2010-11 Cubs Offseason: I, For One, Welcome Our New .196-Hitting Overlord

[Quality Start Machine]

Among Chicago's managers and GMs, no one is more respected than Guillen

1) Ozzie Guillen
2) Jim Hendry, Ken Williams
3) Mike Quade.

That's one hell of a list there, Phil.

Tallest Oleg syndrome.

I call bullshit. Quade has to be most respected, if only because he hasn't been around long enough to do anything really stupid yet.

When My Kwaddy has a World Series contender, you can bet your ass the Series won't get cancelled out from under him.

Well, he'll cost money and a draft pick now

Wait, I'm confused, he wasn't going to cost money before?

Correct

[Canadouche]

It's the Cubs.  It's not like they're gonna use that draft pick for anything valuable anyway.

The Cubs are apparently showing some interest in Brandon Webb

So the Cubs are going after a guy who hasn't pitched in two years and is coming off a shoulder injury? This team will be lucky to get an inning for every million dollars they pay him.

They should put him in center.

I undersand that the Rangers have a thirty year old guy named Prior in their minor league system.

Of course they are. It's right out of Hendry's guide to finding pitching handbook.

Well they better get someone to replace Rothschild as he's consistently pumped out some damn good pitching staffs (stat-wise) and some nice rotations.

I wouldn't hate a Brandon Webb signing as long as it's not a five year, $155 MM no trade clause type thing.

Also, the Carlos Pena talk...I don't hate it.

Do you like Pena if it's a 3 year deal and prevents the Cubs from bidding on Adrian Gonzalez?
