Benson to the Royals
WrigleyField 22 replied to Rob's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
:lol: :lol: Lima: "C'mon Angel, where's your money?" This is where I have to draw the line. Don't get me wrong, Mrs. Benson is attractive, but my God she's not even as hot as my wife. If I'm going to cheat, it's got to be a move up. Have you seen Mrs. Lima? Now, THAT'S HOT!! =P~ proove it. Oh and I don't think this is a great deal for the Royals. Its not like hes cheap. He won't turn them around. Although I do have to say I don't know whats going on over there and what they're plan is. Maybe it makes perfect sense. Either way they get Anna. Can we trade some of our spare rule 5 arms for her? She'd be a great clubhouse presence. -
I can't really say anything that hasn't already said except that simply it makes us better. Yea Pierre has flaws, weak D, caught stealing, weak power. Does Bradley not have flaws as well? Potential headcase, injury prone. The injury prone one really sticks out to me, because I thought the general consensus around here after all the injuries we've had to pitchers and Nomar. Hey I like Bradley, but Pierre can do a good job too. It is important that Hendry makes the right follow up moves, but if he secures even a player like Wilkerson for RF and ensures that someone better than Niefi is at 2B(with Cedeno at short) then our situation looks pretty good. Under that senario maybe we could make a deal for a solid 5th starter. Oh and like someone else said, and it is really annoying, I hate when people can pick and choose whether or not to consider the past years performance. With Howry and Eyre all that mattered was their past failures. With Pierre it is all about his failure for just the past year. Choose one or the other. For me, I'm choosing the career unless it is someone young and on the rise or old and on the decline.

Wow with that roatation you beat my "R" team overall. I still doubt somebody can beat my lineup and bullpen though(specifically the middle of my batting order). Maybe one or the other separately, but not both with the same team.
-
I didn't take the time to read through the whole thread. I would be happy with those guys. I would be happier with Bradley/Wilkerson/Cedeno at those spots, assuming we get a pretty comparable player at 2B when we give up Walker(its gonna happen) likely it would be Perez though :( But lets say its not and 2B is Walker or a similar player(we'll use his name. RF-Wilkerson/Bradley 2B-Walker 1B- Lee 3B- Ramirez CF- Bradley/Wilkerson C- Barret LF- Murton SS- Cedeno

Also if you are really bored and want to "spice up" your post you can make all-time teams or full 40man rosters.
-
Thats a good point, but it seems like if hes on, guys are making new posts soliciting whenever they see him on. You could make a sticky thread telling him he can post there whenever he sees fit... as a rule to the board, don't make new threads everytime hes here. Seems like less soliciting to me. The decision is ultimately up to Tim and the other Mods, but I dont see the harm in considering it.
-
Oh and if you go to MLB.com you can sort out all active players for a position and then just look through the names.
-
I remember a thread like this from way back and it was pretty entertaining. The idea make up a team using players with the last name starting with one letter (or you can combine U,V,Y,Z). Here goes my "R" team. 2B- Brian Roberts CF- Dave Roberts SS- Alex Rodriguez LF- Manny Ramirez 3B/1B- Aramis Ramirez 1B/3B- Scott Rolen C- Ivan Rodriguez RF- Aaron Rowand/ Jeremy Reed platoon defensive Rolen is far superior to Aramis at 3B, but I think Rolen could make the switch better to 1B. Either way they both hit well. Bench: C- Mike Redmond SS/2B- Edgar Renteria 3B- Joe Randa SS/2B- Jimmy Rollins(maybe I'd convert him or Renteria to OF) SS/2B- Jose Reyes(how does OF Sound?) Plus whichever of Rowand/Reed isn't starting Maybe Rent or Randa could add 1B to the resume. And if I didn't have enough MIF already, Hanley Ramirez is patiently waiting in the minors Now to the ugly part: Pitching SP- Mark Redman SP- Horacio Ramirez SP- Glendon Rusch SP- Nate Robertson SP- Wandy Rodriguez CL- Mariano Rivera SU- Francisco Rodriguez SU- BJ Ryan(LOOGY) BP- Arthur Rhodes BP- David Riske BP- Juan Rincon Actually I just have to hope my starters can keep a lead with my offense for six innings until Ryan/Rodriguez/Rivera take over. :shock: :shock: Besides the other solid BP arms I have some others like Remlinger and JC Romero at my disposal. Beat that offense and BullPen!
-
I second this idea. Can a Mod put this in place?
-
Its fun to dream, but lets be realistic, we don't have the talent to pull in those guys. What I see happening is they both stay. The teams that do have the prospects probably aren't teams that would want to trade all their top guys for one guy because they wouldn't be in a position to win so it wouldn't matter. The teams that could use Cabrera/Willis to help win probably don't have the farm talent, like us. The only way I could see us landing one of them (and still this is about .0000000001% chance) is that we send at least 5 top prospects, Pie, Dopriak, Harvey, EPatterson, Guzman, Marshall, Pawelek whomever they want... Patterson would be a good guy to send IMO because he had great success and is far away from having to be put on the 40man, which means longer to arbitration etc. I'm sure they wouldn't want all guys who were a year away.... On top of that you send abou 7-10mil each year for 2 years. Maybe a couple mil the next year too. You want a second one? Throw in 3-4 more prospects and put another 5mil on top of what you already are giving them Say we only want Cabrera, throw this out there Pie, Harvey, EPatterson, Pawelek, Marshall, Pinto, Sing and 8 mil for two years. 2 mil the next year For Cabrera, maybe also the crappiest player in their farm system as consaltion so we don't feel so empty afterwards. Is that worth it? MAYPBE!

Macias to play for PANAMA in WBC!
WrigleyField 22 replied to cubbyvirus00's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
At first I thought, Macias representing his country? But its Panama, there aren't too many Panaminians in the MLB are there. He's probably like AROd over there. -
Wow, I'm flattered and everything, but I've seen some pretty good sigs throughout my time here. I mean in like a couple of days when no one cares about m4d anymore(many people probably already don't) this sig will be old. But thanks I guess. -------------------- Back to the discussion -------------------- Anyone think Hendry just sees visions of Willis in his head- letting go of a valuable lefty. Probably not so, but if it was that would be crap since its two different situations. Just throwing that out...

At this point, I'm not on the Jim Hendry BandWGN still, but I'm not ready to jump on the hate Hendry BandWGN. I'm just gonna keep hoping at this point. Mayube some praying too. Wait, I've been bamboozled. According to your avatar, Zito is now a Cub. Can we still make Hill comparisons? :D LOL. Don't listen to the troll in my avatar he says whatever he wants. I bet by tomorrow he will be proclaiming Dunn or Abreu a Cub. Now they're invading my sig note- none of these are specific references to anything.

If he pitched in bizarro world, maybe. Only kidding, of course. Shawn Estes or Barry Zito, either way Hendry has an unhealthy obsession with keeping him. Agreed. Although he sucked in the majors this year do you think his stock is higher than ever because of his success in AA/AAA? If it is, then we should take advantage and sell high.

These words all strung together made me just choke on my Cheetos. mmmm Cheetos. I thought the same exact thing, but didn't want to waste space on the thread. Now that you did it though its ok and I'll join in. mmmmmmm Cheetos Whats that? Hill is untouchable? :x Maybe that's why I'm gaining weight -- eating Cheetos while sitting on my butt at midnight... Anywho, is Hendry trying to make Hill sound more impressive to increase his trade value, or do you think he actually believes he's more than the next Shawn Estes? I think hes more than the next Shawn Estes. If everything went absolutely right he would be more like the next Barry Zito. He'll fall somewhere in between. Probably a good #3,4 pitcher.

:x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x Did I express my anger well enough? So he won't give up Hill, but it doesn't seem like he'd get a good shot to earn a spot on the rotation... so whats the point? If we aren't using him this year we might as well trade him.

I don't know how many people will agree, but I for one am glad that trade is false. Why don't you want abreu? If the only limitation is no Z or Prior, I don't want Abreu. The Philles have a hole at 3B, no?[Ramirez] They don't need D Lee, but if they could get him they could then go get a 3B AND top of the line starter. I don't get it, you'd only take abreu if you could get rid of z or p in the process? that's just weird I'm not sure if I made my post clear. This thread is for trades that won't happen. And Abreu won't be had for less than at least Prior or Z, which I'm not willing to give up as aren't MOST cubs fans, so we could through everything else at em including pie and pawelek and they wouldn't trade him. They want a front line starter. Therefore: A trade that won't happen is the Cubs sending anyone to the Phils for Abreu (not counting Z or Prior - because they are the only two that might bring a deal to fruition). I get that they want a front line starter, and my point will be way off the point you are trying to make, but despite their desire for a frontline starter, other deals besides Z or Prior could net us Abreu (Lee and Ramirez). I wouldn't want that, but theoretically it could go down.

I would want to add to the list of players we weren't including to Lee and Ramirez.

I don't know how many people will agree, but I for one am glad that trade is false. I think most would agree. Maybe the point was we should stop talking about getting Abeu becasue thats the cost?

It's pretty obvious from whoever it was (Vance?) who posted that ramblings row of exclamation points right above his MS Paint illustration of Zito as a Cub. Actually its a direct quote. Wait is it the parenthetical statement from M4D's Zito rumor mongering last night? ding ding ding. from his first post.
-
Am I crazy or does that trade not seem all that wildly off if we offered more prospects? He did say, anything thing from absolutely ridiculous to almost possible (or something to that effect). As long as it has no truth.
