If so, great trade by Hendry. :beg:
-
According to Steve Phillips, it would be 2 years, 12-14 million. Really? We can't pay that? Skip the Peavy garbage, re-sign Woody, sign Bradley and call it a day. Looks like Hendry made the right move by not offering arbitration.
-
With Harden is the rotation Marshall is very valuable. If we were giving up DeRosa AND Marshall that would have killed out versaility in pretty much every area of the game Would be nice to see Hendry selling high with DeRosa.
-
Which will be amazing, considering the blasting Hendry took when he signed Derosa for 3 years at $12MM.
-
Why is Sullivan breaking stories? I'm still waiting to hear from Bruce. When Bruce says the deal is close and I will start to get excited.
-
BTW why in the hell did Hendry sign Ryan Dempster? He should have used the money and traded for Peavy and signed a decent RF option. Nobody in their right mind would pick Dempster over Peavy for the same amount of money.

http://www.sportsline.com/mcc/blogs/entry/6270335/12196843 Sounds like Towers is calling Hendry out. Seriously, I refuse to belive that this deal would be blocked over a matter of 5 million dollars. Towers changes his story depending on who he is talking to... First it was... Hendry has to clear it with ownership Now it is ......Hendry doesn't need to clear it with ownership.
-
I take Kevin Towers and Jim Hendry's word before I believe unnamed sources. The 1090 reporter that talked to Towers said it will get done by Thursday.
-
The deal is done but they don't want to announce it tonight to pay respect to "Philly Billy". haha Kevin Towers had gathering of local media, and Towers feels better today than he did yesterday. It will be done by Thursday. :o
-
Must not be too close, they just had an update on XX1090 and there was no mention of the Peavy trade.
-
Yeah, the announcer said the station was going to make a statement or something, and that it was the second toughest day, next to being on the air when his mother/grandmother died. Any clue as to what happened?
-
I take it there is no news :(
-
What happened to Bruce Levine and George O. this year? I haven't heard them mentioned as being the source of any of the rumors so far.
-
http://hotstove.mlblogs.com/ please be true please be true What is the holdup?
-
Trading DeRosa is one way to get rid of around $6MM. I wonder if Hendry is shopping Lilly as well?
-
Is anyone else concerned that Bradley couldn't handle deal with the media for a major market team? This is the same media that goes overboard against Ramirez for supposedly not hustling enough.
-
Towers himself said that Peavy would only go to the Cubs or the Dodgers. It makes more sense based on everything that has been reported, that the Phillies are the third team in the deal.

Jason Marquis

http://www.nj.com/mets/index.ssf/2008/12/mets_offseason_painfully_slow.html Looks like the Mets turned down a Marquis and $$ for Heilman deal. I'm guessing this deal was offered before the Cubs traded for Gregg? Otherwise it wouldn't make much sense salary wise. -
Seems like if Hendry wanted to dump payroll to add Peavy, trading Lee would be a good option. Maybe Bruce will let us in on whether Lee has given the Cubs a list of teams that he would be willing to accept a trade to.
-
DeRosa has put together three pretty solid seasons, with remarkable consistency. Last year his HR's were up a bit, but his other numbers have been pretty steady.
-
people are up in arms over non tendering a guy who is 25 years old, cheap, can start or relieve, and has kept his era under 4.5 for the past 3 years gaudin isn't great, but he has good value...... especially to a team with rich harden in their rotation Gaudin doesn't have good value. He is due to earn over $2MM for a reliever that puts up terrible numbers. Many people considered Howry to have a terrible year last year, but Howry's WHIP and K/BB ratio were actually better than Gaudin's career numbers.
-
People are up in arms about non tendering a relief pitcher with a career 1.52 WHIP, who walks a lot of batters, allows over a hit an inning over his career, and doesn't strike out many hitters?

Greene to Cards close

He is from the school of "if you say it bold or loud enough" some people will just believe it. -
Greene to Cards close
CUBZ99 replied to mdwilla's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
This is why it's a good move for them, they don't have anything to lose. They're giving up a fungible asset and they have nothing to live up to from last year. On the other hand, the "this is why the Cards win championships" stuff is really overblown. You can make the argument that Greene isn't great defensively(or at the very least not consistently good), and it's a very easy argument that he's a gamble to be an asset with the bat. It could pay off in both aspects, one, or backfire in both and they get no improvement at all. It's a risk worth taking with their current SS situation and what they had to give up for him, but make no mistake it's a gamble nonetheless. TT the problem is that even if the trade did happen, what did the Cards trade to get Greene? The Pads were asking for Olson from the O's at the trade deadline last year. The story doesn't name who the players are. Without knowing who was traded how can any person say that it was a "good move" for them? Maybe after we know who was actually involved in the trade we can make an assessment of the trade, but until we know the players it is a little premature. It would be equivalent to saying the Cubs traded to the Marlins for Gregg and only had to give up 1 relief prospect. Kinda relevant who that relief prospect is, isn't it? -
Greene to Cards close

No need to argue stats. Cards made move = better move than Cubs. It doesn't even matter who they traded.
