The 2010 Cubs Free Agent and Roster Moves Thread: SAVEENG OUR KUBBEEZ!!11

[Ghost of Dave Rosello]

Why wait until 2010 to fix this shit?  It'd only take one move to right the ship.

DFA Aaron Miles

If they canned him and played the rest of the year with 24 guys they'd get just as much production out of that empty roster spot.

[Saul Goodman]

I'd be willing to take one for the team and provide Aaron Miles' production for absolutely no salary.  You're welcome, Jim.

You could triple his production.  Miles only sees one pitcher per at bat.  You'd see at least three.

Since Theriot is the root of all that is wrong with this team, replacing him with a guy who's been sent to the minors by a third-place team is BRILLIANT!!!

Are you related to Theriot?

This.

Hardy has struggled this year, but he put up an OPS above .800 over the course of 1,300 plate appearances in 2007 and 2008 in his age 24 and 25 seasons (including 50 homers during those two years; it could take Theriot 15 seasons to hit 50 homers).  He's three years younger than Theriot.  He can actually field and throw like a real major-league shortstop.  Hardy is much better at baseball than Theriot and it's not close.

Holy crap, I need a new shtick.

Theriot has heart. You can't put a price on that. Plus, he was the starting shortstop for two NL Central championships. That's two plus priceless. How many starting gigs on an NL Central championship baseball club has J.J. Hardy had? Add those up, Poindexter.


Zero.

JJ Hardy: 11 HR, 45 RBIs in 102 games.

Nice choice, Hendry.

Not sure if you saw this but Milt had three more walks today. FUCK HIM.

Yeah, but think, he could have hit three home runs if he would have just swung the bat.

[Dave B]

It's a good thing he can still draw those walks, becasue he's on his way to career-lows in about every other offensive category at this point. And that OBP is about as high as his slugging percentage.

[Eli]

And that OBP is about as high as his slugging percentage.

Since June 1, Milton's OBP is higher than his slugging.  Of course, his OBP is .425 during that stretch. 

If you put together an entire team of guys like that, with .425 OBPs and .400 SLG percentages, it would score far more runs than any other team in baseball.  I have no idea why you're still bitching about this.

[Kermit, B.]

It's a good thing he can still draw those walks, becasue he's on his way to career-lows in about every other offensive category at this point. And that OBP is about as high as his slugging percentage.

Ryan Theriot's OBP last year was .387, and his slugging was .359.
