Jim Fainter Posted June 20, 2003 Author Share Posted June 20, 2003 Hernandez is in a big time slump and had been benched in favor of Jose Uribe, who will turn out to be a terrific shortstop. The Denver report tonight said that the Cubs initiated the trade talks for Hernandez. That was a direct quote from Manager Clint Hurdle.

I don't doubt that. He did pretty well for the Cubs. He'll fill in at 3B and provide depth for them if they trade for Mike Lowell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Chappas Posted June 20, 2003 Share Posted June 20, 2003 Did I read correct that he has struck out 95 times this year? If this was not a misprint, that adds gasoline to the cub offensive woes. They also gave up the same type of guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm... what's the record for most K's by 3 guys in the same lineup in one year? Sosa and Hernandez could break that record alone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted June 20, 2003 Share Posted June 20, 2003 Wow talk about trading some K's. Tough call on this one, but I believe it takes the Cubs out of the Mike Lowell sweepstakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

upnorthsox Posted June 20, 2003 Share Posted June 20, 2003 Never could understand why strikeouts are such a big deal with some people, was it really better that CLee GIDP 3 times yesterday instead of K'ing 3 times? Â The problem with Hernandez is not that he has 95 K's, it's that he's hitting .186 with RISP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think so at all. Jose provides the Cubs insurance in case they can't get Lowell and depth if they do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AssHatSoxFan Posted June 20, 2003 Share Posted June 20, 2003 hate to ruin the sCrUBS WS plans but they are not going to get Lowell now after the year he is having they would have offer a lot more to get him so now they get another K master who swings as much as Sosa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Hudler Posted June 20, 2003 Share Posted June 20, 2003 If the Cubs really want Lowell, they'll get him. They have more than enough talent to get him. It is just a matter of whether they are willing to pay the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxplosion Posted June 20, 2003 Share Posted June 20, 2003 Great. Jose was on my fantasy team and the only reason he was any good was that he played in Coors. Well, thats that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxFan1 Posted June 20, 2003 Share Posted June 20, 2003 I havent been watching lately. This is an official trade? If so, the Rockies DEFINITELY win. Hernandez is gonna K 225 times this year and Bellhorn needed a change of scenery. Coors will help him out a lot. Only the sCrUBS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted June 20, 2003 Share Posted June 20, 2003 Jose (Mr. K) Hernandez to Cubs for Belhorn. Very interesting. Pretty fair trade, imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
