    Appel or Manaea is gonna be nice to have. If Dempster and Garza dont get hurt... Delgado, Olt, and 2 stud arms in rangers system would be cubs. But Garza was hurt day deal was done and deal was taken off. Dempster obviously put a stop to delgado. I still think Cubs end up with Olt, Gyorko, or Castellanos when its all said and done (Garza trade) With the way the pitching market is going. Get guys at good value is gonna come back and be great for production or trade value. i think theo and hoyer start using the trade market alot this year.

    Garza will get somewhere in between sanchez and greinke.. But he also cost the cubs prospects to receive him. My guess is the deal that was done the day he was hurt will be rekindled in some form and bring Mike Olt here to be our 3rd baseman of the future. Trade Candidates: Garza, Dejesus, Soriano, Marmol, Fujikawa, Feldman, Baker, Barney, Clevenger, and any of our bullpen arms. keep in mind Paul Maholm brought back Arodys Vizcaino. A healthy Garza, Feldman, Baker could bring a small fortune back if they pitch well. If Theo had gotten Sanchez without giving up prospects, then he would have had zero drop off while gaining tons of assets in the process by trading off movable parts in the process. Theo plan: Gain assets (ammo) to move for core players. So he can make Rizzo type moves more often. possible 2014 Free Agents targets : Ellsbury, Cano, Lincecum, Johnson, Granderson... not a bad group to find a core player from

    I have a meeting set up for December 8th. Were Bleachers readily available for choosing? i was hoping for combo bleacher package..

    my guess is the cubs are gonna pay him extra money so he doesn't ask for arbitration years to be cut out. Cubs will have control for a good while. Goldstein ranks him #1 because of a high ceiling. Starting to look up around here..

    Doubtful tigers deal Turner and Castellanos just because they lost Victor Martinez. But if they do and would be interested in a package centered around garza/byrd. Cubs need to put whatever prospects not named rizzo, jackson in it with them to make it work. Rizzo, Jackson, Turner, Castellanos would be a nice core to build around.

    Byrd, Garza, Soto, Marmol, Marshall will make our system look alot better after moving them. if zambrano starts hot. he could net us a nice piece at the deadline. Same with Dempster if he agrees to leave when all his buddies are traded off.
  7. bsucubsfan
    Buy Low. Rangers obviously wanted him back. He comes back with a good start. He leaves at deadline returning a prospect. Gonna be alot of these kinda moves next 2 years. Gotta build farm system anyway you can. Ian Stewart same thing. Costed very little and if he has a good season, he will bring a prospect back. hopefully everyone with a no trade on the team is willing to leave. Build farm system for 2 years and spend on year 3 with what you have built . In 3 years, Junior Lake.. Gioskar Amaya.. Brett Jackson.. could be mainstays with Castro. We will be good. Gonna take time. Mark Prior and Zambrano showing up probably were worst thing for this organization. Gave us "hope" for 5 years when we shoulda been selling and not buying.

    i remember watching an interview with Ryan Braun during the all star break. He said all the brewers and cubs players had a good time during the break and that they got along great. Obviously the cubs would have to blow the doors off the brewers for a trade cuz they dont wanna make a better team even better.
  9. bsucubsfan
    well his value is at an all-time high after throwing for 2nd most innings in his career. We got him for our AAAA junk. Last time he threw this many innings he went 128, 46, and 25 the next 3 years. Just think we may be in for a similar path. If we can get hermida and roberts without trading a vital piece then im all for it. but i thought this would be a way for us not to destroy what little farm system we do have and get real balanced on offense.
  10. bsucubsfan
    harden for roberts ceda/cedeno(replacement if they trade uggla to san fran)/veal or something similar for hermida re-sign dempster take 2 draft picks for woody sign jon garland (if rich hill can't turn it around in winter league) try to move marquis. roberts lee hermida aram soriano dero soto pie/fukudome/reed only salary added is dempster's and free agent starters

    left the field on a stretcher after bruntlett ran him over. never wanna see a person get hurt. send a prayer out to the Molina's.
  12. bsucubsfan
    i seriously think they would want aram or kosuke. along with a combo of gallagher, marshall, pie, vitters, etc ... more than any team should or would give up, basically.
  13. bsucubsfan
    marquis is probably the most predictable pitcher ever... he just lives on the outside corner.
  14. bsucubsfan
    that'd be a great deal for the cubs. get rid of a guy who doesn't help us in marquis. We take in a guy who knows how to get on base. 300 avg 353 obp last year. 345 career obp. This trade would be a good indication jacque jones is on his way out, meaning we'll get rid of his inconsistent self. I think this trade would be a good step in the right direction of getting useless junk off the team.
  15. bsucubsfan
    lou shoulda used the "experience" factor himself. He had pre-determined Zambrano goin 3 days rest. But you have to let him go if he's dominating like he was. He wasn't laboring at all, and was makin the best contact on the team. His movement was awesome tonight. if we take game 1 the dbacks would have been demoralized. I know marmol has been really good this year but the dbacks seemed pumped to see anyone but Zambrano in there. Gotta let him go and worry about the "if necessary" game IF it gets here later.

    why would they call it.. barely any rain left on radar.
  19. bsucubsfan
    soriano has a one cm tear in his quad. Hendry "hoping" for labor day. its on chicagosports
  20. bsucubsfan
    first 10 starts he was awesome. last 15 he's been awful. simple as that. He was throwing change and his sinker for strikes early on but now has stopped throwing the change and people know his sinker is the pitch he relies on and they lay off and make him throw a meatball. the main problem with marquis is he can go from great to bench in a matter of pitches. he loses his ability to throw strikes at the drop of a hat
  21. bsucubsfan
    i think the reason epat got the call was becasue pie had a leg issue about a week and a half ago. he left the game in the 4th inning of a game. probably didn't wanna have him get out of his routine of getting 100%.
  22. bsucubsfan
    theriot was standing on 2nd when the ball was caught by wright. but the biggest thing is it bails glavine out of atleast 5 more pitches to an already overworked inning
  23. bsucubsfan
    He's lost what 3 fly balls this series so far. Have to think we coulda offered up someone better than the catching prospect cleveland did for lofton, if we aren't gonna give pie CF yet.
  24. bsucubsfan
    The idea of trading is to improve your team. Gagne instantly becomes our best arm in the bullpen and gives a different look wiht his change than marmol and wood would give with a slider. Who cares if our relievers are right handed or left handed. lefties off eyre .304 and righties 368. no way he should be on a major league roster right now. Gagne makes this team alot better. By having Gagne in waiting. It makes managers maybe pinch hit for a starting pitcher in a close game sooner to try and get to another reliever. Gagne is a game changer. Would be a great addition to the pen. He would also allow woody more days off having more stability in the pen. Marmol and Wuertz are tough on lefties with their sliders. Ohman 209 agianst lefties is ok, not great but adequate.
  25. bsucubsfan
    Well by sending pie down now... it starts his 10 day clock now. If jones or pagan are moved then he can come back sooner. Waiting a few days to decide whether to dfa hill or send down bowen probably. but neither would be coming right back up and need to be send down immediately. thats what i get from it. Petrick will be back and dempster probably off dl soon takin that catcher spot.
