July 19, 200520 yr Good move by the Cubs. Gerut doesnt have a place with the indians with Grady S emergence. Was Gerut a sox fan or his dad was?

July 19, 200520 yr The Indians just got robbed. Dubois is made to be a DH, but Hafner has that spot locked up for the next 10 years. Good Move for the Cubs.
July 19, 200520 yr The Chicago Cubs today acquired outfielder Jody Gerut (GARR-ett) from the Cleveland Indians in exchange for outfielder Jason Dubois. Gerut, 27, has seen Major League action in each of the past three seasons with the Indians, batting .267 in 305 career big league games with 34 homers and 138 RBI. The left-handed batter has appeared in 44 games for the Indians this season, batting .275 (38-138) with 11 extra-base hits and 12 RBI. He has batted .313 (36-113) against right-handed pitchers. The Elmhurst, Illinois, native had his best Major League season in 2003, leading the Indians in home runs (22) and RBI (75). He was selected by Major League managers, executives and scouts as The Sporting News' Rookie of the Year among position players after batting .279 (134-480). He finished fourth in BBWAA Rookie of the Year balloting for the American League. Defensively, Gerut has seen action in 202 games (190 starts) in right field, 55 games (51 starts) in left field and 26 games (23 starts) in center field. He has committed just eight errors in 2,410.1 career innings. Dubois, who made his Major League debut with the Cubs in 2004, has batted .236 with 8 homers and 27 RBI in 72 Major League games. The outfielder appeared in 52 games for the Cubs this year and batted .239 with 22 RBI before being optioned to Iowa (AAA) on July 7.

July 19, 200520 yr This is a solid move by the Cubs, but I figure they'll have to do more. They've won 7 of their last 8 and are still like 5 games out of the wildcard. They're not going to play Pitt and Cin the rest of the year, they still have a lot of games vs. Cards and Houston, and this lineup can still be shutdown against good pitching

If they had traded Hollandsworth, I can understand. And what the hell will the Cubs do now? Murton has been en fuego since coming up. WHY WON'T DUSTY PLAY THE KIDS!!!!!!???

Andruw Jones won a GG in his first full year in the big leagues. Jim Edmonds won a GG in his 3rd full year in the big leagues. So yes, they were great fielders when they first came into the league. Dubois is absolutley brutal I doubt you'll find anyone who would call him a future GG winner or even an average LF defensively.

July 19, 200520 yr The Cubs making a good move when was the last time one could say that with a straight face
July 19, 200520 yr something tells me your a cubs fan <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'm a fan of Chicago baseball. I'm a fan of baseball. I have my teams I like and my teams I hate, but the only time I root against the Sox is when they play the Cubs.
