    Kind of like the first division/second division system. I like it! Newark Bears up, Kansas City Royals Down!

    How is trading for Nomar a bad idea? It didn't work out as planned, but I don't think it set us back much. We got Murton, and Neifi played for KGon. Yeah but the money is the issue. Rather use that money for help at midseason and stick with Walker for now. Or let Washington get so desperate that money is no longer an issue. That I souldn't have a problem with. Just as wouldn't have had a problem with Nomar at 5+incentives. But paying someone big bucks to not play is never fun.

    looks like the bloody mets. Prior's name on anything resembling the mets makes me physically ill.

    Injury prone, yeah. Average, no. There's a difference between being bad, and just being injury prone. Kerry is injury prone, but not near "bad". BTW, how's Ben Sheets' latest rehab going? :wink: Im not saying Kerry Wood is a bad pitcher i'm saying at this point he's average. Maybe that's due to all the injuries, but the last two years have been pretty average. Even in his best years ('01 and '03) he was only 8th and 9th in the league in era. Every year he's been in the top ten in K's he's also been in the top ten in BB. I don't think after all his injuries he can ever return to that 03 form, therefore I think of his as an average pitcher. Ben Sheet's rehab is going well, no set backs yet. He's on pace to start opening day for the 5th straight year. First ST game for him tomorrow. Only 8th and 9th in the league, eh? Out of how many starters? And that's not even factoring in BAA, WHIP, K/9ip... I'd say he's decidedly above average. Oh, for a bit of health! Maybe he means he's an average #1 starter. :)

    Let the guarded optimism begin. It feels like spring!

    Unforunately, that's what we've said for the past two years. I agree and they still have three pretty decent starters. If they add Huff or another RBI guy to go along with Berkman they will be tough. To me, the key for the Cubs is obvious, pitching. Lee will likely regress a little, Aramis hopefully will produce, but the Cubs have to find someone to step up in the five slot and table set in the two slot. Pierre will be fine at the top of the order. Hopefully Walker comes out hot in ST and then produces at career norms, that would go a long way to solidifying the lineup. I am optimistic about Murton and Cedeno but I don't think we should count on either of them to be diffence makers. All and all, I am hopeful but not optimistic. I'd have to agree. I'm hopeful but not optimistic, too. There are ifs contingent to this team's success. If the Cubs stay healthy, they could make the playoffs. If the younger players produce offensively... If pitchers get injured and Hill and/or Guzman perform well... If Hendry is able to add a power hitting, all-star caliber RFer... So, I'm hopeful. It can happen. But I would be optimistic if Giles had been signed. Same if's the past 4 years. The stars have to align eventually, don't they?

    These your picks UK?

    And Catcher. And 2B.

    Walker turns 33 in May. What are the chances he significantly declines this year? I meant at this stage of his relationship with Hendry, Baker and the Cubs. Not this age. I think he's perfectly capable of being a starting 2B. He'd be my starting 2B on this roster and hit 2nd in the order unless I could trade him for a significant upgrade elsewhere while getting adequate production at his position. I know that's what you meant. Perhaps the question fits in the Walker discussion better.

    I don't see Dusty putting Walker in the 2-hole. Pierre Perez Lee Jones ARam Murton/Walker Cedeno/Murton Barrett get used to it.

    Those are certainly the staff numbers we've been looking for since 2003. Those are staff numbers capable of taking any division in baseball. I'm holding firm to my assertion that this team has to win the one-run games, likely 4-3 or 5-4, to have any chance this year. Also, I've argued in several other threads that Maddux is better than Williams and will have a better year in 2006 than Williams (with much dispute from others), and it is nice to see several "professional" sources make the same prediction. I have to belive that one of Prior, Wood or Z has a 2.xx ERA this year.

    You are a marxist. :wink: While I find your opinions insightful, based largely in fact, and most often correct, they are still opinions. Requiring someone to be indoctrinated before posting is ridiculous.

    Yoda and Terence Mann all at once. LOL! I thought Terrance Mann was Vader. :? This could mean some serious problems for the force.

    Montanez has made up for lost time the last two years. And he just turned 24.
