but ibanez is worse they're pretty close...uzr has abreu a bit worse but how many games has ibanez actually played in rf?

but ibanez is worse

A part of that article that I like With Harden is the rotation Marshall is very valuable. If we were giving up DeRosa AND Marshall that would have killed out versaility in pretty much every area of the game
-
man, you guys think the last 2 offseasons have been frustrating for us.... think about how derosa feels. if he ends up getting traded i'm glad it's to a good team in a good baseball city where he'll be appreciated. it would suck a lot more if we were trading him to the royals or something

i had a nice long sabermetricy post that proved that pujols isn't that good....but it got earn by a login timout monster and im not going to type it all out again

http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=3757369 That's basically the same article that was posted early today.. just with a different title and a few new quotes.

well towers himself said that nothing will happen until thursday at the earliest

http://www.sportsline.com/mcc/blogs/entry/6270335/12196843 Sounds like Towers is calling Hendry out. Seriously, I refuse to belive that this deal would be blocked over a matter of 5 million dollars. Towers changes his story depending on who he is talking to... First it was... Hendry has to clear it with ownership Now it is ......Hendry doesn't need to clear it with ownership. did it occur to you that at first towers didn't know hendry had clearance...but as talks progressed he was told by hendry that he has the go ahead?

the public matters not to anyone involved sure it does.

this is why i've been saying that i'm worried about hendry and lou's obsession with adding a pricy lh bat like ibanez/abreu. to add one of those guys and peavy, he pretty much has to trade marquis. i think he's worried about the possibility of trading for peavy, getting stuck with marquis, and then not having enough money to get that bat. I know that's what he's worried about and I think it's stupid. If he could get rid of Sammy Sosa and Todd Hundley, he can get rid of Jason Marquis. If you want to get rid of someone enough, you can do it. Hendry has proven it himself. if somebody like raul ibanez ends up costing the cubs peavy this would be the most disastrous offseason ever Agreed. If Lou really is willing to throw away one of the best pitchers in the game over an aging outfielder who will probably be broken down by the last year of his contract, he deserves to have his MOY award revoked. You mean Hendry and his EOY award? Lou is the one demanding the LH bat, and its not like any of the avilable are steller. I know Hendry is the one who makes the decision, but Im sure Lou has some say in the matter. I think you're taking what Lou says way too seriously. I don't think so. Everytime Lou is asked about Peavy or anybody else, he imediately says they don't need it and that their real need is a LH bat.

Or he's just not panicking, like some people would. i'm not saying that's for sure what is going on... just that that's what i'm worried about.

and 4/46 or something like that for cordero

http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/print?id=3758577&type=blogEntry Padres are ready to move on this, Philles are ready to move on this, yet where not close. Only holdup is the Cubs at this point. Is it because Marquis isn't in this deal and has to be dealt first? well it looks like derosa is certainly involed. if the phils were only getting marquis back and had agreed upon it like Amaro says, then there obviously wouldn't the holdup of trying to move marquis. if we give up derosa we better not be giving up marshall too
-
it would be kind of comical if marquis' awful ocntract ended up costing us jake peavy 2 years later
-
Which part of the day are you referring to? Just now, I could have sworn is saw something along these lines go across ESPN's bottomline: "Jayson Stark reports that the Cubs have refuted comments by the Chicago Sun Times that the team is "very close" to acquiring Jake Peavy and is focusing on obtaining a left handed bat and the sale of the team" That's been there all day. Didn't it say the opposite earlier today, that the Cubs were indeed "very close" to getting him? there have been 2 different sides all day. most places are saying a deal is still close. stark's story has been up all day...the one where he says the cubs aren't close. at this point im just paying attention to towers
-
And Meph is still disliked here And you are? I love it when people with less than 20 posts insult other posters. was something he said incorrect?
-
I could see towers and hendry tripping on shrooms while going to see cirque du soleil to discuss this deal. "The tall chair is gawking at me and the short one is behaving very droll!" "I'm up high. I'm really high up!"
-
i don't think that psd guy knew what he was talking aobut. they just mentioned all the guests they have coming up and towers wasn't one of them. now they're talking about football.
-
Yikes. You'd think the manager with the "power pitching" fetish would be happy to see Marshall go in exchange for Peavy. it kind of pisses me off that lou tries to act like the gm so much. "i want this"... "no wait... i want this".... "wait, i want that other thing again". just let jim do his job
-
ugh...it seems like this is falling apart quickly
-
anywhere to watch/listen online?

what did he say? Nothing of substance. still.... cliffs?
