The latest rumor with steam is a rumor involving packages where the Dodgers get Uggla and the Marlins get Chad Billingsley as the primary pieces in the deal.So we need pitching but theres a rumor that were giving away one of our best pitchers? Who started this rumor, a Giants fan?
You know if the SF Giants want to trade Lincicum after that embarssing pot bust, I think Omar would be willing to send him Pelfrey,Perez,Maine, and his new Mercedes in return.
Marlins getting Heath Bell and Adrian Gonzalez for Uggla and prospects would be a steal, considering VandenHurk has been a prospect for 3 years now.. The Marlins love former Mets prospects i guess (Bell)..
Maybe if the Marlins throw in Bert Blylevyn, the Padres would think about it, considering the only time VandenHurk ever pitched decent was in the WBC with Bert as his pitching coach...
Putting Gonzalez and Bell on the Marlins would make the Fish a very good team, if they can get 1 more good starter, i am not sold on Voldstad and the Marlins have health issuses with Sanchez..
LOL. Well, we got 2 lefties from the Red Sox that will compete in our bullpen. That makes Renyel Pinto expendable. You want your Cubs to give us another prospect for him so you can have the lovely trio of "Ford" Pinto, GREGG!!!, and the oldest prospect in MLB history? Heilman and Gregg aren't coming back.
Gregg's a free agent anyway....and Marmol is pretty much locked up the closer's role, so negotiating with him would be moot.
Heilman doesn't belong on a major league roster.
But even so...the Cubs have way bigger problems than their pitching. Age and lack of offensive production top the list.
Hey Hype have you actually heard the Marlins are talking to the Twins about Dan Uggla? As a Twins fan I would welcome him with open arms, anything that cuts down on Nick Punto's playing time is a good thing. I'm trying to think of where they would hit him, if they resign Cabrera the line-up would be 1. Denard Span 2. Orlando Cabrera 3. Joe Mauer 4. Justin Morneau 5. Michael Cuddyer 6. Jason Kubel well I guess that means he would probably hit 7th. Works for me.
If you have heard they are talking to the Twins who are the players going to the Marlins in return?
The latest rumor with steam is a rumor involving packages where the Dodgers get Uggla and the Marlins get Chad Billingsley as the primary pieces in the deal. PH, thanks for keeping me updated on the fish. I'm so caught up with the Noles, Dolphins, and Magic I haven't focused on the MLB offseason. I wasn't too surprised to see we moved Hermida yesterday. I like the outfield with Chris Coughlan, Cameron Maybin, and Cody Ross. I would love to pick up Heath Bell, and Adrian Gonzalez. I hope we are really making a move for those guys. Thanks again PH
