Carlos Lee AND Willie Harris for Pods, Viz and Ginter.

 

That's the latest.

 

And an offer to Clement for 27M over 3 years with 3M in incentive.

What?? where did u get this harris info from???

Carlos is not just some Deer-ish "power hitter".  He gets on base regularly and has very low strikeout numbers considering his power.  His k/bb ratio is also pretty good.  That's valuable.

Problem is his dumb base running (or in some cases standing). I can't tell what I think of this trade until I see exactly what we got.

Where'd you hear this?

I know we won the AL Central the last 5 years in a row but we need to change our philosophy.

 

I seriously hope this is a typo.

Are we turning into the Minnesota Twins?

 

-Less power

-More speed

-Better bullpen

-Better rotation (hopefully)

Just to calm my nerves, what do you all think the chances of us signing a SP are?

I just needed some reassurance.

He was a one year wonder and everyone will realize that this upcoming year. Also he is a butcher in center.

out of his only 2 full seasons one was great ( .300+, 45+ SB ) one season was OK (.250, 70 SB, 85 runs on a s***ty offensive club)... and you say he was a one year wonder?

 

this guy has talent and could surpass all of your expectations and become a fan favriote.

I think it is sarcasm.

Tell ya what, if I'm wrong, burn me at the stake.

 

Until then, keep the jury out.

.265 minor league hitter, spent 9 f***ing seasons in the minors.

We've speculated that we have almost $10 mil open now...

I think it is sarcasm.

My guess too...

yeah..but thomas is out for a while...and when he comes back where the hell is Carl going to play....they're both DH's.

I thought I read that Herm said he should be ready around Spring Training.

 

Edit: Yep, yep I did.

 

Even though manager Ozzie Guillen said designated hitter Frank Thomas could be out until June, trainer Herm Schneider said Thomas is progressing as expected and should be ready during spring training. ...

 

From the Cubune....

Apparently the Cubs fans have a special reception that we don't get, b/c that's the only place I'm seeing Willie mentioned.

Just to calm my nerves, what do you all think the chances of us signing a SP are?

The chances are very good.

 

Question is...who is it going to be?

 

Are we going to have an Odalis Perez or a Matt Clement or...I dunno, Pedro.

 

Res assured...we will sign a pitcher. Let's just pray...for Kenny's sake at Soxfest...that it is someone reputable.

ESPN.com has a headline that says the white sox joined the bidding for matt clement, but its one of their rumor central articles that you have to be a member for. does neone know who else is in the bidding and what the sox have offered.  possibly a link to that article.

Red Sox, not White. Say away from Clement. He won 9 games and is going to get $9 million. The Cubs had a better record than Sox and Garland won more than that.

Carlos was caught stealing 5 times last year -- that includes "real" steals and pickoffs. You really want to get rid of him for that?

What was his run support?

Clement did have one of the worst run support in the majors last year. You have to factor that in. Just like people that think perez will only get 5-6 million next year because of his low win total. That is just foolish to beleive.

Why the hell isn't this even on rotoworld yet? Or, mlb.com? Or espn.com?

 

I know it hasn't been announced yet, but wouldn't they have just the rumors somewhere other than radio sources?

 

Steff -- is this all true, from what you're hearing?

Sorry fellas, as much as I want him LA Radio has been reporting all morning that Clement will be signed by the Angels by tonight.

 

We now need Odalis Perez, and much cheaper.

.265 minor league hitter, spent 9 f***ing seasons in the minors.

I don't know if this makes anyone feel better, but I talked to a guy at the Cougars game once, (where I worked) he said he had Podsednik live with him when he played with the Cougars (affiliated with the Marlins at that time.) He said the kid was not the most talented player in the world, but worked his a$$ off. That's the only reason he made it to the pro's. I like guys that work their asses off, I'm willing to give him a chance.

 

But jesus kenny sign a starting pitcher.

are u dumb? look at his ERA, not to mention that he is a groundball pitcher. Hey kerry wood has the same career high in wins as garland. The cubs should do a wood for garland swap
