Rumor be via rotoworld that Yanks have already decided they'll pick up Abreau's $16 mil option

Submitted by The Real Neal on Fri, 10/26/2007 - 10:10 am

I think that's a 3/44 on Rotoworld. I have to agree with cruch, I just don't see what good Schilling would be on the 2008 Cubs.

Submitted by mannytrillo on Fri, 10/26/2007 - 10:14 am

Schilling will likely want a 2 year deal, $20+ million deal and with him being 41 by Opening Day next year, I think I would pass. Anyway, if he does leave BOST, I think it will be very difficult to get him away from PHIL. If it is true about Abreu, Hendry is really going to have to work some magic on the trade front if he wants to really upgrade the team.

Submitted by ARM on Fri, 10/26/2007 - 10:32 am

Schilling is in the deep twilight of his career. Jimmy Hendy: Please don't even think about it.

Submitted by (CA) Phil on Fri, 10/26/2007 - 10:41 am

I know Rob has been promoting Schilling as a Cub option for '08 and I think he has a good point. Two reservations: 1. His price just went up. 2. He seems like such a jerk.

Submitted by Rob G. on Fri, 10/26/2007 - 10:55 am

I have to agree with cruch, I just don’t see what good Schilling would be on the 2008 Cubs. Was that a joke or did you change your mind?

Submitted by Rob G. on Fri, 10/26/2007 - 10:01 am

Yeah, not sure if I'd classify him as jerk or just a blowhard, but either way everyone should just avoid his press conferences. Neal pointed out earlier that Schilling was likely looking for a one year deal, we'll see where it ends up. If someone has a better idea on upgrading our starting staff, I'd love to hear it.

Submitted by The Real Neal on Fri, 10/26/2007 - 10:38 am

Yeah that was sarcasm, Rob G. I said that Schilling was looking for a one year deal, because he wants to make his MMORPG and he's old, then a couple days later Schilling said he was probably just in the one year deal era of his career, I think in the article that had speculation he was going to Philly. I can't find the link. Speculation is anywhere from $10 to $15 million for Schilling, the $10 would undoubtedly have some GS, Innings, and post season success bonuses in it. "Schilling made $13 million this year, but money doesn't figure to be his primary motivation at this point of his career. He said that he's only interested in looking at teams with a chance to win the World Series." It costs about $10 million to make an MMORPG these days, he's probably got that squirrled away by now. Not sure if they intend to self publish, but I would guess so.

Submitted by The Real Neal on Fri, 10/26/2007 - 10:42 am

Forgot to mention that Rob already clearly layed out the appeal of Schilling coming to the Cubs. The chance of him being known as 'the Cursebreaker' is going to be pretty tempting for that giant ego of his. The phillies have a pretty long world seriesless streak going too, though, don't they? I haven't ever heard of him being a clubhouse problem, so he seems to keep that ego in check among his teammates, unlike a guy like Sammy.

Submitted by Rob G. on Fri, 10/26/2007 - 10:47 am

not that long....1983 for the Phils and they won in 1980. I think if he hits the FA market, the Cubs should definitely be seriously interested. But I don't see why the Red Sox would let him go to be honest. Beckett, Dice-K, Wakefield, Buchholz, Lester as their staff? I'd think I'd keep Schilling around with those options.

Submitted by mannytrillo on Fri, 10/26/2007 - 10:54 am

Rob G.: "If someone has a better idea on upgrading our starting staff, I’d love to hear it." Everything is based off unknown assumptions. Will he even come here? How much would it cost? How many years does he want? How much is the Cubs payroll next year. They have like $100 million already on the books next year with only 13 players signed. How much more can they add? Could they take on $13 million more for only one player? But to answer your question and going along with the unknown assumptions, how about upgrading the rotation by trading for Santana?

Submitted by Chad on Fri, 10/26/2007 - 10:56 am

"not that long….1983 for the Phils and they won in 1980." 1993 you mean. Just a typo, i"m sure.

Submitted by Chad on Fri, 10/26/2007 - 10:58 am

of course they were in it in 83 and lost to the Orioles. So perhaps you just forgot about Mitch Williams and Joe Carter. HOW DARE YOU!!!!! The ex-cub factor was off the charts that day.

Submitted by Rob G. on Fri, 10/26/2007 - 10:59 am

yes we should trade for Johan, but when that doesn't happen we should TRY and acquire Schilling through free agency, which is actually remotely possible. Compared to trading for Johan which right up there in odds with any of us winning the lottery.

Submitted by The Real Neal on Fri, 10/26/2007 - 10:59 am

If the Cubs can't afford Schilling, how come they can afford Santanna (who isn't rumored to be available anyway)? In either case they would probably have to dump Jaques and/or Marquis to free up some payroll.

Submitted by Rob G. on Fri, 10/26/2007 - 10:00 am

aw crap, it wasn't.... To my defense, those were the years the Blue Jays won and they don't really count.

Submitted by Chad on Fri, 10/26/2007 - 10:02 am

""those were the years the Blue Jays won and they don’t really count." Now that sounds like something I would say.

Submitted by Rob G. on Fri, 10/26/2007 - 10:06 am

I'm just kidding around, the Skydome was actually rocking back then. Didn't they pass 4 million or something a couple of years? But honestly, that was when I was living it up at Marquette and while still interested in baseball, not nearly to the levels before and after college. I barely watched much baseball those four years, the Cubs being rather awful contributing to that.

Submitted by Rob G. on Fri, 10/26/2007 - 10:08 am

well geez, I'd take Hill over Bucholz (at least for next year) so it's really 2-2-1 and if we get Schilling than we're even better. Go Internets!

Submitted by mannytrillo on Fri, 10/26/2007 - 10:12 am

The Real Neal: If the Cubs can’t afford Schilling, how come they can afford Santanna (who isn’t rumored to be available anyway)?" Very true!!! But Schilling isn't available right now either. That is why without knowing how much the Cubs can spend and/or who is really available it is tough to talk about who the Cubs should get. "In either case they would probably have to dump Jaques and/or Marquis to free up some payroll." If they dump JJ or Marquis, they will have to eat a good chunk of those deals, so it won't be as much of salary savings as one would think.

Submitted by The Real Neal on Fri, 10/26/2007 - 10:12 am

The Cubs were competitive in '93 and '95 and worth watching two out of five days in '92. 'Morgan and Maddux, then don't ask us'. Man, that '92 offense was horrific. I always wondered if we would have been much better had we not traded for Sosa.

Submitted by mannytrillo on Fri, 10/26/2007 - 10:14 am

Rob G.: "if we get Schilling than we’re even better." And if we trade for Santana, we would be the best in baseball...:)

Submitted by crunch on Fri, 10/26/2007 - 10:14 am

what to do with marshall... even discounting the schilling thing (taking it off the table for the hell of it) the rotation is lefty-heavy with marshall being the 3rd lefty bringing up the rear. guzman's out of the picture...hart is making things "interesting". the rotation has 4 guys locked in pretty much 100% for the next 2 seasons. is guy #5 gonna be the 3rd lefty, and if not, what do you do with him? blah blah package and trade for renteria blah blah whatever...100 trade scenarios we could dream up. still...where is this team gonna spend its money? what is its money? where's the upgrade gonna come? what in the hell are they targeting for upgrade anyway? what the hell is gonna happen to the OF situation?

Submitted by Rob G. on Fri, 10/26/2007 - 10:21 am

JJ/Marshall for Renteria Sign Schilling Dempster for Crisp Resign Kerry and Prior and Ward That leaves an OF spot unless they go with Murton which I'm fine with but it does sound like they want a lefty with some pop. No idea who's really available on that end.

Submitted by The Real Neal on Fri, 10/26/2007 - 10:24 am

JJ for center field in Turner field? That's a lot of free passes on the base paths.

Submitted by Chad on Fri, 10/26/2007 - 10:26 am

"The Cubs were competitive in ‘93 and ‘95 and worth watching two out of five days in ‘92. ‘Morgan and Maddux, then don’t ask us’. Man, that ‘92 offense was horrific. I always wondered if we would have been much better had we not traded for Sosa." The shame wasn't trading for Sosa. The shame was letting Maddux walk. If Maddux heads up that team in 93, they had a pretty decent squad.

Submitted by Rob G. on Fri, 10/26/2007 - 10:29 am

just know Braves are looking for a cf'er and if they're not going to pay Andruw, they're not going to pay Torii or Rowand. Just letting my dream of dumping JJ get in the way....

Submitted by Chad on Fri, 10/26/2007 - 10:36 am

At what point does dumping become a good fit? if they are not going to pay top dollar for a CF, the JJ is a very good option for them.

Submitted by Rob G. on Fri, 10/26/2007 - 10:49 am

of course if they're smart, they'd just trade for Crisp and there's a good chance Baldelli will be available once again this offseason, likely at a more reasonable price.

Submitted by The Real Neal on Fri, 10/26/2007 - 10:51 am

"The shame wasn’t trading for Sosa. " So the '92 Cubs were better off with Sosa than they would have been with Bell? I have to respectively disagree. George Bell had 112 RBI's and Sammy only had 25. Chadworld is tinkering on the edge of oblivion! OK, maybe not so respectively.

something has to be done with pie...while the PCL #s were WAY WAY WAY outta whack this season (esp. iowa cubs, seriously...they got a dehumidifier or something there)...pie's pretty much ready for some kind of role. he looks overmatched in the bigs, but where's the ballance of what to do with his career at this point?

Submitted by The Real Neal on Fri, 10/26/2007 - 10:54 am

They should trade for Crisp and then trade for Andy Marte to make the cycle complete. I once had an argument with the BP prospect guy about who was a better prospect, Marte or McPherson, boy were we stupid (but looking at their stats, I guess I was right).

Submitted by crunch on Fri, 10/26/2007 - 10:55 am

fuld 2:2 (2 walks, single, double) vs. team china... kid's got enough scrap parts to build a baseball player it seems. hehe...

Submitted by Rob G. on Fri, 10/26/2007 - 10:57 am

FYI, A's and Rsox set to start next season in Japan. We know Billy Beane is always in a trading mood, they have an OF'er they could spare? I would guess Travis Buck or Kotsay might be available. I would guess Swisher is part of their long term plans since he got an extension last year. And I really doubt Buck is available either. Looking at ESPN.com and RF'ers with at least 100 AB's last year, I'd take Murton over anyone who might be available, unless the Dodgers really are dumb enough to trade Matt Kemp.

Submitted by The Real Neal on Fri, 10/26/2007 - 10:01 pm

McPherson. I was really arguing against the tendency of the 'experts' to rank the guys in the low minors higher than the guys in the high minors. I think Marte was coming off a huge year in high A, and McPherson was coming off a huge year in AAA at the time.

Submitted by Rob G. on Fri, 10/26/2007 - 10:06 pm

yeah I would have probably taken McPherson but I got a bit of Angels bias. I wonder if his back issuers are ever going to heal?

Submitted by The Real Neal on Fri, 10/26/2007 - 10:14 pm

It's probably a good idea to be leery of hitters on teams that use the California-Texas-PCL chain of development, though. Who's the last hitter the Angels developed, Anderson?

Submitted by Chad on Fri, 10/26/2007 - 10:23 pm

i don't know why that happened but i was trying to use a 'less than' sign. so 92 team with bell (less than) 93 team with Maddux and Sosa

Submitted by blargh on Fri, 10/26/2007 - 10:24 pm

Since the Cubs love "wily vets" *and* pitchers who spend half the year on the DL, Schill would fit right in. *blah blah package and trade for renteria blah blah whatever…100 trade scenarios we could dream up.* It would be easier for the Cubs to retaliate on Renteria for his bush-league crap from last season if he were in the clubhouse away from prying eyes and witnesses, so yeah, go get him.

Submitted by Rob G. on Fri, 10/26/2007 - 10:30 pm

Schilling's IP since 2001: 256.2 259.1 168.0 226.2 93.1 204.0 151.0 so half would be about 110 innings which he's gone over every season but one. GS since 2001: 35 35 24 32 11 31 24 of course 2005 he pitched out of the pen for awhile. I don't think he'll make all his starts but I also doubt he'll suffer a catastrophic season-ending injury. We have depth to cover any starts he misses. You know, like Prior. Really though, if we did sign Schilling and didn't trade anyone, a staff of Schilling, Z, Lilly, Hill, Marquis with Gallagher, Marshall, Hart, Holliman, maybe even Prior and Dempster all available as well.

Submitted by Rob G. on Fri, 10/26/2007 - 10:37 pm

I did forget about the Renteria clothesline. We'll have Derrek and Lilly stand him up and Fontentot can take a few cuts to make everyone feel better.

Submitted by The Real Neal on Fri, 10/26/2007 - 10:56 pm

Man that really bothers me. Not the clothesline move as much as the lack of any reprecussions whatsoever for it. The Braves released Fick for alegedly for doing something much less bush-league than that. Renteria would probably also spell Fontenot's doom on the ML roster. That would probably turn into an Ace Venture: Pet Detective 'Laces Out, Dan!' stalker story. Hide the macott... oh yeah, we don't have a mascott. Chad, I knew what you were trying to say, it just didn't make any sense. I was talking about how the Sosa trade screwed the '92 team. Not how the Maddux signing screwed the '93 through '03 teams.

Submitted by The Real Neal on Fri, 10/26/2007 - 10:04 pm

One of these days I will do a Marvel style ‘What If…’ on the Maddux signing or maybe the Palmeiro trade ‘What if Raffy didn’t bang that tramp Ryno shackled himself with?’ for TCR. Been thinking about it for a while... Lee Smith trade would be a good one too. While everyone was pimping Marmol for closer in the playoffs I just kept thinking ‘Calvin Schiraldi, Calvin Schiradli…’ (re-post 'cause I'm a re-tard)... Is it OK to call yourself a re-tard or does that get people all upset like when Woods called himself a 'Spaz'?

Submitted by Chris H on Fri, 10/26/2007 - 10:10 pm

Coco Crisp? Are you kidding me? Crisp in 2007: .268/.330/.382 Crisp in 2006: .264/.317/.385 Uh, no thank you. Don't we have enough light-hitting guys with no plate discipline on the roster already?

Submitted by mannytrillo on Fri, 10/26/2007 - 10:12 pm

The Real Neal: "Man that really bothers me. Not the clothesline move as much as the lack of any reprecussions whatsoever for it." I agree, it bothers me too. Just like when Carlos Lee leg whipped Walker and Berkman faked getting hit in the head, Dusty and the Cubs did not retaliate. I hated it!!

Submitted by Rob G. on Fri, 10/26/2007 - 10:04 pm

60 pts of OBP over your BA is pretty good. .07 BB/PA for his career, .086 last year. Cubs BB/PA last year: Lee: .109 Floyd: .109 DeRosa: .102 Murton: .100 Kendall: .095 (as a Cub) Theriot: .083 Ramirez: .077 JJ: .069 Soriano: .053 Great glove, higher upside than JJ, switch-hitter. I'd bring him in as a super-sub, fallback option to Pie. He seems to be about the level of talent you'd get for Dempster imo.

Submitted by Chad on Fri, 10/26/2007 - 10:19 pm

"Chad, I knew what you were trying to say, it just didn’t make any sense. I was talking about how the Sosa trade screwed the ‘92 team. Not how the Maddux signing screwed the ‘93 through ‘03 teams." No. What I am saying is that a the 93 team with Sosa and Maddux would have been much better than the 92 team with Bell and Maddux. That the 93 team would have had a much better chance at winning. That the 92 team with Bell, still wouldn't have been that much better.

Submitted by The Real Neal on Fri, 10/26/2007 - 10:19 pm

Anyway, a 93 team with Maddux but no Myers and Guzman isn't more than a handful of games better, certainly not 13 games better.

Submitted by Chad on Fri, 10/26/2007 - 10:24 pm

Dude, Jorge Bell on the '92 team and maybe they finish .500. but on the 93 you take Frank Castillo's 5 wins and replace them with Maddux's 20 and you get a 15 game difference. But you wouldn't know that cause you ignore pitcher's wins as a stat.

"Dusty and the Cubs did not retaliate." Not that time, but I believe that Edgar was going to get his clock cleaned the next chance anyone on the Cubs got, which is why he totally wussed out and left the game immediately after the inning was over with a big oowie. He also knew that they weren't going to play any more games with us that season, so he was a double wuss.

Submitted by crunch on Fri, 10/26/2007 - 10:53 pm

retaliation is overrated. god knows i loved dlee sitting out a week while soriano was injured because he had to go get him some. ditto for barrett while dlee was injured...that was neat. we saw some in-game pitching retaliation melt down into a loss for the retaliating team not too many weeks ago...

Submitted by mannytrillo on Fri, 10/26/2007 - 10:27 pm

crunch- I did not say retaliate with our big guns. Dusty should brought in someone out of the pen (a Farnsworth type) to send a message to CLee and Berkman. I would not have Z do it, but make sure when it is done, the other team knows why it is done. I am a firm believer in that kind of stuff.

Submitted by Pell Mell on Fri, 10/26/2007 - 10:04 pm

#65: god knows i loved dlee sitting out a week while soriano was injured because he had to go get him some. You're right, individual players should not hurt the team by letting their tempers get to them. But I wanted to cut Lee some slack at the time, and I still do, so I looked up some stats for games during Lee's suspension (7/18 - 7/22) to see what kind of a bite it took: Ward 3/5, 1BB, 2R DeRosa 0/9, 1BB, 1R Moore, 0/4 Total: 3/18, 2BB, 3R So yeah, we didn't get such great production from 1B while Lee was out. Soriano, perhaps somewhat hobbled, went 4/16, 2BB, 3R, 1 RBI over those five games. The team went 3-2, beating the Giants twice (scoring 21 runs over the 2 games) and the D'backs once (scoring 6), but losing the last 2 to said Snakes (scoring 2 runs over both games). My point? These have been the first 20 minutes I have had to myself all day, that's my point. Thanks to Baseball Reference for helping me waste them.

Chad, Way to avoid history and logic (yet again). The money saved on Maddux went to pay for four free agents, two of which were useless but two of which were Myers and Guzman. Maddux = no Myers and Guzman, oh wait, I already said that.

    I would have kept Cooper rather than Wisdom, but at least I can understand why they did it.  In a team that lacks dominant power hitters, Wisdom can be a dominant power hitter, at least in streaks.  I suppose that there is always the possibility that the streaks longer in both duration and frequency.  I will be content if they essentially make a 100 % DH commitment to Mervis against righties and Wisdom against lefties.  When a regular needs rest, give them total rest, rather than a DH rest.  Do this for at least 2 months, and then re-evaluate at that point.

    This is Cubs adjacent but…


    Jordan Walker just was optioned by the deadbirds. For all the talk of the Cardinals development machine, they’ve really missed on a lot of can’t miss superstars lately. Walker has struggled. Gorman has been okay. They’re already trying to push Carlson out the door. Their pitching system has been so bad they had to go out and sign basically a full rotation over the last two offseasons.

    They’ve still developed a few of those pesky solid players, like Donovan, Edman, and Nootbaar. Their two best prospect to MLB players have been Adolis and Arozarena, neither of which is a cardinal.

    I hope they never figure it out again. Cardinal failure brings me such joy.

    Is it just me or does it seem that official scorers are becoming less likely to call a misplay an error? 

     

    Guess I've hit my cranky old-man phase in life.  "I remember back in the day when an error was an error.  Official scorers have gone soft.  Now where did I put my readers?!!??"

     

    Sidenote, maybe Bellinger should be a little more careful against the Astros.  That was the series last year that a play at wall put him on the IL.

    i hated the almonte pickup, but he's 9-10 out of 12 for good outings, following a great spring.  hope he can keep it up.

    i already miss cooper, but yeah...the thin OF roster backup the team seems to want to carry probably got wisdom preference over cooper.  i could live without seeing wisdom at 3rd unless it's a blowout, though.

    Things I've been wrong about:

    -Tauchman is fine as a 4th OF. I knew that. I just want a better LH DH option and he was really the DH for us until Seiya got hurt. I'm glad Mervis is getting a chance at it. Caissie is coming for that job for sure. But Tauchman continues to be highly useful as a 4th OF with Seiya being hurt

    -I wanted Yency to go to get guys at Iowa a chance. Guys like Palencia and Sanders or RileyT. Maybe even Hodge! But Yency has been better the last two plus weeks. He did hit 96 the other day. He was 93 in Texas to open the season.

    -Leiter has his split working enough. It just needs to stay there

    -I was surprised Jed picked Wisdom over Cooper. I wonder if this happens if Seiya wasn't hurt. Wisdom has more power. Cooper is the better hitter. Jed picked Wisdom and Wisdom had an option left as well.

    -Palencia just doesn't miss enough bats. Similar to ManRod, just two yrs younger. ManRod is killing AAA for TB right now!

    Things I got right so far:

    -Hendricks. Sorry Kyle. You got paid though!

    Jed, you missed there.

    -Smyly. If Jed could've traded him before or during ST, then he should have and saved some cash.

    -Mastro.  Not a LH DH. Pinch runner. Defensive utility. Maybe he's better than Madrigal but didn't get a legit chance to prove it.

    -Luke Little is good. He's had one bad outing. That's it. Needs to get better entering with guys on base. But he needs to stay in MLB.

    -Oh yeah....Morel is doing fine at 3B! He'll get better as well!!

    South Bend just lost the lead in the bottom of the 9th on the weirdest scenario, ever.

    It's absolutely pouring rain....men on 1st and 2nd, 1out....JPatterson asks for a new ball, but no time out was called....he throws the old ball toward the dugout (not sure if it rolled out of play).....the ump declares the runners get two bases each so one run scores. Then a single up the middle ties the game.

    The rain was coming down in buckets at this point.
