The sad thing about that is that I still remember stone saying something like you are witnessing what should be the infant stage of a magnificent career. How things turned out. Sigh.

If Wells can keep up what he has done so far for the rest of the year, he will win the ROY.

Gorzellany won 14 games in 2007 and had an ERA below 4. If he can ever get back to that level, he would make a very good No.5 starter. IMO Gorzo is worth more than Kevin Hart. Grabow fills a need. You need more than one lefty in the pen. And this trade also frees Lou to use Marshall in other situations than facing one or two lefties. Marshall's been lights out as a reliever and that might be his role on this team down the road (as a late inning reliever). Adding another lefty really solidifies an already decent bullpen.

So far the Cubs are 0-6 in the playoffs in the Piniella era. Bye bye 2008.

If anyone should know the value of a walk, he should. LOL. That is ture but in some way really sad. I wish the best for Ankiel even though he plays for the Cards. Realistically, though, I don't see him make it as a big league outfielder.
