    If the Cubs get Alph you can forget Drew. I think we should aviod referring to Soriano as "Alph" at all costs. Too much pain associated with that nickname.

    Done for 2/23 per Crasnick rotoworld Lots of money flying around today.

    Anyone have any knowledge of what classification of FA DeRosa and Meche are?
  5. Bull
    I like him as a back-up to Ramirez. You like paying him $4.3m to back him up? yes, but not just 3B. I like an .800+ OPS to get 450 AB's at various positions.

    I don't think DeRosa can be traded until June 1st or something like that. I think he meant Izturis, Jones, Theriot, Cedeno, or others.
  8. Bull
    I think this is a safety net for potentially moving Jones before you sign/trade for his replacement so that the FA/trading team can't hold Hendry hostage. Ideally DeRosa has a small part on this team. And he's better than macias/neifi.

    Still can't believe they gave so much playing time to a career .298 OBP

    Can he play RF against a tough lefty to spell Jaqcue and to give Theriot some PT at 2B? Can he play SS if Izturis gets hurt? He does seem like the classic move around the diamond guy. I like the signing - but it sounds like Hendry paid too much too soon. If I recall we said that about Howry and Eyre last year. I think Howry was worth it; Eyre disappointed especially in second half. I'm hoping it's a platoon partner for Jones - his splits against lefties last year 342/394/589 ops=983. That gives stellar right field production for less than $10 mill Did I mention: Appearances in 2006: RF 60 3B 40 2B 26 SS 7 LF 5 DH 3 1B 1 ?

    We were already versatile with Cedeno, Izzy, and Theriot. Well, now they can lead the league in versatility. That should be good for 10 extra wins or so. :wink: Appearances in 2006: RF 60 3B 40 2B 26 SS 7 LF 5 DH 3 1B 1

    If he replaces versatile macias, then I like it. I fear that amount of money implies starter.

    There are a lot of reasons to like Jennings over Lilly whom the Cubs have been courting per rotoworld. more innings per start, for one.

    BTW I agree with the sentiment that Marshall should get a shot. I see the rotation as z FA 3,4,5 of Hill, Marshall, Miller, Prior, or surprise young arm. I don't see Hill as much a guarantee as others do, but I think he and Marshall are to be given more of a chance than the others in ST. worst case scenario: if Miller and Prior are both out, I think Marshall is a viable replacement.

    wouldn't an era+ of 90-110 make him an average 3rd starter rather than an acceptable 5th starter? I certainly would not include anybody at a 90 ERA+ as an average 3rd starter. is 100 not league average?

    Every time I hear that quote I imagine 8 Neifis about to bat in the lineup. mmmm, nope. No matter how small your strikezone, walking requires taking a pitch.

    It's fine to be weary. And if Jim can find better options, that would be great. But beggers can't be choosers, and this team is desperate for increased productivity. Agreed goony. I'd be more leary of having a worse offensive outfield than we had last year. *shudder*
  19. Bull
    I would. There's no way he's 9 million dollars better than Marshall, Marmol, Guzman, etc...Get Schmidt and rely on Prior, Miller, and the young guys to fill the 4th and 5th spots in the rotation. Spend the rest of the money in the budget on resigning Ramirez, signing Drew, and getting one more bat (probably 2nd base). It's not ideal, but its better than paying Padilla 10 mil. That's 3rd 4th and 5th spots I don't see why no one looks at Hill as a "young guy". Sure he's produced more, but he's still no lock.

    There you go getting my hopes up again.
  21. Bull
    I feel we'll be regretting it in three years.

    Shampoo is better than conditioner. Care to elaborate?
  23. Bull
    Its somewhat acceptable since it is the SF paper, and he's coming from Oakland. The source is likely local. Either way I hope its true.
  24. Bull
    Maybe Beerhere had a Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster.

    I miss the Cubs
