I agreed. Cedeno looks lost, and overmatched, not to mention he has lost some confidence. Swinging at a ball over your head in a bases loaded situation, and then swinging at a 45 ft curveball in the 9th. He needs help in the worst way. I know I am going to get booed, but right now, Cedeno needs to go to AAA, Nefti needs to temp start (provided he gives up the switch-hitting, and concentrate on batting RH ONLY), and Theriot to be called up.

Lee and Cedeno NEEDS the ASB in the worst of ways.
-
Agreed. Zito has a GREAT curveball, but not a curveball that is worth almost $12 mill per. With Mulder doing his best Rusch's impersonatoin, and Hudson not exactly being light's out, and that is switching from the AL to the NL, which is a easier jump then NL to the AL. So, I would no to Zito.

First: I'm not ready to trade Cedeno. Alot of guys complain about trading guys while at their lowest, this would be it. And I know that Tejada was said to be available last offseason, but who is to say, he will be again? Second: At this point, I am still willing to let Cedeno get comfortable playing at the ML level, Let him continue to get to know ML pitchers, and he will turn out to be a decent hitter. Besides, the Cubs have to have a couple of cost-efficent players on this bloated salary cap team. While adding Tejada, would be nice, I highyl doubt he'll be available.

The question isn't will the Cubs win, but will this thread MAKE it to four pages?

What if the Brewers have the same unwritten rule and the Cubs have to overpay for whoever we get from Milwaukee? Then you trade Maddux to Arizona, LA, or San Diego. Phil Rodgers was on the radio in Milwaukee today and he said he thinks there is a good chance of this going down. He thinks JJ Hardy has lost his SS job to Bill Hall, and the Cubs should target Hardy in a trade with Milwaukee (moving Cedeno to 2B). He also says Greg and Mike Maddux talk 2-3 times a day and do advanced scouting for each other before every series, so don't underestimate the importance of Mike being in Milwaukee. I am NOT impressed with Hardy, whatsoever. He is anothe rversion of Cedeno, IMO. Good/great glove with a questionable bat. Heck, even right now..Cedeno has a better bat then Hardy. Maddux for Hardy would be foolish.

Steve has the appropiate last name for his "man love" of Cesar Izturis...he is stoned...Why should the Cubs give up ARam for Cesar, when all it would take is prolly Wuertz, or Novoa to land Cesar's brother, Maicer? Stoney ain't thinking logically.
-
I say Jackson follows Capuano and throws a complete game shut-out. 3-0. The Cubs do make him sweat abit, but forcing him to throw close to 70 pitches in this game. After the game Jackson will remark to the reporters, that "he has never faced such a patient team like the Cubs."
-
Because of the division rival, unofficial rule, the Brewers will have to overpay just a little bit to get Maddux. Which is possible, considering the D'Backs and Dodgers are atleast two teams (both of which are competing against the Brewers for the Wild Card), I suspect, the Cubs could get two solid prospect, who can help in 07, instead of one great prospect who might help in 2008.

First: If the Cubs were to trade Zambrano (TEAMS WOULD BE LINING UP) the organization might as well do a complete sweep, and trade off the team and rebuild, ala the Marlins. Second: Zambrano is going to re-sign in the offseason. Because unlike KW, Z keeps himself in good baseball shape, and has spend very little to no time on the DL (how he does it, i haven't the clue). Which means it would behoove the Cubs to keep Carlos in Chicago for a LONG TIME, if not his whole career. Third: Depending on what Hendry does in the offseason (should he land Lee and Zito?), the Cubs figure to be more competitive in 2007, and trading Zambrano would be a horrific move (without screwing the other team) and tremendous PR disaster. My guess is...Zambrano will be a Cubs for a VERY long time.

It's going to cost you quite a few worms to do that. Let's bring Billy Martin back to life, before Steinbrenner does, then fired Martin...j/k I will basically endorse anybody as manager---excluding Hargrove and Piniella---as long as Baker is gone. And when Baker is gone, maybe he will take the Fanchise Player with him....you know who they are....
-
With the way Pie is struggling, the decision on Pie immediate future, has been taken away from Hendry/Baker. Pie staying in AAA for the next yr and a half is a very good idea, and I hope the new regime don't disturb that plan.

Hmmmm, I have three choices for the night? Listen to Paris Hilton discuss the problems that the world is facing.... Watch an old movie of Pauly Shore....or Watch the Cubs game... Believe it or not, this is a hard choice... :-k

I liked Crawford's more, because he did it against a "veteran" in Jason Johnson. Plus, Crawford legitimately beat the throw him, so dude, he's like superfast.

What took him so long? Canseco requests a trade
NorthsideAvenger replied to Schwarber Fan's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I know. I guess we have to live with disappointment. I thought Jose was happy in San Diego, but I guess he thought otherwise. :lol: -
The Cubs play tonight? The last time I checked, the last game the last game they played was the game Lee was lost for two months. I don't know who these bums are....but they are imposters.
-
Brandon McCarthy, Josh Fields, Lance Broadway, Brian Anderson, Pablo Ozuna, and they also have to take either Pierre or Jones off our hands. Pablo Ozuna? WTF? You do know Ozuna is the White Sox version of Nefti Perez (slight better hitter, but still crap), so why in the world would the Cubs be interested in another light-hitting middle infielder? I'd take the first four names for both Eyre and Howry, but seeing as neither player enjoy their time on the Southside, and Hendry is hesitant on trading with the Sox, it doesn't look like it will happen.

You're just "starting?" Where have you been man? Most of us have been hating the organization for over a month, even more. -

We're playing Bakerball, we're playing Bakerball.Catch the fever. -
Believes it or nots, the Cubs do have a franchise player. His name is Nefti Perez. Or was it Glendon Rusch? (runs and hide)
-
Sure. Murton, Williamson, Guzman, Wuertz, Walker and Hill. Boom. Don't forget ex-Cub Hairston, he wasn't exactly a fan of Baker's. Jerome Williams, isn't a fan of Baker. But hey as long as Nevin, Perez, Rusch, and Pierre are happy with their playing times, who cares about the rest of those bums, right? I'm still waiting for the "Players' Manager" persona of Baker to kick in. But hey while I wait, maybe I could win the lottery.

Not for me. I was roasted faster then Dusty Baker at a "OBP Party." Thx alot guys...... [-X :lol:

Rusch not available for Tuesday's Game
NorthsideAvenger replied to soccer10k's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Actually, I believe I saw him winning the "Belly Flop" contest.
