    I doubt if Tavarez was on the Red Sox at the time he got caught. You're right, he was probably juicing it with Pujols when he was on the Cards. Hahaha, this is fun!
  2. UMFan83
    I doubt if Tavarez was on the Red Sox at the time he got caught. BTW, these are the players on that list related to the Red Sox Johnny Damon, Carl Everett, Rich Garces, Eric Gagne, Nomar Garciaparra, Trot Nixon, Jose Offerman, Mo Vaughn, Jason Varitek
  3. UMFan83
    Nomar's name came out too. Plus Varitek is the heart and soul of that team and the fanbase. If Varitek is indeed on the report, Sox fans will be upset.
  4. UMFan83
    I think you guys are giving this list too much credibility. They put Troy Glaus on there twice and put an I next to Jason Varitek. This has been circulating around the internet all morning.
  5. UMFan83
    Considering we scored 4.6 RPG last season, that pretty good.
  6. UMFan83
    Yeah, that's the list that's been floating around all morning. I'm not sure I buy it, considering how it's not really in alphabetical order, and you've got Troy Glaus showing up twice there. Yeah I've seen that list posted at at least 2 other websites this morning
  7. UMFan83
    Anyone else scared Geo Soto is on the list?
  8. UMFan83
    I kinda hope Prior is on the list so that I can feel better about him leaving the team...
  9. UMFan83
    I thought it was the contacts guys? Didn't AJ Eyechart wear those contacts too during his 'awesome year' in 2006
  10. UMFan83
    I would be pissed if a bunch of prominent 2006 Cardinals or 2005 White Sox were named while no major Cubs were. If they got to celebrate steroid induced World Series titles while we played the game right and failed miserably that would upset me. I guess what I'm saying is, I would settle for steroid induced championships :(
  11. UMFan83
    Ahhh Fuk, the one player that we know won't be on the Mitchell Report.
  12. UMFan83
    Oh well...he still provides a decent OBP and I'm thinking that his numbers the last 2 seasons weren't effected by steroids, so if he can provide that production and we don't give up too much, I'm ok with it.
  13. UMFan83
    I guess I can live with Hendry saying that (although I'm sure he knows how much emphasis you place on stats like OBP, OPS, VORP and was just giving you what you wanted), but I'd rather Hendry place a little more emphasis on OBP. There were too many Jacque Jones/Jeromy Burnitz types on this team the last few years and it showed in our overall rankings. 2004 especially could have ended much differently if we had a more consistent offense that could get on base for our key HR hitters.

    I would have to disagree with you if, as claimed on ESPN Radio, Roger Clemens is named in the report...... If Clemens is, in fact, named, will his HOF chances take a big hit? Maybe its just anti-climatic for me because I don't think its a big deal that Clemens was named. I already suspected it anyways.
  15. UMFan83
    So the Cubs starting lineup OPS: Soriano: .845 Fukudome: .905 Lee: .901 Ramirez: .887 Soto: .849 DeRosa: .753 Pie: .789 Theriot: .719
  16. UMFan83
    I could be completely wrong, but I have a feeling its going to be rather anti-climatic in terms of the names released. A decent portion of the list is going to be former Mets, and then after the report comes out what is even going to happen. Probably 30-40% of the players are going to be retired or out of the game, an additional 25%-35% are going to be too small names to care, which leaves only about 5-10 players that people will really be talking about, and those names are probably already names that we've already known about/speculated about like Tejada, Sheffield, Bonds, etc.
  17. UMFan83
    That's the point. He didn't want to be here. Whether there was some stuff that went on in the inside that caused him to hate the Cubs org, or he just wanted a fresh start somewhere else, the bottom line is Prior wasn't going to come back to the Cubs, which is why he didn't take 1+
  18. UMFan83
    What does that matter? Prior was in his arby years and Wood had more service time. He wasn't being underpaid relative to his experience and performance.
  19. UMFan83
    Troll How is that being a troll? Teams are going to be interested in picking up Prior. I don't understand who him showing interest in having his team sign Prior can be considered trolling. He's kidding. I was kidding, however as a Cubs poster on this board, I don't like the feeling of an NL Central rival openly root for a player that causes such an emotional response for Cubs fans.

    Hendry said he tried to gauge interest at the winter meetings in a Prior trade and there was none. I thought the Rangers and Padres had/have interest? Reds did. No way Hendry trades him within the division and risk having him pitch well against us. Or let him hit the free agent market and get nothing in return, while still going to a divisonal team. I think the odds are like 2-1 if he hits the open market he ends up in Cincy. I highly doubt this. If he leaves he will goto the West Coast.
  22. UMFan83
    Here is a good projection list compiled for Fuk which includes ZiPS, CHONE, and PECOTA rankings. The general consensus that I'm reading all over the web is that he is basically a JD Drew/Bobby Abreu type player. I can definitely live with that, mostly because both Abreu and Drew made more last year than Fukudome will make this year. http://www.rotoauthority.com/2007/12/kosuke-fukudome.html
  23. UMFan83
    That's how far Prior has fallen...he has slipped completely from the public's conscience. Even if the report isn't true, I wouldn't be too optimistic at the chances of keeping Prior. It's just not going to happen.

    Man how have times changed since 2005? I thought KW was a genius? As for SF, WTF? I guess they are just trying to ensure that they win more than 60 games this year...
