Well not necessarily. Dubois, Mitre and Dope would technically be 2 major leaguers and a prospect. I would do that in a heartbeat. The term "2 major leaguers and a prospect" is pretty vague. For the Astros, that means the Reds asked for Jason Lane, Chris Burke, and Astacio or Buchholz. And that wont happen. -
Dunn to Dodgers?
Mushimus replied to vance_the_cubs_fan's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
I'll be shocked if the Astros give up their prospects for Dunn. -
Arod lives in DR from age 4 to 8 (1979-1983) and claims that where & when he learned baseball. Like I said before Arod travels often to DR and I seriously doubt DR players would have any problems with him being on the team.
-
His parents are from the DR - do you know how often he travels back to DR? - can he speak spanish?? I think he would be embrace by his teammates even though he grew up in Miami.
-
A-Rod did look at his citizenship card. It has two countries on it as he has dual citizenship, USA & DR. The United States doesn't recognize dual citizenship, I'm fairly sure. The DR may recognize his U.S. citizenship, but the U.S. doesn't recognize his DR citizenship. Linkage

Would this deal work??
Mushimus replied to Mushimus's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
Well in the past it seems that Cashman don't have a say if the Boss wants it to happen. -
Yankees get Corey Patterson Cubs get Adam Dunn Reds get Chien-Ming Wang, David Aardsma, & Rich Hill Yankees need a defensive CF with Kotsay off the market, Patterson can be a long-term solution with their hope his offense upside comes around. Cubs need a long-term big bat in Left after Alou. We all know about Dunn power and OBP. Reds needs pitching, pitching, & more pitching. They would need an overwhelming amount of talent to trade Dunn perhaps this would do it. With Dunn's salary increasing every year it might be the right time to move him and get maximum value. Thoughts & comments????

Foreshadowing indeed.

Had to be Mexican??

Thanks for the game Umps.

He got too big of a secondary lead. The pitch was outside and it was an easy throw to third. And yeah, that ball was clearly a HR. I don't know how you can miss that... tHANKS

Another day another injury. :(

Last year Lofton gave the Cubs a different look in the leadoff spot with his speed and OBP. In 05 will Hendry focus on trying to sign or acquire a true leadoff hitter as a major priority?
-
Thanks Bruce for the chat, If Brendan Harris has a down year at triple A (when he returns from injury) which 2b will Hendry likely to keep, Walker or Grudzielanek? What are your feeling on Harris as major leaguer as early as next year and batting at the top of the order?

Neyer on the Jenkins signing Link
-
I had the same initial impression. From a pure baseball perspective, it probably doesn't make sense. His contract will just be running out when Fielder, Weeks, Hardy, Parra, etc. will be getting good. He'll be a very bad bet to extend at that point, so from that perspective, it doesn't make any sense to keep him now when he could be traded for pieces that could be a part of that future. However, after thinking about it a little more, I came to a different conclusion. This contract won't prevent Jenkins from being moved, but gives the Brewers more time to work a deal with a team like the Cubs who will be in the market for a LF next year. Meanwhile, the Brewers get a PR bonus for keeping somebody on the payroll, which may be worth the price of his contract in itself. Plus, I'm sure the ultra-low payroll teams get pressure from the union to reinvest some of the revenue-sharing money at the major league level. Jenkins was as good a pick as anyone for those "free" dollars. Finally, with the team being up for sale, there has to be someone there for the team to have an identity to the buyers. Jenkins at least helps to prevent Milwaukee from slipping down to 2003 Detroit levels of mediocrity. All in all, I think the non-baseball reasons were the main drivers of the deal. I'm sure Geoff will take the money, regardless of why they spent it. Tim I just find it difficult to understand why sign a player 7 mil a year who cant stay healthy. If he is a target for next year, I rather take a chance on J.D. Drew if the Braves dont resign him perhaps for a cheaper price.

We never wanted Jenkins, he's just as injury-prone as Alou. Beltran and Ordonez remain our top two targets to replace Moises. Just curious Don have Hendry every stated any intent of signing those guys? I always thought he would like one of our minor leaguers to take over after Alou. Well it would be against the rules for Hendry to stated he had any intent of signing either of those guys. While certain GM's and owners like to test those rules with tampering statements , that's not Hendry's game. Yea Goony that was my point actually, its still premature to mention two names as replacements in Left, while we might use a platoon to get some of the young guys playing time. Heck we might upgrade SS & C while starting Kelton in left.
