Harry Chappas Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 For a team struggling to get runs and get something going I find it surprising. They should be looking for Dye out there as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 I wonder if they'll get Bard back in the deal. I also wouldn't be surprised if they got someone like Meredith in the trade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Chappas Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 SCORE is talking to Steve Stone; Â Here it is, Stone's friend talked to Barrett moments ago and he is leaving. Barrett is a FA. Â Speculation Stone says they had to be getting Bard or Bowen... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bard's numbers are certainly down across the board this season, and Kevin Towers may be regretting that deal he gave him in the off-season (think it was a 3 year deal). Â So maybe Barrett for Bard and a fringe bullpen arm from the Pads? They're pretty full with relievers ATM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 I think this weakens the Cubs. Barrett may have had his downfalls but wasn't he a silver slugger? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Linebrink makes way above minimum. You can't have that in the bullpen. Eric Patterson is supposed to be a decent prospect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Wouldn't surprise me....if there's one thing Hendry knows how to do, it's to get a lot of value for his players via trade. Â QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Jun 20, 2007 -> 02:07 PM) Linebrink makes way above minimum. You can't have that in the bullpen. Eric Patterson is supposed to be a decent prospect. Â Linebrink is nothing special....he greatly benefits from pitching in that park. The Cubs now have 5 good righty relievers in Dempster, Marmol, Linebrink, Wuertz, and Howry. However, not having a solid everday catcher will hurt them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg The Bull Luzinski Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 The Padres are one of my favorite NL teams (cicra 1984), so I hate having them acquire a defensively retarded catcher. Yuck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
