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.
-
I'd probably give up Vitters... hasn't his value diminished a whole lot?
-
From Bruce Levine's post on Matt Garza http://espn.go.com/blog/chicago/cubs/
-
Aren't Garza's numbers pretty damn good given the lineups he was regularly facing? I have a really hard time thinking Gorz could do that.
-
I don't get why we do this... it's an entire season and months are just arbitrary intervals of time. I think you could do less arbitrary intervals and have the point stand. Pena wasn't a crappy hitter all year, or even most of the year. It was two extreme slumps that pulled down his numbers, which is consistent with his BABIP for believing that 2010 was more fluke than decline. True enough, but I still don't understand what finding periods of time that dragged his overall numbers down tells us about anything. Especially when the periods of time are separate... if it was a bad first two months or something like that, I might get that a little more (that would likely lead me to speculate that the improvement less to do with bad luck and more to do with turning a corner performance-wise). But picking out two slumps that basically made his numbers crappy... I'm not really sure what to make of that other than I'd guess that most hitters who have bad years similarly have periods of both good and bad, with the bad outweighing the good. Granted, in Pena's case the differences between said periods are pretty extreme.

If Fukudome is dumped or benched for Colvin, I'm not sure who leads off, but it sure is going to suck when everyone realizes how not-good Colvin really is.
