The only problem is his agent is Barry Paver, not Scott Borass. He only have Borass for about a year. Look for Hendry to start negotiating with his agent just...
But Maddox signed with the Braves for LESS than what the Cub's offered. Sadly, it's become a game of greed. Prevoked by, in my opinion, by the player's agents...
Maddux was not offered a contract back in the early 90's. Our management at that time didn't feel maddux was a good fit for out team. Maddux wanted to stay...
Truly you need to consider the perspective of the writer.... such as Ryno's agenda and his further ambitions within the Cub organization. In retrospect, even...
There was 2 sides to this dance. The Borass factor. Greg let Borass negotiate alone and had no input. After negoations broke down and Greg signed with the...
Now if I remember correctly- the Cubs made Maddux an offer, and then rescinded it. If he was not a "good fit", then why were they willing to make an offer at...
Excellent Post on Himes: I brought this issue up a few days back because looking at our history is integral at looking at our future. Let's hope the Cubs...
Himes is a good reminder that a GM in today's world needs to have people skills. Not only was he unpopular with Maddux, there weren't many agents or GM's who...
Great links.... and so many on this board wonder why I am so hard on Cub management. It's because they have demonstrated stupidity beyond belief over and over...
OK- since Zito signed with the Giants for $18 million a year (for 7 YEARS!!!), does that make the Lilly deal of $10 million a year for 4 years a steal? I mean,...
That's great, if you want to take that angle. But Zito is a Cy Young Award winner and has never missed a start. He's a west coast lefty that is smart enough to...
I just hope they tie Zambrano up for a while, and don't just settle on another single year deal. And can the baseball market handle this increase in pitching...
From what I understand, they probably will tie him up for 1 more year just to get past arbatration and then start the re-notation process. Frank "E. George...
Casey McGehee enjoyed a successful season with the Tomateros de Culiacan of the Mexican Pacific League. The 24-year-old third baseman hit in 16 straight games...
With the addition of Ted Lilly and Hill in the rotation, Lee H. of Warwick, England, e-mailed to ask how left-handed pitchers have fared at Wrigley Field over...
I think Lilly's the better deal. Stuff-wise they are very similar except that Lilly throws a little harder. Other than Zito's one big year, he hasn't proven to...
I found this an interesting post from Carrie Muskat about the Cubs closer situation, the stat about being last in 1-2-3 innings brings back painful memories....
Don't forget Neil Cotts. ... closer situation, the stat about being last in 1-2-3 innings brings back painful memories. Do you think the abundance of starters...
.Hi everybody: The Sammy Sosa saga took a pathetic new turn this past week, as the Yokohama Bay Stars turned down an offer made by his agent to them. A ...
You know, if we get a decent showing out of our closer, you really have to like the depth of this bullpen. They have an opportunity to be really special. jim...
A team needs to get to a closer with a lead before needing a closer. With Cub starters anticipating to go 6 innings and the Cub offense keeping the games...
If you look at the NL as a whole, there aren't many star starting "stoppers" in anybody's rotation.... meaning that there is an overabundance of mediocre-type...
I really liked the bullpen last season, they just got so overworked they wore down. I think that if our starters can do their part and eat innings, we will see...
lol thats good Conj ... __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around ...
hi all, I liked the bullpen too, until we got to Dumpster. Please let us not dump Dumpster into the class of "effective closers". I consider Dumpster part of...
Also remember how long of a layoff between save chances he had in '06. I want to see how he does with a new manager and revamped rotation. We where out of a...
That stats that you provide may be valid, but the reasoning for Dempster's lack of consistency may not follow the logic. I would counter that reasoning by...
