    if we signed Jeff Weaver I would do it in a heartbeat. Prior Zambrano Maddux Rusch Guzman/Koronka/Brownlie/ Valdez That five spot in the rotation could cost a bunch of wins that first month although Koronka has thrown well. I put Brownlie in the mix I just saw his name mentioned as a shot at making the rotation in the papers or Cubs.com. I don't think Valdez is ready for the bigs and I really want to take baby steps with Guzman. Going with a four man staff until Wood or Miller makes me think they would be rushed back and putting any more strain on Z with him already playing the WBC is a really bad idea. If you deal Hill and Williams Weaver at one year deal would be nice. Pierre Walker Lee Dunn Ramirez Jones Barrett Cedeno Has some balance and speed and power throughout. Prior Wood Zambraon Maddux Weaver Miller and Rusch spot starters or trade bait

    Ohman was a well thought of prospect before he got hit hard by some injuries. Last year was really his first full season in the majors he's only 28 and is quite a bargain. Lefties hit 173 off him and though righties killed him at 231.He has some pretty unhittable stuff for one inning and would hate to lose him for a bench guy and an overhyped one at that.

    And some people always resort to hyperbole and absolutes to make their point. Oh, wait... Im gonna agree with Cubsdad4ever there's a large group on this board that likes to believe that they know more about players trade vaule then the peolpe that work in the game today and tend to have some very negative attitudes towards some of the most respected minds in the game today (Hendry and Hughes). A lot of peolpe on this board love to mention Sisco as a mistake on Hendry part but some to fail to give him credit on knowing when it was time to cut ties with some of the boards favorites Cruz ,Choi, Dubois ,Jones, Harris, Hill who have all gone on to have such sucesss elsewhere.

    Did Dubois get arrested? nah J/K
  5. Neuby
    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?
  8. 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.
  9. Neuby
    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.
  11. Neuby
    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 .
  12. Neuby
    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?
  13. 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
  14. 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.
  15. Neuby
    Manny and Abreu are out there for the right price.
  16. 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.

    Weaver better hurry up pitchers and catchers report soon. Prior Zambrano Wood Weaver Maddux
  19. 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.

    Have the Cubs been mentioed for Weaver recently?
  21. Neuby
    rumors had this being part of a deal for the mets to get Zito.
  22. 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.
  23. Neuby
    I want one where are these going?
  24. 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.
  25. 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.
