An MRI showed that Garza still has fluid in his triceps, won't pitch til after deadline. There goes his trade value.

It is pretty awesome how everything Theo thought he would be able to do has just turned into a disaster, starting with the changes to the drafting system and international signings in the CBA this winter.

I would give them Danks straight up for Garza right now.

The "Travis Wood is the real deal" crowd sure has quieted. ERA nearing 5.

Still better than Nestor Molina

Bored at work went into Gameday and flipped through the cubs stats. Other than baby Jesus Rizzo that lineup is embarrassing. I did not realize that Soto was under .200. Ole Starlin in the .280's which is good but with that defense and lock of OBP nothignto write home about.

It is amazing how much Soto has flopped since his ROY season.

currently

 

and sean marshall is better than sergio santos

 

higher ceilign goes to Nestor which I am fine with Sox are not missing santos and may have known that they could easily replace him.

The Cubs ought to package Bryan LaHair into a Dempster deal.

Try to leverage any remaining value he has into getting a better pitching prospect.

Way too early to write off Molina. I have a feeling he's been hurting all season due to the amount of innings he pitched last year. I don't think we've seen the real Molina yet.

 

As for Travis, best case scenario he's a NL #4 starter. I'll take my chances on the guy KW, his scouts, and Paddy have scouted extensively and were very high on coming into the season.

His profile sure screams that. Had that suddenly gigantic increase in power in AAA, and first year in the majors... then the new drug testing came out, and he's fallen off to being awful.

I'm thoroughly enjoying it.

So Castro is young and all, but he has a .308 obp. I would imagine that the vast majority of those across baseball would rather have him than viciedo, but I'm not sure that there is much difference

IMO, Cubs should offer Castro to Mariners for Hultzen and another prospect

Cubs try to offer Soriano to the dodgers to sweeten the pot. Lawl

Unless they pick up at least half the money, that's lawl-worthy.

AJ Burnett no hitter into the 8th at Wrigley.

Just curious... what exactly is the Cubs' starting rotation now? With Demp and Maholm traded?

Garza, Samardja, Wood, Germano?, Volstad?. Germano started Monday, Volstad just got recalled for Coleman who started last night

just rumors, but I've heard if the Cubs have any notion of trading him at any point they will have to pick up well over half of the money.

How about that professional front office eh?

The Cubs chances of trading Alfonso Soriano or anyone else to the Dodgers in the near future probably has been killed by the sour taste left from the Ryan Dempster saga.

 

Sources confirmed Saturday that Cubs management did not let the Dodgers know they were letting Dempster listen in on phone calls between the team Tuesday regarding the possibility of a trade to them. The serious breach of ethics figures to affect the relationship between the two organizations, which had been on good terms until now.
