For The Series Win

Poor Juan Mateo is scouring up memories of Sergio Mitre from last year when he had to face Clemens and Halladay , although not in back-to-back starts. Of course Mitre went out and threw two of the best games he'll probably ever pitch. I'm all for a repeat. Cubs are only a half game behind the Nationals in the wild card race.

So what's up with Barrett?

Dusty: "Blanco's in there. Michael's not quite ready yet." Whatever that means.

NEIFI DEALT TO TIGERS FOR MINOR LEAGUE C CHRIS ROBINSON

Submitted by Joel on Sun, 08/20/2006 - 08:01 pm

Cubs just traded Neifi to the Tigers for their third-round pick.

ahaha Joel I win

Neifi traded to Tigers as reported by Pat and Ron for Chris Robinson

Submitted by jumbo on Sun, 08/20/2006 - 08:02 pm

See you in Hell, Niefi. I'm now rooting against the Tigers, as no Niefi should ever win the WS.

Who will we pick on now? Macias, where are you?

Maybe Hendry will trade to get him back during the offseason. I'm having trouble imagining the team without him...

Submitted by Dallas Green on Sun, 08/20/2006 - 08:04 pm

I haven't been this excited about a trade since the Nomar deal. One down and one to go.

Submitted by The Real Neal on Sun, 08/20/2006 - 08:04 pm

There's some Jason Schmidt money! Maybe Hendry can learn from his mistakes.

Submitted by jumbo on Sun, 08/20/2006 - 08:05 pm

Too bad Rusch offers no value whatsoever. Even being LH isn't enough for him.

Submitted by Adrian on Sun, 08/20/2006 - 08:07 pm

jumbo - the Cubs team caterers are likely to attempt to void any Rusch trade

Submitted by carmenfanzone on Sun, 08/20/2006 - 08:08 pm

Maybe the Reds will take Rusch, they're trying everybody.

Submitted by Dallas Green on Sun, 08/20/2006 - 08:10 pm

Remember to send X-Mas cards to Placido Polanco!!!!!!!!!!!! and Dave Dombrowski

Submitted by Carlos on Sun, 08/20/2006 - 08:11 pm

Do you think Perez will be signed in 2008 by the Cubs?

Submitted by crunch on Sun, 08/20/2006 - 08:11 pm

but neifi is worthless and only the cubs would want him cuz hendry hates us and blah blah blah...thank f'n god. if dusty goes, no one will have anything to talk about anymore. bye TCR posters...i'll miss you.

Anyone else feel like it's Christmas morning with no more Neifi? We're getting schooled by Carpenter, and I don't even care! Neifi's gone! Neifi's gone! Neifi's gone!

Submitted by crunch on Sun, 08/20/2006 - 08:20 pm

neal...quit your whining. go back to that last post you're embarrasing yourself on if you wanna cry about me some more.

Submitted by chifan3887 on Sun, 08/20/2006 - 08:25 pm

This might be the best trade Hendry has made since the Lee one. Though I am assuming given the caliber of talent we got back that were paying all of Neifi's deal. Brenley said that Robinson was rated by BA as the best defensive catcher in the Tigers system. He will replace Fox as the top catching prospect in the our system.

Submitted by the E-Man on Sun, 08/20/2006 - 08:33 pm

Don't LET THE DOOR HIT YA on the way out! Actually - I never would have minded Neifi on this team - IF - he was used sparingly off the bench. He's a decent defensive replacement at a modest salary on most contending teams. NOT every other day!! Now he'll be a FULL-time replacement as an everyday player on a contending team. HE sure ain't no Palanco!

Submitted by Rob G. on Sun, 08/20/2006 - 08:38 pm

I doubt that chifan, he's not much of a hitter and he's just the best in the tigers system and they have no catching prospects.

Submitted by crunch on Sun, 08/20/2006 - 08:04 pm

was any money changed hands? seems like the only real plus of moving neifi would be to save a million or 2...take the bite outta izturis's contract.

Submitted by The Real Neal on Sun, 08/20/2006 - 08:54 pm

Crunch, Where was I whining? Admittedly I did do a bit of dancing... Did you figure out Neifi used to play in Colorado yet?

Submitted by crunch on Sun, 08/20/2006 - 08:32 pm

neal...seriously, just shut up or drop it or keep blah blah blahing. make your own rules, make yourself right...compare 1000ab's to 10,000ab's. and please...totally ignore the fact you wanna have a discussion about stats that i never even started yet you keep rearraging your arguement on. i cant talk to you if you're gonna keep changing the way you make your points and just flat out MAKE STUFF UP in other places.

I never had anything against neifi... just his overuse. thank god that's over here.

    masterboney is a luxury on a team that has multiple, capable options for 2nd, SS, and 3rd without him around.  i don't hate the guy, but if madrigal is sticking around then masterboney is expendable.

  • TarzanJoeWallis (view)

    I THINK I agree with that decision. They committed to Wicks as a starter and, while he hasn’t been stellar I don’t think he’s been bad enough to undo that commitment.

    That said, Wesneski’s performance last night dictates he be the next righty up.

    Quite the dilemma. They have many good options, particularly in relief, but not many great ones. And complicating the situation is that the pitchers being paid the most are by and large performing the worst - or in Taillon’s case, at least to this point, not at all.

  • Childersb3 (view)

    Wesneski and Mastrobuoni to Iowa

    Taillon and Wisdom up

    Wesneski can't pitch for a couple of days after the 4 IP from last night. But Jed picked Wicks over Wesneski.

    booooooooooo

    also, wisdom and taillon are both in chicago.

  • TarzanJoeWallis (view)

    Tonight’s game postponed. Split games on Saturday.

  • crunch (view)

    cubs getting crazy good at not having player moves leak.

    taillon we 100% know is pitching tonight.  who he's replacing and any additional moves are unknown as far as i can tell.

    p.wisdom was not in today's lineup in iowa (rained out) and he was removed from the game last night mid-game, but not for injury.  good bet he's with the team in the bigs, too.

  • Bill (view)

    A good rule of thumb is that if you trade a near-ready high ceiling prospect, you should get at least two far-away high ceiling prospects in return.  Like all rules-of-thumb, it depends upon the specific circumstances, but certainly, we weren't going to get Busch for either prospect alone.

  • Sonicwind75 (view)

    Right on schedule, just read an article in Baseball America entitled "10 MLB Prospects Outside The Top 100 Who Have Our Attention".  Zyhir Hope was one of the prospects featured. It stated that he's "one of the biggest arrow-up sleeper prospects in the lower levels right now."

     

    Not sharing to be negative about the trade, getting a top 100 prospect who is MLB ready should carry a heavy prospect cost.  But man, Dodger sure are good at identifying and developing young talent. Andrew Friedman seems to have successfully merged Ray's development with Yankees financial might to create a juggernaut of an organization.  

  • Sonicwind75 (view)

    I suspect Brown will spend some time in the bullpen due to inning restrictions.  Pitched only 93 innings last year and career high is 104 innings in 2022.  I would expect them to be cautious with a young player with his injury history.

  • Childersb3 (view)

    I wanted Almonte gone last week, but that was before Merryweather went down and Little got demoted. Almonte in his last 5 appearances has gone 4.1 IP with no ER or Runs. NO hits, 3 BBs and 8 SO. He did hit 96 with his 2S FB in AZ on Tues.
    I don't see Jed waiving him when we have injuries all over and guys with options that can be sent down.
    I probably won't like the move Jed makes, but he can't play the "let's hope no one wants his 1.7mil remaining deal and we can hide him in Iowa" card.
    That's why I think the current Bullpen stays as is and Wicks goes to Iowa.
    I don't like that, but that's the fix I see.
    We'll find out soon enough!!!
