  1. As long as Fredi Gonzalez is still available, we're in good shape. Every team has a manager now...right?
  2. I agree and I think Dusty is a very tough read for many writers when it comes to his antidotes and explanations.
  3. I hope West Virginia is inspired by Arkansas coach Houston Nutt not having them in the Top 25.
  4. not to mention the fact that Bon jour is 2 words, no? non. Oui, je suis d'accord.
  5. With our luck the Cubs will make the playoffs....Dusty will screw it up and be energized by the experience and signs a 4 year deal.
  6. He can REALLY catch the ball. Wait until the day of the Syracuse Skychief Hotstove because Hudson is the main speaker! =P~
  7. Is a dartboard scientific? Magic 8 ball? Then no.
  8. The part when Paul Newman steals Tom Cruises girlfriend.
  9. Don....do you really think Baker is going to play Murton and Cedeno? I like Abreu too but IMO he is going to take a couple of major league ready players just to start the Phillies talking. Since the Cubs have 2 #1 starters and 3 number 5's I think that hurts the chance of this deal happening.
  10. Why would we do that? Where is Tejada going to go that it will benefit us in a 3-way trade? Not Philly. Not Cincy. Not Texas. The only way the Cubs would give Stockstill some of his prospects is if the Cubs were to get Tejada. Otherwise those pieces would be used to get us a stud RF who couldn't come in a Tejada 3-way. Cubs gets: Manny Boston gets: Tejada Baltimore gets: A crap load of near ready major league pitchers. Cubs accept all the Manny contract and send a couple of prospects instead of the boatload for Tejada directly while as you said Boston gives the O's 3 good prospects. I wonder if Mr. Hendry would do that CiNY.....hmmm.

The only way the Cubs would give Stockstill some of his prospects is if the Cubs were to get Tejada. Otherwise those pieces would be used to get us a stud RF who couldn't come in a Tejada 3-way. The Mets and Floyd. Texas could slide Young over to 2B and Mench or Wilkerson could be traded to the Cubs while Tejada goes to the Rangers.
  12. Would that make Reyes available? If so, I would like to see Hendry work himself into the middle of that deal as well. I think it's possible that the Cubs might be involved in a 3 way with Baltimore due to Stockwell and might not be the ones that get Tejada.
  13. I'll never understand this "friendly" relationship Clemens has with the Houston owner. It seems to be a bit one sided to me.
  14. Nice article BK. What would make this an even trade? Only one of the 3 pitchers sent to Florida having a decent career? The kicker IMO is that we do not know what the teams that had Wikerson and Bradley were asking for or if Hendry valued Pierre more than those two players, we can assume he did but we don't know for sure. The beauty part is if any of the 3 are any good the Cubs can just trade for them in 4 years when Florida has another fire sale after they win another World Series. :D
  15. JP La Peu Matt Why the heck isn't he playing Murton
  16. I'd rather just sign Weaver.
  17. But we're getting Loewen too, so we need to throw in someone else. Not quite Pie or Dopirak, but close to that. While we're asking, would they like the rights to Wrigley as well? And you thought I overvalued Tejada? :D I would like to see Hendry get Tejada unless he has a better plan for RF and SS that he can do.
  18. I think either the Cubs will get Tejada within the next couple of days or the Angels or Astros will swoop in and get him in a week. Anything specific that makes you feel this way? Since Fieta (sp) is with Baltimore now he knows what he wants from the Cubs. I think they would move pretty quickly if this is going to work. I think the Angels have a haul of young guys and can then trade Cabrera back to Boston or The O's flip Cabrera to the Red Sox. Especially if the Angels want Manny....they now have a lot more to deal for him and even if they don't get Manny they still get an impact bat. Houston has seen a lot of players get dealt while they waited for Clemens. I think they are going to get either Abreu or Tejada. John Stockstill, not Oneri Fleita. Whoops....I guess I really screwed up the spelling! :oops:

  20. I understand that he may not put up a 900 OPS but when you mention grounders finding their holes is it possible that a guy that hits the ball on the nose will more than likely be able to do that?
  21. I think either the Cubs will get Tejada within the next couple of days or the Angels or Astros will swoop in and get him in a week.
  22. Gutsiest move I ever saw.
  23. What could they offer them? Quality young pitching and plenty of it! So can we, but we can also fill the hole that would be opened at SS. Do they have any high-celiing SS prospects available in their system? I thought they had a pretty young SS that started in the World Series for them last year...didn't they?
