These games are actually pretty sweet. I'm glad they are doing some games that aren't shown often and not just the Sandberg game, '98 SF clincher. Nice job CSN. I bet you Pat Boyle had a hand this manuever.

Does this really have to be posted/asked/mentioned every page? Uhh... isn't this a thread devoted to discussing a rumored Brian Roberts deal? :scratch: Yeah, and if a deal were done, I don't think anyone would need to ask nolan.

The majority of you are consistently terrible at detecting sarcasm.

Not me.

I do. If you didn't watch or listen you're in the minority. It's news. I doubt that, considering most are at work.

I think it's a lame excuse. Give the guy enough AB's in a different spot in the lineup and he'll get comfortable. If he had his way he'd still be a second basemen. Players don't like change...Nothing new here. He'll be fine if he's not leading off. I completely agree CC. Totally lame excuse. Not so much lame on Soriano's part because I'm sure he's not 'whining' about it, just the thought that players only hit well where they feel comfortable is lame reasoning.

Pitchers and Catchers Report - Official ST Pic/News Thread
pitchcs replied to Roast's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Feel like singing? I did sing it! My boys went all dressed up in Cub outfits to school today....its the hap happiest day of the year.... Opening Day is a brazillion times better than today. I just can't get excited for ST, at least not for a few more weeks, it's just a tease. If I was actually there it may be a different story. -
I thought David Ortiz was Shrek

Why only 465 PA?? -
Do you really think there is even a 1% chance of him becoming what he could have been? Corey has the worst plate discipline/strike zone judgement out of just about any player I have ever seen.

Those aren't the names being tossed around at this point. I would have to say that when the talks between Hendry and MacPhail started that these were the names brought up. It would seem to make sense that since this time the names have changed. You have to remember that when MacPhail started discussions with the M's about the Bedard deal that 3 names were quickly agreed upon by both sides but it took awhile to agree on the other two. I would have to say that this deal if made is going to take awhile as I am sure both sides are throwing out names as to who would be involved. ;) Dumb question. Does Hendry know that Sean has lost 25 pounds? How does he even know what names are being tossed around?
-
No way Corey could ever play on the North side again. The dude has the mental capabilities of a shrew.
-
I like DeRosa too. I like him even better with 425 AB's all over the field. But there is only so much I would give up. Also...you're viewing being an All-Star in an odd way. You're basically viewing it the same way some people do as leadoff hitter being a position. Being an All-Star is great, but it doesn't add any extra trade value. Is that you Brian?
-
That is not a lot. That deal will not get it done. I would love to get Roberts for that deal! Too bad we're going to have to add Veal or Colvin to that deal to make it happen. Either way i'd do it! A future #3, our 4th OF and backup MI/possible starting SS is not a lot? Hmm...sure.
-
Gallagher AND Murton AND Cedeno sounds like a lot. I am all for trading for Roberts if the package is 2 of the above or a lesser 3. All three of those guys are essentially major league ready and, IMO, would take away from the depth of this years ballclub.

The end of Sammy?

What does that even refer to? A corked bat doesn't help you hit a baseball any farther. No, but it makes your bat lighter. I would call that cheating. Edit: Or should I say, I would call that a 'competitive advantage' -

Can we please get a Mark Guthrie signing?

So you wouldn't trade Sean Gallagher straight up for Roberts? I would

I was in the D.R. a few years ago and the [expletive] fighting is actually pretty sweet. They have their own mini-stadiums for the fights and everyone gathers on Sunday's after church and pounds rum and watches some [expletive] fighting. My kinda place.

I just saw Brian Roberts cross-country skiing down Grace St.

http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2008/02/cubsbrian-rober.html I think it was posted twice already. :wink: Thanks for posting though. It keeps those of us with lives from having to read anything but the last page :wink:

I'm sure I've seen them all as I've been to 27 different ML stadiums. How you all remember who won, impressive. Nice memories.

They might ask him, and Soriano might say no. If the Cubs somehow landed Roberts and Figgins, I could see Soriano agreeing to move down in the line up. If it's just Roberts, I think Soriano will say Roberts fits nicely in the 2 hole. There really is no reason to move Soriano down in the line up. Soriano scores runs in the lead off spot with the best of the lead off hitters in baseball. Jimmy Rollins was arguably the best lead off hitter in baseball last year with only an average OBP. Those 88 XBH's is what does it for him. Soriano has the capability of 88+ XBH's also, as he posted 80 XBH's last year in 135 games. I'm of the persuasion that could pretty much care less where Sori hits in the line-up, assuming it's in the top 5. But how ridiculous is it that "ask him" and "might say no" are real possibilities. I mean, when did it become the players choice? Does this not make anyone else feel...I dont know what word I'm looking for here....saddened to a point?
