    I'd expect so. He couldn't possibly do any worse than Vinny would.
  2. E.J.
    If I were a Padres' fan I would be thrilled. :roll:
  3. E.J.
    Rotoworld: Why?
  4. E.J.
    I'm sure Jon just shed a tear with just the thought of Z not being on the Cubs. :D There's no way the Cubs trade Z. Not even up for discussion.

    Anyone know anything about rotowarriors.com? They have a rumor that there's a proposed trade of Pierre for Cpatt and Mitre in their Rumor Room in the Forums section. You have to register to read the rumors. I've never heard of the website and just signed up so I have no idea of the rumor's validity. What do people think about Cpatt and Mitre for Pierre?

    I think/hope that second part is just Sullivan speculating. I doubt he has anything concrete to back that up. It's a Sullivan article, so I'm sure that every word is speculation. The part about teams having to pay more money if they want Furcal to switch positions is interesting to me. Is that Sullivan speculating or is that Furcal's agent saying that?

    Here's the article if anyone wants to read it: http://chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseball/cubs/cs-051102cubs,1,7532197.story?coll=cs-cubs-headlines Some interesting tidbits:

    I don't know this guy's credibility, but I found this article: http://www.insidebayarea.com/davedelgrande/ci_3168307

    Yeah, I thought Molina might get it as well, especially with all the putouts he had.

    Just announced on ESPN News a second ago: P- G. Maddux C- M. Matheny 1b- D. Lee 2b- L. Castillo SS- O. Vizquel 3b- M. Lowell OF- J. Edmunds OF- Andruw Jones OF- Bobby Abreu Congrats to Maddux and D. Lee for winning. Once again, someone please explain to me how Abreu is a Gold Glover.

    Scott Podsednik scored 80 runs this past year, which put him 68th in MLB in this category. Doesn't seem that great to me.
  12. E.J.
    From Rotoworld: The Gold Glove voting is becoming more of a joke everyday.
  13. E.J.
    I can't believe people actually believe that Podsednik made the White Sox offense better. They scored less runs this year compared to last year people. They didn't win the World Series because of their offense. They won despite it because they had unbelievable good pitching. And when their pitching struggled they almost blew their 15-game lead in the division because their pathetic offense couldn't bail them out. The White Sox were in the lower half of the AL in runs scored and near the bottom in team BA and OBP. They did not have a good offense.

    When is the last time that Hendry vastly overpaid for a big time free agent? Sure he slightly over pays on 1 to 3 year deals, but I can't think of a deal of 4 or more years that he has overpaid. I'm just worried that he's so set on getting Furcal as a leadoff hitter that he's going to give him way more money than he's worth. I'd rather the Cubs go in a different direction and let Cedeno start or try and trade for Lugo if Furcal is going to cost way too much. I'd love to have Furcal, but I just don't think he brings that much more to the table than say Cedeno or Lugo if he's going to cost $10 mil a year for 4 years. I'm not so much worried about what Furcal will cost this coming year because the Cubs obviously have a lot of money to spend this offseason. I'm more worried about how Furcal's contract is going to look 3-4 years down the road.
  15. E.J.
    I just can't see Furcal moving over to play 2b for the Mets. He's only played 2b in 5 games in the last 5 years, he's got a cannon for an arm that will probably kill the 1b if he plays 2b, and I just don't see the Mets throwing a bunch of money at him when they are already paying quite a bit of money for Matsui. I'm just worried that Hendry is going to overpay for Furcal by a lot.
  16. E.J.
    Please no. We might as well kept Burnitz if we were going to get Encarnacion to play RF. This is one offseason in which the Cubs don't need to save money. A lot of money came off the books and the Cubs better be spending it.
  17. E.J.
    Do we really want JD Drew? The man has only had 1 season where he's played more than 135 games and that was with Atlanta in 2004 during his FA year. He only played in 72 games last year, only 10 more games than Nomar did. I thought we were trying to get healthier. I'd pass on Drew. I wouldn't be against trading for Bradley for CF though.

    I found this article on ITI about Greenberg's defense from Feb. 1st of this year: http://cubs.scout.com/2/348190.html
  19. E.J.
    Exactly. I'd love to see him get a shot holding the fort down until Pie is ready, but can you really see Dusty playing Greenberg and possibly Murton and Cedeno. That's way too much youth for Dusty.
  20. E.J.
    NO to Damon. We don't need him in CF for 3 years with Pie coming up in the next year or so. Can't move him to LF or RF because he won't provide enough production from either spot. Plus, having his arm in RF would be terrible. I will be seriously dissappointed if the Cubs sign Damon. No Thanks!!!
  21. E.J.
    Lugo's option is for $4.95 mil. That's quite a bit for a team that had a payroll around only $30 mil last year. Does anyone know if the new D'Rays ownership plans on raising the payroll this year?
  22. E.J.
    Lugo's option was picked up by TB for 06' Doesn't mean he can't be traded by TB this offseason. I still think there's a good chance he'll be traded.
  23. E.J.
    I don't want him back at all. I'm up for any of Furcal, Cedeno, or Lugo (if he can be had in a trade). Nomar needs to play 3b for a West Coast team.
  24. E.J.
    Berrian is out for at least 5-6 weeks. I'm thinkin Gage will be our guy not that it is a good thing. Looks like Gage will get the nod. From Rotoworld:
  25. E.J.
    That's well and good, but is the rumor true that actors Tom Cruise and pregnant fiancee Katie Holmes will reserve the entire Ritz-Carlton hotel in Cancun, Mexico, for their whispered-about shotgun wedding at the end of November? Can Bruce confirm this? Step away from the gossip columns frostwyrm, before it's too late. :D
