Agree. He looked overmatched at times in the wbc. He is a gamer but he has got to prove he can hit, not just get hit. He needs reps ,not a bench role.

Well, its a real head scratcher, but when all the angst is over? McQuire or Lee? Does it really matter?

I assume Lee will be traded, but since spanky is a lefty could he be replacing Quero or Teel?

He's the house boy.

He gone

I see Scriffen was in mid season form. Vargas doubled in the 7th. He was replaced by a pinch runner. Next batter flies out and the pinch runner tags and advances to third base. Schriffen of course congratulates VARGAS on heads up base running. Next batter singles and of course Schriffen calmly tells us VARGAS! ( who is sitting on the bench) scores. Schriffen is so bad its entertaining.

Vasil and Baldwin out? Oh no there goes the world series. Seriously every team gets injuries. Next man up.

What outage?

So temporarily solves the two or three catcher question.

And McDougal

A new Cub killer?

Would you prefer to go through life with or without a disability?..........Answer the question.

I'll second that motion!

Vargas, Quero,Sosa?

I never look at anything Cubs

Grizzlies

Ha! Of course I meant good start but maybe I was guided to GOD start.

Getting off to god start is essential. Getting in a deep hole early could be devastating.

This " get what you can" is not a winning formula.

He chose to resign rather than have it exposed. ( by the owners?) Perhaps there is more that will not come out now because of his resignation. Just funny that he resigns NOW, due to scandal, after such a long tenure.

True. He will be a free agent at the end of 2 years regardless, but you could extend him if you don't trade him. So much depends on his production.

I'm not normally one for conspiracy theories but the timing seems susspicious with the salary cap issue looming.

What if at the end of 2 years they have a contending team and a deal on a new stadium?

Just tell Getz he is a switch hitter, and he is ours.

Next,how many strikeouts?
