    so who does everyone want at 16?

    What does average matter? Nothing. It does matter a little bit. A single is better than a walk. And both are better than an out. Dunn makes significantly fewer outs while hitting for the same power. He's better. That's what I said a few posts ago. Saying average doesn't matter at all though is foolish. A single is better than a walk. Average matters very little compared to OBP and SLG. Using it as a means to try to rip Dunn, which is what Neuby was doing, is foolish. That's fine, but goony is wrong for saying it has no value. Don't even try to tell me a walk is just as good as a single. Foolish or not I don't want a guy who's production is soley based on the long ball. Dunn doesn't hit 4 any kind of average , strike outs a ton, no speed, and can't play anywhere but first base badly at that . Is that enough to rip Dunn? There's no way he's worth 3 of are top prospects as comapared to Lee.

    The players it will cost to get Dunn makes Lee the easy choice. Dunn is hitting .226. Seriously come back to me when he can at least get it over the .250 line and at least look like he's seen a guy play left field before.

    If the Bulls land Garnett does that make them early favorites in the East?

    sounds like someone has been drinking the sauce.

    Hillenbrand , Nomar and Huff are all free agents this offseason in case anyone was looking for a possible replacement for Ramirez in any deal.
  7. Neuby
    terrible Baker should have thrown a fit and get tossed or ARam someone show freaking fire already.

    If Barrett went on the DL, should we have just sat still with no catcher to replace him? He'll end up missing a total of 13 games with a 1B/DH as our backup catcher (who also happens to be playing every day). Nevin and Mabry are not catchers, Blanco barely is. Put the emergency catcher label on Aramis. Put the emergency CF label on Maddux. None of the above make sense. Putting someone who cannot fill the position in the position is stupid. Plain and simple. It is yet another example of horrible roster management, and regardless of how the team is performing, it should not be ignored. Not to mention that we have 12 pitchers and the bench is short. Funny how you call Blanco barely a catcher and then use the word stupid to describe putting Mabry and Nevin at catcher in an EMERGENCY. Nevin was drafted as a catcher. Mabry was used by the Cards in that role and makes sure to take some time in spring training to work on it. Did I mention Barrett was a third baseman. Also again Blanco barely a catcher? As much as NSSB mob will like you belive that Blanco sucks he's regarded as fine battery mate and has a cannon arm by many around baseball.

    Nevin would fit nicely in a Yankee uniform.

    This would be a no-brainer for Pax -- I hope its true. The Bulls would have some nice options with the #2 and #7 picks. I would definitely agree with that. If he were to land the #7 pick, the Bulls could realistically land 2 out of these 3: Roy, Aldridge, or Thomas. Thomas and Aldridge are expected to fall down to around #7 if the Bulls do not pick one of them at #2. Roy, of course, is expected to go to Charlotte if the Bulls don't pick him at #2. Either way, this could end up being a very productive draft if we can get the #7 pick. Maybe then package #2 and #7 for a proven superstar?

    thats funny that Royals offered Reggie Sanders for Hughes. I know Jones and Willamson won't be enough to get Hughes. If Willamson had been healthy all year then maybe. If Maddux gets hot and would accept a deal to the Yankees I am sure big George would love to get the him. If Cano is out for an extended period of time then maybe Walker will interest him but it will take a pretty large package from the Cubs to get a guy like Hughes. For the record I am all for it.

    This will be Dusty Bakers final series in Chicago.

    welcome to the best Cubs Forum on the net Len.
  15. Neuby
    Chip and Steve over Bob and Len anyday of the week. Although Bob and Len have improved over the last month or so.
  16. Neuby
    Walker would be a perfect fit for a team like the Met's it would be nice if we could get them to take a guy like Willamson to help bolster there Pen. Willamson Maddux Walker Should net a pretty nice package from the Mets.
  17. Neuby
    Wow Brenly has earned my respect with todays broadcast he has been grilling this team and it is well deserved.
  18. Neuby
    The Cubs where in a pinch when they inserted him into the rotation and now that Guzman looks to throwing the ball well and the return of Prior the Cubs are going to bring Marmol along slowly in the bullpen like they did with Zambrano. Most of the those in the minor league forum seemed caught off guard that Marmol was being called up so quickly. Now after one good start and a couple shaky one's the Cubs are at a luxury to go back to the plan of grooming him slowly out the pen. Being reactive would have been keeping him in the rotation and letting him get pounded only because of the sucess of his first major league start.
  19. Neuby
    If Wood won't be brought back next season as a sixth starter at a very low base salary that doesn't affect us bringing in an ace like Schmidt or Zito I say we should explore dealing Maddux to a west coat team. Walker, Willamson,Wuertz,Rusch,Blanco,Nevin, Perez, Pierre should interest some contenders.

    Derrek Lee was a possibility back in the 03-04 offseason. Florida was trying to move him for pennies on the dollar. A few teams showed some interest, but not enough to take on his entire contract. Derrek Lee was an average offensive 1b prior to his 2005 season with the Cubs. When the Cubs traded Choi and Nannini for Lee prior to the '04 season, I don't think anyone here could visualize Lee putting up the '05 season that he did. It was a total salary dump from the Marlins side of this deal. Hendry got a steal of a deal, as Lee not only made it a totally lopsided trade, but he went from an overpaid, mediocre 1b to an underpaid all star 1b in 2005. Medicore? Please the Cubs traded a guy that probably won't be in baseball in two years for a first baseman at the time who was hitting well in a pitchers park and had plus speed and a gold glover. It was a steal then now it's grand larceny.

    104?

    Neuby replied to cubfan1955's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk

    this is I belive the second time Zoma he has hit 104 on the gun this year.
  22. Neuby
    Were fighting for last place and have guys like Hill, Guzman, and Ryu who would also deserve a couple starts to show what they can do but where kicking the tires on Oritz.
  23. Neuby
    Hopefully the Cubs can increase this guys trade vaule by giving him as many at-bats as possible. Give Aram a couple days off at third in the next few weeks. Pinch hit with Nevin as much as possible. Give him a start at catcher while Barett is out. Nevin plus a bullpen arm might net us a pretty good prospect from an AL contender.
  24. Neuby
    Gonzo is in the mix that should make a few posters on this board as I know that there first choice. I want sweet Lou.
  25. Neuby
    who cares? the fact is, he put up a 3.11 era and a k per inning out of kc's pen last year at the age of 22 and the cubs got NOTHING for him. i don't know how you can defend that. No one has to defend anything players turn things around all the time and in the same breath they bomb sometimes. The kid might be an All-Star somewhere down the line but the second time around the league guys are hitting .307 off him. His ERA and BAA are actuallly worse than Rusch's . This kid could turn into Bobby Jenks or his weight and attitude could continue to be problems.[/b]
