Maybe Joe Blanton of Oakland. Matt Clement seems to fit that mold, an expensive as it may be. Other guys could fit the mold are Aaron Cook, Steve Trachsel, Kris Benson, Jake Westbrook (<---yes, yes, I know Shapiro's comment, but he IS available, wheter Shapiro admits it or not) Jon Lieber, I believe those are kind of names Rosenthal is that fit into the "back end of the rotation.." So given that...which is better: Schmidt and one of Meche/Marquis/Westbrook or Lilly and Jennings?

O'Brien stated in the Cubs.com article that he would present a counter-offer to the Cubs. When you combine that fact with the above quote, it seems clear that the Cubs came in under 4/37, but were probably in the ballpark. Pun intended... I would go as high as 4 yr $40 mill for Lilly, but not much higher. I would offer said deal, and tell them in a polite but motivating tone of voice that this deal is only good for a few days, as there are others options on the table. Don't scare them away, but motivate them into not dragging this out too long.

Why? All he was doing was looking for a bathroom.

for shizzle Fo sho, my brotha....

That's not too much of stretch, considering that Glavine has already stated that he will retired after reaching 300 wins. 2007 was already going to be Glavine's last season, so no stretch.
-
One thing for sure, the winter meetings will not be boring for the Cubs.
-
Glavine has basically said he will either re-sign with the Mets or returned to the Braves. So, I doubt the Cubs will even get to the negotiating table with Glavine. And with the rumors of Maddux wanted Mussina deal, I would pass till he comes closer to 1 yr $8 mill.

Pujols: MVPs should be from playoff teams
NorthsideAvenger replied to Laura's topic in General Baseball Talk
What Pujols "has forgotten" is that after the Phillies traded Abreu (and at the time conceding about not making the playoffs) Ryan Howard just about single handlely forced the Phillies into the playoffs. Pujols is moron, and needs to shut up. -
Ha ha, Bruce for the win. CT should apologize to Bruce, lol. i call for a str8 b& Yes, but first he should apologize for all nearly 9000 of his posts. And say it like he means it. CT; Be a man, and apologize to Miles. What did CT say that requires his apology? To be blount, he basically call Miles a liar, and basically ran Miles off of NSBB.com.

NSBB is just like elementary school! Agreed. And just think, last offseason everyone was going wild over some barely PG-13 photos of attractive women. This offseason, it's cookies and egg nog. Next year.....? Bert and Enrie..........weeeeeeeeeeee

http://chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseball/cubs/cs-061128cubs,1,2874549.story?coll=cs-home-headlines This confirms what Bruce was saying, earlier. The Cubs have NOT made an offer to Schmidt, and whoever leaked it, prolly jumped the gun.
-
But why is he in the big leagues still? He has pictures of Bud Selig having relations with a horse. honestly, because MLB GMs are idiots. Did he steal it from Charles "Don't call me Gnarls" Barkley stash?
-
on the other hand, if winning is his first priority, he probably wouldn't sign with a team that hasn't won a World Series in 100 years. Well, it's not like the Mariners 0 championships in their history is going to suggest to him a winning team either. Dont you think they're about due for one? How 'bout the Cubs? Don't you think 97 yrs is enough to get over the hangover of the last one?
-
Kaplan also said that the "Floyd deal would be done by Monday", also....So go figure.
-
Not really. Because while they make a "competitive" offer, their best offer is still going to be significantly worse then the Cubs. ? Do you honestly see the Cards offering a comparable deal to that of 3 yrs $44/45 mill the Cubs offer? I don't. The deal I see them making is 2 yrs $22/23 million. I don't see the Cards outbidding the Cubs. You see...on one hand you get some people saying no offer has been made...then on the other hands....you have people saying an offer has been made. Right now, it's confusing on Jason Schmidt. Did you honestly see anything in my post referring to the Cards? I was talking about the Cubs offer that both the Chicago Bruces say didn't happen.
-
I'm going to go with him sucking, just like the last 3 years. I'm thinking Jeff Suppan part deux, maybe on a lesser scale. I'm think Kent Bottenfield/Jeff Weaver esque turnaroud. Which is fair, because then the Cards can take K. Wells---after his career yr---and trade him Tampa Bay for Carl Crawford after then 2007 season. That seems fair. it's a one year contract. I'm implying they'd resign him after 2007, and trade him to TB for Crawford during the 2008 season.

I can hear "The Borg, aka Red Sox, laughing at the Yankees. The "Borg" get a potential front of the rotation starter, while "The Evil Empire" gets a back end of the rotation pitcher.
-
The Orioles have finally addressed their offense, by coming to terms with Paul Bako.
-
Thank you. Igawa is going to have his butt handed to him by the AL, which in turns makes this instantly a bad decision for the Yanks. I love it.
-
Perhaps, Craig cloned himself? I believe it is Counsell to Milawukee, and I believe this opens up a door for Graffanino to S.D.

Isn't it funny that a "Kennedy" is will be playing in a city made famous by a BEER company?
