QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Jul 31, 2006 -> 03:12 PM) Top of the order, in the sense that he's fast? Because his OBP skillz are slim to none. Yeah, not lead off by any means. I was saying fast, and makes contact. He is better than what they have.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 31, 2006 -> 03:11 PM) Isn't he a low OBP guy who has a pretty big contract? He will hit around .300 ish. Can steal bases and is only 26. He makes 3.2 million this year. Not a bad pickup for old man Maddux who is done.,

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 31, 2006 -> 03:09 PM) But what do they need him for? With the money they'll have to spend this offseason, they'd be better off just signing better parts. Their infield defense is the least of their worries. Top of the order, and to play 2b or SS. Its better than Nefi Perez, and they traded walker.

QUOTE(spiderman @ Jul 31, 2006 -> 03:09 PM) This is a positive move for the Cubs... Totally. But he would probably break his leg walking off the plane.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jul 31, 2006 -> 03:07 PM) Bombs Away Levine is saying Cesar Isturis That wouldnt be a bad transaction for them.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Jul 31, 2006 -> 03:06 PM) Linebrink to the Metropolitans? I wish we got Geoff Blum

QUOTE(Reddy @ Jul 31, 2006 -> 03:03 PM) SP Oliver Perez 6.63 1.83 getting shelled in AAA.

QUOTE(Reddy @ Jul 31, 2006 -> 03:01 PM) mets just traded perez for linebrink dumb move now? I didnt say it was a dumb move. I said I liked the Pirates end of it.

I like the annimation at the end.

QUOTE(Reddy @ Jul 31, 2006 -> 02:58 PM) you thought the nady thing was good? Definatley. Perez and Hernandez are just terrbile. Nady is a young player who is improving.

QUOTE(spiderman @ Jul 31, 2006 -> 02:57 PM) Another example of why Pittsburgh is in such bad shape. He is just terrible. The Nady aquisition looked good, and then this.

QUOTE(spiderman @ Jul 31, 2006 -> 02:56 PM) I think Kenny Williams is still watching a movie in his hotel room.... He probably napped through the deadline.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Jul 31, 2006 -> 02:55 PM) *sigh* oh well.

Yeah, we are done.

QUOTE(southsideirish @ Jul 31, 2006 -> 02:51 PM) yes, truly ass-nines!!!!

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jul 31, 2006 -> 02:51 PM) Ya, I thought it was Boston as well. Mariners are very interested in Jason Schdmit apparently. gosh darn the mariners, lets get him.

QUOTE(southsideirish @ Jul 31, 2006 -> 02:47 PM) asinine. truly

QUOTE(southsideirish @ Jul 31, 2006 -> 02:44 PM) So then you want to take that 4.17 ERA arm and place him in the starting rotation? That improves the starting staff when he has a 4.17 ERA when he only throws a couple innings at the most per outing? You are making a case against BMAC and then want him in the starting rotation at the same time. Asinine. Yes, he is better in the rotation than in the pen. He is a starter. Ass-nines.

You would think the phillies would sell some more spiff to us.

QUOTE(Buehrle>Wood @ Jul 31, 2006 -> 02:43 PM) If any of the contenders make a big deal in the nest 15 minutes, consider us royally effed. Yup. We need a good push here, and nothing is happening.

If boston got Jones, with the Yankees getting Abreu. the wildcard could come out of the east for sure.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Jul 31, 2006 -> 02:39 PM) Perhaps if we all simultaneously prayed it would work. I'm willing to try anything at this point.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 31, 2006 -> 02:37 PM) At least the chorizo won't melt under pressure. not like the cheddarwurst. That bastard.

QUOTE(Jake @ Jul 31, 2006 -> 02:39 PM) Jacque would be an improvement over Podsednik, but not a huge one. Not to mention the price we would probably have to pay to get him. He would be a nice high average backup.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jul 31, 2006 -> 02:34 PM) 29 minutes left before we realize the horror that the team will still be the same, and our pitching is still the same. Please please please trade javy Kenny. Please. ack (Chicago) What is goin on with the White sox, are they going to make any moves before the deadline is over? GARY GILLETTE Jack, they are not likely at this point to make a big move. More likely a modest deal to improve their bullpen and let them put McCarthy in the rotation, which they should have done long ago.
