Ugh. Lou plans to hit Theriot 2nd. Is Dusty back? I expect he'll be the starting shortstop barring an amazing spring by Cedeno/ another trade. Well, yea. That has never really been in question, unfortunate as it may be. What I and, I think, most were hoping was that Theriot would hit around 8th. -
I would think if they got Figgins while not getting Roberts, you'd see DeRosa at 2B and Figgins in CF. That is, unless they trade DeRosa in a package for Burnett or something like that.

The jerk store called, and they're runnin out of your guy.

So you're saying you just made up that little bit to try to get this thread to 120 pg's? (i'm not saying that like i'm mad or anything, i'm just confused) Actually, I read somewhere that someone heard on some radio station that he was interested in returning to the Cubs. I'm not joking, but it probably has 0% truth and it goes right along with this thread anyway. :) I'm pretty sure he actually meant Abe's rumor that is presumably about Roberts, not the stuff about Walker.

Piniella planning on retiring after next season?
David replied to Sweet Swinging Billy's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I still don't think Sandberg is ready. Of course, if Lou stays for 2-3 more years after this one, then Sandberg might be ready. If he continues to manage. I'd hate to see Cubs fans turn on him if he didn't work out though and I'm not a believer in the hometown guy coming back to play or manage thing. Pub wise it would be nice but it seems more often than not it comes back to burn both sides. Once Hendry gets his extension, I'm not sure I see him going with Sandberg, either. Not that I'd want him managing this team anytime soon, of course. Bite your tongue, man. -
Let The Indians Get Roberts
David replied to Backtobanks's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
And what do we get out of this deal?? Oh, that's right. Jim Hendry's job security. ](*,) -
WCIU HD on Comcast / WGN and CSNC Road Games in HD
David replied to vj9999's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
It'd be nice if they started broadcasting all games (they being WGN and CSN) in HD, rather than just home games, damnit. -
If true, that organization is a joke, and if I were MacPhail, I'd resign immediately.
-
5 post-season appearances since 1984 probably isn't terrible, though.... That said, it should be a lot better given the size of the market and the payroll the last few years.
-
Not to mention the fact that Marquis is ahead of Dempster on the depth chart.
-
Truth and your opinion are two vastly different things. Truth isn't often wrong. Many here probably hate to admit it, but neither is he. And, in this case, he's definitely not.

The average leadoff hitter had a 759 OPS last year, if that stays the average the next 8 years, Soriano has a good chance of remaining average for his position. I'm pretty sure you're joking, but in case you're not, I'd like to point out that leadoff hitter isn't a position. LF is a position. Really a debate of semantics? I'm pretty sure the term they use for the person who bats first in the lineup is "leadoff hitter". And the person that bats in the first position in the batting order is the "leadoff hitter". Not a debate of semantics at all, and goony was definitely joking. Positions and positional values are determined on the field. Lineup order comes after that.
-
Eckstein? He signed for way less than he thought he was getting a while ago. FWIW, he would be an upgrade over Theriot.
-
We're already well past it. Check the Soriano thread in this board format. It's 91 pages and 2270 posts long. This thread is 100 pages and 2490 posts long. I still can't believe he got 8 freaking years. Unbelievable. You agree? It's gonna be nice having Soriano at like 50 bajillion dollars in 2014.

Hah, Mariotti is already set to pile on about steroids when the Cubs do acquire Roberts. Hell, he's doing it now. http://www.suntimes.com/sports/mariotti/734607,011008mariottic.article

Maybe this deal has been completed but the O's want to trade Bedard first then figure out their 40 man situation: Rosenthal That's along the lines of what I was thinkin. Have you spoken to your guy since this morning, BTW?
-
Nah, we haven't seen that at all. :wink:
-
Who knows what "done" means to these people.
-
I don't know if I should even bother, but I'll pass this on for the people that just like to have fun with this stuff, like me. Disclaimer - This is from the guy, Joey, who claims to have his own Cubs insiders and is a Cubs fan that just signed up on their board. In other words, I wouldn't call him nearly as credible as the others. He just signed up on that forum this month. This is not one of the infamous "O's insiders." Also adds...
-
It has nothing to do with him being a "real leadoff hitter" or anything like that, though. I want them to get him because I think he's a better bet to put up the production we're looking for at 2B than DeRosa.
-
I have no idea what you are talking about. I have been incredibly pro-Roberts. One of the more pro-Roberts people on this board. I'm also all for moving Soriano into the middle of the order.
-
Vitters and.... Do Pie or Fukudome count? Soto?
-
Thanks for the update, Bruce. I was kidding about Hendry floating false rumors to make himself look good when he got ripped off, BTW. I, too, hope all is well with the family.

No "Baltimore clowns" are throwing crap around. That's our very own Dave Kaplan from WGN making that report.
