    If the Yankees get him I'm gonna puke. Gut feeling that winning bid won't come from (Cubs,Yankees,Mets,Boston,Texas) but a dark horse team like the Diamondbacks,Blue Jays,Astros, Orioles that flew in under the radar and make a bold move.
  2. Neuby
    I think we'll get some word tonight on who the winning bid was.
  3. Neuby
    Tommorrow night mlb will know the winning bid and pass it on to the posting team ? Correct?

    Yet, there is one team that appears ready to go toe-to-toe with the Yankees’ bankroll in the Matsuzaka sweepstakes and it may not be who you would expect it to be. If somebody steals Matsuzaka from the Bronx Bombers it might be -- are you ready for this? -- the Cubs. The Cubs, remember, will be to celebrating the 99th anniversary of their last championship next year. O.K., maybe it won’t be a celebration. No one on the south side of Chicago remembers the last time the Cubs handed out World Series rings. But there are some folks there who seem to think one championship every century is not too many and maybe the Cubs should think about winning again. Some of the people thinking that way work in the Cubs front office and can actually impact the team’s fiscal policies. They’ve already hired veteran Lou Piniella, a man who has never been known for his patience, to manage the club. Piniella has made it clear he expects the front office to do whatever it takes to put a winner on the field. Now.

    Sammy put up godly numbers and was loved until the numbers stopped coming. Latroy? He deserved what he got. Ramirez hasn't really been a target of the boo birds more so than any other player the last few seasons. Let's see if his leg injuries continue to be a problem along with his hussle before he gets booed. I think a lot of peolpe on this board are over reactive to way the media portrays players. you just wait. aramis is gonna sign for 13m a year or something and become the new scapegoat of the cubs. the media already hates his lack of hustle, they're gonna hate it more when he's the face of the franchise. I don't think Ramirez becomes the face of the Cubs if Lee has anything close to another 05 type season.

    Nomar's second half: 229/286/408 Did Nomar and Mia buy a house or condo here before he signed in LA? I wouldn't mind Hendry trying to lure Nomar here with a starting second baseman job? We will have protection with Theriot/Cedeno/Patterson for when Nomar misses games. Nomar/2B/5M seems like a pretty good deal compared to what Durham will get in terms of money and years.

    So unless Aramis signs before Wenesday the most important day of the Cubs offseason could come on Wenesday.
  10. Neuby
    I thought all the bids where due on Wenesday and it was gonna be announced on Monday.
  11. Neuby
    I want to say sometime Monday... i'm suprized there haven't been a leaked report about which teams bid.

    really puts the pressure on the Cubs to land DM if there not interesteed in Zito because those are the only three top of the rotation starters out there iin free agency.
  13. Neuby
    Anyone else think the total package for DM with contract and posting fee it could top a 100M?
  14. Neuby
    Is Harrington throwing for the Cubs in winter ball somewhere ? Anyword on if his fastball is back?
  15. Neuby
    When the Cubs where chasing Mike Hampton how much money where they offering?

    http://chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/sports/columnists/cs-061104rogers,1,630308.column?coll=cs-cubs-headlines Seems like philly would be paying a pretty steep price there for Sheffield. Looks like Hendry has targeted getting a guy like Schmidt/Matzuka/Zito and Lilly/Batista/Kuroda and a big bat Lee/Soranio/Wells/. I have not seen Hendry linked to Padilla yet this offseason but I would much prefer him over guys like Lilly and Batista.
  17. Neuby
    Hendry being a goof or not I think the Rays will be getting three arms in a deal for Rocco , Marshall and Novoa are a good start.

    I remember the Cubs passing on Jim Thome because Hee Seop Choi was waiting in the wings. Perhaps they remember that as well. Stole the words right of my mouth. Anyone have any updates on Hee Seop Choi? I think a lot of posters forget the Cubs like all major league teams are allowed three outfielders, it might not seem that way because two of are outfielders last year threw like girls but really they do let us have three outfielders. Crazy and wild stuff.

    I think Arod wants out and at some point we will see Boras approach the Yankees about finding a way to move Arod. Might Arod want go to the Cubs so he can play short for sweet Lou? Right now Both Arod and the Yankees are trying to find an easy way out of this bad marriage. Boras might flex that NTC as leverage to get Arod to somewhere he wants to play. I'm glad Boras and Hendry are known for playing nice.

    Is the score reporting this deal being close to done? 14 million not bad at all. Looks like Hendry will have even more cash to play with. Weren't most predictions with him getting 15-17 million?
  22. Neuby
    Floyd, Maddux, Craig Wilson, Nomar, Loretta,
  23. Neuby
    Bellhorn/Theriot coming would provide Piniella with options for the middle infield and outfield late in the game and would cost less than a Millon between the two. This would allow Hendry to spend big on Craig Wilson. I want Wilson if Jones is with the Cubs next season or not. He's a big RH power bat off the bench that can RF/LF/1B/C/DH/PH he'll probably get around 4 million next season.
  24. Neuby
    Reports have Sheffields deal with as much as 5 million thats deffered and would assume to be picked up by the Yanks. I was just reading Buster Onleys blog and he says some players that might interest the Yankees in Sheff deal are Wuertz and Mabry. No Joke.
  25. Neuby
    What if Jones is in the Sheffield deal? With Matsui, Damon, Cabrera, Bernie Williams, and Giambi, I don't see much of a reason for the Yanks to want Jones. He can't play 1B and would just crowd their OF even more, unless they would in turn deal him for a 1B or pitching help. I agree. I don't think the Yankees would want Jones. It's not like they are dumping Sheff since they could always decline the option. I don't think they plan to get much for him either, but at the same time I doubt they take back a player they don't want. I could see an Ohman or Eyre for Sheffield deal happening. My fear is that the Cubs acquire Sheff to play LF over Murton. The Yankees are picking up Sheffs Option to keep him away from the Red Sox or Mets getting a huge return for him isn't there main motive.
