Dang it Roast, your getting me all ticked off we traded Farnsworth haha. He's got the fire in him, if he learns to use that on the mound, look out. Those quotes are awesome!

Heh, he did try to body slam Affedlt, but at the last minute, Affedlt just DDT'd him. I miss the Farnes, I'm a big fan of his. He won my respect the day he slammed Wilson, that got me even more excited about that team. Does anyone recall if the Cubs picked up any momentum after that?

I would do Zambrano for ARod and probably Cabrera too. I wouldn't hesitate to trade Zambrano for Arod. Considering our hole at SS, that would be great. Not like that deal would ever happen... I don't understand why people have the impression that Arod is untouchable. The Yanks aren't winning and George is, well George. I still don't think Arod has been excepted in NY, and Mr. Jeter is still God. George has money, but is stuck without trade bait. I'd offer Zambrano for Arod and cash. The loss of Big Z would hurt, it would hurt any team, but I think we would gain more. Arod for $7-10M a season? An infield of Arod, Lee, and Aram gives us great flexability in the OF. We need a leadoff hitter and it will be much easier to fill that role in the OF. Pie, Patterson, and ?? If that isn't the right way to go, Hendry has money, trade bait, and budding prospects who are waiting for a shot in the show. Looking at what we have available, and the weak upcoming FA crop ahead, building around: 1. 2. 3. 1B Lee 4. SS Arod 5. 3B Aram 6. 7. 8. C Barrett would be a good fit for this organziation IMHO. Arod may not have as many years ahead of him as Z, but to be honest, 5 prime years of Arod at SS helps this team more than what Z will help, being that our pitching is our strength - again, IMHO. There are plenty of flaws in this idea, but I hope Hendry is open minded enough to look at all options.
