SwinginSoriano Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 I wouldn't be too surprised, Clint Hurdle never likes giving him any playing time. Though when he got his starting job he somehow gave it up to Jamey Carrol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cubsfaninfla Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 Important stuff in bold. Tigers signed outfielder Timo Perez to a minor league contract and invited him to spring training. Timo and Neifi on the same team? The really amazing thing is that neither would be the worst hitter on the roster, what with Ramon Santiago already locked into a spot. Timo, though, shouldn't have any chance of winning a job out of spring training. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tejdog1 Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 Timo's a good little player, 4th OF type. Just don't have him on first, when you know, a ball is hit to deep left, in a corner. He doesn't run well then. *mutters to himself and stomps away* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cubsfaninfla Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 Also, I don't know if this has been discussed, but the Cubs outfield situation will probably be: LF Murton CF Jones RF Soriano compared to another roster which has Pie in center. Also, the Cubs will likely send Ronny Cedeno to AAA so he can start at SS. Ryan Theriot's 2nd position should probably be changed to UTIL, as there has been some talk of trying him in the outfield.

ChicagoCubs720 Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 So what would you like the Cubs 25-man roster to look like in the next release? Lineups? Rotation? Bullpen? I don't even think Jim Hendry has any idea exactly what the Cubs outfield will look like. I'd work on other teams for now until there is some kind of trade or signing, or announcement by the club to tell what things will look like. But for now, I agree with cubsfaninfla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybernetic Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 Just a Jays note as far as the rotation it would seem that according to a recent report that they've exhausted all trade avenues and the remaining free agents don't fit the bill or aren't interested. So they have failed to acquire a #3 starter and the rotation will be: 1. Halladay 2. Burnett 3. Chacin 4-5 Marcum/Janssen/McGowan/Towers fighting for them. Most likely Marcum wins a spot because of his solid half season in the rotation last year and Janssen or McGowan taking the 5th spot, and hopefully Towers getting released. I think Janssen actually gets the edge for the rotation at this point since he had success as a starter last season at the MLB level. But because McGowan has to be carried on the MLB roster they may have to give it to him and send Janssen to AAA to start the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebeav Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 I don't have a link for confirmation, but the plan for the Cubs outfield as of right now is: LF Murton CF Soriano RF Jones Jones has asked to be traded, so that will probably change. I guess he can't stand to play for a real manager and not the joke that was Dusty Baker. If/When Jones is traded, Soriano will move to RF. It looks like they will then give Pie the chance to win the CF job in Spring Training. They are also one of the finalists to sign Cliff Floyd. If they do, LF will be a platoon between him and Murton. As it is the lineup should be: vs. RHP CF Soriano 2B DeRosa 1B Lee 3B Ramirez RF Jones C Barrett LF Murton SS Izturis vs. LHP CF Soriano 2B DeRosa 1B Lee 3B Ramirez C Barrett LF Murton RF Jones SS Izturiz Bench: Blanco, Ward, Theriot, Pagan I'm not sure about the last spot. Right now I would say Cedeno. Rotation: SP Zambrano SP Prior SP Lilly SP Marquis SP Hill LR Miller MR Wuertz MR Dempster MR Cotts SU Eyre SU Howry CL Wood Obviously, I'm guessing a little on the pitching. I expect Wood to win the closer job over Dempster. Either way, the one who doesn't win it will most likely be in middle relief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybernetic Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 Randy Johnson and the Diamondbacks will officially come to terms Sunday on a contract extension for 2008, says Newsday. Newsday maintains that the deal was essentially agreed to before the trade was done Thursday. Johnson is expected to get a one-year extension worth about $10 million. He'll then take his physical Monday, leaving the trade with the Yankees to be announced on Tuesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In an effort to improve his fielding, Jack Wilson has lost 12 pounds and, more important in his eyes, strengthened his ankles and calves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebeav Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 What about Glendon Rusch? Isn't he supposed to be a LRP on the Cubs 25-man roster? Rusch had a blood clot in his lung. He probably won't be ready for the start of the season. With Cotts there now, I don't think he'll make the 25-man roster anyway. He had a pretty bad season last year. That last spot is pretty open. It could be Rusch (if healthy), Novoa, or Wuertz. I went with Wuertz because he pitched great last year. 2.66 ERA in 40 2/3 IP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybernetic Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 The Rockies have reportedly sold Luis Gonzalez's contract to the Yomiuri Giants of Japan. We'd still like to see some major league team claim him off waivers when the Rockies try to pass him through, but it probably won't happen. Instead, Rockies ownership will get some more money that won't be spent improving the quality of the product on the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
