... I am worried about counting on Alou to clean up and protect Sammy. I have no confidence that Alou can play the year without injury. I would not be...
Lieber will not be back. He is a free-agent who cannot resign with the Cubs until May 1. He won't pitch again until at least August. Do you have information on...
I'd also like to direct any geographically challenged Cubs Fans to my MODERATRED (READ No Spam) Cubs group called http://groups.yahoo.com/group/farawaycubfans/...
I thought Dave Veres was a very good pickup. A reliable reliever and he could be a closer in a pinch. I am still not sold on Alfonseca. He was the worse closer...
Hey can someone please give me the stats on Dave Veres? Never heard of him before! Yeah I'm NOTsold on Alfonseca at all. I'm NOT sold on Gordon! Also...
Veres was 5-8 with 4 saves and a 3.48 era in 71 games with the Cards last year. In 82 innings, he only gave up 67 hits. He struck out 68 and walked 39. He did...
I liked Brown, but the fact of the matter was that he did not produce in the playing time the Cubs gave him. He is no super star or he would be playing for...
Last year, Brown hit .211 with three homers and 23 RBI in 204 at bats. For his career, he is a .251 hitter. jim in iowa gmrstudios2@... wrote:In a message...
Remember though, he was one of the rookies last year along with Cory Paterson in centerfield. I remember he showed a lot of promise and he had really come...
In a message dated 1/11/03 9:40:14 AM Eastern Standard Time, ... I Hope MacPhail isn't just evaluating players based on batting average. BA only shows hits....
Yes I certainly hope so! I think that MacPhail gave up on Brown way to quickly! Neil In a message dated 1/11/2003 10:30:43 AM Pacific Standard Time,...
I agree completely with Jim in Iowa. Roosevelt Brown is one of these guys who hits .358 in the minors and .158 in the majors. He had his chances last year and...
So basically you're saying that given a little time, even you think that Brown would have turned into something pretty good. Neil In a message dated 1/13/2003...
While it is possible Brown might be a decent part-time outfielder somewhere, the Cubs could not afford to keep waiting for that to happen. I think this move is...

WATER PUTS OUT FIRE! Every good coach knows if you load a team with water signs the fire signs are not going to do much good. The Cubs are so overloaded with...
Yeah I agree. Look what happened with Gary Matthews Jr. The Cubs let him go, although MacPhail had said he was hoping he would make it through waivers,...
Define pretty well. He was let go by Pittsburgh and is now with Baltimore. They signed him the other day for a $900,000 contract. That is an extreme insult. I...
$900,000 an insult???? Wow, you must make some pretty good money to be insulted by a one year $900,000 dollar offer. I do okay for myself, however I...
LOL, wish I made that much. I am a $32,000 newspaper editor. But anyway, Sarge Jr. did have a decent year last year, hitting .276 with 7 homers and 38 rbi in ...
I heard a rumor on the SCORE today that the Cubs may be trying to trade for Michael Barrett of the Expos and have him play 3rd base. Any possibility there? I...
