Do you think Hendry is the one waiting to pull the trigger? Well thats pretty much exactly what Towers said
-
Argh! Again, that was posted earlier. It was BS then also. Even Bruce came to NSBB and posted about it.
-
??? Did you even read it? That's really old, and it says nothing negative aout the Cubs chances of getting Peavy.

He's not? to me "very good" means you're in the upper echelon of players. if an .800 OPS 2B is "very good", then what does that make a .725 OPS 2B? good?
-
marquis has negative value and i wouldn't classify derosa as a "very good" player. not unless he duplicates his 2008...which won't happen all things considered, dero in 2008 was fantastic, in 2007 and 2006 he was merely very good...350 wOBA at second base and paying about $1M per win over replacement, thats freakin great i don't think an .800 ops guy can ever be considered "very good" unless he's a gold glove shortstop or catcher and/or steals bases like jacoby ellsbury or hes merely an adequate middle infielder or catcher so an average 2B with an .800 ops is a "very good" player now?

Because his OPS was .869 last year. DeRosa's was .857. Obviously, Pedroia's much more valuable, but DeRosa was very good for a second baseman last year. i already said that he was very good last year.
-
then again, trading derosa would make milton bradley look less attractive.
-
Giles isn't going anywhere. He vetoed a few trades last season, including one to the Cubs, as I recall. Yup and one to the Red Sox as well.

maybe not negative value, but i think it would be more of a "we'll take his salary off your hands" type thing. i think at this point hendry doesn't expect to actually get anything back for marquis. you're right though, the phils might need to give up another lower level guy

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
-
that post has nothing to do with anything, but okay
-
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.
-
Am I blocked? you're not one of the ~70 or so that aren't. which means i just havent found anything youve said that hurts my brain so much to block you....yet. do you have yourself on foe?

Oh hell http://hotstove.mlblogs.com/ please be true please be true

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.
