There's always a bunch of variables like that going into a season for most teams that can make or break years... especially when it's "if xxx has a monster year." That said, the 08 team had a lot of that stuff go our way. DeRo had a great year, Dempster came out of nowhere to be a really good starter, Soto panned out, Harden had his one remotely healthy season and was pretty awesome, Aramis stayed healthy... and the biggest one... Jim freaking Edmonds just saying -
I love Rivers. And I love Cutler.

rofl hahahahaha

You have to be a presumptuous dolt to think you would draft the player you value over anybody in baseball in the first round?
-
Can we please bat Soto 3rd and Byrd like 6th or 7th or something?
-
TyCo? Aww jeez.
-
A trade sending shortstop Jason Bartlett of the Tampa Bay Rays to the San Diego Padres is off, at least for now, because the teams couldn't finalize the deal, sources tell ESPN.com.
-
He's supposed to be good enough with the glove to move Castro to 2nd when he's major league ready. I'm not sure how his bat projects at this point, however. Think I'd rather leave Castro at SS and get a bat at 2B.
-
Can we please trade Colvin this offseason... I don't care if it's this deal or somewhere else... but I don't think his value is going to get any higher than whatever it is right now.
-
91-94 fastball, nasty slider, good curve and change IIRC
-
They're not trading him for freaking Wells. They want prospects. They are trying to open up a rotation spot for Jeremy Hellickson.
-
*squirt*
-
goony was... prompting people to argue about why that shouldn't happen... nobody ever reported anything about wells for garza, as far as i know

My bad. I thought you meant the idea of trading Vitters for him. Should've realized you were referring to him bringing up Wells as the piece he'd trade.

gooney brought it up as a trade he'd (somewhat reluctantly) go for. The only names mentioned on the Cubs' side are that Jackson and Archer won't be involved. That was me... I'm pretty sure goony would be against it.
-
Z, Demp, Garza, Wells, Cashner/Webb looks pretty damn decent
-
I'm cool with both So am I... just seems that some posters are getting the two confused.
-
I thought we were talking about deferred money, not backloading higher salaries onto the later years of a multi-year deal... not exactly the same thing.
-
Deferring money isn't a bad thing.
-
I agree with you. The guy is a lot like Big Z. He has great stuff, but has a hard time putting it all together. Boy has a big temper as well. This guy doesn't have Z's stuff, does he? From what I've read... fastball from around 91-94, nasty slider, solid curve and change.
-
For an arbitration eligible pitcher who isn't all that great? I don't like Vitters, but I would rather he be included in a deal for a guy that is more impressive. Plus, they might need him to start next season when they are clear out of corner hitters. I'm probably pretty jaded about holding on to guys who look like they're not gonna pan out for too long. Obviously, if we could get more for him, I wouldn't include him in the deal...I just have no way of knowing that... but if that's the most we could get for him now, I'd rather deal him than hang on to him hoping his value goes up.
