What happened? ](*,) Wow, that was bad. All the more reason for the Calder to go to either Kane or Toews :)
-
I'm surprised Corey couldn't do better. Say what you want about his offense but the guy can steal a base, has power, and plays a very good CF.
-
Who will make the roster for bench?

I'd rather keep Patterson over Fontenot -

1B: Lee 2B: DeRosa 3B: ARam SS: Theriot C: Soto RF: Fukudome CF: Pie LF: Soriano Bench: Ward(1B,LF,RF);Cedeno(2B, SS, CF);Patterson(2B, CF);Cintron(2B, SS);Murton(LF,RF);Blanco© SP: Z, Lilly, Dempster, Hill, Lieber, Marquis RP: Wuertz, Wood, Marmol, Howry, Eyre Looking at the list it looks as though we have too many players able to play the infield and partially CF. We have too many starters right now and I think one will need to be moved to make room for another RP(Ascanio?) -
Barring any trades this is what I would like to see: Ward Patterson (2B and CF) over Fuld Cedeno Cintron Blanco(Unfortunately with his contract he will be the backup) Murton DeRosa(The starting 2B) will be the only one capable playing 3B.

I saw one play that he made which was pretty nice. Of course, we would probably have to see him play quite a bit more than 1 or 2 games to gauge his defensive prowess. I agree. I wonder how he would project hitting wise compared to Roberts. It would be tough to have a middle of Theriot and Patterson if both struggled defensively but I would hope Patterson's bat would help cover that weakness. I wonder if the Cubs would benefit if they put Cedeno and DeRosa out there when Marquis pitches and the weaker fielders when it's a strike out guy on the mound. I briefly mentioned it earlier in this thread. Right now, we're stacked at 2B. We have Fontenot, Patterson, DeRosa, and Cedeno. All capable of playing 2B. Granted, these guys are not Roberts(DeRo is close IMO) I just don't see the reason to trade for Roberts and give up Gallagher whom I think will be needed down the road.
-
Olney has lost it. The Orioles can keep Roberts and shove it. We can do without him just fine.
-
Agreed. The only way he can adjust and learn from his mistakes is by playing. No other way around it.
-
How can you say that when the names in the deal have changed often and the list includes about a dozen people? It looks like you're seriously reaching. Seriously reaching? Take it easy. I'm posting my opinion on this matter.

I think if it's true that the Orioles are looking at Loretta, this means they have a trade about to happen with a team other than the Cubs. We were offering them Patterson and Cedeno so if it was with us why would they look to fill up that spot with a vet?
-
Most draft experts have Mendenhall at 2 or 3 best rb on the draft board. Felix not as high..
-
Eric! We're stacked at 2B
-
Anyone think Kroeger can be a regular starter? He was really good last year before getting injured and he's been pretty good during ST
-
Ward was a great pickup by Hendry. He's a very good bench player.
-
What's the possibility of Wood starting again?
-
I d rather have Cintron here over Fontenot but not over Cedeno. Let's face it, Fontenot isn't good defensively at either 2nd or SS.
-
Boylan is terrible. I've pretty much lost almost all respect for Pax after letting this clown ruin the team. He doesn't have a clue, of course it doesn't help that nobody on this team can shoot. And how about thos Suns? Just lost again. Kerr is such an idiot GM to make the trade for Shaq. What was he thinking? Shaq is old, and always hurt, a shell of his former self.
-
That was classic, I will never forget that when he was with the 49ers, against the Bears.
-
That's true. After reading that it is for the minimum and only for a 1 year deal it doesn't bother me now.
-
Brandon Lloyd has been signed by the Bears! What?! Why?
-
Well, it's true speaking of overrated -- torii hunter. Exactly. The last thing we need is another overpaid OFer here.
-
Seriously, the guy is worthless.
-
Not surprising Noah had his best game against Ben Wallace. :rotfl:
