    No. Levine is pretty solid. and the other Bruce is superb, also. Eh, Levine has definitely been somewhat of a whipping boy on here. Most people don't grant him a whole lot of credibility because he reported that a big move was near in 05 or 06 and nothing ever happened. Not that I agree with that sentiment, though, but Truffle was probably thinking of the right guy. I liked you better when you were davhern. lawl

    Well the Yanks don't have names on their jerseys, so Hideki doesn't do it either way.

    IS it Gonna be Kosuke or Fukudome? Why would it be his first name? American players warned him about his name during the WBC, I believe. Rumor has it, he decided then to use his first name.

    4 years 50 mil, not that bad

    Well, the insiders at OriolesHangout have been reporting all day that a big trade is about to go down. They said medical records have been traded between the O's and Dodgers and that Bedard has been informed of a trade. If that happens, they believe the way will then be cleared for a Roberts to the Cubs deal.

    loooool WTF at "heavily favored nation treatment"
  9. David
    Not that that is completely insane, but why would you ever go to the Cubs.com boards, period?

    Why don't we just forget Figgins and sign Lofton? Or just Pie or Murton (whichever is kept) or DeRosa...

    Haven't heard that one Bummer, thanks!

    Bruce, I hate to be one of those guys treating your appearances like a press conference (though you graciously don't seem to mind it!), but I'm just curious as to whether there's any truth to the rumor that the Cubs are interested in Blanton. EDIT to make sense :oops:

    According to the dudes on the Comcast Sports show a few minutes ago, Dan Plesac said earlier today that he felt Fukudome and Roberts were an "either or proposition" and that the Cubs wouldn't go after both of them. Which led to a discussion of which one would you prefer and a lot of discussion on how much Fuk's Japanese stats should be discounted. I think Plesac is way off on that. Makes no sense.
  14. David
    Has this point been touched on yet? It's not saying alot as I can't remember many big free agents the Padres have been in on, but it looks like Fukudome's going to get way more than he should. To answer your question, that's probably about the thousand and tenth time I've read that quote.

    He's an architect. Not an importer/exporter.

    Am I the only one who previously had no idea what the hell a merkin was?
  17. David
    So would I. Hell, I've been paying for it and haven't gotten anything for a few weeks.

    I love mixing my excessively verbose writing style with profanity. This is the only forum I frequent where I can't. :evil:

    I'd be wildly disappointed if he didn't draw a single walk all year. .349/40-45 HRs/50 SB/.482 OBP Huh? Am I missing some kind of joke? What, you didn't know he's the japanese barry bonds? Looks like he's a mix of the pre-roid and post-roid Bonds. :shock:

    Trading him for a career .254 hitter with uninspiring ISOs who's already at arbitration with FA upcoming in 09 is what I consider very little return. It's also been suggested we relegate him to AAA next year to give Mark Derosa fulltime RF duties, or to trade him for Roberts. There's not much support for Pie, but endless praise for Cedeno on here. Khalil Greene in Wrigley for 81 games >>> Khalil Greene in PetCo for 81 games. But I digress. No need to rehash this one.

    It does look pretty damn good on paper, although those SS and 5th starter spots are a freaking eye-sore. 5th starter not so much because of production in itself, but production/cost....

    If this really were to be Hendry's plan A, you're looking at the following team, more or less... Lineup C - Soto 1B - Lee 2B - Roberts 3B - Ramirez SS - Theriot/DeRosa/Cedeno (might have to give him up) LF - Soriano CF - Figgins RF - Fukudome Rotation (not necessarily in any particular order) Z Lilly Blanton Hill Marquis Bullpen Wood Marmol Howry Eyre Wuertz Cotts/Marshall/Ascanio?? Not gonna get into the bench, because it depends greatly on what is given up in those trades... How many games does that team win?
  24. David
    That's twice that that's happened. SSR and I are on the same wavelength today, I guess.
  25. David
    He can do what he did last year, which was good enough to keep his job, but still extremely stinky.
