I totally agree. I'd much rather keep Murton if they get Lugo. It'll make them a little right-handed but I think Murton just brings more to the table overall....
Sox got a great deal- 2.9 million dollars for 1 year. Too bad the Cubs can't find a guy who can steal 70 bags. That would be just what the doctor ordered for...
Cubs interested in southpaw Lilly Chicago hopes to strengthen rotation by signing free agent By Carrie Muskat / MLB.com Ted Lilly is being pursued by the Cubs,...
I really hope someone outbids the Cubs on this one. There's nothing special about this guy at all. Doesn't have great control. He's never pitched 200...
hi John, Any other year, I might say let him go....I like Marshall alot and you never when a guy is going to light it up or just reinforce the fact that he...
Hey Conj, I like the idea of getting Westbrook from the Indians. I think they want a relief pitcher, an infielder and probably a young starterin return. We...
John, I agree with you that Westbrook would win 15+ games with the Cubs. He has pitched 200+ innings for the last 3 years and won at least 14 games each year....
I completely agree with you on this one. In Lilly's last 10 starts of last season he only went past 6 innings once. Definitely not what we really need. But...
The thing is the Cubs have put themselves into a position where they have no choice. They have to get an established pitcher or two -- even if their overall...
Nice post tv and John... If this were any other year I might not get sucked into all the speculation...but like I said..the Cubs have made a believer out of me...
Did Guzman get injured in 2004? I remember thinking he was our BEST pitching prospect in the minors. Guzman had a few good games last year, he pitched 5...
... high. << Why are expectations so sky high at this point??? Other than Soriano, it's essentially the same team as last year..... and the Cubs need sooooooo...
... Guzman was part of the marketing hype that was put out by our new president (John McDonough) to stoke the flames of fan hopes and dreams about "tomorrow"...
It's not about whether the Cubs have a chance at this particular date in December. Your post is written as if we are frozen in time. The expectation is that...
I have serious doubts about Guzman. He was highly regarded at one point but he has had two major shoulder injuries. He doesn't throw with the same velocity...
well MLB Trade rumors is saying that Hendry has had talks with the Rockies about a deal to send Jones to them for Jennings, and they would then send Jones...
Scott, last year the Cubs lost Lee to injury. It is hard to replace a .335 bat that hits 46 home runs. The Cubs record was 66-96, but if we had Lee the Cubs...
I hope this is true. This rumor makes more sense than some of the others I've heard. If everything goes down as you posted it here, it would be a HUGE step...
... third place and only 2 games out of first place. << I don't want to re-hash last year, but I think it would have been unrealistic to have expected Lee to...
The last paragraph of what you said is pretty much the basis of what I was thinking but didn't really put it in my last post. Soriano is here for 8 years and...
Well really you overlook a couple of things too. First off, do you think there is an emotional letdown when the heart of the team (Lee) gets knocked out early...
... Emotional letdown? This is sports and a teammate got injured. It happens to every sports team. It's not like a spouse or girlfriend dumped them,...
I think that I am making a few different assumptions than you are on this issue: 1. They are not done dealing yet, and it is too early to compare them to last...
You might be right George, emotion is part of the game...they are human beings after all. The Cardinals struggled without Pujols, but at least they had their...
Phil Rogers of the Tribune said that sources indicate the Cubs are trying to sign Lofton to a one year deal. To me this indicates a couple of things: 1) Maybe...
Nat, good post and I agree with you. The Cubs will be better just because Lee will be healthy. Losing the best player on a team is hard. But the best part of...
... I loved what Lofton did for the Cubs in 2003. More than anyone else, he was the reason the Cubs won the division. The offense suddenly clicked with him at...
