The yanks are talking about dumping Chien Ming Wang. I'd take a chance on that guy.

I hope you mean to do your taxes or something and not pitching for the Cubs.

He meant he'd date him, if Chien was interested. I don't think he likes fat guys, though.

But Wang won like 19 games a couple years back! Gotta get that guy! He's a winner!

[Andy]

He broke his foot Mike Brown style a couple of years ago running from second to third in a game in Houston. 

I have nothing else to add.

He won 19 games in 2006 and 2007 with eras of 3.63 and 3.70. Not exactly Jason Marquis.
But you're probably right, Jeff Samardzija is a much better option.

Those numbers are definitely consistent for a guy with a K/BB of 1.6.  Especially with the Cub defense behind him.

I don't think there's a reasonable scenario in which Samardzija is in the rotation next year, is there?

IS THERE!?

Stop being such a downer, Kerm. Just let BH play with his Jeff Samardzija Strawman Doll in peace. He spent hours sewing those miniature bib overalls.

Intrepid Reader David Kaplan: He won 19.  He's better than Zambrano.

Well, shit. That article is as depressing as the area of Indiana that published it.

Intrepid Reader: Bob Griese

Well, how hard could it be to pitch to a bunch of guys with greasy taco hands?

More crazy rumor guy. And Oleg's girl.

"The Blue Jays want to move Roy Halladay this offseason and have contacted the Cubs about a potential trade, according to MLB.com's Carrie Muskat. However, it's unlcear if the Cubs have room for another $15.75MM in payroll. Plus, they'd have to be willing to part with top prospects, such as shortstop Starlin Castro, to obtain the Jays' ace."
