    I really really hope the Chicago media takes the Cubs organaztion to task for not being forth coming with information this has gotten out of hand. Does this hurt Jim Hendrys ability to trade with other teams did he tell the Orioles Prior had lingering injury problems? I think not.

    How come we couldn't ever get decent major leaguers who could consistantly hit .300 for minor league pitching when that was all we had to offer a few years ago? Too reluctant to trade the pitching. Now most of that pitching has been injured and/or didn't pan out. I blame the scouting dept who hasn't been able to help Hendry recognize when to make a trade or not. The Cubs haven't traded a minor leaguer at their peak value yet. Sanchez? Beltran? Choi? Bobby Hill too... Just because the Cubs got good return for those guys doesn't mean they were traded at their peak value. Choi was coming off an injury he never seemed to recover from. Hill struggled in the spring and was mediocre in the minors before he was traded. Sanchez had thrown horribly in the spring and his control was fading even more so than before. Jones was injured at the time he was traded. I'll give them Beltran. He was at his peak value having some ML success. Brendan Harris could go either way as he didn't get a chance in the majors to show what he could do, nor did he completely tank in the minors. I never understood the argument that the Cubs fail to trade there players at peak vaule. If they did trade them at peak vaule then the argument would be that the Cubs don't vaule there young talent or give them enough of a shot. The Cubs have a pretty good return on the guys they have traded lately.

    trading your third best hitter for a backup center fielder? Grissom could fill that role. Greenberg might warrant a shot. There was plenty of guys on the scrap heap to pick up this offseason to make this trade now would be terrible. I don't want Walker going to the Orioles unless it brings up back some quality prospects or part of a package to get Miggy.

    terrible

    I think the Cubs think Marshall might be ready to suceed at a higher level in the majors sooner than Hill will reach his. Right now Hill with that Curve and a fastball in the low 90's could be very effective out of then pen even if he doesn't add a third pitch his control will play a lot more important to his sucess.

    In tommorrow Trib Phil Rogers mentions that Tony Graffinio being shopped has hurt the trade vaule of Todd Walker and Jerry Hairston Jr and the best deal they could get might be if they picked up the salary and shipped either to Flordia. Jerry Hairston Jr might be an option for them at second and center field.

    I don't see Hendry being let go, I don't think Dusty wants to stay in Chicago either way.

    everyone's favorite site Mlbtraderumors has some info about the Cards kicking the tires on Cabrera. Pujols/Cabrera talk about a foundation for years to come. Mentions the Cubs begging to get in on the action for Cabrera. Site also mentions that he got report yesterday from an emailer about a Soranio report on the score that the Cubs were still kicking the tires.

    The fact that Luis is only 24 makes me thing he still has a chance to nice utility role for the big league club.
  10. Neuby
    wow he's third in the league in hits the last few year behind Pujols and Ichiro. Thats some nice company.
  11. Neuby
    Sam Madison is a free agent and the kind of guy that could cover Steve Smith.

    His biggest goal this season is to win a gold glove doesn't think it's beyond him. Says the White Sox have put a sense of pressure for them to win. Doesn't want the White Sox to steal a younger generation of fans . He wants to be that team that everyone roots for.
  13. Neuby
    interview coming up. Hendry, Murton, Miller all are scheduled to appear this week on comcast.
  14. Neuby
    On comcast a panel of beat writers one mentioned that there info in the book that Dusty knew of Bonds routine.
  15. Neuby
    Hidalgo just got released by the Orioles. It's still early in camp he must has looked really lost at the plate or showed up in terrible shape.
  16. Neuby
    Hendry has a good relationship with Marlins from the Dlee and Pierre trades so maybe he has the inside track. To get a young (22) star that can play all four corner spots with a plus arm would be huge for Cubs future. Pie, Dope, Brownlie,Welly,Marshall
  17. Neuby
    so how much money do the Bears have for this offseason?
  18. Neuby
    Wow Bonds is an idiot with his money he was able to buy the best drugs in the world and use a plan by a top rate trainer but choose not to follow and just keep injecting.
  19. Neuby
    I think the writer meant to say the White Sox, but there's some smoke that the Reds will be dealing one of there outfielders. http://www.newsday.com/sports/printedition/ny-spflash054651818mar05,0,7823037.column?coll=ny-sports-print

    Kirby was great to watch play and will be missed.
  21. Neuby
    And wants to go back to the AL after this season. Bowden may give Soriano away for pennies on the dollar tallent wise, but he will still cost @10mill for the privilege of him agreeing to play 2nd base poorly. I'll take his crappy defense at second base if the cost playwise is cheap enough. The Cubs lineup really needs another bat and his 30 homers 100 rbi along with 30 steals will help a lot.
  22. Neuby
    I think Bowden will sell Soranio soon for pennies on the dollar I hope Hendry can swoop and get him cheap.
  23. Neuby
    Someone told me Matt Lawton and Alex Sanchez work out together.
  24. Neuby
    He also led the 90's in doubles.
  25. Neuby
    He replaces Jason S who left camp with a shoulder injury as roster filler.
