October 7, 200421 yr Allow to use this thread to express my joy in seeing the cursed Cubs once again not going anywhere except to Rush Street. 585519[/snapback] :lol :thumbup We'd give Sammy a chance because that's what we did with this closer who blew saves and was on the downslope of his career too, Armando Benitez. Plus he is freakin Sammy Sosa. He'd sell twice as many jerseys as Pudge alone. Its a huge PR move, but you're right, the cubbies would have to be desperate to get rid of him for it to happen. 585563[/snapback] Mando isn't on the downslope of his career...
October 7, 200421 yr Id rather not get him his numbers are declining hardcore 585361[/snapback] he still puts up better #'s than conine. 585368[/snapback] if you consider better number to be more HR's. :confused Conine will be more valuable next year than raffy. 585447[/snapback] and higher OBP and OPS too. and mor rbi's. 585450[/snapback] It's a lot easier to get more Rbi's and HR's in the yard than PPS.
October 7, 200421 yr Even then, why would we want to be paying 8-9 million for a player on the downslope of his career, who has been caugt corking his bat, thus is known as a cheater? 585516[/snapback] Four 60 home run seasons? 500+ career homeruns? Sure-fire Hall of Famer? One of baseball's top 5 icons? That's called TICKET SALES. 585586[/snapback] Let's not turn the Marlins into the travelling freak show circus known as the Devil Rays. Let's build a winner. Thanks.
October 8, 200421 yr I'd say get him to be our everyday 1st baseman, put Conine in left and Cabrera back in right.? We need lefty-balance, and since I think it's safe to say we've already taken ourselves out of the Beltran/Drew/Delgado sweepstakes, he may be the best we're going to get. HOWEVER, I am much more intrigued by the prospect of trading for Sosa.? I mean, both are in decline, both are sure fire hall of famers, but Sosa is a much bigger draw. 585395[/snapback] sorry if i'm being ignorant here, but how the heck would we afford Sosa? :mischief2 585429[/snapback] Cubs very interested in dumping him. The buyers basically set the price on him because he has to go.
