  1. Given our roster I don't see why Nevin shouldn't start against all lefties. It's just unfortunate that Hendry took so long to see the need for better RH hitting on the bench
  2. I think it's funny that we're trying to decide who's better out of the 2. :lol: Yah, I never thought I would write the words "I advocate sticking with Neifi Perez", but that was before Neifi was benched for Tony Womack. As bad as he's been Hairston would be preferrable to either, but I think he's blown any chance to gain Dusty's favor and I don't expect him to stay past the break.
  3. And Henry Blanco for 10 games.
  4. Career OPS+ Womack - 73 Neifi - 65 They both suck, but Womack sucks a little bit less. How lucky are we to have them both? For predictive purposes I don't pay attention to career numbers of a player as old and broken down as Womack. 29 MLB teams think he's finished and see no reason to disagree. I think the same can be said about Neifi. Neifi stinks but unfortunately his contract can't be undone. There's no upside to benching him for garbage like Tony Womack and the downside is that it kills any chance for him to regain some market value.

  6. I don't think Womack is an improvement over Neifi in any way. I'd rather see Neifi keep playing and maybe get a Neifurious hot streak going so he can be traded. Benching him for trash like Tony Womack only ruins whatever trade value he has or might have and it really doesn't help the team win in the short term either. Womack just flat out sucks, worse even than Neifi.
  7. I'd drop Pierre to 8 and move everyone else up one. If Pierre can't lead off he doesn't belong on the team. Better to trade him.
  8. Womack is horrible, and having him come up and immediately have a couple of good games is the worst possible scenario. There is absolutely nothing positive to say about Womack or the fact that he's going to play a lot for the Cubs.
  9. Wow, 2yrs/$5M for a guy to be Tony Womack's backup, this being the Tony Womack that 29 other MLB teams didn't want. Good contract there, Jim.
  10. Good to see Jim was garbage picking again, he will go well with the bookends known as Neifi and Rusch. Well at least we can give him a 2 year extension after he has a decent season, and saves us from last place! BCB Jim buys into the "One man's garbage, is another man's treasure" theory. "What you put in your toilet, I put on my mantle".
  11. When all is said and done Hendry's last offseason could be one of the Cubs' alltime worst, the type of offseason that people still talk about 10 or 15 years later. Still too early to make that call, but preliminary indications are pretty bad for Jim.
  12. I'd take Neifi over Womack any day, and I'm hardly a Neifi fan.
  13. Hendry's offseason keeps looking better and better.
  14. Did Pierre actually hit a ball to the warning track?
  15. He's also got a .213 BAA and 1.12 WHIP. I like Marshall but you have to look at his game logs to put his numbers in perspective. Rotoworld correctly pointed out that he's had an exceptionally easy schedule thus far.
  16. I wrote Kerry off long ago so I really can't even say I'm disappointed.
  17. Just a guess, but I suspect he quit to avoid being released. That would have been a bad way to end a career.
  18. I want to see AJ in another play at the plate.
  19. I like their offense. Seriously, their high averages and OBP's are so sexy. Crystal meth dealers love their fans.
  20. I'm going to use a jumbo ziplock plastic bag. It's transparent so I won't need to cut any holes in it and makes a tight seal around the neck.
