Would it beat a team of players the Bulls were favorites to land? Nobody could beat the Bulls FA 2nd place finishes. They are the dream team of FA 2nd place finishes. PG: LeBron James SG: Kobe Bryant SF: Carmelo Anthony PF: Kevin Garnett C: Chris Bosh BN: Dwyane Wade, Kevin Love, younger Pau Gasol Not to turn this into a discussion about the NBA but Kobe and KG were never favorites to land here as free agents. Kobe was rumored via trade and KG publicly said he didn't want to go to the bulls so he was never favored to come here. Lebron and Bosh were rumored to come here as a duo in 2010 but Wade was assumed to stay in Miami even despite his visits to Chicago. Love was rumored via trade but Cleveland was always the favorite because of Wiggins. Bulls didn't miss out on Gasol, they just didn't give up what was wanted via trade. Sorry I just get annoyed when people make believe this world where the bulls somehow had these star players within their grasp.

Yeah thats what I'm saying. Can the cubs just move Wells to the Pen and move Cashner into the rotation?
-
Dont know why but i feel Lou just doesn't like soto personally. I mean seriously, he treat Soto on Defense as if he's Soriano on Defense.
-
Wow WTF is up with this obessesion with Hill at Catcher. Lou is a moron, Soto isn't that bad defensively and Hill isn't exactly Johnny bench.
-
Got $20 on Dempster giving it right back.
-
Wow do i hate Dempster. Cubs tie it up, he comes in gives up a double and hits the next batter. What a moron.
-
Thank you. Probably one of the better posts I've seen. I'm to the point now where I hope they continue to lose just so that Piniella and Hendry get fired (Hopefully) and the cubs blow up the roster. Judging from Lou's comments, they're really getting frustrated with Theriot. The situation he had yesterday in which he came to plate after Lilly was walked and swung at the first only to groundout, pretty much explains Theriots attitude throughout the year. Lou expects Theriot to take pitches but yet Theriot continues to think he's a run producer.

You do realize Wilken has only been with the cubs 3-4 years right? I just find it funny that you want a guy to pull out all star in that span. For the time he's been here, he has certainly done an excellent job. 4 years ago the cubs farm system was a joke and now, its actually one of the best. I think it was Keith Law who mentioned their system was in the bottom 5 a few years ago, to have such a turnaround is actually pretty good.
-
Who said you can't question Wilken's pick? Basically everybody has done nothing but question the Simpson pick. However, most realize he's brought in some very talented players with high upsides into our system, know his track record of bringing in guys like Halladay, Carpenter and Rios into the Blue Jays' system, and are willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. I don't see why questioning a pick, but giving a guy with a very good track record the benefit of the doubt is that bad. all the media stories leading up to today were, colvin made it, we were wrong. And a lot of what people have written in the last 18 hours is, well, he has earned the benefit of the doubt. What media story said Colvin made it? I think you're just pulling that out of your ---. From what i've read the media has said Colvin deserves a chance to play everyday to see what he has which is a valid point since he's played well in his limited time.
-
Well its pretty idiotic to say colvin was a bad pick when he has had limited time in the majors. When you sign as a pick it does not make you a pro. Its until you're in the majors in my book. The book is still out on wilken, i dont think you can say his picks have busted either way yet, until we officially see how good they become. As for saying cashner isn't a good pick because he's a reliever? so i'm guessing you think David price was also a bad pick since he was brought up for a bullpen role to start off his major league career.
-
How about the cubs move Wells and Gorzelanny to the Pen and bring up Cashner for the rotation instead of putting Cashner in the pen when they call him up.
-
Can we bring up that thread where i was asking for Aram to be traded and some posters were saying i was dumb and that Aram was the one player you keep. God this guy is hot garbage. Still remember in spring training where he wouldn't start early or play in games and he said he'd be ready, well we're still waiting for him to arrive.
-
Game's over i'm guessing? Gameday locked up

Lou. Marmol Luiz Salazar

Crap, I smell double play
-
Bats, they are sick. I cannot hit curveball. Straightball I hit it very much. Curveball, bats are afraid. I ask Jobu to come, take fear from bats. I offer him cigar, rum. He will come. HAHAHA (Big Loud Mini Explosion) -Jesus Christ Serrano - HAVE TO WAKE UP BATS
-
Bunt?
-
What are you going to do when we get the old Bob Howry back? Hope that Lebron Signs with the Bulls to make me feel a lot better.
-
dont worry he's going to, either that or Home run.
-
Anybody want to be that Grabow walks both Utley and howard to start the inning? Grabow officially has become the new bob howry to me.
-
and what do you know... he strikes out ibanez, what a dumb idiot.
-
Dempster is such an idiot. I was thinking in my head as he had that 3-0 count, "You can't possibly grove one to him can you, you have to walk him and take your chances with the .242 hitting Ibanez. "

Re: Starlin Castro promoted (!)
Sever82 replied to UMFan83's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
Its kind of what people have been saying which is around a .270 avg with a .320 OBP. But unlike some of the people hating on here, he feels batting in the 7th or 8th spot is the right thing. -

Seriously, this is how much i haven't liked the cubs this year and why i'm exciting about this move. 1) I finally have a reason to watch the cubs, this would be the case if Cashner, Jay Jack or vitters was called up, i'm just not excited to see the cubs right now because of how frustrating it is to see them bat. 2) I finally get to see Castro in my MLB The Show 2010 game when the rosters come out next monday. -

Likewise, the problem with Castro is Piniella. If this team didn't have such a terrible track record with this sort of thing, I wouldn't really care. But they have the same people making decisions, the same manager who changes his mind on an hourly basis and is all too quick to open the door to a doghouse. The same GM who is all too willing to wait until a player is at his lowest value before pulling the trigger on a deal. Are you suggesting they should trade Castro? I agree with the Piniella part, i hate Piniella and think he's a moron when it comes to managing young players. But I can see upper management letting him know that they want this kid to play period, despite how much he struggles.
