    Who has more upside: Starlin Castro or Gordon Beckham?

    I didn't see it mentioned anywhere, but Dallas Green's 9 year old granddaughter was one of the persons killed in that tragic episode in Tuscon yesterday. Sad in so many different ways! :( Link

    Well then it must be true if Cashman said so.
  5. PackLandVA
    Above average on trades and below average in free agency, perhaps?

    Billy Buck is my all-time favorite Cub. Wear it well, Carlos!

    Methinks Steve Stone has heard himself referenced as the "smartest mind in baseball" just a few too many times. Hey Steve! You look silly with Kenny William's balls stuck to your chin!

    Zambrano's trade value was at its absolute lowest last summer. He came back in the second half and pitched really well, thus improving his trade value. But it's still pretty low. Why not hold on to him through the first part of the season? He should be able to put up good numbers again, possibly really good numbers, because he has for most of his career. That will increase his trade value, and assuming the Cubs are out of contention, they stand to get a much better return by waiting until June/July. No reason to jump on this trade idea too soon unless the offer is really, really good!

    Yahoo! confirming the deal: Link Padres get starting pitcher Casey Kelly, first baseman Anthony Rizzo, center fielder Reymond Fuentes and another player to be named.

    He'll end up in Boston, New York or Anaheim.

    The Yankees don't need anyone in their farm system to replace Jeter. They'll just outspend everyone for the best available player at a given position.

    Looks like Ricketts just wants his own guy in there. Nothing wrong with that.

    Didn't read the whole thread, but what about going after Victor Martinez as an everyday 1B. He's only a year older than Dunn and makes less. I don't know that the Red Sox will let him walk, but he may want to get out from behind the plate to prolong his career.

    Career .167 hitters in the bigs (Castillon, although Hill not much better), so he obviously wasn't ready for the call up!! :roll:

    Poor decisions is a two-way street in this story.

    I'd dump the waaaayyy overdone "7th inning guest conductor" thing before the "Go Cubs, Go!".

    Unless you weren't serious.....Soriano doesn't seem to have the coordination to play an infield position, let alone first base. I know he's a former second baseman, but he seems awkward on just about anything hit to him.

    Prado is out a week to 10 days, not 4 to 6 weeks. So I was off by a month....stop nitpickin'!
  19. PackLandVA
    Minor leaguer or eventually Z once he's stretched out.
  20. PackLandVA
    I like Theriot....just not as a starter for the Cubs. He's versatile for a bench player. But I don't think any aspect of his game would be considered "above-average".
  21. PackLandVA
    Prado is out 4-6 weeks with a broken knuckle. Anyone think the Braves would be interested in Fontenot?
  22. PackLandVA
    Don't know if it was mentioned anywhere else, but Bruce Levine said yesterday on AM1000 (WMVP) that he expected Theriot to be the first Cub player traded, and sounded as if it were an almost certainty.
  23. PackLandVA
    I'd woo Whitey Herzog. He's a "Hall of Famer" after all.
  24. PackLandVA
    Chicks dig the sac fly, and Soriano will be paid like the KING of sac fliers. :P HeHeHeHe! He said "sac".
  25. PackLandVA
    I prefer "douche" to jerk. What a loser. F him. He just became one of my most hated baseball players.
