    Peavy's health is a concern. The padres value Chris Young more than they do with Peavy. Yes, but you need more than 1 good pitcher to win and I honestly doubt they value Young over Peavy. Who is the one being traded? That's some of the worst logic I've ever seen. :roll: :roll: He's right. It's terrible logic. You can't say he's valued less than Young just because there are rumors that Peavy is about to be traded, aside from the fact that there are a million other factors at play.

    The human element is the players playing the game. I can't see why people would celebrate the failure of arrogant umps as "part of the game". My thoughts exactly.

    He got hurt doing cartwheels in the outfield before a game. Ranks right up there with the Sammy sneeze and Jose Cardenal not being able to play because the crickets were too loud the night before and he couldn't sleep. hahahhaha WFT? I've never heard that one.
  4. David
    Depends. If he truly has turned the corner in his career, with his new stance and approach, he's definitely not mediocre. Not with the numbers he put up last year. If it was a fluke, yes, he's mediocre. Either way, paid too much for a guy who is at best going to put up an average Todd Walker year.

    Assuming for a second that what you said actually makes sense, what the hell does it mean? Hendry appears willing and ready to go out and pick up as much trash as possible. The first drop in the bag being DeRosa. DeRosa isn't exactly trash. Did we ovepay? Yes. "Trash", however, is a label best reserved for guys like Neifi Perez and Jose Macias.

    Um, no you didn't. A trade is not a signing. That too.

    Sorry, nobody is going to convince me that trading David Aardsma for Neal Cotts is anything above a "meh" move. Go ahead and try, :wink: .

    I've heard 15 as a start for Soriano and as much as 17/18. Obviously 16 is more attractive than 18, from a team standpoint. But Drew is still the better option, in my mind. Especially if it's "just" 14. Drew $$ wise right between Lee and Aram. Does he deserve it? What else does have have besides his 20 HR and .390 OBP. I just haven't checked his stats thoroughly. Does he hit alot of doubles or something? He has a .900+ career OPS, and he is a good IsoD guy, which means his success is much more sustainable as he gets past his prime years.

    i will give you scientific analysis: the cubs have never outbid anyone for a major free agent. once, macphail was super-excited because the cubs simply were among the finalists for mike hampton. Why did you make me remember that fiasco! Thats one move I'm glad they didnt make though... I thought we did outbid on Hampton, but he choose Colorado because of the area and schools or some BS like that...

    A very good trade. I don't know about "very good." It's a "meh" trade at best.
  11. David
    I thought I heard (shortly after hearing the rumors of Glavine going back to Atl) that Glavine had re-signed with the Mets. Maybe I just heard that he was close to re-signing?
  12. David
    Pretty cool.. Thanks

    That was you?!? http://forumimages.footballguys.com/style_emoticons/default/bowtie.gif LOL.....sorry Chocolate :) No Rex-bashing allowed, darn it!!! ...but colorful nicknames are. Will it be Turnoversaurus Rex next weekend? 8) are you one of the guys who wants to play kyle orton because he "didn't lose games" last season? apparently, people forget about the 5 INT cincinnati game. i'll never understand it. not many quarterbacks can play well when their line is being demolished. rex has made some bad throws this year, no doubt, but he's 12-4 over the course of his career-he doesn't lose many ballgames either....and he's never had a 5 INT performance while throwing a minimum of passes. I don't think Soul was trying to bash Grossman at all, despite the reference to the "Turnoversaurus Rex," nickname. In fact, he made the exact same point you just made (about QB's not playing well under pressure) on the page before this.

    My hope (not expectation) is that they just sign both. The money isn't that hard to figure if they dump Jones, Dempster, and Eyre. What is Westbrook's contract status at this point?
  15. David
    Per the Philadelphia Daily News :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :x :x :x :x :x I don't buy the "set to sign" part at all. No way he signs for that little this quickly. He is, after all, a Boras client, and Boras will milk any potential suitors for all they're worth. I'm sure they might've made an offer like that, but in no way do I believe that he is set to sign anything yet.
  16. David
    Really? I'm starting to have a really good feeling about it. And it starts with the fact that we A) seem to have no interest in Zito, and B) are showing interested in Drew.
  17. David
    It's been confirmed for a while. Muskat first said they were coming back a few months ago. Bleh. At least, we don't have Nomar or Grudz anymore. That looked really, REALLY stupid.
  18. David
    Can somebody tell me anything about Cotts's stuff?
  19. David
    Semi-threadjack, but is it confirmed that the Cubs are putting names back on the home jerseys? I really, really hope not.
  20. David
    QFT I was about to respond with something almost exactly along these lines, particularly the parts about Mike North.
  21. David
    I'd like to see Berrian and Bradley lining up together on the same side of the field. =P~
  22. David
    All those numbers does us no good if he can't stay healthy. As many others here have stated, the last three years he has played 145+ in two of them. His missed time in 2005 was due to a broken wrist on a HBP, not exactly your "injury-prone player" type of injury.
  23. David
    I'm much cheerier this morning. The Drew news definitely helped :D Lots of good news this morning. :)
  24. David
    I really hope this is true. But isn't it possible Boras is doing what he seems to do every year? Mentioning the Cubs as a serious suitor (and the Cubs going along with it) for one of his top free agents to drive up the price for the other teams? We seemed to see it with Pudge, Beltran...
  25. David
    I want no part of Zito. He's good but nowhere near as good as he's made out to be, and he's going to be paid as the guy he's made out to be, not the guy he is. Wouldn't mind Schmidt at all, but it could be the Cubs are scared off by his age and injury history, which you can't really blame them for. Plus, it seems like he's limited his options to the west coast. Wish there was a better free agent class out there in terms of pitchers, but it is what it is. Hopefully, Prior can make some sort of contribution, and Hendry can pick someone up via trade. In terms of free agents, the names discussed don't excite me too much, but hopefully Z and Hill can perform well enough at the top and these guys can round out the rest of the rotation.
