    ouch Cleveland needs him for this deal to work he was there replacement for Howry and Rhodes.

    I love the Miller signing but if Weaver can be had under 10 million for one year I would still strike a deal with him. Weaver will be ready April first and still hasn't shown how good he can be. Prior Zambrano Wood/Miller Maddux Weaver odds are one of Miller or Wood is pen bound plus we don't know if either will be anything but league average coming off there injuries. We should be able to create a nice package of pitching for a bat come July or June.[/i]

    The Gary Hughes bashing on this board is nuts. I haven't been able to follow things lately as much as I used to but is Jason Dubois playing in the California penial league this season as a DH?
  4. Neuby
    the reds should have jumped on the Jack Westbrook to get him for Kearns who can't stay healthy and hasn't shown much at the major league level a cheap starter like Westbrook would have been a nice net for them.

    Jason Dubois is star in the making and so is Micheals remember we are all smarter than everyone working in MLB. Once everyone understands these rules we will all get along better.

    Miller was on Sports central tonight along with his agent? Miller mentioned he didn't want with an option year. A lot of teams offered him that and NRI but he wan't to come to the Cubs all along. He said he will be ready for the rotation for Mid May he seemed pretty sure of a spot in that rotation considering if everyone is healthy he might out out luck. Prior Zambrano Wood Maddux Rusch/Williams/Hill/Guzman/ considering I think one of those last four will be dealt before ST I would assume come mid-may one of those four guys will have pitched well enough to ancore that spot down.

    Does anyone know if Miller still has the stuff (i.e., velocity on fastball and snap on breaking pitches) since the injury? I will wait and see what happens, but IMO stockpiling injured pitchers isn't really a formula for success in the short term and is quite a gamble in the long term. A good buisness always needs insurance. If the Cubs where betting on Miller being there 5 starter in April then thats a gamble. With eveyone healthy Miller might be AAA filler Zambrano Prior Wood Maddux Rusch/Williams/Guzman/Miller/Hill/Valdez /Welley. Dempster/Williamson/Howry/Ohman/Eyre/Wuertz/Nova the Cubs have assembled enough arms this year that whatever Miller can give them is a bonus .

    Any reports out of the Cub Convention how Williamson is feeling ? He got to air it out a little bit last year and get some innings under his belt. Any word on health or velocity?
  9. Neuby
    If a catcher gets a long term injury in the WBC his vaule will go up. I would replace Molina with Barrett in heartbeat of we could package him with others. Barrett, Hill,Wuertz, Welly for Abreu
  10. Neuby
    I love this signing . I think Williamson will be healthy this year and could turn out to be a steal 2 million.Hopefully he can be brought along slow with are solid pen this year. If Miller is healthy the Cubs will find a spot for him.
  11. Neuby
    Manny and Abreu are out there for the right price.
  12. Neuby
    Deal just got bigger http://www.boston.com/sports/baseball/redsox/articles/2006/01/23/source_sox_agree_to_crisp_deal/ Andy Marte, Kelly Shoppach, Mota Crisp, Riske, Bard

    I don't think Welly or Nova is a good place to start. Welly really doesn't have any trade vaule he hasn't mad much sucess in the majors in any role. Nova looks like he could be a set up man closer somewhere down the road but it's hit or miss. The Phillies are looking at getting Rhodes who even at 36 is a solid left handed set up man and according to most reports another reliver in the package for the price of Micheals.
  14. Neuby
    Weaver better hurry up pitchers and catchers report soon. Prior Zambrano Wood Weaver Maddux
  15. Neuby
    If there aren't any bats out there to had , which there doesn't seem to be I have no problem offering Weaver a one year deal . He'll get you a ton of innings. He's still young enough where he might put it all together and turn the corner and give us 17 win season with his stuff. Prior Zambrano Weaver Maddux Rusch/Williams fighting it out in spring training for the final spot. Ohman Eyre Williamson Howry Wuertz/Nova Dempster I think Nova could start the year in Iowa this season or in the majors if Williamson doesn't look like the pitcher of old but like the guy we saw last year. Rusch/ Williams could be the long man because Im pretty sure the Cubs are going to carry 7 pitchers. They won't have to rush Wood back at all and give Guzman and Hill more time in the Minors. You can never have enough arms.
  16. Neuby
    Have the Cubs been mentioed for Weaver recently?
  17. Neuby
    rumors had this being part of a deal for the mets to get Zito.
  18. Neuby
    interesting that weaver might take a one year deal. If I where Hendry I would have to make a run at him. You can never have enough pitching. Weaver seems to remain healthy over his career and could finally put it together working with Rothschild and being at best a number 3 on this staff. If the Cubs are tanking around July he'll bring in some nice prospects at the deadline.
  19. Neuby
    I want one where are these going?
  20. Neuby
    Rotoworld is saying that Arroyo went against his agents wishes and gave boston a discount. They speculated that Boston gave him a gentlemans agreement not to be traded this year.
  21. Neuby
    Bostondirtdogs has a reports from WEEI with a scoop that the Red Sox have talked to the Reds about Griffey for a deal involing Arroyo.
  22. Neuby
    I have read reports that Sweeney was promised a lot of playing time at first base along with Lance Niekro almost on a platoon basis. I don't think he would have seen those same at-bats here with Derek Lee at first base. I think Hidalgo is a guy that thought he was going to get get better offers but now its getting closer to the dance and he still has no dates expect from the cross eyed chick.
  23. Neuby
    listened to espn radio the last in the car hadn't heard it reported.
  24. Neuby
    Gload was a Marlins Prospect , Jackson can't stay healthy, Kelton tanked at third might have been a fringe major leaguer had he stayed there or moved to second base. Kieschnick turned out to be a better pitched. Hinkse had brief sucess. Choi still might be was overated by many.
  25. Neuby
    That's really not an argument in favor of Hendry. Hill and Choi were tagged as utility and platoon players, respectively. Also, please factor in that the players that those 2 were benched for weren;t exactly all star producers. Yeah but they played well enough to get us to the playoffs. We spun Choi and Hill for the teams offensive cornerstones. Didn't Depo platoon Choi last year?
