I'm stuck at the library working on my outlines, so I've been clicking on this thread every time I see a new post. -
I'd try to get them to bite on a Marmol/Epatt package.
-
Reportedly, a team made a big offer to Fukudome, but nothing has been confirmed. Otherwise, everything's pretty much status quo.
-
This thread amuses me. I think Bruce is just reading this right now, chuckling to himself. If I were him, I'd be playfully spiteful with everyone right about now...
-
Nifty. I like hearing this news.
-
Beltran went to the Expos in the Nomar deal.
-
I don't think it will be tonight. MacPhail, I'm sure, would have to run it by the owner since Markakis and Roberts are 1-2 on the owner's list of player favorites. Hm, interesting. When MacPhail took over, supposedly Angelos told everyone that he would not interfere in MacPhail's business. Guess not!
-
Remind me again who the Cubs have offloaded onto the Orioles and vice versa... Sammy Sosa Corey Patterson Freddie "Boom Boom" Bynum Steve Trachsel I have a feeling I'm missing someone.
-
:shock: I might have to register there to warn them of the oncoming dangers!
-
Speaking of delusional wishes from the fans! ;)
-
Fans of every team are guilty of that. :D Seems like a decent place. I already hang out on a couple of other boards as it is...
-
Does anyone have a picture of Roberts wearing those freaky contact lenses?
-
If the cubs lose out, I hope Fukudome is given a ludicrously horrifying contract. I'm talking in the range of 3/$60m.
-
I'd be all for a Bedard/Roberts deal as long as we don't get robbed. What kind of package do you think would get the job done? Moreover, I'm curious about whether this deal might hinge on the Cubs picking up Fukudome. That would make Pie (and possibly Colvin) expendable...
-
Huh. I wonder what Mark DeRosa's availability looks like?
-
Crede to Milwaukee "close"

I seriously think Braun is expendable at this point. Whatever your opinion is about his defense, they seem hell-bent on finding a replacement for him at 3B rather than let him try and settle in and learn the position. If they throw him into the OF, his value will decline and there will not be enough playing time to go around for everyone vying for a spot. If I were an AL team or an NL team in a rebuilding mode, I'd be poking around the Brewers' camp to see what Braun's availability would be. -
Alex Cora a good fit?
Outshined_One replied to Schwarber Fan's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
I sincerely hope this is pure conjecture on the writer's part. Cora is trash. -
Hamilton Available?
Outshined_One replied to Backtobanks's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
Both? No thanks to that deal. -
D-Backs may play Owings at first base
Outshined_One replied to Post Count Padder's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I'm still pissed off about the fact that the Cubs never signed the guy. -
I look forward to the conversations with my friends who are Reds fans. Seriously, they have no idea what they're in for.
-
FTFY (fixed that for you).
-
They've had success signing guys like Shingo Takatsu and Tadahito Iguchi, so who knows?
-
Since when did Sam Fuld belong to the caste that handles dead bodies?
-
Sam Fuld will put David Eckstein's heart and grit to shame.
-
Bedard
Outshined_One replied to PrimeTime's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
Well I guess this is credible since he didn't report that it was Eric Beldard and actually spelled Wladimir correctly... He was the same guy who said a deal between the Cubs and Fukudome was close! :D
