Eric Byrnes Bobby Kielty Jeff Conine Preston Wilson Jacque Jones Shawn Green Jody Gerut Laynce Nix Jason Michaels Matt Lawton David Dellucci Juan Encarnacion But on that list, I bet these are the ONLY legit OFers they could land. Whether teams are not ready to sell (TB, Oak, NYY), or propsects to move for an OFer (Kearns,Dunn,Huff), or whatever the case is. Personally, it wouldn't surprise me if they ended up with Jody Gerut or Matt Lawton.

Gut feeling time, but the Cubs are going to win it here.
-
he will wait until the deadline like always. However, I don't think we are good enough to try that ths year. We might have to be sellers this year I'm all for that. I don't think Cubs should look into trying to make moves for a mediocre run at the playoffs. This team isn't good enough, nor should the Cubs try and "put a bandaid over a broken bone," and try to sell a loser team as a "playoff" team.

Baker Forcing a Trade??
NorthsideAvenger replied to PackLandVA's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
Now the REAL question is, would it be too late? -
With the way the A's have been playing---8 in a row, and 12- of 13---I SERIOUSLY doubt Kotsay is going to be available. IF he is, Beane is undoubtably going to shoot for the moon (Pie AND say one or two of the following Gallagher/Hill/Harvey/Dopirak) and demand that kind of pacakge. So, right now, I think you should look in other directions for a leadoff hitter. And Lawton, I think Littlefield, would try and make up for the ARam debacle, and ASK for more then he is worth from the Cubs.

What would you do if/when the Cubs win the World Series?
NorthsideAvenger replied to Rusch33's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
The question is.....what would you do if the Cubs won the world series? Hmmm...that's a toughie. BUT, I would give up the secrets that has haunted mankind over the past 100yrs. You know "who shot Prez Kennedy?" Where is Jimmy Hoffa? What is ESPN's fascination with the Yankees/Red Sox? Is Hillary Clinton a man or woman? :lol: :wink: Just kidding. For real: in monotone voice I would get down, get durty, get naked and shake my manly boobs around like I don't care, cause I would be WAY past drunk. The level that would be approaching the White Sox fan level of rowdiness. And after I am release from jail for disorderly conduct, and being "wrongfully naked", I would go home and repeat step #1. Then I would "Fly like an eagle" to Wrigley and scream at the Cubs management "WHAT THE WORLD TOOK YOU SO LONG?" And then I would go over to the White Sox fan, and just TAUNT the ever crap out of him/her. That is what I would do. :twisted: \:D/ -
NOW imagine if he had SOMEBODY on in front of him.

I think we can rest assure that Hendry has NO intentions of trading Cedeno. He has already turn the Rockies down once, and he will turn them down TWICE. I mean this is a Rockies team that asked for Church and somebody else, I believe. :roll: I suspect, IF the Cubs do acquire Wilson, it will end up being something like Welly and Fuld (or some low-level decent prospect) for Wilson.
-
It doesn't make sense as to why the Rockies would want Ronny Cedeno in the first. 1: They had the "front-runner" NL ROY SS Clint Barmes. 2. One of their top prospects in the organization is Chris Nelson. Third they JUST drafted a SS in the first rd....Troy Tulowitzki. Them asking for Ronny Cedeno is beyond redundant, and I believe Hendry has to know that, and thus WON'T put Cedeno in the deal.
-
Now if the Cubs could get a LEW more players that can actually play, then they will be in business.

Corey Patterson?
NorthsideAvenger replied to The_Realist's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
I think you'll see Hendry aggressive shop Patterson around this offseason. If not before the trading deadline.
