    What makes you think Corey isn't going to be awful again next season? Nothing but the knowledge that he's a much better player than he's shown this season. And I firmly believe that Lofton could really fall off a cliff at any time, too. In general, I'd rather be hoping that a young player will recapture his form from the past couple of years than hope an old player doesn't experience the decline his peripheral numbers point to. Even if Corey recaptures his "form" where looking at a guy who strikes out way too much, doesn't get on base, can't sacrafice a runner, and makes dumb mistakes on the basebaths all for around what close to 3 million nexr year? Please guys this kid has to thing about playing winter ball this offseason after he turned it past offseasons. Let the love affair end.

    I really hope the Cubs could Package Mitre,Hairston, Patterson and prospects to the Red Sox for Ramirez and cash relief in his deal. Keep Walker Nomar at short for 4 million or less. Cedeno in the wings. Lofton for Center 2.5 or less. Sign BJ Ryan . Lofton Walker Lee M.Ramirez A.Ramirez Nomar Murton Barrett Maybe switch up Walker and Nomar to break up the lefties? Prior Zambrano Wood Maddux Hill/Williams/ Rusch/Prospects ? Assuming Nova, Wuertz, Willamson,Ohman are all in play for pen spots and the Cubs spend a little on quality bench players would they have enough to be in play for Millwood.

    Could we pull off a deal with the Red Sox For Manny? We have the prospects and Cash to make something happen along with Hendry and Epstein having a good working relationship (Nomar, Remlinger). Walker 2B Nomar SS 3 million Lee 1b Manny LF Aram 3B Murton RF Barrett C Cubs let Cedeno be the back up infielder at short , 3b,second. Van Buren, Wuertz, Nova, Willamson, Guzman fight for bullpen spots . Ohman Dempster are locks. Can they bring in a BJ Ryan or Billy Wagner and let Dempster set up? Prior Zambrano Wood Maddux Could Williams, Patterson ,Mitre, Wellmeyer, net us Manny? Do u bring in Rusch to battle it out with Hill and Guzman for that fifth starters role or break the bank and land Burnett or Millwood? Can Hendry find a defensive center fielder with speed that hits left handed .

    My hopes would be Walker stays as utility player like he was orginally signed for backing up third,first, second, left. 2.5 million isn't that bad Nomar starts at second , Cedeno at short. Damon for Center field Murton for Left Giles or another power bat for left field I am hoping Nomar can be had for 3 million or less.

    I wouldn't mind a low ball deal to try to see if he will overcome those baggage troubles to become a reliable bullpen arm.

    ESPN's got a story about how Jim Leyland is looking for a job again.
  7. Neuby
    Not really, it's been reported he actually approved the deal that was orignially "done", and would not veto a trade. last I read Griffey was saying no one came to him with anything and until they do he has no comment.
  8. Neuby
    Gerut out of the game.
  9. Neuby
    If there's a way to make his contract look better I could see Grifffey heating up for a playoff drive.
  10. Neuby
    I am amazed at the lack of action so far.
  11. Neuby
    Could Hendry be making a play for Soranio to play second base? Walker, Mitre, Wellymeyer for Soranio ? Kearns or Dunn for Patterson,Marshall, Koronka?
  12. Neuby
    Wood will throw one inning Tuesday in Peoria
  13. Neuby
    link?
  14. Neuby
    nobody vaules Kelton . Welly,Koronoka, Hairston for Pierre?

    Where in the Admin/Mod explanation (earlier in the thread) did it say that he was banned for posting a rumor? Unless I missed a post the explanation was that he's a troll but they can't tell us why? Sure his post looked fishy but the rumor he heard from his source was pretty much on considering Reds Announcers picked it up in Cinci. If he was trolling he would have pulled it out it of thin air. I noticed a lot of rolling of the eyes of because he has a source , not to call out Hoops but he has some sources and is well respected on the board. Didn't Vance have a source in Houston. To say SE wasn't banned for posting a rumor only hours after posting it seems a little bit of a stretch.
  16. Neuby
    Wow I can't belive se was banned for posting a rumor . Maybe he does have a source in Cincy and the deal fell through it happens all the time. I really think some back pedaling needs to be done fast. The rumor he did post did have some legs. Bruce Levine should never be allowed to join this board otherwise more than likely after his first post in the transacation forum he would be banned.

    Why Carlos Lee? He's nothing special outside his RBI totals. I'd prefer every guy on that list to him. Maybe b/c he'll hit for around a .290 avg, hit about 35 HR and drive in around 120+ RBI..... nothing special eh? I'd rather have Lee than any of those guys actually The same Carlos Lee that's hitting .261? HR totals don't matter to me a ton, and RBI mean little to nothing to me. His lower OBP (albeit with a high SLG) diminishes his production. All 4 of those other guys create more runs than Lee. This thinking is getting out of control. How can Rbi's and Hr's mean nothing. Some of you guys like to talk about runs created, and I have no idea how all that stuff works. What I do know is that the best way to create a run is to hit a homerun. I'll also take a guy with a 150 rbi over a guy with a 150 walks. Agreed . A lot of peolpe on this board are on the verge of ODing on the stats only the arm chair gm's care about.

    gonna have to go against Bruce there's no way Hendry does not do a Hill for Dunn. If the line had been along Hill and Patterson is not much a match for Dunn with Hendry. But to come out and say Hendry wouldn't do a Hill for Dunn straight up has to be wrong.

    Darn, beat me to it :x . Oh well, and no, its not just you. Anyone up for giving Embree a chance, or do we have our own Embree in Remlinger? Why is it that everytime a team RELEASES someone, people think we should pick them up? Boston's bullpen is a mess and they released him. Come on, this is getting silly. well it's not like we have any players on this squad that have been released and worked out well. (Perez, Rusch) or had any in the past that have helped ( Van Poppel , Worrell, Jobo) granted there not huge talents but they contributed . As we get deeper guys that you pick off the scrap heap or call up from triple AAA if they manage to help you win a game or two it's considered a sucess. By the way Embree really sucked this year.

    if the cubs went out and traded for anyone not named wagner, guys like Baez ,Guardao would be backing seting up Dempster.
  22. Neuby
    1908 isn't a good enough reason for a rental?
  23. Neuby
    Can this team play well enough up until the deadline to prove to you that is worthy of a serious buyers mode? If Dunn isn't dealt but there is that one player that can put them over the top do u go the possible rental mode? Do pay a steep price for guys like Baez, Guardaro, Weathes to help strengthen the pen? Or would u prefer Hendry tried the buyer-seller mode.
  24. Neuby
    does that mean activated to the big leagues in five to six day ect or the minor leagues?
  25. Neuby
    If they where thirty bucks I would buy one but fifty there killing me.
