    How about Cliff Floyd?? They were sure eager to deal him last winter. Doesn't sounds like he gets along very well w/ the organization.

    The Cubs could give them a little bullpen help, a starter, and a replacement for Jones w/ similar upside, who's alot cheaper.

    The problem with dealing with Atlanta is that we're competing for the Wild Card with them. They're not going to want to help us, and we shouldn't be looking to improve any of their weaknesses. Just my opinion. True. How is Atlanta doing financially?? Jones has a pretty hefty contract and they've been cutting back the last several years.

    How about Andruw Jones?? Or is he having too big of year?? I'd throw CPatt, Rusch and a prospect at Atl. They have two starters w/ ERA's over 4.65. Add him w/ Dunn and Dusty is forced to bat Walker 1st or 2nd... Dusty lineup: Neifi Walker Lee Dunn Jones ARam Burnitz Barrett

    Mitre, Guzman, Wellemeyer & DuBois for Dunn. Cincy gets 3 guys they can put on their roster immediately.

    Hard to believe this thread hasn't reach 100,000 posts yet. Baker has to be one of the luckiest men alive. He makes million of dollars, wins quite a few ballgame and yet has no clue.

    It would be classless for the Cubs to sabotage Maddux, and I think there's about a zero percent chance they will. It would be one thing if the Cubs legitimately have five starting pitchers better than Maddux (since the team is in a pennant race they need to use their five best starters, regardless of who they are). As long as Maddux is one of the five best, however, the Cubs need to pitch him regardless of the option. First, from a competitive standpoint, using the pitchers who give them the best chance to win this year is more important than avoiding the option next year. Second, intentionally sabotaging a player to avoid an option would likely make playing for the Cubs seem very unattractive to potential free agents. Who'd want to play for a team that will give you a vesting option, only to sabotage it if they later decide they want to avoid the option? The bottom line is that the Cubs gave him the option, now they need to live with it. I don't see anything classless about keeping a guy w/ a 4.68 ERA in the NL under 190 innings. That's just smart. I highly doubt Maddux would feel slighted either.

    Maddux has made a crapload of money in his career and I'm not going to cry if the Cubs short him a few innings. He's not worth $9 mil. Maybe $4 million. This is a business... Not some charitable organization for the wealthy.

    Trade Patterson and a filler or two to Oakland and get Zito & Kotsay. Since rumors were that Beane wanted Mike Cameron, seems Patterson would be a nice fit in Oakland. With Zito in the rotation, it makes it easier to deal Wood and upgrade the hitting.
