    Have 2, their small. They also have an infielder by that name. I've always heard it as "take two; they're cheap" either way, :lol:

    replace the atlanta.braves with stlouis.cardinals, and you get the same page. I think you could substitute any mlb team and get the same page. How he got the Atlanta link I don't know. I'm guessing it was accessed from a link at the bottom of the Braves mlb page.

    If we do land Bradley, what other vialble alternatives do the Yanks have to fill their CF vacancy? I say we hold Pierre over their heads and fleece them, put Bradley in CF, use Wang or whoever we can get from them in a trade for a RFer. You know they have to be desperate to fill that hole. Anyone know if there was compensation given to the Cubs for the signing of Little?

    Yeah, but that's the part of the equation we had right already. I think Pierre scores 100 with Lee and ARam 3&4, but I'm not sure its enough to make the offense great. As usual, this year depends on Wood and Prior. If Zambrano is the best starter, the season will not be a success. Um... Zambrano is probably the best pitcher even if they are all 3 healthy and pitching the best baseball of their lives. EDIT: I take that back. I thought about it and decided that, in game 7 of the World Series, I definitely want Prior on the mound over Z. Your first statement is right, but Wood and Prior have higher ceilings. Maybe I overstated it, but the point is that if Prior and Wood don't step up and fulfill their potential, this team goes nowhere. If they do step up, the difference between Abreu and J. Jones, or the difference between Pierre and Patterson won't keep the Cubs out of the playoffs. Its all about pitching.

    Not only that, but the O's will want quality not quantity. You try fitting 4 extra players on their 40 man.

    there was. But now there's knot. :roll: Just the response I was looking for. :D

    Thread title change? Pierre gone after this year? KingKonan gone after this post? Am I missing something? Also, I don't want Pie leading off. That is not a role that he should have to fill during his career. He has shown throughout his minor league career that he is going to have a high walk rate. Granted, he can change that but it isn't very likely. If they aren't going to sign Pierre to an extension, I really don't understand the trade... Apparently I am. Thought the post was old and that he posted once and dissappeared. Welcome to the forum Konan.

    Pierre = Out-at-third-trying-to-stretch-a-double-into-a-triple. I know its long and awkward, but I think you'll be surprised how it catches on. The announcers will be using it on a regular basis.

    I personally think it was a good move for the Cardinals not to resign him. His velocity was way down and he started to come apart at the end of the year. Not saying he won't do good but in my opinion it's very risky for that many years and money. Morris comes apart at the end of every year.....he's had dead arm issues for quite some time. I think it was a good move not to resign him....on the flipside, they lose the option of Marquis as trade bait, and they have multiple holes that need to be addressed, and the free agent market this year isnt/hasnt helped them out. let the old man walk, get the draft pick and start Reyes. I don't see the Cards falling off as much as most people do this year.

    I'd like to see Guzman in the pen where he might stay healthy.

    That has always been my understanding. 2002 - $72 million 2004 - $83.2 2005 - $92.1 stl business journal

    Some people bring something to the table, other don't. um.....he brings a lot more to the table than you do. play nice, boys

    No need to be realistic here, there's a whole other thread for that.

    I think there's very little chance we get both Huff and Bradley. Call me the pessimist, but I'm hoping against hope for one of Huff, Wilkerson or Bradley.
  19. Bull
    Is this good for the Cardinals or bad? You'd have to think reyes could do better than a 4.11 era.

    Since Baltimore was nice enough to take our disgruntled super-star Sammy Sosa last year for Jerry Hairston, I think it only right that we should return the favor in kind. Tejada for Hairston straight up. :wink: 8) :D :lol: :? :oops:

    The concept of "not blocking Murton" is one I want to avoid. If you put Murton out there and he flops, you're looking at 400+ John Mabry plate appearances. Can we please be a deep team? Maybe just try it once? Join. Except Huff isn't exactly atop my wish list. If BWilk is in the fold, I'm still going after Bradley, Floyd, Mench, maybe RonDL before Huff. Of course, if taking Huff makes it easier to get Lugo.... Yep, sometimes you have to rob Peter to pay Paul. I still feel comfortable that there are some decent choices still out there. How long ago was it that TB wanted too much in return for Huff?

    Please don't exaggerate. I've told him that a million times. Aside from the fact that that comment is quite condescending, I dont think you have. I believe that was a joke - "I've told him that a million times." is exaggerating. True...I haven't even told him once.
  23. Bull
    only with his permission. Now that his buddy furcal is elsewhere, he might be willing to leave...or not

    Am I the only one here who still wants to see Murton get over 400 ABs?
