  1. Sadly, we are probably giving this guy exactly what he wants. 40 some posts in about 30min. edit- 50 some posts in less than 30min
  2. At first I was mad for this guy getting my hopes up the little bit he did. But now this is just humorous. I'm loving it.
  3. If you can upgrade RF over a potential Jacque Jones signing, then it might be worth it to slightly downgrade 2B. I still think Soriano is a strong possibility. Loretta is a guy I know the Cubs would have interest in, who seems to be available for relatively cheap. I'd do Walker for Cliff Floyd. Trade for Loretta or Soriano and go get Wilkerson or Bradley Why not just try to get Wilkerson AND Bradley, and forget about tading away Walker? Oh thats right we're the Cubs. (Note: I have never been this negative about the Cubs, but I'm afraid that Hendry has screwed himself over by throwing all his attention at Furcal. Now he could salvage the offseason and still come away with something pretty good, but will probably try without success to land Abreu, while missing out on guys lik Bradley and Wilkerson, therefor having to settle for Burnitz or something) Not saying he shouldn't be looking at Abreu or Dunn, but Don't let other options waste away while doing it.
  4. I'd switch Walker and BRadle in that lineup. And if thats our lineup we better throw some money towards starting pitching.
  5. :( :( :( 2006 Bench Macias Niefi/Cedeno Mabry Blanco Hairston You're probably right. That looks like it could be our bench... :( :( :(
  6. I believe that his agent wants to see what Damon gets before he starts looking for the type of extension he is loooking for. We're talking franchise CF here. I'd say take whatever Damon gets times 1.5 in both years and money.
  7. I'm sure you didn't mean anything by that comment, but I find it sort of offensive. The way its states makes it seem like you're saying non-premium members are somehow less important, or don't care as much. If I had the money I would gladly pay for Premium, it's a great site. I have posted here a while, since 2003. Eventually maybe I'll be able to fork over the money for Premium, but for the time being, I'm just a 'regular' member. Hopefully its okay for guys like me to 'post nonsense' here. I don't think you should take it personally. It was an attack on the posts that those two made. It really didn't have much to do with non-premium members vs. premium members. It had to do with inflamitory posts that had little basis in reality. Its what I figured, but when you attack someone/thing and also mention non-premium, it sure looks like a generalized accusation of non-premium members not contributing to the board as much.
  8. Do you consider 18-1 undefeated? Then no. There's a significant chance they can go 16-0, but I still think that Cincy, Chicago or Carolina can potentially beat them in a playoff matchup. I highly doubt Chicago could beat them. I agree. I love my Bears, but we likely wouldn't beat them. We could probably hold them to 14-17 points. However, I'm afraid that if we did do that, theres a good chance that we only put up one score or so. It is the NFL though, no game is a guarantee. And the Bears have a chance if their D steps up REAL big.
  9. great post. i agree 100%. of course some know-it-alls on this board said no way giles doesnt go to the highest because its all about $ but apparently they were incorrect. When the board starts working better I'd appreciate it if either of you to coould produce even one post where anyone here said any of the things I've bolded. If you can find even one post I will pay for each of you to have a months worth of premium membership. =; you big spender :) It is a month more then they've paid Tim for the privilage of posting that nonsense here.

  11. Although I would have rather seen a guy like Mitre, who has to make the roster or risk being lost on waivers, we obviously had to clear some room on the 40 man. Its possible that Hendry wasn't able to have a team take Mitre, so he had to give up JVB. Also maybe Hendry has different plans for some of the other guys. This isn't the last of the surplus arms that we'll see go in a trade. And who knows who we'll get in a trade. It could be a servicable prospect.
  12. IIRC Tom Goodwin doesn't have good patience right? Greeberg does, so thats one advantage. Besides a Goodwin type player is a good 4/5 OF. And theres the chance he could surpass those expectations. I mean they could at least get something for him. Throw him in the Bradley trade, use him a pospect as a part of a bigger deal to get a RF, SOMETHING.
  13. Is it possible Hendry is aquiring Bradley for RF, and still plans on trading for Pierre? SS-Furcal CF-Pierre 1B-Lee 3B-Ramirez RF-Bradley LF-Murton C-Barrett 2B-Cedeno/Perez There have been a lot of rumors thrown out at some point for OF, with a couple of guys like Wilkerson and Bradley the ability to play 2 different spots. Hendry has a lot of options.

  15. I noticed that BA rated Soto as best defensive catcher. I thought Reyes was supposed to be the best defensive catcher we had. Anyone who has seen them play care to give their opinion?
  16. What does BPA mean?
  17. I got 122. I took some risky guesses (Moore) that didn't pay off. Oh well.
  18. How can so many people like the blue shirts? :? Especially when they wear them with pinstripes on the bottom it just looks akward. If they insist on wearing them, they should at least change the pants to just plain white. I would like to see them done away with completely at home. Road I don't mind as much, but still would prefer the grays to them.
  19. I don't get why people think Soriano and his .320 career OBP(.309 last year) would be great. Also just another righty bat- not saying we need a lefty bat, but if you're gonna make a bad deal at least get a lefty bat Bad defense etc. If this rumor was true, I don't think it is, then I will stop being a Cubs fan until Hendry is gone.
