. i totally agree with you. now if we could get Dusty on the Cedeno wagn

WE HAVE A CONTACT/AVE HITTER IN mURTON, IF dUSTY PLAYS HIM

If he can't make it here, then he's a commodity that can be sent to the teams that can use him. Why do you want Welly cut from the organization, yet clamor for Rueter to be signed? What can the Cubs get for him?? Seriously? Could catch lightning in a bottle w/ Reuter. At least he's had success in the majors, and can't be much worse than Hill, Mitre or Welly. Not by himself, using him as part of a package he's a valuable component. Besides, he's not taking anyone's space that's needed before the end of the season, no need to be wasteful by cutting him. Rueter has been terrible. We're better off seeing what we have in Rusch/Hill/Mitre/Welly/etc. than hoping to get 4 good starts out of a guy who never had good stuff whose age is catching up to him. I'll give Rusch a shot. The other 3 shouldn't be starting in a wildcard chase. WHAT? did you see what Rusch did tonite???????

Release Wellemeyer. No loss @ all. Majorly disagree. raisin, what do you see in Welle? He has the pitches to be a bottom of the order starter - he posted an ERA of 3 at AAA in 11 starts this year. He could also be a good set-up man. The Cubs need to give him a proper role and not dust him off once every week in blow outs. I dont mean to pick a bone with you, but I dont see it. lower to mid 90's fastball, ok slider, changup...and limited success at AAA. it seems like every time he gets called up his head implodes and he cant find the strikezone. do you think he needs to start? He needs regular playing time to succeed. He doesn't get it in the big leagues (except for about two weeks in May) and that's why I think he struggles more with his control in the big leagues. He gets proper playing time in the minors and does well. was my assesment on his pitches correct? I reeally dont know anything about him other then the occasional call up for these types of games, then he disappears to Iowa. I'd say his changeup is better than ok, but otherwise, I think you're right. I think those 3 pitches are enough to get by as a competent #5 starter in this day and age. I can see the desire to want to see Mitre, Welle, Hill over Glendon. I just never really thought of Welle as a starter. I rreeealllly think Rusch is reverting to pre-Cub Glendon.........bad bad bbbbbbbbbaaaaaaaaaddddddd
