Hey..,just heard about the Mets thinking about a trade offer from the Rockies.....Preston Wilson for Mike Cameron. I remember 2 years ago Preston Wilson was...
He's a real good stick. But we don't have a starting outfielder to trade for him like the Mets do. If they would take Hairston for him, I would say yes. jim in...
that might be true... but, I still contend that it is addition by subtraction.. and I think his replacement will come close to 80 RBI's.. We have Nomar...
then what role will hairston have on the team? he played outfield/DH only because brian roberts was playing 2b and the orioles wanted to get both guys in the...
well, I think it will be limited...I think 2nd base is Walker's... To be honest with you, I think the Cubs completely screwed around with 2nd base last...
well, I think Walker has alot of pull this time around... Hairston really was a throw in on the Sosa deal... I do not know how much say or influence Hairston...
The potential trade of Sammy Sosa to the Baltimore Orioles is the hot topic this week. Sorry, folks, but there is no update on the "Believe" bracelets. All I'm...
If I'm not mistaken, I believe Todd Walker re-signed with the Cubs under the condition of being the starting 2nd baseman. At least, that is what I have heard....
Hey Matt, couple things: 1. Yes, I really want to see Walker everyday...plus he is lefty 2. I heard on the way home from work that as soon as the Sammy thing...
mike. Good points .. all of them!! Especially the one about hte public relations mess from the Cub's perspective, however as far as Sosa goes I believe the...
I really just HATE the Burnitz idea. I would rather have kept Sammy than just replace him with another schmuck who strikes out a ton!!! And Burnitz won't have...
Yep- sorry Nat, I guess it is just because I have known some Nates in my life- but not any Nats!!!LOL- could be my senility kicking in again too... -Geo ... ...
Yeah i'm not crazy about Burnitz either. If there going to attempt to get him, they mise well just play Dubois full time. He at least has some upside to...
Harry Caray called him the greatest second baseman he ever saw. Whitey Herzog dubbed him "Baby Ruth." There are plenty of superlatives to choose from when...
After Sammy Sosa is officially introduced as a member of the Baltimore Orioles, the Cubs will likely unveil their replacement right fielder, Jeromy Burnitz. ...
Not sure how many times he has been on the DL, but he was limited to 126 games in 2003. He played 150 games last year and has that many games or more six of...
The strikeout numbers for Burnitz are pretty similar to Sammy Sosa. In 2004, Sosa batted 478 times, walking 56 and striking out 133 while compiling a .332 on...
AWESOME! Being a Rockies fan along with a Cubs fan, I think Burnitz will be an awesome addition. I'm glad he went to another team I root for! Smiles,...
A full 83% of fans in a Tribune poll said that that they were glad to see Sammy go. (Though half of them said it would have been good to get more for him.)...
Well I guess Burnitz could be a slight improvement on Sammy as far as taking a few more walks, and maybe striking out less, but Sammy was a much bigger threat...
Im really going to miss sosa. I had hoped that sosa was going to stay with the cubs i really didn't blame him for what happened last year at all. I guess that...
