    There are no dominant teams in the NL this year. No one is going to run away with things. That's what is going to make this fun. Right now, the Cubs look lost without Lee...but without a dominant team...it's still anyone's division.

    You just can't walk hitters in front of Pujols. That's what it boils down to.

    I'd trade Freddy Bynum for Ross Gload. Other than that, I'm done.

    You don't mind the two years? I don't b/c I like veteran power off the bench, just asking if you do. Clarks nos. this year: http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/players/profile?statsId=5513 Career: http://www.baseballreference.com/c/clarkto02.shtml I did not realize he had so many HRs last year. Having him would be pretty great, especially as a bench guy when Lee gets back. I cannot imagine that the D-Backs would want the sun, moon and stars for him either. His contract is cheap enough that the second year doesn't bother me. He can be cut and the Cubs could easily afford to eat the second year or he could be traded if the Cubs don't want to carry a player who is exclusively a DH on the bench.

    Bowden is the dumbest GM around...we should take advantage.

    Jacque must have bought a cool gold watch with the money. He was wearing some bling last night.

    I've heard Mickey Tettleton is looking for work.

    Will Carrol says that NSBB is hiding your true injury. What does Will Carroll know!!! Will Carroll has no sources. I've been fine. I've been doing my bullpen work in anticipation of this start. I know my body. I have not been hurt, I tell you. We've been nothing but forthcoming here.

    Leon Durham has to be around somewhere....

    The new park actually is pretty nice. I think it helps that I've sat in Redbird Club seats and the Ozzie Smith party room though.

    I'm feeling tightness in my right metacarpal, but I think I can go on my turn.

    We'd have just as much chance if not more of getting Dunn as we would Cabrera.

    I plead guilty! I thought you'd be there tomorrow, too (so I actually was RESERVING your start). O:) Ah...so I'm day to day. I feel like a Cubs pitcher for real now.

    Hey, Len! Did you see that. Let me do some play by play. Oh and here's a scoop. Dempster says he still has the Captain America suit! That is too funny! Dempster has to be a great conversation. He's actually kind of quiet...but I asked did he still have the suit and he answered, "You betcha!"

    Hey! Did I come up with a pulled hamstring and have to miss a start?

    I got my pic with da Len! Excellent! Da Brenly signed a card too!
  18. vance_the_cubs_fan
    Can we stop losing, please. This really sucks. On a side note, Sean Marshall is a really nice guy.

    Tony Clark may be the best option if Arizona is inclined to move him.
  21. vance_the_cubs_fan
    I'd pass on Raffy. Without the roids, Raffy is done.

    Well, if he's out 8-10 weeks...I expect a trade of some time . I don't see the Cubs content to have Walker at first for that long or to use Mabry for an everyday starter. I don't think Sing or Restovich are long term answers either. The question then becomes who can you get? We know we'll have to overpay because of the desperation of the situation...so I bring you the candidates: 1. Aubrey Huff- The Devil Rays won't contend this year, and moving Huff could make some sense for them. He's started really slow this year (think Jacque Jones slow), so he might be cheaper than other alternatives. 2. Phil Nevin- Right now, Nevin is the fulltime DH in Texas and is having a power surge even if his average sucks. Texas would want pitching in any deal. 3. Tony Clark- After a great year last season, Clark started slowly this year. With Conner Jackson ready to play everyday, the Diamondbacks might be motivated to move Clark and his contract. 4. Mike Sweeney- He has a big contract and KC sucks. 5. Other guys that could end up available: Choi, Lowell, Franco, Durazo, Ward

    I'm also glad you don't live near Monroe, Louisiana too. I'd welcome you, but I don't want to lie.
  24. vance_the_cubs_fan
    Brooks Kieschnick might come back.
  25. vance_the_cubs_fan
    If not Vaughn, what about Will Clark?
