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

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.

Dealin' Dave has made that club into a force very quickly.

 

Of course, having Illitch's check-book helps immeasurably.

well that and the Lockout

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."

- 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..

Farnsworth-Percival. Probably the strongest 1-2 out of the pen in the ML.

jeez that is nasty

Is Urbina going to be witht the club? I thought he was in Venezuela because of the situation with his mother.

dont forget Jamie Walker.....

 

Al Levine is pretty good too

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.

Going from Wrigley and the NL Central to Comerica and the AL Central should help some too.

He has already said that he wil be with the club at the beginning of spring training...the kidnappers are asking for 3 million for his mother...

BTW, its thought that the Cubs are looking to get Octavio Dotel.

Gordon, Rivera :whistle Rincon; Nathan :whistle Donnelly Krod :whistle ; Guardado Soriano; :whistle Otsuka Hoffman :whistle

 

Not even close to best in

ML, not even close

3 > 2

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.

Gordon-Rivera?

Rincon-Nathan?

 

There are better bullpens in the MLB, but Detroit shouldn't have to worry about protecting many leads this year.

Comerica Park does some great things for pitchers. :whistle

If Tigers fans remember Matt Anderson, they know EXACTLY what they are getting.

 

Million dollar arm and a ten cent brain.

I'm not giving him up.

 

oh wait, wrong site.....

having guys like him and mags sign with the tigers is like the best guaranteed way that they won't hurt us this season. they might as well be going to the japanese league.
