    Yeah, Deng + Thomas + a lottery pick? No.
  3. CaliforniaRaisin
    Dontrelle? Miguel Cabrerra after he trades Crede for Lackey?

    Former Cub Justin Jones was also taken with the 6th pick of the Triple-A portion of the draft by the Nationals.

    I gotta agree with goony, seems a bit too major to be quickly back at the phones no matter how routine those angioplasty procedures are these days.

    Yep, he's pretty much the best young pitcher the Astros have right now (although some people argue Troy Patton is better, but whatever). I'd be one of those some people. :) Good trade for the White Sox, even though Taveras is vastly overrated. It's becoming obvious the Sox are stockpiling young guys for a trade (Floyd, Gonzalez, Hirsch).

    Wow, Dayton. Better hope that Meche can turn it around.
  8. CaliforniaRaisin
    Frankly, I expect the Cubs to trade Fontenot. They don't seem to think he can be a utility guy at all.

    Campusano and Holdzkom are equally big losses, imo. Both have positives and both have negatives (Holdzkom: health and control, Campusano: health) and are close enough to sticking for a full season. I was surprised Campusano was selected because the Cubs hid the status of his health really well. Cubs lost in the major league portion: 7. Milwaukee: LHP Ed Campusano - traded to Detroit 17. Houston: RHP Lincoln Holdzkom 21. Toronto: SS Jason Smith Minor league portion: 2. Kansas City: 2B Richard Lewis 26. Oakland: RHP Andy Shipman In the minor league portion of the draft, the Cubs picked up RHP James Henderson from the Nationals.

    Not to mention they can't play any of those three in center because of Slappy. Right. And they're looking at Luis Gonzalez. He is a bottom 5 GM in the majors imo. Let's see.... The Dodgers got Schmidt and Wolf The Cubs got Lilly and might get Meche You forgot Juan Pierre. Nomar, Part 2? I'm calling it, but I hope I'm wrong. Disagree, I think signing Juan Pierre to that contract wasn't a good move.

    http://www.baseballamerica.com/today/prospects/features/262799.html Their Top 20 prospects for 2007 from Baseball America. Pretty sure none of them are on their 40-man Erbe and Reimold look to be good to look after I doubt the Cubs get a top-10 prospect from the Orioles for Bynum. I'm expecting a Carlos Perez-type.

    Felix got the day off in the Tigres loss to the Gigantes.
  18. CaliforniaRaisin
    Tampa has sold the #1 pick to the Oakland A's who will use the pick on San Diego RHP Joakim Soria. MILB.com anticipates Kansas City will use the second pick on Colorado RHP Pedro Strop. Also:

    Wish I coulda seen the game, stupid work. Six in a row!
  21. CaliforniaRaisin
    Meh.

    Comparing Schmidt to Carpenter is apples to oranges since one is on the open market and the other is under team's control for two more years.

    Go Yankees Go!

    He pounded the ball in the second half, and his .060 IsoD is far from a disaster. Did Pie participate in any of the winter leagues? If so, how did he do? In 121 ABs, including yesterday's game: .223/.271/.281/.552, 1 HBP, 7 BB, 23 K, 1 HR, 4 2B, 5/5 SB
  25. CaliforniaRaisin
    Disagree. Lilly was decidedly mediocre. And the Cubs had two LH SP last year too - I'd rather they be quality pitchers than pitchers who can throw lefty. Shouldn't mediocre in a DH league and a stacked divsion translate into at worst above average in the offensively challenged nonDH NL? He still is a flyball pitcher who already surrenders a lot of HRs and walks, I'm not a big fan of that combo. And, for a guy who's supposed to be an innings-eater, he's never thrown 200 IP.
