Brandon Wood will be a Marlin soon enough. Miguel Cabrera, come on down! Honestly, if I am the Marlins I would ask for Kendry Morales over Brandon Wood. I don't know that much about either prospect but for a guy with Cabrera's talent couldn't they get both? Yes, they could. Anaheim doesn't have much reason not to offer both. That deal would be very beneficial for both teams. Your basic no brainer. Imagine if they traded for Miggy and signed ARod? They could deal their SS Cabrera (I think) and get back some decent starter. I think the Angels could make some moves that could cause a sonic boom this year.
-
With his offensive production, who cares? I'm curious if ARod still wants to play SS. He seems to be pretty vain and I'm not sure if he wants to make that switch, has anyone heard him (ARod) mention this at all?
-
That's because Dusty had enough love to cover us all.
-
It may depend on MLB testing for HGH if he comes back along with a desperate team willing to pay an outrageous amount of money.
-
Right. I don't own an HDTV, sadly. Well you better be getting one soon The United States Government
-
I'm not that impressed with Mayo. I don't like his shot and at his size he better get one if he wants to make it in the NBA.
-
Good to see Callis coming around on Soto, he was one of the last. That's funny Raisin. It's nice to read a Callis thread, it seems like awhile since we've had one.

84 WS to have been at Comiskey? Trib wanted Wrigley gone?

So let me get this straight, don't demolish it but you can't have a World Series there either? -
I really look at this as Hendry playing dumb and not being dumb. He has Lou around to talk to about ARod and he knows darn well he could be moved to SS unless ARod has mentioned that he has no interest moving back to SS.
-
I really think that will play a part in this. I believe the fish like what Hendry has in the minors pitching wise and I wouldn't be surprised to see a Jones/Murton, Pie and a score of young pitchers going to the Fish. On one hand, I can see a team going "hey, we got a great deal last time we dealt with this team, lets try it again." On the other hand, I could see a team NOT wanting to deal with the same team when multiple prospects are changing teams. Why get 6 Cubs prospects, when you can get 3 Cubs and 3 Dodgers prospects, even if the players are exact equals. Get 6 Cubs, and you run the risk of having the same unsuccessful farm as they have had. Get prospects from a couple different teams and you don't have to suffer completely if 1 of the organizations stink at player development. Also, the Marlins aren't exactly reaping tons of rewards from the Pierre deal. Mitre is an up-and-down 5th starter. Nolasco hasn't been completely healthy. Pinto hasn't been effective. The O's seem to think otherwise Raw. Imo, there are certain things you look for in players and I think the Fish like what the Cubs have to offer regarding young personal. I see your point but some GM's have a nice communication going with certain other GM's too and these two like to deal with each other.
-
OK gentlemen, enough is enough.
-
Yeah, our defense worries me. You need it big time when your offense is having a tough night.
-
Possible. Hendry has a heck of a lot of options this year even with the supposed lack of funds and this may be a smart way of switching these guys.

Red Sox to Consider 6-man Rotation
CuseCubFan69 replied to vance_the_cubs_fan's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Heck, I've been doing that for years! I'm curious if they have done any studies showing the recovery time between a 4 day rest and a 5 day rest? I'm also interested to see how they would workout the pitchers between starts. -

Good. One more down.
-
Source? Can't say, so take it for what its worth. I doubt the Cubs have the ammo needed anyways. You are talking about the Cabrera from the Marlins and not the cabana boy from the Lizard Lounge?
-
Let's trade for Dukes, sign Bradley and have their lockers sandwich Zambrano's. Also sign Michael Barrett. Oh man that would be great. Or an OF of Floyd, Drew and Rocco to have the most injured.
-
Source? NSBB
-
You are thinking Zach Dukes. Elijah plays for Tampa, dates 13 year old girls, then beats the crap out of them. Who is he GCG?
-
I thought Eddie Murphy and Dan A. wrecked their lives? Looking good Billy Ray, feeling good Lewis. Is that the left handed pitcher from Pittsburg?

Wood and Prior
CuseCubFan69 replied to Banedon's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
I have to believe that Prior is a big boy and is responsible for his own body. Now, if the Cubs said..."No, you can't get an MRI or see a Dr. about your shoulder" you may have a point but I doubt that is the case. From what I've read about Prior he seems to be pretty conscience about his body and I can't see him just accepting this type of injury. He is the Cubs property, and under contract of the Chicago Cubs. If they tell him to get an MRI, or get surgery, then thats what he has to do. I truly believe the Cubs, and Hendry, didnt believe anything major was wrong with him, and that has been hinted in reports throughout this entire Prior saga. If the Cubs were that negligent then they deserve what they get. If this is true I just could not understand how somebody could run a business like that. Heck, get a stupid MRI and whatever you have to do with your players for Gods sake. Be proactive. That being said, Prior is the Cubs property but since baseball is a business and each player is almost like an independent contractor I don't understand why Prior himself wouldn't take some of these health matters into his own hands. The MLB union has a million things out there to protect their members and I find it hard to believe they would let something this big slide. -
It may be a moot point due to not being able to unload Marquis though. That's a pretty big X Meph.

The "Throw the gold coin in the air and pick a player who's name it lands on" award stays consistent yet another year.
