    Carrie Muskat chimes in. Mentions what Samardzija thought of his facing Barry Bonds.

    Yeah, the Cubs took him as a 19th rounder in 2004 (as a sophomore - he slipped because of his bonus demands) and he returned to college. Wasn't he at GT when we drafted him, but then he transferred to Tulane? Yup. That year, the Cubs drafted EPatt and Owings. Eric signed with the Cubs and Micah decided to transfer to Tulane.

    Awesome.

    Huh, who is Jesus Valdez? Minor league OF, he was at Peoria last season and will be at Daytona this coming season. I see... Is this his first action this Spring? Probably, he doesn't have any PAs before today.

    Dempster gave up 1 R on 2 hits. DBacks now up 5-3.

    Gameday took it back, Daryle Ward got a walk instead. Yeah I saw that. Gameday has gone crazy on me. And now Jake Fox replaces Daryle Ward defensively at first base in the bottom of the 7th. Gameday is on crack. ETA: And now Fox moves to C.

    :shock: 7.0 IP, 6 ER, 10 R, 17 H, 3 K/0 BB. That's a 2.42 WHIP. And Aardsma's stat line: 5.2IP, 7 ER, 8 R, 11 H, 4 K/3 BB, 11.12 ERA, 2.5 WHIP Great trade, eh?
  13. CaliforniaRaisin
    Will the Scrantonicities open for them?
  14. CaliforniaRaisin
    The Cubs get 1 back (Theriot RBI groundout) and Felix Pie is still in scoring position with 1 out.
  15. CaliforniaRaisin
    The 5 R = 5 ER, sorry. I corrected it in the second post after he gave up his 6th ER.

    Trading an assest for a draft pick. Our GM has been pretty good with 2nd picks of late. Except that asset is worth a first round draft pick. I'd keep him if I can't get a first round pick, he'll eventually play rather than hold out.

    Cotts so far this spring: 6.0 IP, 5 ER, 9 R, 16 H, 1 K/0 BB

    Not me. I'd definitely need more. Maybe the 1st pick in the 2nd round, but definitely not some mid-2nd rounder. I'd have to get a 2008 pick thrown in. You have to consider the market, the Bears have to find a team that 1) Needs a WILL linebacker(or MLB, he could defineltly slide over) 2) Will pay 6+ million for one(Briggs expected contract demands) 3) Will pay this money for a LB with marginal pass rush skills 4) Will be willing to give up a high draft pick If Briggs was still under contract for few more years a trade would be easier. Or 5) Keep a player that's far more valuable than a 2nd round pick. I'd go with #5.

    It's good to hear Guzman is doing well especially since Prior is doing so poorly. I heard Prior's velocity has fallen off. Is it improving? Pie will be in Iowa in my opinion. No rush when the outfield is already crowded. In the near future I see a regular outfield of Murton, Pie, with Soriano moved to RF. I hope Murton starts on a regular basis. I'd hate to see him in a platoon role. Thanks for the updates... Actually, Prior is just pitching in the minor league game, not going to the minor league camp. It's been thought that they're doing it so he can pitch with less attention and no TV cameras (and also so he might not be booed if he does poorly?). Hill is also pitching in minor league games just to get innings. Prior's first start was in the 83-86 range and his last appearance was in the 86-88 range. He's topped out at 89, didn't throw his curve in his first game and struggled with command of it (and his fastball) last time out.
