    if philly gives up happ they are certainly going to get more than marquis.... hence the derosa rumors. Cubs give- Vitters/Pie/DeRosa/Marquis/Hart Cubs get- Peavy Phillies give- Happ Phillies get- Marquis, DeRosa Orioles give- Olson Orioles get- Pie Padres give- Peavy Padres get- Vitters/Olson/Happ/Hart That would be my guess

    Who said it would be all those guys? A) we dont really know what the package is B) if you choose to believe one of the rumored packages, then you should choose to believe that adding derosa to the package would take out at least one of the other players. i'd bet everyting i owned that they dont trade all 5 of those guys for peavy

    Yes. How about put Cedeno at short and platoon the cajuns?

    irrelevant i think people are making this out as more than it is. never did he say a deal was close. just because he found a package that satisfies him doesn't mean hendry can do it yet, or even that he accepts the supposed deal. i fully expect this to drag on for a while still

    it's kind of funny that most people use the ignore feature to ignore a-holes.......meph uses it to ignore people who he doesn't feel are intelligent enough to converse with him...which apparently is pretty much everybody.

    Again, Rosenthal didn't say the Phils were interested in Peavy. The guy misinterpreted what Rosenthal said

    Angel Guzman could easily be the player whose injury history Jim Hendry was upfront about. I dont know about moving DeRosa. The main focus of the off season was supposed to be offense. Pitching wasnt even really on the radar until Paevy entered the picture. If we do end up moving DeRosa in such a deal, I hope theres a real possibility that we can get someone like Bradley or Abreu as well. The main focus of the offseason wasn't really about offense.... it was about left handed offense. Maybe they want to give the left handed Fontenot a full time shot and free up payroll at the same time. If that's what it would take to get Peavy and also that RF that hendry/Lou are obsessed with, I'd do it. I'm curious about Fontenot

    How could we be misinterpreting what he said? I think it's pretty obvious what he's saying. He didn't say "possible third team in the Peavy derby" or anything like that, he said "third team i discussions between the Cubs and Padres"... meaning those 3 teams are having the talks.

    It's already been explained that Fraley misquoted Rosenthal.

    I think this thread should be about all winter meeting rumors that aren't about Peavy.

    It almost feels inevitable that we wind up with Ibanez...which sucks because he's pretty much my last choice

    Actually it was Lou Piniella, and its wasn't "Suck it Lou" it was like "I wish Lou was here to see this" or something like that. I'd probably hate Lou Piniella if I was Scott Eyre too. Yeah. Damn him for trading Eyre to a team that won the World Series. Damn him straight to hell! Yes, because we all know that the reason they traded him was so he could win the World Series with another team It was a sucky thing to do, but business is business. Eyre was the odd man out. Cotts and Marshall were his lefties out of the pen, both of whom had futures with the team. Eyre would have been gone after the season. No, he was treasted unfairly and it was stupid for Lou to do it. He wasn't the odd man out of anything. He was better than Cotts. He was never given a chance in 2008, even though he proved with Philly that he could still be very valuable. Lou hated him for some reason and it hurt the team. If I were Scott Eyre I'd dislike Lou. With Philly 14.3 IP 8 H 3 ER 3 BB 18 K 1.88 ERA .77 WHIP He was also great down the stretch in 2007. Lou just disliked him for some reason

    You mean last offseason, when BA and MiLB both had him in their Top 10? Only a fool would write him off right now. where did i say i'm writing him off. i'm saying that his value has taken a huge hit over the last year or 2. you can't deny that. he's still a good prospect... just not what he was.
  20. 17 Seconds
    if i had to guess i'd probably say we end up with him, but it sucks that this is likely to drag on for awhile. i'd be really happy if it was settled one way or another by the holidays

    This might not really have to do with the winter meetings, but I didn't want to start a separate thread and haven't seen it mentioned anywhere. I've never heard of this site...but it's claiming that ron will get the call tomorrow- http://www.dugoutcentral.com/blog/?p=2118

    look at the link they give in that. they just piggybacked the tiny blurb from the article that was posted earlier.

    remember when bailey was supposed to be a really good prospect?

    but seriously, judging by the lunacy that has come from cubbiebum in this thread, is there any chance whatsoever that his kid grows up to be normal? i'm being totally serious. kids with parentsl ike him always grow up being really weird. seriously, christmas doesn't have to be about religion... and it usually isn't. kids do not associate christmas with religion unless you force them too. you're seriously delusional if you think that christmas is all about religion these days. actually, society has done a good job of making it not about religion by banning so much stuff. my parents are not even the slightest bit religious but we still celebrate all the holidays. why? because we're normal and my parents are intelligent enough to seperate these things from religion and were not selfish enough to deprive me of perhaps the single greatest thing about childhood. bottom line is that if you deprive your child of christmas because you don't understand what it's about, then you're a really bad parent.
