Submitted by Cubnut on

The sickening details are here.

Can't imagine Peavy waving ntc to go to Sox where the ball flies out easier then Wrigley and to team that will not be able to build around him because they are slashing pay roll. That said as long as he does not end up on the Brewers..

i'd really like to see fontenot moved back to 2nd. no, i don't think him playing 3rd is causing his bat to slump or blah blah blah...however, i do think he's an adequate 2nd baseman who plays an inadequate 3rd base. miles/scales/freel/fontenot pretty much have to play 2nd or 3rd...scales isn't very good anywhere and freel wasn't much of a 2nd baseman even in his "prime." miles plays a better 3rd, imo. miles is the most fluid at 2nd, but i'd still rather have fontenot at 2nd when they both play. and yes, i still like fontenot's bat and think he can pull full time duty in the bigs.

Given the remarkable affection that Cub fans have for many veteran Cubs, and how much they hate to see them traded, it's not surprising . . . that the Cubs haven't been to a world series in over sixty years. Wait, that wasn't what I meant to say. Given the remarkable affection that Cub fans have for many veteran Cubs, and how much they hate to see them traded, it's not surprising that Hendry didn't trade Derrek Lee last winter or the winter before. But Lee is not only keeping Hoffpauir on the bench, he's keeping Jake Fox in Iowa. One little cherry-picked data point. The Cubs are trying to score a few runs on the road this week. In away games this year, Lee has no home runs and two doubles. Thirteen of Fox's seventeen homers have come on the road. He also has ten doubles and a triple away from home.

Well, fuck. It figures Kenny Williams would pull something like this off. I still think Peavy would have been sweet to have, and I still think a true ace like Halladay would both stud-ify the rotation and shore up the pen a bit, but I agree that our needs now are relief pitching and a bat (or better production from the bats we have). The same fucking needs we have every year. At least it's not the Brewers or the Cardinals.

... trading Peavy and keeping Gonzalez is like "splitting the baby", that they might not win 170 games over the life of the Peavy contract without him. Not that they are in a good position to do so, but if Peavy left, I'd love for the Cubs to go balls out after Gonzalez.

You know, in my opinion, it's really rude for the Sox & Padres organizations to make this thing so public. Now everyone is waiting on Peavy and everyone knows if the deal doesn't go through it will be his "fault". It's not very professional, imo.

Uh, no. Baseball's version of Favre was Roger Clemens, holding the entire MLB hostage over whether he'd decide to sign with someone in, you know, June or July. Thank God that's over with. Peavy signed a contract that he shouldn't have two years ago with assurances from the Padres' higher ups that they were going to be competitive. Instead, they decided to rebuild and he's been pretty calm and collected throughout despite being in an obviously bad situation. The whole Cubs fiasco in the offseason wasn't his fault, in my eyes -- he didn't break the story and I think he reacted genuinely when he thought a deal was in place. And it Zell/Kenney or Towers who killed the deal, not Peavy.

    25 games played with a -85 run differential.  insane.

    White Sox DFA Bailey Horn. I'm thinking the Cubs would love to get him back although they probably won't have a decent chance of claiming him without another swap.

    WSox also call up former Cub Rafael Ortega (and additionally Tommy Pham). They are hurting and having a gawd awful April.

    White Sox DFA'd Bailey Horn.

    He wasn't producing good results in Charlotte (AAA).

    But Jed might bring him back with that open 40man spot. Then try the "sneak him thru waivers" gambit.

    Oh my, now I will have nightmares of me sitting in the bowels of the Wrigley security detention cell.

    One more thing...

    One of the reasons I come to this site...

     ...in addition to Arizona Phil, who is, as we all know, a treasure trove of well-written fresh information, honest evaluation, and sneaky-subtle humor regarding the entire Cub organization...

    ... is CubbyBlue and Tim's fantastic and timely visual takes on the Cubs (to be fair, he does have a much broader Chicago-flavored brush well beyond the Cubs).  Thanks for so many memorable images.  I am fortunate to own (one of my prize possessions) a print that I framed (55/200) of "The Last Out" with KB's shit-eating grin as he fields the series winning out of the 2016 WS.

    Tim, will you visit me if I do the text security thingy and description: Tim S? Or will I find myself in a Cub detention cell.

    i.e. "or send a text message to 773-839-**** with the keyword "Friendly" and include your seat location and a description of your issue.

    Incredible moment. Huge part of the fun of working there is when something magic like that happens, and you get to interact with baseball fans. 

  • TarzanJoeWallis (view)

    That bear hug was indeed awesome. Word is that Dansby has become an outstanding clubhouse leader and that moment really demonstrated it. That reaction was one of a proud coach/mentor who’s student just excelled. I’m not even sure who was more overjoyed, Dansby or PCA. A veteran expressing that kind of unabashed support and enthusiasm for a struggling rookie is beyond fantastic to see.

    BAHAHA! I've actually not seen a single fight, but can't wait to see 70 degrees for sure!

  • crunch (view)

    next time i roll up into wrigley i'll try to start a fist fight and maybe we'll meet.

    be prepared.  i'm gonna make you earn your money.

    seriously, though...that's a cool as hell "retirement" assignment.  i imagine it will be better with warmer nights.
