Trade Market for Z
Prizefight replied to Tim's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
Not sure if this is new thread worthy, probably not. It was reported on one of the updates on I believe 670 that they are dangling Zambrano to the Mets and it might be a team he waives his no trade clause since they already have 2 Venezuelan players. Who would we want? Reyes? KRod? One of those plus prospects? Zambrano/Riot for Reyes/KRod :-)) :-)) -
Congrats man! Peyton/Caldwell almost ruined your chances there. Luck plays such a huge factor for sure especially the .2 points win you had over me. Thanks for letting me play!
-
I think if Houston does not make the playoffs, Kubiak is 100% gone.
-
Woah, stealing El Caballo's thunder!
-
If he does that, I will join in the campaign for wanting to punch him in the throat

And why is any of this true? Because the people in management positions completely fubared the handling of the situation. Suspension, bad mouthing, and just general stupidity in dealing with the situation is what caused it. Get that through your head. If Theo Epstein had the same issue, you wouldn't hear a peep out of him about how difficult the player made the situation. He didn't bad mouth Manny when he had to get rid of him. He may have overpaid to get rid of him, but he got something decent in return. The way the Cubs allowed the situation to play out is the reason that there was a perception the "he couldn't come back". If they kept their mouths shut and dealt with it like adults instead of 10 year olds, Milton might be a Cub still and maybe provided some much needed production next year. Well done. :clapping: Even without taking everything into account, the way the Milton situation was handled should have cost multiple people their jobs. It should have been an internal decision and conversation to trade him. Jim literally embarrassed and trashed Milton to his teammates and the rest of the league and then tried to sell him to the league as something great. Big shocker that we had to take an awful deal and an awful player to fix a problem that never should have existed.

You made a funny.
-
Slightly. So we saved about 4-5 million roughly. Let's go sign Cameron! #-o
-
Cubs are getting 9 million. I feel better. :-k =D>
-
Do you have a link for that? I'd love to see
-
See you in 2014 once Soriano is gone.
-
I'm pretty confident that Jim and Jerry Angelo are drinking buddies with their contract management. Let's hope we have 5 million coming back our way.
-
Probably not a bad bet at all. :(
-
I'm reserving full judgment until all the particulars come out. I hope to God we have 2-3 million coming back or a low level prospect or two. Silva has less value than Bradley..which is mind boggling
-
:lol: :lol: Almost took down the king! GL the rest of the way
-
Agreed, but Rosenthal tends to be somewhat decent at least when he floats a rumor. The very thought of him anywhere in the outfield at Wrigley makes me want to ](*,)
-
Ken Rosenthal just said the Cubs are looking into Scott Podsednik...please no. please please please no.
-
Doesn't matter, I'm taking you down this week!
-
Don't get me wrong, I agree with you. Just trying to see the glass is somewhat half full for a bit today. Positive baseball thoughts makes the snow less awful
-
Don't poo poo on Jim. I think we all should take 24 entire hours and focus on a move that actually has a bit of logic and improves our ballclub. Tomorrow we can lament at the fact that he's fixing mistakes.
-
I also have one. Maclin vs. Atlanta Chambers vs. Denver Leaning Maclin because of the matchup even though Chambers is arguably KC's #1 with Bowe out.
-
Agreed with Charles and Benson
-
Waking up from the flu and a nyquil induced afternoon pass out has made me feel 100% better. Jim can cure disease simply by fixing last seasons blunders. Hallelujah \:D/
