    He can't even hit remotely close to .300 in Iowa this season. Also, when he DOES hit .300, he's still terrible.

    Didn't they get Sheffield for the league minimum as a planned bench player? That was no more a desperation move than when the Cubs picked up Edmonds last season or BJ Ryan this season. Plus Sheffield has like a high 800's OPS for the Mets this season.

    the bolded stretch is especially absurd

    We just gave up Kevin Hart for Grabow - not sure why we'd then ditch him for Ryan and his 86mph fastball... Because he's BJ RYAN. who cares if he just got released. all he needs is a change of scenery. he should be called up right now and be our closer. he's BJ RYAN

    you sure about that? do we really need to go over lou's mishandling of relievers again?

    Guys, if Felix became available we'd have no chance.

    LaTroy was awesome before Dusty had him close. And then continued to have him close. And then continued some more. And some more.

    aren't the rockies like 11 games over .500? how are they "meh" and the marlins are "good"? just sayin

    Closers: For the right price, I wouldn't mind Mike Gonzalez or, forgive me, Valverde. Gonzalez is pretty overrated. Soriano is much better.

    Nolasco has been really good lately. In his previous 10 starts he had an ERA of 2.71 and a WHIP of just barely over 1. And those numbers are pumped up by the one 7 ER start he had in there. In the other 9 starts, he had allowed 2 ER or fewer.

    If he's the easiest pitcher to hit, then why don't his stats reflect that at all?

    By the way, I blame the entire organization for Prior just as much as I blame Dusty. They should have stepped in and given Dusty orders on Prior's pitch count. That's done by a lot of oganizations with young stud pitchers now. Instead, the Cubs brass just sat back and watched him to continue to use the Cubs young superstar pitcher for 120+ pitches. Real responsible, guys.

    Aaron Harang ERA/WHIP 2005- 3.83/1.26 2006- 3.76/1.27 2007- 3.73/1.14 2008 (through May 25)- 3.32/1.19 At this point Dusty used Harang for 4 innings (63) in an extra inning game when harang had started a game 3 days earlier. Then, 4 days after the relief outing, Dusty started him again. From this point on, Harang had a 5.88 ERA with a 1.52 ERA. So far this season- 4.50 ERA, 1.45 WHIP For 3 and a half years, he was consistently good and getting better each year. The second Dusty raped his arm for a full week, he turned into crap, and has been crap ever since. Coincidence? Also I'm not sure that "going strong" would describe Wood and Zambrano in the context of this thread. Wood is now a reliever, and Zambrano has been declining every single year. He was an ace, and now is maybe a solid number 2 starter. His injuries have also been mounting up in the last 2 years. I'm not saying it's Dusty's fault, but he's def. breaking down.

    grabow has like a 1.50 WHIP this season. i wouldn't pull gregg yet since he had been pretty great for an extended period of time before this weekend, but if he slips up again in the next week i'd consider swapping the roles of guzman and gregg.
