Should have moved Dempster back in the rotation, and let Ardsma or Howry close. ... From: elgoodbill To: thecubhouse@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, July 31,...
We should keep Pierre definitely for CF and leadoff. I also like Murton and Pagan for LF. Getting rid of Jones is not even in the Cubs thoughts and it should...
Matt Murton is probably destined to be a fourth outfielder. He's not showing enough pop to warrant blowing a traditional power position on him. We should go...
Jim, are you sure your last name isn't Hendry? I'm sold on neither Pagan nor Muron. While I admit that Jones- whom I think you way overestimate and to whose...
Dempster isn't a starter. The alternative to his being the closer is sending him to Iowa. --CF4L ... __________________________________________________ Do You...
Perez and Mabry are both decent bench players, but no more. Novoa needs to go. We need Zito plus one more starting pitcher, plus a closer, plus Lee. And I'm...
Last night when i got home and saw that Greg Maddux was now gone and a Dodger i gave Hendry the finger and said your nuts i say we fire your dumb ass for...
Then let me explain it to you. Hendry traded a once-great but now very ordinary pitcher who will be a free agent at the end of this season, and could...
Actually, the Chicago baseball writers think Hendry did very well in the Maddux trade. He really killed two birds with one stone. So of course, Dusty starts...
Cesar Izturis, ChC, SS He moves from a utility role to the Cubs' starting shortstop – with Ronny Cedeno likely moving to second – so in that regard, yes,...
http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/ had some angry words about those sports writers commenting on the trade. I can live with Izturis as long as we get some great...
I agree, and don't understand the heat Hendry is getting for this. Everyone in the country knew that he was going to try to deal Maddux, and that Maddux was...
They are giving Cedeno a few days of practice at 2B to get him comfortable making the pivot before putting him a MLB game at second base. Be patient, guess we...
I agree. Watch for some guys to make it through the waiver wire, ie; Perez and Rusch. If Hendry can get rid of them, that would almost be as cool as when he...
About pitching. Five names to give you guys, and please share your thoughts. Marmol(Live arm) potential starter. Hill(Looked good last night), finally putting...
Anyone see Mad Dogs numbers since may 1st? Yuck. Everyone loved to see Maddux pitch. Its just our Cubs mentality to love losing. Getting a starting ss was a...
I am just going to cross my fingers on this deal. Will this new guy hit, I don't know? But the one thing I saw last night was his defense looked good at short....
... Really? I can. We're now committing $4m to a shortstop who's got a career on-base percentage of .295, on a team that already has too many easy outs, when...
I have given myself a few days to think about how I really felt about trading Greg Maddux. On the one hand, I can understand letting him go because he is...
-LOL,yeah i dont get it,just a few days ago the same guys who are critisizing the light hitting,slick fielding Izturis,wanted to get rid of the great hitting...
I was at the game last night and was (finally) impressed. Hill looked very sharp. He was working quickly like he was comfortable, and his curveball wasn't...
The bad thing about this trade is that Izurtis is hitting about.250, and shows no real promise of doing better (as the article points out, with the exception ...
This group may include the only two people in the world who think that Dempster can be a starter. --CF4L ... __________________________________________________...
No inconsistency involved. Catchers aren't shortstops. --CF4L ... __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail...
... Looks decent, but still young. ... Nice outting last night. Hopefully he's adjusting to the big leagues. He could be great if he can be consistent. ... ...
Everything is the Cubs problem. The OF either can't figure out where to play the ball (Murton), can't throw (Pierre) or can't hit a cutoff man (Jones)....
That was what I was inferring. We may not even resign Miller if his arm is done after this season. That would give us a rotation of Zambrano, 2 elite free...
