    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.

    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?

    I think this may happen. Will Carroll thinks the Cubs are close to getting Bradley. Pierre, Bradley, Floyd with Murton in for Pierre against lefties. Someone had suggested this some time ago. I may be reading you wrong, but there's no way the Cubs traded for Pierre to platoon him.

    I'd rather hang onto patterson. A scenario where you keep him but don't have to depend on him is ideal. Outfield of Murton, Pierre, Floyd/Bradley/whomever with Patterson and Hairston on the bench is not too bad. Expensive bench player, but he still has tons of potential.

    ***WARNING: EXTREME UNDERSTATEMENT*** I think this move will turn out to be a good one. ***************************************

    Picked up a copy today. The article is an update on the top 10 from 2002. It talks about how only Prior and Z have panned out. It goes on to tell "the rest of the story", about how Hill was turned into Ramirez and Choi was turned into Lee, and how the jury is still out on Patterson. Not much meat to the story. Surprise, surprise.

    STUPID DODGERS!!! Man, I hate those guys!

    If he did, he went to the wrong place. L.A. isn't winning anything anytime real soon. Other then its about 50 degrees warmer in the off season. OK, 60 degrees. Late fall/winter isn't exactly a good time to recruit people to come to Chicago.

    Yeah, it better be Manny. After all JVB was about the 15th guy on the staff. Manny can't be a ptbnl. Not that he ever would be, but why can't he? I think only minor leaguers are ptbnls. Manny is on the 25 man roster. I might be wrong, but I don't there is a 25 man roster in the offseason

    Of course that's what he MEANT, but its so much more fun to laugh at what he SAID.

    ahh, the dreaded quatrodecuple post.

    Looks like MLB and the Cubs say Eyre and Howry are on and Moore is not. And for the Cubs to add Mabry, someone must be moved from the 40 man. My original statement remains 100% iron clad. As to Greenburg, I feel he will be a journeyman 4th or 5th OF at best. He is no Jimmy Wynn, he's not even a Freddie Patek or David Eckstein. Smaller players need to do one thing really well-get on base and steal, outstanding fielder or have unusual power. He has none of them. don't confuse cubs.com with the cubs front office. They've put Howry and Eyre on that list because they are the hot signings and either have been added or certainly will be. They have no more idea what the corresponding roster mover were/are/shall be than you or I. and the -- just means they don't have a major league number. That's okay, you have company. Just reporting the news, boys. Am I missing something?

    So I made a typo that I'm aware of... but for some reason the site isn't letting me edit the title or the link. Now get back on topic grammar police. I'm not the grammar police, and I usually don't post things like that. I was as impressed by your vocabulary as I was ...uh... depressed by the wordo. Didn't mean to sound haughty or condescending. Sorry if I offended. I love irony, that's all. :D

    ****off topic**** Anyone else find it amusing that a man who has the vocabulary to use nexus as a screen name can't differentiate between "here" and "hear"?

    I'll go a step further and say that often GM's don't know what other gm's bid on players. Correct me if I'm wrong, but if they share that info, isn't it collusion? (Mark Grudzelaniek, anyone?) I think if anyone would be sharing that information it would be the player's agent. "So and so is offering us X dollars and Y years. Can you beat that?". And it's okay for agents to lie, but not ok for gm's to tell the truth.

    To sum up the rest of what "NO" doesn't answer: * Most people here think they know who they are * But some people still doubt that they are who they say they are But most importantly, all but one of us believe Bruce Miles is Bruce Miles.

    I think that it is tied to playing time. A prospect gets more AB's in the minors, and can work on palte discipline more. Add the Dusty factor and so much more so.

    I really believe Hendry's plan for the outfield is via trade, not Free Agency
