July 30, 200916 yr QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jul 30, 2009 -> 03:37 PM) We should have traded them Randy Williams. If you would have asked Hawk last night during the game, I dont think he would have given up Williams straight up for Halladay
July 30, 200916 yr QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 30, 2009 -> 03:36 PM) Grabow's WHIP is a hefty 1.500 this year. Yikes. http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/g/grabojo02.shtml a career WHIP at 1.45, so it's not like he's just having an off year Do they have games against the Cards left? That lineup is so tough with Holliday, Derosa and Ludwick now hitting and even Lugo is hitting. The Cubs may realize that Hart, Dempster and Wells might not fair so well against them and Harden, even when he pitches well, is often out in the 6th. Edited July 30, 200916 yr by SoxFan562004
July 30, 200916 yr I have a bit of a feeling that Fontenot might be involved for the Cubs. Not based on anything other then gut feeling

July 30, 200916 yr Goldstein was twittering that Jackson was in it. Not the Cubs 1st round pick from this year.

July 30, 200916 yr QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jul 30, 2009 -> 04:57 PM) Looks like Jackson isn't in the deal. It's Josh Harrison a 3B. So basically this trade is Hart for Grabow. Not bad for either team....not great but not bad. Don't know much about the 3rd baseman but both Gorzo and Ascanio are bums.

Don't know much about the 3rd baseman but both Gorzo and Ascanio are bums. Harrison seems to have some potential, his minor league numbers suggest he could be a Chone Figgins-esque 3b.
