Wow that is some interesting logic Yeah, that makes no sense. this deal was done because of the decision to not bring back wood. it wasn't a choice between keeping woody and trading for gregg. The end result is, Gregg will be there instead of Woody. As for saving 4-5 million -- that seems like a pretty small amount of money for a team to be unloading an all-star pitcher with a 1.085 WHIP when they're already spending over 100 million and talking about taking on more.
Just so we're clear, the deal really is (from our perspective): Gregg for Ceda and Wood. That's an undeniably, unmistakably, irrefutably, bad thing for the Cubs.
Yeah to me it's all about Rose. Whatever you have to do with the rest of the roster to get another quality player or two to play alongside Rose, do it.
I wonder if his tirade will follow him, keeping him from getting a shot as a HC. I'd like him to get a real shot, but I think some GMs will shy away because of that.
What do you mean not Super Bowl calibre? Which group of AFC teams are so far ahead of them that they have no chance to advance to the Super Bowl? Maybe last year I would have agreed with you, but not this year.
Bears about to be put away. Packers just took the lead. Ummm, this day just turned out to be pretty friggin' horrible. I don't care if you have to inject him with some illegal drugs, we need to get Orton back out there.
Titans are good, but they're also really lucky. I feel like we win this game with Orton, and it's not even really close. There have been several opportunities that I feel like Orton easily cashes in on.
It doesn't make any sense because Hester's still young and relatively injury-free, but I'm not seeing the same level of speed and quickness from him. I'm not going to venture a guess as to why that might be, but he's not as crisp on returns.
