    Cabrera will be lucky to get half that. Why? He put up big stats last year, about a notch below DLee and you think he's only worth $6 mil a year? I probably estimated high on the 12-15 mil per year but if DLee is negoitiating a contract worth 12-13 mil a year, you don't think Cabrera, who is 22 not 30, isn't worth 10 mil a year? Furcal got 13 mil from the Dodgers. Service time. So if the guy can play but is only 22 (almost 23) that takes a few million off of what he's worth. Pujols has only been in the league for 5 years, this is his sixth. I don't know when Albert signed his contract and I'm not saying Cabrera is as good as Pujols is but Pujols is making 14 mil a year. Why isn't Cabrera worth 10. I still haven't heard a good reason. Just for kicks, lets say Cabrera puts up numbers this year comparable to what he did last year. Is he still not worth 10 mil?

    Supposedly he doesn't clown around and play practical jokes all the time anymore.

    I guarantee Cabrera will be traded before the deadline. There is no way the Marlins are going to pay him 12-15 mil per year.
  5. soccer10k
    I couldn't agree more. Not every GM is going to see all of his moves work out. But Hendry could have made WAY mistakes.
  6. soccer10k
    I think it's been every year since 1991. Seriously though, the Reds always get off to hot starts. And then they realize they are the Reds and fade into fourth or fifth place.
  7. soccer10k
    Don't Howry and Eyre count as good free agents? I know Jones hasn't done anything yet but Hendry should get credit for the two pitchers.
  8. soccer10k
    I just want them to get this thing done.
  9. soccer10k
    Shawn Estes. Any mention of his name makes me laugh.
  10. soccer10k
    I think one of the things we have to worry about is Dusty falling in love with Eyre/Howry and wearing them out by August. I hope he doesn't.
  11. soccer10k
    The Reds could hang around. But in the end they'll finish 15-20 games under .500 like always.

    I don't think the people who posed the question are the same ones who give Corey "unlimited slack". Also, some of the reason that people would prefer Corey over Jones isn't over performance, it's about age and contract. But at the same time Jacque has had a couple good seasons in the majors while Corey had half of a good season. I understand your point but at least Jacque has proven to be a decent player. He's 30, going on 31 while Corey is 26 so I see your point on that matter as well as Jones' 3 yr contract. Here's hoping Jones turns it around. Corey had a good season in '04. .266/.320./.452 with 168 strikeouts is a good season? That's a bit generous, don't you think? He was very good the first half of 2003. I do remember a couple times in 2004 where he looked like he was putting it together, but it was always a fleeting moment and he returned to the same old Corey. A .772 OPS is pretty decent for a CF. That's the other difference between the two. Patterson when he's done well has been serviceable to good for a CF. Jones is well below average for a corner OF. Patterson also wasn't good for very long. He had half of a good year in 2003 and showed some flashes in 2004. Jones had two good years, as good as Pattersons half season, in 2002 and 2003.

    Probably a bit. But we have to wait a couple weeks to see how the team turns out.

Corey's numbers in 04 were basically the same as Jacque's in 05.

    If anybody can get an opposing player out of a slump, it's Sidney Ponson. That guy singlehandedly killed the Giants in the 2003 postseason.

    Corey's last two season for the Cubs were horrible especially 2005. On another note, anyone else notice the Orioles like Cubs castoffs. They got Sosa for 2005 and Patterson and LaTroy Hawkins this year.
  18. soccer10k
    I hope Jacque snaps out of it also for the sole reason that it will help the team.

    Edmonds is one of those rare players who truly deserves the hatred of an entire city. Edmonds:Chicago::A-Rod:Boston

    Pie will definately get a chance to play at some point during the year.
  21. soccer10k
    And it's about to explode.
  22. soccer10k
    That's definately LOL worthy.
  23. soccer10k
    We'll see when Milwaukee plays STL next week. They have beat up on the Pirates and D-Backs this week. Cincinnati got Pittsburgh also. I do agree that the Brewers have a MUCH better chance to contend this year.

    Chris Shelton is on pace for .688 BA, .722 OBP, 1.750 SLG, 203 HR's, 243 RBI's, 446 hits, 284 runs.
