Derosa is a guy that can only be gotten rid of if we could get a Peavy. Until then, our starting rotation has big holes. Big Z under-acheives every year, and we keep waiting for that 20 win Cy Young season that we all know he is capable of. Demp is not going to repeat his big year. When the pressure is on, he gets tight, we saw that when he was a closer. Harden's arm is held together with silly putty. Lilly does his thing he is a tipical 3 starter he does fine. Soriano can't be relied on in the post-season, everyone saw him give up at the end of last year. Did the same with the Yanks. Derek Lee needs to GO. He has been clogging up our lineup with double play balls for too many years. Again, just my take, I was fake all of these years believing and hoping that each year would be different, but now I can't be anything but real. Must gets for postseason success: Peavy, another lefty in the bullpen, a true leadoff hitter.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37440895.post-13013340270166741442009-02-10T19:18:00.000-06:002009-02-10T19:18:00.000-06:00Anyone else hear that Royce Clayton was invited to...Anyone else hear that Royce Clayton was invited to camp?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37440895.post-35138408292749246902009-02-10T17:38:00.000-06:002009-02-10T17:38:00.000-06:00Soriano won a ring with the Yankees so Stone is ta...Soriano won a ring with the Yankees so Stone is talking out his ass lol.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37440895.post-26400617283200617422009-02-10T16:33:00.000-06:002009-02-10T16:33:00.000-06:00No team with Steve Stone on the roster ever won th...No team with Steve Stone on the roster ever won the World Series either.

I dont think the Cubs could get Peavy and then make a run for Holliday. I see the A's being a "piece" of the ALW. I would be surprised if the A's aren't in the race out there.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37440895.post-66610347772429920622009-02-10T11:02:00.001-06:002009-02-10T11:02:00.001-06:00totally agree cubs have better leadoff options the...totally agree cubs have better leadoff options then soriano. lik theriot or fonty. i would be all about the cubs signing hudson and trading for peavy. the cubs messed up and signed miles too early they didnt anticipate this much talent being available this lateAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37440895.post-65154322922284844232009-02-10T11:02:00.000-06:002009-02-10T11:02:00.000-06:00totally agree cubs have better leadoff options the...totally agree cubs have better leadoff options then soriano. lik theriot or fonty. i would be all about the cubs signing hudson and trading for peavy. the cubs messed up and signed miles too early they didnt anticipate this much talent being available this lateAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
