    We miss out on one drinker, so we gotta go after another one?
  2. RockTheIvy
    Thats because the Mets are signing them all.

    If Len was consistent enough to be checking his PM's tonight, he should come on and confirm this when he gets back from where ever he went. He said he'd try Unless his wife wants a little nookie tonight. He may not be back for awhile. I heard a story bout Len: He once at three 72 oz steaks in an hour. He spent the first 45 minutes having sex with his waitress.
  7. RockTheIvy
    Because he's hitting the bars tonight!

    I'd have a tendency to believe AramisFan if he says he talked to Len over PM, actually. Oh it might be true. I just got a kick out of how the post was written. It was like he was out of breath.

    No way, Ronika knew my half-brother's ex-girlfriend's stepmom's great aunt!

    So is Len guessing? Cause RockTheIvy says the same thing.

    Ronny is murding the pitching in Venzeula this Winter. I'd say he is going to be able to fill SS if need be. He started slowly but he has caught fire. I still feel he will start at 2B (unless a trade occurs) if Furcal signs. It doesn't matter that he hasn't planned the position this winter he's young and can adapt to change. I really don't want him at 2B. I'd actually rather have Walker or even Soriano. He could be a very usefull SS but I think he loses a lot of value if you move him to 2B. Well, IF the Cubs have Furcal, and you want Ronnie to see the light of day, it will be at 2B. I doubt Walker will be on the open day roster and Soriano is just not necessary (and his defense is MIA).. I want Ronnie to start too but the least complicated current senario is at 2B. We'll see how things workout tomorrow Don't you think that could hurt the offense? That's just another position that would most likely give us a below .800 OPS. I would feel more comfortable with some more offense coming from 2B. I think Ronny should be traded if we sign Furcal.

    Hence the Booze? No, that's just the alcoholism. And that's just the wife, I should add. A great Onion slogan: I'm like a chocoholic, but for booze!

    I thought it was scoring runs? :lol: FWIW, and not to be a jerk, but it's Mea Culpa Thanks my spelling is bad and I am a bit tipsy. Haha, fantastic!

    I'd rather have Otis Nixon. Can we get Ron Gant too?
  18. RockTheIvy
    Patterson might need a change of scenery, but I dont think Boston is a better fit. They'll be on him just as hard as Cubs fans were. Also if they were to trade for Corey, who do they put in RF?
  19. RockTheIvy
    That's Jeff Blauser and Julio Zuleta, ....but point taken, just the same. Oh god I'm older than I thought. And Dumber.

    Hendry and baker seem to need the MLB equivalent of security blankets. Oh like this? http://img476.imageshack.us/img476/2353/linusblanket3pw.jpg

    It's just like your sig though- they had Williams doing a better job than Rusch at next to nothing. Why sign him?
  22. RockTheIvy
    Also true. There aren't many 23 year old starters who have been in a World Series and a have a career ERA below 4.00. I would actually be okay keeping Williams, but I know he is a very good trading chip. I would rather keep him and maximize a strength then rely on Hill and Rusch to be the 5th starter (assuming Wood is back and healthy). Which is why the Rusch signing is so blowgus. He's crappy out of the pen, where we have 2 lefties already.
  23. RockTheIvy
    We're probably looking at: - trading Walker for Bradley - trading Corey and a prospect for Mench - signing Lofton or trading for Roberts as 4th OF insurance - signing Bill Mueller to play 2B - signing another starting pitcher (Weaver, Byrd) knowing Kerry and Maddux are gone after 2006 The wild cards here could be expanding the Bradley deal to include Lowe, or making a big deal with Arizona for an OF (Shawn Green or Luis Gonzalez) and Javier Vazquez, or the Giants for Pedro Feliz and Jason Schmidt. The Cubs would then have the option of moving Lowe, Vazquez or Schmidt to Philly for Bobby Abreu, if he his actually being shopped by Pat Gillick for a front-line starter. I am actually a fan of getting Mueller for 2B. But would that be in line with the defensive upgrades Hendry has been wanting?

    We could do waaaay worse IMO than Mench and Soriano. One thing about Soriano. I believed he is overrated. But I actually think, because so many people hate his OBP and his defense, that he is actually a better player than given credit for, he has a career slugging of .500, which is damn good for a 2B. I think Goony has made the point that if he batted sixth he could be an asset. Again, I would rather have an infield of Neifi! and Soriano, than Neifi! and Cedeno. So a worst case scenario for me would be something like: Walton CF Rick Wrona C Henry Rodriguez RF Mitch Webster LF Vance Law 3B Doug Blauser SS Julian Zuletta 1B Damian Jackson 2B :wink:
