It doesn't make sense as to why the Rockies would want Ronny Cedeno in the first. 1: They had the "front-runner" NL ROY SS Clint Barmes. 2. One of their top prospects in the organization is Chris Nelson. Third they JUST drafted a SS in the first rd....Troy Tulowitzki. Them asking for Ronny Cedeno is beyond redundant, and I believe Hendry has to know that, and thus WON'T put Cedeno in the deal. Add in the fact that they already have a top prospect at 3B in Ian Stewart...I really can't figure this deal out. They can't exactly shift one of their players over and moving some one like Nelson or Stewart out into the OF would just be more trouble that it's worth, imo. Plus Barmes should be coming back sooner or later. They're all better than Cedeno...so why in the blue blazes would the Rockies want him?! These rumored deals just aren't making any sense. The only way it would make sense is if the Rockies are shipping one or more of those prospects off in some sort of deal either involving one team dumping a high salary guy on them with cash or if the Rockies are shipping Todd Helton off somewhere and tossing in a really good prospect or two to make the deal palatable. Can anyone else make any sense of what the heck is going on here from the Rockies' standpoint? -
They get some one who can actually play CF well. He's always been a highly-rated player with pop and speed, so I'm sure that if the Yankees believe they could turn him around, they'd jump at the opportunity. Remember, being a left handed hitter at Yankee Stadium is a plus, since RH hitters typically have their power numbers suffer there.

Draft Analysis: Rounds 1-5
Outshined_One replied to T2E's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
Thanks for the analysis T2E! -
If we get Kotsay, my guess is that the Corey Patterson era would officially come to an end. As much as I have rooted for Corey and wanted him to live up to his billing, I think the Cubs would be best served to use him as a bargaining chip. As much as we rip on him, teams won't be able to pass up on his upside, especially considering how young he is and how good of a defensive CF he is. Make no mistake, he'd draw plenty of interest if he were available. I wouldn't be surprised to see him involved in a deal for a power hitting OF if we get Kotsay.

Where should a new Wrigley be built?
Outshined_One replied to blazedays's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
If the Cubs HAVE to build a new one, why not the lakeshore? I grant you, getting there would likely be an absolute nightmare via car unless a bunch of routes are diverted/created, but it would be a pretty neat place, especially seeing stuff like home runs hit into Lake Michigan and some nice potential updates to everything (especially the food!). However, I think Wrigley has plenty of years left in it and even if the Cubs leave it, the city will leave it standing. Do with it what the Yankees are going to do with Yankee Stadium, ya know? Turn it into a museum, loan it out to local colleges, high schools, and little league teams to play on it, add a couple of restaurants and bars, and make it into something fans can enjoy even without the Cubs. It'd be much better than demolishing it, imo. -
Which Cub should have an [I Live For This] comercial?
Outshined_One replied to Omar's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Ditto. -
Kerry Wood's trophy chest must have a heck of a lot of Simulated Cy Youngs at this point. I don't know whether to :lol: or :cry: at that.

Corey Patterson?

If I looked like my avatar, I'd be happy. :D -
BJ Ryan is #1 on my wishlist for the offseason.

Darren Oliver.

How do you know he doesn't lurk here? 8)

23 of his 30 hits have been for extra bases this year (11 HRs, 1 3B, 11 2Bs). In translation, that means a little over 75% of his hits have gone for extra bases this year. Let's stretch this out for a full season and improve his average. Assume he takes 552 ABs and posts a .333 AVG. This would translate to 184 hits. Of those 184 hits, 138 of them would be for extra bases. Considering he likes to hit with equality and triples rarely, he could post something like 67 2Bs, 4 3Bs, and 67 HRs...or something thereabouts. That's...that's just wrong.

Eh, I remember last year when Hollandsworth was our best baserunner. He didn't seem to be the fastest guy on the field, but he was very instinctive and aware. He took an extra base every now and again because he exploited other teams' defenses pretty well. That and I'd have to believe he's faster than Macias, Blanco, or even Dubois.

I just realized I missed the most prominent name of all... JUAN CRUZ Ugh, that one brings back painful memories.
-
He had to come back down to Earth sooner or later. Although, knowing Dusty, we'll soon be adding Cedeno to that list I posted...

I was talking about the misuse of talented players. :D

I posted this in the Game Thread, but figured it might be a nice addition to the thread:

Knowing Shaq, there wouldn't be leftovers! :shock: :wink:
-
He got mugged. Although, he wasn't the only Bull to take physicality tonight without the refs being blind to it. :x
-
Garbage. Utter, utter, utter garbage.
-
Ah yes, the old bounce pass off of your teammate's head. Well-orchestrated.
-
See, I'm not nearly as trained at spotting fouls as I am penalties in football and the strike zone in baseball. However, even I can see that this game has been so poorly officiated with some incredulous dumb calls. Where does the NBA find these idiots?
-
The refs should be the ones to move on to face the Heat in the next series. This is ridiculous.
-
Soft tossing lefty who was drafted as a senior out of college left year. He doesn't throw very hard, but considering he throws with his left hand, he could find himself as a journeyman reliever down the line.
