Ramp Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 rumor our of Detroit is that they have acquired Farnsworth and a PTBNL for RHP Roberto Novoa, IF Scott Moore and OF Bo Flowers another nice pickup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iowa Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 Yep thats what I heard.. I've heard that Dotel is on the Cubs wishlist now. And that gets rid of all the people who caused problems in the Cubs locker room last year.. Sosa, Alou, Farnsworth and Mercker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSwift25 Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 Dealin' Dave has made that club into a force very quickly. Of course, having Illitch's check-book helps immeasurably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CardsJimEdmonds15 Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 Cubs Trade RHP Kyle Farnsworth to Tigers for 3 Minor Leaguers CHICAGO -- The Chicago Cubs traded right-handed reliever Kyle Farnsworth and a player to be named to the Detroit Tigers on Wednesday for pitcher Roberto Novoa and two minor leaguers. Farnsworth was 4-5 with a 4.73 ERA last season for Chicago. He struck out 78 batters in 66 2/3 innings. "Kyle Farnsworth is an established major league relief pitcher," Tigers president Dave Dombrowski said in a statement. "He can pitch in many roles out of our bullpen and is a quality addition to our pitching staff." [More in URL] - I dont get this trade for the Cubs.. Farnsworth has always had the talent but never has arrived (Kinda like Drew).. I think Farnsworth could perhaps shine now.. The thing is.. This cant be the end of the thing.. But all these prospects they are getting this off-season.. Will probably be shipped in a trade for a closer.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iowa Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 I don't know.. Farnsworth is one streaky dude. He needs to not rely on the slider and use the nasty fastball all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fitness Celebrity John Bas Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 dont forget Jamie Walker..... Al Levine is pretty good too 681218[/snapback] I'm pretty sure Al Levine wasn't resigned...Jamie Walker is not bad, but now they got Fernando Rodney back from injury, and he is supposed to be a stud. And I would take the Twins bullpen over the Tigers, but that pen in Detroit is damn good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
