    No one would rather have Randy Johnson than Jake Peavy. But a rotation of Zambrano, Harden, Lilly, Dempster, Johnson with Marshall as the 6th starter looks pretty good to me. A ton of question marks in that rotation. If Harden goes down and Dempster starts sucking, we suddenly have one high 3's ERA guy and a bunch of low to mid 4's ERA guys. Unimpressive.

    You may have missed my question yesterday when I asked if Churchill had provided you with specifics regarding player combinations asked for and offered. Anything you can share on that? He never said anything about that

    Is there any doubt whatsoever that hendry will sign Ibanez?
  4. 17 Seconds
    Seriously though, I can't believe I'm the only one who isn't sold on the rotation as is. What happens if Harden goes down (and he will) and Dempster goes back to the way he's pitched his entire career? Suddenly that rotation looks pretty awful, and those 2 things are not unlikely to happen.

    And Jim Hendry continues his quest for worst offseason of all time. Good thing we decline signing Wood so we could save money for Peavy. Next steps: sign Raul Ibanez to a multi-year deal, then get Cubs fans hopes up on acquring a player who is actually good...only to let them down again

    awful

    Abreu still has good patience, but I wouldn't say he "draw walks like nobody's business" anymore. He's gone from 124 to 84 to 73 in the past 3 seasons, delcining right along with his other numbers. He drew the same amount of walks as Theriot last year.

    His agent needs to shut up. This came directly from Putz
  10. 17 Seconds
    He doesn't have a choice. He'll pitch.

    Holy hell. A 12 player deal for a reliever?

    Hopefully thats Mike Valarezo Mike Valarezo isn't the assistant GM... he's a special assistant to the GM with 4 other guys. Randy Bush is the assistant GM.

    Figgins isn't a FA

    By the way, some info on Churchill
  18. 17 Seconds
    :shock: Don't read too much into that.

    By the way, I ran my theory by Churchill in a relatively long e-mail and finished it by asking if it was possible (my theory). He simply responded "Yes."
  20. 17 Seconds
    If this is true and we also trust Churchil (and I do) then this is all fitting together... the "leaning towards yes" makes perfect sense in this context, and would also explain why the Cubs could be more optimistic than the Pads. If it indeed is in the Cubs' hands, and they're leaning towards yes, why would the Padres be so pessimistic? Because they might not feel like Hendry is going to agree with what they want.

    Maybe we should stop talking about Mike
  23. 17 Seconds
    From Churchill- I asked who Mike was and he told me that he couldn't share his last name/position with the Cubs with me. Any guesses? As for the e-mail, it might make sense that the Cubs would be more optimstic. It sounds like the Padres are asking for more in return for taking on Marquis and that the Cubs are balking. Maybe the Padres guy doesn't think the Cubs will cave, while the guy on the Cubs side says "leaning toward yes", meaning theymight be willing to give in. Maybe I'm reaching... who knows.

    So does anyone know what time the GMs leave tomorrow?
  25. 17 Seconds
    That's what I tihnk is going on too. Seriously, if the ridiculous contract given t Marquis ends up costing us Jake Peavy....
