    You get heated arguments about Dawson because you're wrong. If they start letting guys like him in, they may as well open the floodgates. He's not even borderline.

    If we save $9 mil by staying in-house, we could split it for a 2 year $4.5 mil deal for Wood. Then everybody's happy. Except Wood. No way he signs for that little.
  3. Tarver
    What? Why did you include that?
  4. Tarver
    He'd better get KW's ear before the O's sign him then.
  5. Tarver
    He's out of here, let it go.

    Griffey might be a decent alternative to Ward, but not much else. The man should be nowhere near the OF anymore.

    Rogers thought they might do a sign-and-trade deal like basketball. Then he's an even bigger idiot than previously thought. There are no sign and trades in baseball. Not exactly like the NBA, but comparable (admittedly rare) deals do happen. Bronson Arroyo to the Reds would be a recent example.

    Just two years ago, who would have thought it'd be Wood, not Prior, who was set to cash in this offseason? I wish him the best, but it's likely he'll go the way of the aforementioned Clement & Mulder.

    Yep, the Cubs should offer a prize package to every massive tool that goes through some melodramatic charade like this. Let that sinkhole in New England absorb this douchebag. He'll fit in perfectly. +1

    He should have picked a different sport. Gifted athlete, but has no business being in MLB.

    1) I thought he was speaking to the fans. 2) I am a rich white guy; does that give me the right to criticize Soriano? You're the 1,947th Cub fan? I find that hard to believe.
  13. Tarver
    He'll be lucky to get another three months.
  14. Tarver
    give Dusty his horses, and he'll win.

    viewtopic.php?f=6&t=51576 ok, see my post in that thread and let's read your ideas.
  16. Tarver
    Do changes have to be made? Of course. But it's nonsense to think that contracts like Soriano's, or Fukudome's, will be eaten or easily moved, so we all better plan on at least 2 parts of our outfield being back. So where do we go? Meph and TT may disagree, but I don't think K/9, while a great stat, is the end all-be all of a pitcher's performance. Rothschild is a good man, but I think we need a different philosophy right now. Maybe the STL method has some merits. Sure, the K totals won't be as sexy, but Duncan's success with marginal pitchers is undeniable. Lilly and Harden aren't going to change, but Z fits the mold, and Marshall and Samardzija could. Instead of worrying about big sluggers like Burrell and Dunn (who would be beneficial, no doubt, but very expensive), maybe we need to concentrate on getting stronger up the middle, sign a guy like Hudson, find a more a capable SS (Wilson, Greene) and let the defense handle making some of these outs, instead of placing the entire burden on the staff game after game. basically i'm advocating a ground ball heavy staff with a tighter defensive infield.

    this thread is a joke. let's focus on ideas getting the roster better going forward.
  18. Tarver
    Cub fans to Soriano: "Discuss terms of buyout or retire before Manny hits the market."
  19. Tarver
    What happened to Leonard part 1-5?
  20. Tarver
    no.
  21. Tarver
    sarcasm? Lopez is garbage and should keep his mouth shut, but don't be fooled by '07 Lilly. His '08 numbers are much more indicative of what kind of pitcher he is.
  22. Tarver
    Some folks call him Jesus.
  23. Tarver
    You trust his health enough to pitch 200 innings next year? If the incoming package was right, hell yes I'd trade him.
  24. Tarver
    I know that. What I meant was a contract extension. That would be a terrible mistake. $7 million isn't much to gamble, but if he excels in the postseason the smart play would be picking up his option then trading him.
