  1. What about giving Prior for Abreu? I'd much rather trade him than Z.
  2. They were talking over on the Braves.Scout message board about Raffy getting booed at the Hawks game. Seems Atlanta fans already think he's gone.
  3. That's more like it. There was no way the Marlins were going to trade Pierre for Sean Henn and Scott Proctor. The rumors yesterday didn't make much sense.
  4. It's been talked about in a couple different threads, but I think this needs it's own thread. Here's a link to the story: Link Yeah, I really believe it's about helping his surgically repaired knee. :roll:
  5. Since his game is built around speed, I disagree. Your legs are usually the first things to go as you age, and without them Furcal loses his appeal. If I were him, I'd go with the years. I think all Furcal has to do is look at a fellow SS named Nomar who passed up a big deal from the Red Sox. We all know how that turned out for Nomar. You have to take as many guaranteed years as you can because you never know what's going to happen.
  6. I really think another starter is on Hendry's wish list. I don't see him going into the season with a 5th starter in Rusch and not knowing what he's going to get out of Wood. I think he trades for an innings eater like Zito, Livan Hernandez, Vazquez, or Lowe.
  7. And not only would Dusty start Neifi, but he'd probably make him the leadoff hitter. :cry: :cry: :cry:
  8. That's a really bad middle of the infield in terms of defense. I doubt Hendry would do that since it seems he's going after defense this year.
  9. If the numbers are true it's time to move on. Furcal isn't worth that much money.
  10. Details from Chippers restructured contract from Rotoworld:
  11. If you thought that was weird...check this out Haha. :lol:
  12. Because then they can't get rid of Bradley. Why couldn't they just do two separate trades. One with us to give up Bradley and one with the Phillies to get Abreu. They were trying to get Giles, why wouldn't they want to try and get Abreu? Lord knows they have enough prospects to throw along with Lowe.
  13. yes please. I would love to have Lowe and Bradley on this team.
  14. Either deal is overpaying for Furcal, but I'd almost rather offer him the 3/39 instead of the 5/50. I don't think anyone should be getting a 5-year deal.
  15. This is new info. Ken Check out the Furcal 5 years $50 million thread. This article has already been posted in there last night.
  16. Could one be Justin Jones? I thought the Marlins inquired about him a couple of times when he was a Cub. Nope. It's pitchers Travis Bowyer and Scott Tyler.
  17. And we couldn't give up those two to get Castillo? I wonder if something really is wrong with his health. His speed has gone away and the Marlins are giving him up for pretty cheap.
  18. Here's a link to the trade: http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2245065
  19. Just reported on ESPN News. Gammons is saying it's a done deal. Marlins get 2 minor league pitchers (didn't say who).
  20. Looks like someone over at Cardstalk posted a link to the backup NSBB. http://forums.stltoday.com/viewtopic.php?t=317028
  21. I'm sure it will be another interview where Hendry talks a lot but doesn't say anything. He's a master at that. I don't even know why the media does interviews with him anymore. They're always pointless.
  22. Could you imagine if the Cubs signed Furcal and traded for Castillo? A 1 and 2 of Furcal and Castillo batting in front of D Lee and Aram?? =P~ =P~ =P~ =P~
  23. It depends on how many and the quality of prospects that we give up. I'm not excited about giving Furcal a 5 year contract.
  24. I haven't seen anything mentioned about Hendry being interested in Castillo. I'm worried the Cardinals are going to get him. If anything I hope the Twins step up and get him. I'm worried that we're going to see Soriano roaming 2nd base for the Cubs next year. Talk about just making our problems worse. :x
