Whats going to happen between the OFs and Nick Johnson/Dmitri Young? They could make a decent package trading Young, Kearns, Langerhans. -
That could eliminate them from Fukudome..

Similar Batters 1. Marcus Giles (939) 2. Fred Carroll (932) 3. Adam Kennedy (929) 4. Harry Danning (928) 5. Bill Knickerbocker (924) 6. Solly Hemus (921) 7. Jack Wilson (919) 8. Jocko Milligan (919) 9. Bump Wills (918) 10. Damaso Garcia (918) Daunting list of middle relievers with a couple good years scattered among a bunch of bad ones. Not that I'm against the move, but its funny to see. Man I wish my last name was Knickerbocker.
-
Wasn't he selected in last year's rule 5?
-
It was rumored that the Padres make that trade offer to the Cubs back in May of last season and the Cubs quickly rejected it. And I think in early November some writer speculated that those talks could heat up again, but nothing has been heard since.
-
There are no Josh Hamilton/Joakim Soria's in this draft that we know of are there? I guess no one would predict Soria would have the impact that he did last year when he was picked.

Good, I am glad the people who thought Kenny was a genius for assembling the 2005 championship team are coming to their senses. While no one can take their title away, lets be honest, their team was a pretty big fluke that year. That said, Kenny isn't the worst GM in baseball. He had many many nice moves, as recently as last week with Quinten. But overall he giving his team a Cubs philosophy (there is no such thing as rebuilding), which is only hurting his team in the short and long term.

Thank you So Taguchi-Tony LaRussa relationship for producing one of the most awkward quotes of all time:
-
Yeah, I think Hill easily has more value than Roberts, especially considering age and salary. Disagree, I think Hill showed this year that he has 3rd starter stuff. Plus he's 28 and Roberts is 30
-
I actually like the Orioles (I used to live near Towson, MD awhile back and when I was about 8-10 years old, I liked the O's as much as the Cubs). That said, I still hope the Cubs fleece the O's somehow.
-
Someone mentioned how we need to shed payroll if we got Roberts and Fukudome. Anyone think that we lost Fukudome so Hendry has money to spend now and can acquire a 2B making 6.3 million? By the way: I predict this thread will go at LEAST 132 pages before we get some sort of resolution one way or another....

OMC doesn't like joke entries, therefore a Neifi Perez entry would be nullified.

I heard that as well. Pretty comical conversations taking place with WS fans. Someone from the Sun Times FINALLY came on and said the WS had 0 chance to come close to the offer from Detriot and even went on to say that they couldn't match the next best offer from the Angels. And they should be thanking their lucky stars that KW didn't get Hunter for the 15 million/per that was reportedly offered by the White Sox. Talk about Soriano's contract looking bad the last few years, Hunter's would have looked worse! Instead, they're all upset that Hunter was suppose to be delivered w/ Christmas wrapping! Classic! They did win the World Series in our lifetimes. Did they? I'm 24 and I seem to remember only these teams being World Champions Orioles, Tigers, Royals, Mets, Twins, Dodgers, A's, Reds, Twins, Blue Jays, Blue Jays, Strike, Braves, Yankees, Marlins, Yankees, Yankees, Yankees, Diamondbacks, Angels, Cancelled due to disinterest, Red Sox, Cancelled due to disinterest, disinterest, Red Sox.

You work for one hour? He said he's leaving work in 15 minutes, not leaving for work
-
"We just signed that Japanese guy with the name I probably shouldn't say on tv to spite the Cu- I mean to get some more left handed hitting on our ballclub"
-
Thats 3 very random places.
-
Pie won't hit first, but I agree Fukudome looks to be our 2 hitter.
-
What did they say about the Patriots? As your average sports fan, I would really like to know what the Patriots are doing every hour of every day. Anyone know how Tom Brady's stomach is sitting after his Jalapeño Omlette he had this morning? On a serious note, on Monday night my friend from Boston IM'd me to ask me what I thought about "the game". When I said "What game?" He acted like I was a complete moron because I didn't watch or obsessively follow the Patriots-Ravens game (I was at the Bulls/Mavs game). Boston people need to be stopped.

Maybe he told Dye Cabrera meaning Orlando and then pulled the ol' switcharoo

Bruce, can you tell me what is going on with the Red Sox and Yankees? Also if you could shed some light on the Barry Bonds situation. Oh wait, you don't work for ESPN, nevermind.
-
woah...That would be crazy if something does go down today...Pleaseee be true and to the Cubs..If it's the Royals..We Riot After hearing about a big offer my first guess would be the Cubs too, but with the way the Royals have been shocking people....I wouldn't be surprised...

I was doing some reading about Fukudome and I came across this 'scouting report' from Nov 3rd on this Mets blog Link: http://www.metsblog.com/2007/11/03/blog-scouting-report-on-kosuke-fukudome/ I love Fukudome's potential, but I'd be worried about giving $13 million to a player with those numbers. Gotta pay for that OBP though (ironically)

bwhwhahahahhahah! Looks like all that grit talk has gotten into his head.
