    Fixed. As has been discussed on this board, don't rule out ARam opting out solely because he wants more money.
  2. soccer10k
    I agree that I don't think Abreu would have agreed to come to Chicago.

    CUBS SWEEP!!!
  4. soccer10k
    It's never easy is it?

    Ohman, if you're going to walk Pujols, please plunk him.
  6. soccer10k
    Bob would have sent him.
  7. soccer10k
    ESPN.com and MLB.com both say 95.

    Z is a switch hitter as well so you could pinch hit him in any situation.
  9. soccer10k
    He'll be 26 on September 7.

    He's on pace for 50/151 for the year along with a 1.000+ OPS. I really wanted the Cubs to trade for him in 2004 and try to sign him after that season and was extremely disappointed when they didn't. Even with his down year last year I figured he would bounce back. I didn't think he would put up numbers like he is doing this year though. Make that 32 and 94 on the year.

    how do we figure out what type he would be and what each type fetches? even if a type B they get a sandwich pick, no? Probably all a moot point because in order for the Cubs to get picks, they would have to offer Walker arbitration after this season, possibly putting the Cubs in a position to bring him back next season (assuming of course so one else signs him). I'm not so sure the Cubs would be willing to do that. For what ever reason, it seems like Hendry had been looking to trade him ever since he picked up his option before this season started, but just couldn't get a deal he wanted. Actually, I think that's a gamble the Cubs might take because Walker doesn't seem too keen on staying with the Cubs either. At this point, it's probably going to be worth more to keep him, offer him arbitration (if you have to, do what Tim always says - tell him you'll make him a bench player if he accepts) and get extra picks. As a Type B, the Cubs could get a 2nd or 3rd round pick. That's probably going to be worth more than any prospect(s) the Cubs can get for Walker now. I would think that Walker returning would hinge on whether or not Dusty returns to the team next year.

    Hendry is probably on the phone right now asking MLB if they can schedule 40-50 games against the Cards next year.

    RONNY!!! First home run in 130 AB's
  14. soccer10k
    Carpenter looks absolutely helpless with a bat in his hands. Those swings were horrible. Z at 40 pitches through 2 innings though. He needs to cut down the walks.
  15. soccer10k
    you wouldnt be getting something for nothing.. youd be getting nothing for something...because all I am hearing is being proposed for Maddux its Class A prospects. and Maddux is worth more than that. Cause of his future HOF status. Teams don't consider HOF status in a trade. You consider how the player has pitched this year and how he is likely to pitch the rest of the year. Maddux hasn't pitched well enough to get the Cubs a very good prospect in return.
  16. soccer10k
    He was only 5 games over .500. With the team we had I think most pitchers could have done pretty well. Hell even Rusch was pretty good that year for us. Either way this argument should be irrelevant as it was over two years ago and both Maddux and the team have gotten worse. IMHO maddux has not gotten worse. but the team definately has and that is what is making Maddux look worse. G GS W L Sv QS Hld IP H ER R HR BB SO K/9 P/GS WHIP ERA 33 33 16 11 0 20 0 212.2 218 95 103 35 33 151 6.39 88.7 1.18 4.02 35 35 13 15 0 18 0 225.0 239 106 112 29 36 136 5.44 88.6 1.22 4.24 22 22 9 11 0 10 0 136.1 153 71 78 14 23 81 5.35 85.9 1.29 4.69 His WHIP, ERA, Hits have all increased each season since he's been here. His K/9 has decreased every year. He's definetly gotten worse. everything but the ERA is his fault.... the ERA is the teams fault.... thats why I say he is still as good as he was when we brought him home in 04 How is his ERA the team's fault? ERA is Earned Run Average. The team has very, very little to do with how many runs Maddux gives up relative to his IP. Not to mention that he has his two highest seasonal HR totals in 04 and 05 with 35 and 29 respectively and will likely put up another season in the 20's this year. Are HR's allowed the team's fault as well? Didn't think so.

    Did Wendell Kim replace Bob Brenly in the broadcast booth? Because he's talking about sending every single runner no matter how fast/slow early in the game.
  18. soccer10k
    2-0 Cubs on a double to left by Jacque and ARam scores all the way from first.
  19. soccer10k
    4 years at 8-10 mil a year for Lugo? No thanks. Good luck trying to get that type of a deal Julio.
  20. soccer10k
    Is that because he's has 2 more years on his contract but the other three (Walker, Maddux, Pierre) are FA's after the year.
  21. soccer10k
    I'd do Walker or Hill for Ensberg, thats it. and then I might not do it. Huff would be more palettible to me But then where do we put Ensberg? I wouldn't get rid of ARam to bring in Ensberg. Ensberg will be turning 31 in a month while ARam is just 28. ARam is much more likely to have another 3-4 very good years.
  22. soccer10k
    He's been traded to the Cubs for Nevin, Perez, and Rusch.
  23. soccer10k
    Len and Bob just said Pujols is a late scratch from the lineup.
  24. soccer10k
    Wow, not one but three people ahead of Truffle. Haven't seen that in a long time.
  25. soccer10k
    I haven't been paying any attention to injury updates, but this can't bode well for either Sheffield or Matsui, and it's likely Sheffield. Matsui is signed through 2009 but Sheffield is a FA after this year. This move probably means that one of the two isn't coming back healthy any time soon and will likely signal the end of Sheffield in the Bronx since Abreu is signed for next year already.
