    Note: Its Mike Brown, not Alex Brown.

    wow. congrats to those guys. Kruetz shouldn't be listed and Wale should be.

    I'd do it. Jones is terrible against left handers and Byrnes could fill-in as a nice option there. He could play LF too instead of Mabry filling in for Murton. I think this would be a very good move to make.

    why do we put ourselves through this?

    Wood pitching out of the bullpen last season was indefensable then and still is now. Terrible decision with minimal upside and major risks. We'll see that risk coming true when Wood's not ready to be in the rotation on opening day of '06. A middle reliever who was used in mop up duty was not going to make a difference in catching the Astros or any other team for the wild card.

    Here's more info from the Muskat's column frm cubs.com

    What did we pay for the inferior Perez? $5 mil too much... The thought of it makes my brain hurt. It surprises me to say this but I angrier about the Perez everyday. Especially when you look at a player like Freel, who can actually be a valuable player on a team.

    great, great win. finally a qb who can play.

    I spent a few minutes looking over Ruth's numbers at Baseball Reference. Its mind boggling how good of a player he actually was. A career 1.164 OPS. Give me a break, that's ridiculous. Here's his line during the 1923 season, his 4th season with the Yankees: 41 HR, 131 RBI, .393 BA, .545 OBP, .764 SLG, 1.309 OPS. :shock:

    I could be wrong, but I believe Kotsay's NTC covered only the remainder of the 2006 season.

    When healthy, Nomar produces enough for anywhere you put him. Looks like he would be an avg 1b with his production. In their lineup, I guess it is enough. Exactly, with the rest of the lineup being very strong (assuming the Giambino returns to the second half of 2005 type numbers), Nomar can be more than adequate at 1B. I guess the Yanks haven't learned that they need to improve their pitching.

    Here's a blurb from Bruce Miles' article today in the Daily Herald.

    That's ridiculous. No organization, with any self respect and desire to win, would even consider that.
  14. Mark Priors Calves
    Amen brother. I haven't as pissed off watching sports since the fall of '04 when the Cubs collapsed, as I was yesterday watching Mike Green's absolutley pathetic attempt at tackling on Hines Ward's touchdown in the 1st quarter. Terrible.

    I know there's a mutiny among some media and some fans...but in the locker room? I'm not so sure about this. While there was practically a mutiny to replace Hutchinson with Orton, I haven't heard anything about this anywhere. But then again, I can easily see the defensive unit being very frustrated with the way the offense puts everything on their shoulders.

    If Hendry is so high on Hill's ability and is/was considered untradeable, why is Hendry stockpiling starting pitching, we're even hearing that he has intentions of possibly making a move for another one? 1. Prior 2. Zambrano 3. Maddux 4. Wood? 5. Rusch 6. Williams 7. Hill If a new pitcher is acquired, Hill presumably moves down to number 8 on the depth chart. He'll more than likely start the season in Iowa and only be called up if one of the pitchers goes down.

    Heath Miller scares me tomorrow.
  19. Mark Priors Calves
    Or how soft this team may have become. Say what you will about Dusty's teams but they are never soft. You didn't notice the 2004 and 2005 teams? They folded like a soft blanket. I meant in a "sticking a ball in a guys ear" sort of way. That's just stupid, not tough. This team isn't tough. That '03 team had some toughness. But this team has been weak minded (they let the announcers affect them, and collapsed repeatedly against bad teams) for 2 years. To say Dusty's teams are never soft is as silly as saying Dusty plays deep into every October, or Dusty's teams never win. Or like say Dusty's teams always have good fundamentals.

    Why Todd Johnson and not Mike Green?
  21. Mark Priors Calves
    I'm not crazy about the Pierre trade for just that reason. Nolasco and Pinto would make very valuable trade commodities in dealing for a real difference maker like Tejada. If Hendry is refusing to part with Hill and Pie, I don't know what the Cubs would have to put together to make a realistic offer.

    This is the 2000 offseason all over again. 4 years for Ramon Hernandez?
  23. Mark Priors Calves
    I can't believe there hasn't been a post in this thread for a few hours. Let's bump this back up to the top so nobody misses it.
  24. Mark Priors Calves
    I was wondering the same thing. If Bradley is acquired, the number of moves that Hendry will make the rest of the offseason is few. What about all this left over payroll. That's why making a move for an OF like Abreu or Floyd who have big contracts left can make sense. The Cubs could pick up the majority of those contracts, perhaps instead of shipping out more prospects.

    C Ramon Hernandez to the Orioles 4 years/28 million! http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2252475
