  1. no way theo trades for fringe prospects just to get salary relief. if it's dempster/soriano and basically all of alfonso's salary paid, we better be getting back at least webster
  2. they won't include webster because the trade is already centered around rubby duh
  3. i know he does, but it's still modest compared to most guys.
  4. it always seems like there is no way you could generate any kind of power with how low his hands are. is that wrist strength? forearms? i know nothing about baseball. it seems like he barely even pulls the bat back.
  5. kg is the ultimate cubs buzzkill. i'm just waiting for him to turn on baez.
  6. dudes, we're still getting delgado. cubs are leaking all the stuff about LA offering them garbage so they can say "see ryan, we tried hard but these guys are unreasonable. we even tried getting alfonso involved". then dempster will agree to go to atl in the final hours. notice how there have been no rumors whatsoever about the braves the last few days? weren't they going hard for a pitcher? then they don't even try for greinke (when atl was apparently one of zack's preferred teams), when the angels got him for a mediocre package? we got this
  7. probably what fans of teams like the pirates, a's, and orioles would have said before this season
  8. we all know who it would be
  9. If we don't make some big trades now, I really don't see how we can without some big free agent signings or trade prospects for big league players I really don't see how we can. The only help that we have coming from our farm in the next year or two is Vitters, Jackson, and Lake, as well as some relievers, none of whom are sure things by any means. Actually contend? Next season, meaning 2013. That is with or without Garza. Hopefully it is without. Get on board everyone, this vehicle is beginning to make its ascent. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: why do you post on here?
  10. best walkoff since ramirez in 07
  11. http://espn.go.com/blog/chicago/cubs/post/_/id/12244/teams-showing-interest-in-soriano?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter
  12. i can't even imagine how awesome it would be if javy starts walking.
  13. tbh, it doesn't seem like bruce miles has much inside info anymore now that the hendry regime is gone.
  14. even though it's been quiet, I really think Soriano is gone. If they're really not going to be giving out any big contracts this offseason, this could be a really good chance to eat most of the money and get an asset back for soriano while he's actually playing well. if carlos lee was good enough to get gould, i find it hard to believe that there aren't teams willing to give up a legit prospect and 2-4 million for a 2.8+ war outfielder.
  15. i could see a blockbuster deal going down with dempster and garza and possible soto/soriano going to one team. wouldn't be surprised to see them pull something out of their asses with guys like maholm/camp/johnson either.
  16. did apolo ohno come on yet
  17. could they bring other teams' scouts in to watch that?
  18. obviously the rays wouldn't do that, but soriano isn't really one of the worst contracts in baseball anymore.
  19. it may be irrational, but i have this overwhelming confidence that theo and jed are going to just kill it over the next few days. i think they've got all kinds of [expletive] going on with all kinds of players/teams.
  20. we're still getting delgado. iiiiii'm not too worried about it.
