WTF? 3 OF 4 MIF 13 Pitchers Something doesn't seem right here... :scratch:
-
Only assuming that the player(s) we get back are just as likely to help us win this year. Sorry, but if we want to maximize our chances of winning this year it isn't happening by getting rid of Soriano and downgrading to Murton, Cedeno, or whoever. Now say we got back a pitcher, or upgrade at SS, then it might be justified. But when Soriano gets back and his bat heats up, he's going to be just as helpful in getting us wins as anyone else right now. -
Despite his contract situation, I wouldn't trade him this year. Once he get back and his healthy and his bat heats up he will be way too valuable for us this year if we are serious about winning the World Series. Now if the return was good enough that the drop in production from Soriano to Murton/Johnson/DeRosa/Pie was justified by the return I'd do it, but I don't think Drew qualifies. After this year, I'd definitely be much more open to trading Soriano, even if the package back was crap.

Funny thing is that Wagner really is right-handed. He only started throwing lefty at age 10 or 11 because he broke his right arm. Jesus, I wish I could just one day start throwing 100mph with my non-dominant arm. Have you actually tried throwing with your non dominant hand... maybe? Yes and I throw like a complete girl with my left hand. And that's different from how you throw with your right hand... how exactly? Perfect execution, WF22 assists to Rob.

He's clutch, turns out he'll be alright.

So we aren't planning on upgrading safety... sweet. Can't wait for Mike Brown to get injured and our defense become immediately worse.
-
If we improve our line, Peterson and some June 1st cut would probably be passable for the season. If we ignore the line, anyone we could realistically put back there will suck. Plus Grossman will always be on his back. Draft line early.

Why do we have to pretend that "clutch" doesn't exist?
WrigleyField 22 replied to badnews's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Well, I think that certain players might fold under pressure, so un-clutch may very well exist. But I don't think a majority of the players are skilled enough to the point where they can control the bat exceptionally better than normal in clutch situations year in and year out. There may be a handful of guys who might be able to, but I'd bet those guys are also just good hitters anyways, so how clutch is really? -
His response is 100% true, but avoids the fact that he didn't include it in the article. wth
-
I'd go for it as long as it wasn't too expensive and only for a short length.
-
Damn that article really made me miss him. Then it got to the part where it said he was 27 years old. Woah, time flies when he's on the DL I guess. I still had the feeling that we let this super young guy that we let go. Hes only three years away from "being on the wrong side of 30". I'm going to miss him. As much as it would hurt to see him do well somewhere else I really want to see him succeed. After 2003 who didn't think/hope/wish he'd be a Cubbie for life? I just hope that in 2018 we don't sign a broken down 3 tome Cy Young winner, Mark Prior. I feel like I need to change my username. Wrigley Field because that might change, and 22 because I like Hart, but he's no Prior :(.
-
This is what I said a couple pages back, and no one really responded with agreement or disagreement. I agree 100%. Give me Corporate field that looks exactly like Wrigley now over Wrigley Field with corporate signs all over.

Petrick is on the 40 man roster, so for him to be sent back to the minor leagues he has to use up one of his options. The rest are non-roster invitees, so they can just get assigned back to the minor league camp. OK, but why does he have to actually go to Iowa right now? Why can't he use an option and just go to minor league camp in sunny, warm AZ??? he doesn't go to Iowa, he stays in AZ at the MiL camp did we change trp AAA affiliates? I thought it was Pittsburg? That joke was SWEET in 2003. LOL Prior throws towels! Krispy Kreme Hendry! yea...

Well, since I go to school in St. Louis I guess I'm not gonna find the code in my college newspaper. Come on Chicago are college students. Help out NSBB.

Actually maybe a good alternative to BPA is BPAAPON... Best Player Available at Postion of Need, I know not as catchy. Bears need: WR, OT, QB, RB, S So if your top 3 at your pick is LB, DE, WR, I think you should take the WR, even if he's third best. Then going more complicated, it might be LB, OT, DB, DE, WR. And while the OT is better perhaps you think the WR, even though only 5th best is your only option at a good WR, you go for it. And so on and so forth.
-
What is the rundown of all our picks this year? We have an extra third rounder don't we? I'd like to see something along the lines of: 1- OT/WR 2- WR/OT 3- S/QB 3- QB/S 4- OG/C 5-7- BPA As far as RB, hopefully we can find a guy off the FA bargain bin, maybe someone who is an injury risk or is a cap casualty from another team. Then you just let him, Benson, and Peterson duke it out and compete. I'd really only want to draft a RB after round 1 if someone falls.
-
Marty Booker coming back to the Bears. How could I ever contain my excitement?
-
The Bears are gonna need to take some big chances on positions if they want the offense to be good enough to sneak into the playoffs. If I was filling out the depth chart LT- G-Garza, Beekman, Metcalf C-Kruetz Rt-Tait WR1- WR2-Hester/Bradley/Davis RB1- RB2-Benson/Peterson QB-Grossman/Orton TE-Olsen/Clark So we have holes at LT, #1 WR, and #1 RB. Now since we have a lot of money tied up with Benson at RB and its probably the easiest spot to find a diamond in the rough, I'll just assume they bring in a late round draft pick or salary cap cut casualty to compete. Guard could also use some more competition, but that can probably be filled with day two of the draft. We'll need to go LT and WR rounds one and two. I also think we need a safety on day one too. But It would also be nice to get a project QB around round 3/4. There is no doubt that our offense will be below average. But if we can take a bunch of top picks this year and round out our holes with some patch work of outcasts from other teams, we can sneak back into the playoffs with our defense and special teams. Then we'll have another go around at improving our offense in 09. A free agent WR would have been nice, but that doesn't look like it will happen.

I'd rather have Sears Field without the significant signage than Wrigley Field with Sears signs all over the place.
-
Heh, I just got an ESPN text saying the Cubs signed these two. Get your facts straight ESPN!
-
I mean I could see it being lame if I had a bunch of Wrigley Field shirts and no Cubs shirts, but I have one Wrigley shirts and a couple Cubs shirts. Nothing wrong with loving Wrigley Field.
-
This is hard and I can't decide. Theres 3-5 starting pitchers (depending on era), why do we only get to choose one?
-
Why?
-
I think unethical is a little strong, but maybe underhanded would fit. Zell will squeeze every last penny out of the Cubs and Wrigley Field with no regard for the future of the team since he has no stake in it. Has anyone considered how the Cubs use the Wrigley Field name to sell merchandise? I would be interested to see the estimated income brought in by using the Wrigley Field name, as opposed to how much the Cubs could get by selling naming rights. Thats a good point. I know I have a "Wrigley Field" Shirt as well as my Cub's shirts.
