  1. You are wrong. Best case scenario is Cubs package Cedeno, and Murton, for a better fielding left fielder than Murton. That's pretty much my scenario, actually.
  2. Cubs package Cedeno in a deal with other players for a top pitcher or hitter in the offseason. They'll have the depth at 2B/SS with guys like Fontenot, Theriot, Izturis, and Neifi able to play there. Cedeno has the highest ceiling of the four and might be able to attract some interest from a team looking to add cheap middle infield help.
  3. They could have dealt for Tejada and moved Cedeno to 2B and not have had much of a dropoff in production from Izturis. Plus they would have had the extra money to pay Tejada's salary next year and still have some leftover cash to help out with some acquisitions and trades.
  4. I was dreaming big with LaRoche and I knew it wasn't happening in all likelihood. I would have taken a C level prospect in short season A ball over this garbage.
  5. We got a guy with degenerative arthritis for pete's sake!!!!!!
  6. He's a slick fielding SS with no power and doesn't take any walks. I said it before, we already have two of those guys in Cedeno and Neifi. Why in the blue hell do the Cubs need another who's owed $4.15m next season?!
  7. That brings the Curse of the Billy Goat to a whole new level! :shock:
  8. Slugger_16: remember that time the Cubs got Nomar? Slugger_16: and everyone was happy Outshined_One: Yes Outshined_One: This is like the opposite of that Slugger_16: it is
  9. I'm going to pretend I didn't see this post. There's nothing to like about having someone on the same offensive level as Neifi playing every day. Not to mention he'll be getting paid more than Neifi to be Neifi for 2+ more years. So basically you would of just kept Maddux, and let him walk for nothing? Izturis was a solid player in 04. .288 Average .330OBP 4hr 62RBI 25SB, not to mention the guy is excellent with the glove. His salary numbers are a joke and we already have two speedy no-walk little-power guys who can play SS on this roster in Neifi and Cedeno. Seriously, this is a joke.
  10. 06:$3.1M 07:$4.15M :shock: 08:$5.45M club option($0.3M buyout) Cripes, can't the idiots running the team even get a salary dump right?!
  11. You saw my post on Maddux. You know what I was hoping for. This wasn't it.
  12. Per Stark on ESPN: Oliver Perez and Roberto Hernandez could be off to the Mutts.
  13. Maybe they want Walker as a bench guy? ESPN News said Lowell might be off to SD.
  14. Kip Wells to the Red Sox apparently is almost a done deal.
  15. Big surprise. Orioles' FO and ownership are a joke. If half the deals they were reportedly offered for Tejada were true, I couldn't agree more.
  16. Their farm system is below average in terms of quality of talent. Their top prospect is C George Kottaras, who's down in AAA. He hit well in AA, but is struggling a bit down in AAA. P Cesar Carrillo has a nice upside, but has an injury history that's a bit problematic. Other than that, I can't say I know much else about the guys they have.
