It doesn't make any sense to pay the peak market price in a long term contract for a player with declining skills. You're suggesting that we do that TWICE this offseason for Pujols and Fielder. Not only that but you're suggesting that we play Pujols out of position at third!?! Not that he'll ever seriously consider it but it doesn't make sense anyways.<br /><br />It's time to post something new.

But you ...On the surface this doesn’t look too bad. But you lose credibility on at least 2 counts without much more than a cursory look. First of all Pujols is never going to play 3rd base again. Not on any consistent basis. He’s played 7 games at 3rd this year and has 3 errors. His fielding at third has been brutal. His position is 1st base period. Second, Ty’Relle Harris will be lucky to be playing baseball next year let alone on the Cubs ML staff. He was hit by a hit and run driver almost 2 months ago and from accounts he has 2 broken legs. I hope that he is doing well and is on the road to recovery but it isn’t likely that he will be pitching in the major leagues anytime soon.RoughRiidernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37440895.post-12300853227019183952011-08-05T12:54:28.001-05:002011-08-05T12:54:28.001-05:0010 CALL UPS FOR SEPT.

These are the exact same type of contracts that Hendry gave out before 2007, the same contracts that have handicapped our organization for five years. Their is a major difference between being a big market ball club and an irrational ball club and you pretty much displayed it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37440895.post-84390066178310860372011-08-04T12:50:24.415-05:002011-08-04T12:50:24.415-05:00As a cubs fan all I do is dream, dream if a world ...As a cubs fan all I do is dream, dream if a world series.

Let Ramirez, Pena, Grabow, Wood contracts expire. Sign Fielder. The next year let Zambrano and Dempsters contract expire and get the best starter availble in free agencyCubfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13077447084395284380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37440895.post-65113052210032019652011-08-04T08:07:05.205-05:002011-08-04T08:07:05.205-05:00I would not want Pujols playing 3B cubs already ha...I would not want Pujols playing 3B cubs already have the worst defensive team in baseball. Lets say cubs are lucky enough to sign Fielder and C.J. Wilson. Thats all.<br />They have an option on Ramirez. I would move Marshall to a starter. Dempster and wilson both made that move years ago. I'm also not sure Jackson or Colvin are ready for big time. At least Colvin is getting a chance to prove me wrong.<br />Jackson should be playing if he's in the plans for next year.Since the cubs wouldn't trade Byrd or Johnson i think the cubs also think Jackson is not yet ready. I also don't see anyway Soriano is going anyplace.So here is my line up for next year.<br /><br />Castro<br />Byrd<br />Fielder ( i still think Pena)<br />Ramirez<br />Soto (would like Castillo/Clevenger<br />Sorryiano( i really am sorry)<br />Colvin <br />Barney<br /><br />Castillo<br />Baker<br />Dewitt<br />Campana<br />Johnson<br /><br />Garza<br />Wilson<br />Dempster<br />Marshall<br />Zambrano<br /><br />Marmol<br />Wood<br />Russell<br />Cashner<br />Samardzija<br />Gaub<br />Carpenter<br /><br />Cubs bullpen the month of july<br />Russell ERA 1.74 he's keeping the ball down only 1 HR .<br />Samardzija ERA 3.38 1 HR<br />The rest of the pen sucked.<br />Marmol 9.90 ERA<br />Ortiz 7.04 ERA<br />Wood 6.75 ERA<br />Marshall 5.11 ERA<br />This is what happens when the pen is over worked. And all this started the first week when Wells and Cashner went down. I think one of the cubs strongest points is the pen if its not over used.Nick I Cub Fanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03566720387061284952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37440895.post-43436706215692078372011-08-04T00:33:03.331-05:002011-08-04T00:33:03.331-05:00If only you were our GM or Owner.
