And that is why you don't post someone's initials.

I think Cintron's an insurance policy if Cedeno or Theriot gets traded. No one else on this roster can play SS at the kind of level this organization clearly values to the extent that they would merit any significant playing time. Moreover, between Pie, EPatt, Colvin, and Fuld, the Cubs have enough guys in the organization who can adequately play CF. Moving Cedeno out there would not help settle any conflicts between that glut of players. -
Too many. :(
-
It's a minor league deal. The Iowa Cubs are trying to win the PCL Championship! They don't need some stinking bum at SS.
-
Can we just give up on all of this arguing crap altogether? It'd be one thing if people here were more willing to accept each other's points of view. That is clearly not the case here. Both sides should just drop it and not press the issue. It's getting ridiculous around here.

Law school, as a matter of fact. You'll be happy to know that one of my areas of focus is sports law.

Sorry, its gone now. But it is not correct. Average is very important. There's a reason why that is the 1st stat shown when a player comes up to bat. It shows how good a hitter is. There are other stats that might tell more about a player, but there is no way that average isnt an important stat. You are a very good hitter if you can bat .300 over a season. Hopefully you have some other tools as well besides being a batting average hitter, but having a high average is a good stat to have. http://img442.imageshack.us/img442/1356/scannersse1.gif

Soto favorite to win NL ROY Award
Outshined_One replied to Sweet Swinging Billy's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I think he's got the best shot of any non-Cub. The Cardinals' fans are not going to shut up about him and his hype will be impressive if he gets a starting nod out of spring training. -
NOW EES ZEE TIME ON SPROCKETS WHEN WE DANCE! :stickman:
-
I'm okay with it as a minor league deal. That's about the extent I'm okay with this deal, however.
-
Welcome aboard!

Some things just make me laugh
Outshined_One replied to Bote McBoteface's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Apparently catching a ball and then diving into the stands will make you a great defensive SS in the eyes of the fans. -
He wasn't GM in Chicago, either. We all saw how that ended up going for the team.
-
If the Reds simply take him, I'll be overjoyed!
-
Howard's much stronger and can jump a heck of a lot higher. Moreover, unlike Kemp, Howard's never had weight issues.
-
It bears repeating: Dwight Howard is a force of nature. However, I will give Green props for the cupcake dunk. That was one of the more creative things I've seen in awhile.
-
There was a point in time where that division would have constant wars. When he managed the Tigers, Phil Garner was especially notorious for goading other teams into bench-clearing brawls. This game comes immediately to mind.
-
Dwight Howard is awesome.
-
If we're doing that trade, I'd wait until next offseason and ask them for Lincecum, Madison Bumgarner, and Nick Noonan. Or, alternatively, I'd ask them for both Lincecum and Cain. :D

Does not compute re: Pirates.

Another untouchable prospect/Ceda to big leagues?
Outshined_One replied to Little Slide Rooter's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
You can thank our buddy Paul Sullivan for supplying that lovely word in this case. Ceda's an interesting case. He has absolutely wicked stuff and the potential to be a dominant reliever. At the same time, he's had some injury problems and weight concerns. I have to wonder if the Cubs are going to fast track him as a reliever or see if he can stick at starter over the course of a season. He put up some decent numbers while starting last season, but injuries set him back. I think the key with Ceda is the fact that he's still quite young (21), which should should give him a bit of an advantage in terms of developing and maturing. There's still plenty of time for him to get better at harnessing his control. -
From a purely selfish perspective, I'd love seeing the Brewers out of the Central and the Royals come in. That'd definitely be a great boon for the Cubs. However, from a perspective that's a bit more on the objective side, I really like having games up at Miller Park and enjoy seeing the rivalry between the Brewers and Cubs begin to develop. Cubs fans can easily make the drive from Chicago to Milwaukee, but Chicago to Kansas City? That's a bit more difficult. I really doubt this will happen any time soon, though.
-
I'll be honest, this coming season, I'd rather see him playing WR for the Bears rather than SP/RP for the Cubs.
-
They're also going to franchise Jordan Gross. That's one less team ahead of the Bears who could take a tackle.
-
If he pitches the same way he did last season over the course of a six year contract for the Cubs, he could trot out to the mound every day wearing a rally cap for all I care.
