Didn't look to see if this was in here but figured this could be a damn good job for someone. FYI -- Ford is hiring!! When: Thursday January 19th, 2012. 9:00 am - 12:00 pm Where: Bethlehem Star Baptist Church 9231 S Cottage Grove Avenue Chicago, IL 60619

Welcome back Cubano... what else can you tell us about Cespedes and Soler to get us all excited??

I wouldn't be shocked to see the Hawks try to get Burish back... I know they love his game.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jan 10, 2012 -> 11:08 PM) Stalberg for Nash. Do it now. If only...

Looks like the Hawks had a good game against a bad team.. now if only the Hawks could keep Nash in Chicago .....

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jan 5, 2012 -> 08:45 AM) Whats Cowleys take on this? I'm guessing a whole lot different than had KW been the one to acquire bim. On the Score he was proclaiming it a Win Win for both teams....

The Marlins and Cubs have agreed to a trade that will send Carlos Zambrano to Miami for Chris Volstad, reports Bruce Levine of ESPN Chicago (Twitter links). The trade is still pending physicals and approval from the commissioner's office according to Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports (Twitter links). The Cubs will pay between $15MM and $16MM of Zambrano's $18MM salary.

I would have thought they could have gotten more... Surprised ATL didn't get more involved in CQ.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 18, 2011 -> 08:13 PM) Because the Reds were clearly one team willing to overpay for that SP. and as the pitchers market dries up some other team will get desperate and over pay as well. If it ends up not being the case then we can all spend time b****ing, pissing and moaning about how KW screwed things up again.. nothing new

There are still plenty of teams out there that need good SP... why all the panic?? Reds aren't the only team worth dealing with

It still can only help KW get a better deal. Only way I see it could have hurt his position is if they would have dealt Latos for a nothing type package....

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 17, 2011 -> 09:05 PM) Kenny Williams has lost a hell of a lot of chips the last couple years, including to Torotno a few weeks ago. Believe me.. I don't have a lot of faith in KW to get a great deal..certainly he wouldn't have gotten as much from the Reds like that. I am just hoping the market helps him get a good deal if he does deal.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 17, 2011 -> 08:57 PM) The other possibility is that the one team stupid enough to give up serious talent for a starter just made their deal and now they don't need one or have the bullets any more. Entirely possible however teams that are still in need of pitching will end up desperate when they dwindle down....

Brew Crew got the winning bid

IMO its smart to have waited... now the Reds just set the market for SP.

Just beat Gears 3 on hardcore after having it for 2 days... pretty short but the action is intense. Story line is interesting as well. Now time to beat it on Insanity level... this will make it much more challenging.

Cowley is a joke... he has to be one of the worst writers out there... next to Phil Rogers that is.

This is like Lindros all over... talented kid but the head was too messed up. Its a real shame.. obviously Sid the Kid is far more talented than Lindros was but still.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 12, 2011 -> 06:23 PM) This team is made to be blown up. Exactly why they refused to give no trade clauses....

Might as well turn this into flag football.. can't hit anyone anymore.

I have a lot more faith that Dunn can turn it around than Rios actually playing like he gives a damn.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 7, 2011 -> 06:45 PM) Very very true. I just wish part of the rebuild was hiring a new GM Same here.. I have no trust that KW will be able to rebuild this team properly.. I was hoping he would be gone along with Oz

He will probably serve it at some minimum security country club....

I don't like the fact he is going elsewhere but it is what it is... Good luck Mark and thanks for all you've done!

Knew it was only a matter of time b4 they brought up Favre... hopefully he will stay retired.
