Posted August 30, 200519 yr Cubs trade Hollandsworth to Braves for a couple minor leaguers. All I know right now. :lol
August 30, 200519 yr Maybe the Cubs will actually call up and play Murton now. He SHOULD play in left for them everyday.
August 30, 200519 yr Too bad this didn't happen a few days ago. :plain 921419[/snapback] I was thinking the same thing when I heard about it. I wonder if his success will continue in the 6 out of 9 games we have against Atlanta to finish the season.
August 30, 200519 yr Author Receive: OF Todd Hollandsworth Receives: P Todd Blackford P Angelo Burrows Hollandsworth traded to the Braves; Minor Leaguers Blackford, Burrows given in exchange CHICAGO -- The Chicago Cubs today traded Todd Hollandsworth to the Atlanta Braves in exchange for Minor League pitchers Todd Blackford and Angelo Burrows.
August 30, 200519 yr outstanding pickup by the Braves 921476[/snapback] :lol Your quite the jokester Ramp!! Or do you mean that in the way that it's good they picked up a veteran that can't hit, run, or field?
August 30, 200519 yr outstanding pickup by the Braves 921476[/snapback] Just a simple question: why? He won't upgrade Francoeur or Johnson or Jones in the outfield. He isn't a better pinch hitting option than Langerhans or Betemit or LaRoche. To me, this is simply a depth move, but I don't view it as "outstanding."
August 30, 200519 yr I think they did it for a vet presence down the stretch... the only position players they have above 30 are Chipper, Julio Franco, Perez (DL.. probably done for year), Brian Jordan (DL.. probably done for year)
August 30, 200519 yr Being a part-time Cub fan, except for when they play us, I can tell you that Hollandsworth is doing pretty much awful. In fact, the baserunning play against us was probably his only good play in a month play.
August 31, 200519 yr why my Cubs help the teams I hate....Lawton to the Yanks Hollandsworth to the Braves...this is why the Marlins are above them in my book.

August 31, 200519 yr He was part of why we won it all in 03 923485[/snapback] Yeah cuz we had to bring up miggy cuz he was doing terrible. So yeah, i'll always have a soft spot in my heart for holly.
