Also lot of their errors could be eliminated with Lee at first. And S.F. has 2 young stud pitchers in the minors. Palmer and Martinez. Since they are looking for Home run hitters. And better defense this trade makes sense for both teams. Cubs have Hoffpauir who is a great first baseman but less than average outfielder.<BR/> Everyone talks about signing Dempster and Wood. If the Cubs trade Lee they have an extra 13 mil. to spend. Why not sign Sabathia and Fuentes. Let the rumors keep coming.Nick I Cub Fanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03566720387061284952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37440895.post-15435075041868286212008-10-14T23:21:00.000-05:002008-10-14T23:21:00.000-05:00dude like always you are doing an awesome job with...dude like always you are doing an awesome job with the rumors. i visit this site everyday!

It would have taken the Brewers Prince and Hardy to get that rumored deal done. Sanchez would be more likely, but I don't like Sanchez at all, a 5.01 era?? (Marshall has as much potential as Sanchez in my opinion). Peavy would be a great pick-up but do we really have the farm system to acquire him? I like the Dunn idea, and I could live with him in right field and his defensive shortcomings bc his offensive production would be great at Wrigley. That would leave you with a platoon of Reed and Fukudome in center. We really need a lead-off hitter and Furcal does make alot of sense. He is a huge upgrade defensivley over theriot and I like theriot more as a utility player. I say go out and re-sign Wood and Dempster, make a play for Furcal and Dunn. Attempt to trade for Peavy.<BR/>Line-up- <BR/>1.) Furcal (S)<BR/>2.) DeRosa (R)<BR/>3.) Ramirez (R)<BR/>4.) Dunn (L)<BR/>5.) Soriano (R)<BR/>6.) Lee (R)<BR/>7.) Soto (R)<BR/>8.) Fukudome/Johnson (L/R)<BR/>gives you some good balance with a powerful bench in Fontenot, Hoffpauir, Theriot, Cedeno, Blanco.<BR/>Rotation-<BR/>Z, Peavy, Lily, Harden, Dempster w/ Marshall and Marquis as long-men/spot starters.<BR/>Granted that this will all never happen due to the ownership situation in a flux, but it is nice to think about.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37440895.post-38021473634549719082008-10-14T16:55:00.000-05:002008-10-14T16:55:00.000-05:00Here are many sites saying Peavy is avaliable-http...Here are many sites saying Peavy is avaliable-<BR/><BR/>http://weblog.signonsandiego.com/sports/drooz/weblog/archives/028161.html<BR/><BR/>http://www.nctimes.com/articles/2008/10/14/sports/padres/zbfde541040a37bc8882574e20005978d.txt<BR/><BR/>http://www3.signonsandiego.com/stories/ ... ct/?padres<BR/>http://insider.espn.go.com/espn/blog/index?entryID=3619358&name=olney_buster&action=login&appRedirect=http%3a%2f%2finsider.espn.go.com%2fespn%2fblog%2findex%3fentryID%3d3619358%26name%3dolney_buster<BR/><BR/>i hope this helps!<BR/><BR/>and according to espn this morning the Pads will try to attach Greene to any deal according to buster onley.cubsfan82https://www.blogger.com/profile/08133613771257793472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37440895.post-67630595660582979322008-10-14T16:02:00.000-05:002008-10-14T16:02:00.000-05:00ok...i like the idea of Peavy,I give you that, but...ok...i like the idea of Peavy,I give you that, but i need to know your "source".
