    I'd take Hill over Bedard at this point, but that's me. I figure Bedard is a bit better talent-wise, but Bedard's injury history compared to Hill's, along with the fact that Hill will be cheaper for longer, tips the scales towards Hill, imo. As for Colvin, I'm not overly impressed. He and Veal are at the top of my "high risk/high reward" prospect pile for the Cubs. Typically, when you have a guy like that who is at his greatest value, it's smart to sell. Both have glaring flaws which could completely submarine them.

    *Shrug* I'm expecting more of the same from him: decent production against righties and murdered by lefties. For a $3.5m minimum, that's not so bad. However, we now have to wonder about who will take the last rotation spot. Between Dempster, Marquis, Marshall, Hart, and a few others, there are some questions that need to be addressed.

    I'd give consideration to it. Pawelek hasn't been able to stick above short season ball while Craig will likely make a decent 1B/3B utilityman with good plate discipline and a bit of pop. Craig's much more likely to contribute something to the majors than Pawelek at this point.

    Donaldson can't be traded until the summer.

    Can't say I blame him. She's hot.

    Sadly, I'm inclined to agree with leaving Pawelek out of the Top 20.

    My guy can beat up your guy.

    Looks like the Orioles dumped him just in time.

    Yes. This. Hi Brian Roberts!!!

    Does that mean its gonna take 228 pages to get this deal finalized??? Of course not. It means that 228 pages from now, we'll be back to where we started on the 114th page, which is where we started on the first page.

    It's a BS website with less credibility than the yahoos over at OH. Don't look into it.

    I can't wait for the day David Eckstein is inducted. That'll be epic.

    I have the game on mute. Has the commentary been as bad as I've imagined?

    Word is it's for Joey Devine.

    It's official. I'll now hate whoever is representing the NFC in the Super Bowl. Green Bay? Yuck. Dallas? Please. NY? That'd mean Eli Manning would lose his status as the "happy accident" Manning brother. Something about that would make me sad inside.

    Bonderman the last two seasons: 14-8, 214 IP, 1.30 WHIP, 18 HR, 202/64 K/BB, 4.08 ERA, 112 ERA+ 11-8, 174 IP, 1.38 WHIP, 23 HR, 145/48 K/BB, 5.01 ERA, 91 ERA+ Bonderman's younger than Hill by about a year and a half. Other than that, I really don't see how you can objectively say Bonderman's a much better pitcher than Hill.

    Yes because baseball is played by computers and not humans. Holy crap...you mean to tell me the robots have finally taken over?!?!?! http://www.londondance.com/image_library/17/46/13667.jpg Nothing says "suave" like a gawky 6'7 Englishman.

    Mike Holmgren believes you has his bukkit.

    Basically, he got a look-see at the Cubs' accountings.

    Simple question: Who do you think are the most undeserving Hall of Famers? Bill Mazeroski and Luis Aparicio come to mind.

    Unless cash is exchanged, the Jays basically go from a 3/$35.25m contract to a 3/$33m contract. Glaus also has his share of injury issues. I could see a prospect going from the Cardinals to the Jays if this goes down, though. How do you get 3/$35.25? The player option is for 2009, not 2010. Whoops, my brain was still stuck in 2007. :oops:

    Somebody keep Rich Hill away from Cameron. That'd be a defensive nightmare for the Brewers. LaPorta does not have the arm or range to play RF, from everything I've read about him. Braun might be able to handle RF, but he'd first have to cleanly transition into the OF. We'll see how that goes.

    This pretty much depends on how the Cubs view Pie, Colvin, and E-Patt. If they think they can get at least league-average production out of those three (be it individually or in some combination) over the course of next season, then someone like Melky wouldn't be of much interest to them. However, if they don't think that way, and if they don't think any one of those three will even pan out to be league average in their careers, there probably is something to this.
