    yep --Even if we go to camp with this team, I bet we'll add one or two new players before the start of the season. Yeah, crappy NRIs if/when someone gets hurt.

    --Banzai! May the Cubs win the World Series for ten-thousand years! It seems like they haven't won it in 10000 years. I must have winning soon.

    it kind of is when you could get equal production for 10% of the cost by giving the job to gallagher. the lieber signing alone isn't going to break the cubs. it doesn't really improve them either. but you combine lieber's 3.5 million with dempster's 5 million, marquis' 6 million, eyre's 4 million, and blanco's 3 million that's around 21-22 million that could be easily replaced by cheaper players and spent on 1 or 2 very good players. jon lieber was a pointless signing. it wasn't a horrible signing that's going to cost the cubs the season, but it's jim hendry's usual pointless signing done for the sole purpose that he doesn't trust rookies to fill less-important jobs. How could you know that? You know, I could get a good look at a T-Bone steak by sticking my head up a bulls ass, but wouldn't you rather take the butcher's word?[/quote] I love that line!!! May i use it in the future. It is not copyright protected is it? It's from Tommy Boy

    Every team that looked at Prior's medical records didn't think he'd pitch much if at all this season. The only way made sense is if you knew he would come back in 2009, and the Cubs knew he wouldn't.

    I'd love to even be in a position to say "no" when someone offers me $1M for something. I'm thinkin' I'd be more excited about being in a position to say yes.
  6. Bull
    happy now?

    It may be a real thing, but it's value is artificially inflated. Guys who "can leadoff" are given greater market value, for no good reason. Roberts' value lies in his production numbers, not in his supposed ability to hit leadoff. There's nothing wrong with going after a player like Roberts, there is something wrong with going after a guy like Roberts because he can leadoff and thus paying a premium for that arbitrary qualification. If you'd quote all of what I said, I think we're saying the same thing. I said why not just keep DeRosa (not a traditional leadoff hitter) and bat him first...you get the same production and keep the young pitchers.

    yeah...about that...

    He played 413 innings there in 2001. That year his defense was bad at 2B and SS

    NOt working for me either, but it was literally 5 minutes ago...and to be clear the headline doesn't say it happened but that its likely. Not to quote myself, but they've changed the title. It no longer says likely. But the article itself still says "almost certainly going to happen"

    Care to elaborate? Yes, people on this board need to take the blue tinted sunglasses off and realize this deal is a steal for us. We getting one of the best leadoff men in baseball, an all-star and another great club house guy for pretty much nothing. You guys are blowing your loads over the 2 pitching prospects that have showed us NOTHING. Ok, stop referring to him as a leadoff man already. There is absolutely no such thing. Roberts plays 2nd base, not some artificial lineup position with imaginary responsibilities. While I agree that I'd rather have the better second baseman than the better "leadoff hitter", leadoff is not artificial. Stolen bases are overrated but OBP in the number one slot is not. Getting Roberts extra 40 points of OBP over Soriano in the one slot, and Sorianos extra 140 points of slugging (although you lose 40 points of OBP) lower in the order. My only problem is why not just put Derosa in the leadoff slot and hang onto the prospects?

    A statement from himself (not his lawyer) the day the Mitchell report came out would have been a good start instead we get a press release from his agent several days later. Sometimes people listen to bad advice. ie Ted Kennedy and his whole career So you're saying Clemens drove under the influence of steroids?

    Bull replied to David's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk

    If there's anywhere its appropriate its in a fairly meatless thread about the man himself.

    pan-ache?? Is that where you hurt everywhere at once? See also: Mark Prior.
  17. Bull
    nope that's definitely Alyssa Milano.

    which prior understood, thus its a simple call for prior

    Or was just smart enough to not use a personal check. And for baseball players, the probably qualifies as genius. remember that story of him having an insane amount of cash stolen...yeah

    Murton really has value. I wish he would play here, but I get why they are dealing him. He'll likely be part of the package that lands Hendry Brian Roberts. I'd prefer him and Gallagher go toward landing us Blanton, and Pie and Hill and EPatt land us Roberts and Bedard, and Dempster and Marshall and Derosa land us Burnett. (Just listing some of the rumors in this thread!) Imagine, if you can... Zambrano Bedard Burnett Lilly Blanton :shock: =D> \:D/ :pig: :shock: :shock: That could theoretically work. Yeah, it could, though it would empty the farm, and would still leave us short two OF. (A CF and a 4th OF) But, heck, with that rotation, an NL Pennant would seem to be virtually assured. Virtually assured? How about this rotation: Prior Wood Maddux Zambrano Clement What are you talking about? Alluding to the 2004 rotation that was popularly thought good enough to win a pennant by itself. Can't we just forget that season ever happened? what season?

    throws with the wrong hand. We need *more* lefty bats and *less* lefty arms.

    exactly. cuz he was only 4 1/2

    Heh... I'm not all that enamored w/ Fuku either. I have the feeling he'll be a tad underwhelming...but then that means he'd fit right in w/ our Cubs Yeah we should be so saddened to have Raul Ibanez in our outfield. I mean, after all he has been a better hitter than $136m man, Alfonso Soriano, three of the last four seasons. Of course you're right to point that out. Guess I just don't feel as hyped over Fuku as others. good lord, we don't tell him when he's right, it just encourages him.
