I wouldn't do it if I were the Cubs. Stud pitching beats Stud hitting.
I do think thats as fair as it would get though. I don't think there could be any straight up trade that would be closer.
I happened to be thinking yesterday of what the Cubs would think of with this package. Jose Valentin and Bartolo Colon to the Cubs (Or Mark Buehrle) and the Sox get Carlos Zambrono and Juan Cruz or that Guzman kid in return.
I was also thinking that since the Cubs have fallen out of favor with Bobby Hill that he could be had for Jose Valentin and a reliever. Although this would be a very tough sell.
I wouldn't want Bobby Hill and Scott Borass on the southside. We already had the disaster of drafting that no talent ass clown. No thank you.
We drafted Hill?
Yeah he held out for the whole year and went back into the draft. The "negotiations" were BS Borass asked for a ton of money and we wouldn't give it to him. End of story.
Im glad we didnt! what has Hill done for the Cubs lately (besides make errors!)

Thats a rip off deal! why would the Sox even consider that deal! Val and Bart to the Cubs for anyone is a rip!
I wasnt trying to be mean or immature but seriously, who gives a s***! If the Cubs did that trade, they trade away there best pitcher and if the Pirates trade Giles for Weaver they might as well contract themselves immediately!
