Jordan4life_2007 Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 QUOTE (G&T @ Sep 30, 2009 -> 08:34 PM) Ricky Nolasco with a 16 K night. Another brilliant move there. Fanned 9 straight at one point. It's games like these I'm glad I subscribed to MLB.TV. Nolasco and Josh Johnson are f***in' spectacular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Sep 30, 2009 -> 06:27 PM) We scapegoated him as a cover up for the real reason we traded him, which was because we wanted (and/or needed) to dump salary, so I think it's a little different. That, and we have nowhere near the resume of demonizing guys to look good in our fanbase and then trading them at lowest value that the Cubs do. The Sox have flat out said that his salary was a big reason he was dealt... Remember they said it was his money that signed Viciedo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 The Cubs fired their second hitting coach of the year. Obviously Derek Lee hasn't visited Sox talk because he would know a good hitting coach can increase your average 60 points and a good hitting coach can make Paul Konerko stop grounding into any DPs. "I hate to say it, but a hitting coach is overrated," Derrek Lee said. "It's more of a mental thing. Gerald was a great guy. He always had positive things to say -- and same with Von. They're always in your corner. But the bottom line is the best hitting coach is yourself. No one knows your swing like yourself. ... None of the blame should go to either of those two."

HuskyCaucasian Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Cubs Close On Milton Bradley Trade? The Cubs are close on trade with a "surprise AL team" for Milton Bradley, tweets Gordon Wittenmyer of the Chicago Sun-Times. He says the deal could happen tonight. We know the Royals aren't in on Bradley, and the Rangers or Rays wouldn't be a surprise. So let's hear your guesses. On the other hand, we talked to someone familiar with the situation who said there's "nothing new" on Bradley. Early this morning, the Chicago Tribune's Paul Sullivan had this to say: Sources outside the organization insist the best bet remains a deal with the Rays involving Pat Burrell, whom the Cubs would try to deal elsewhere, possibly to the Blue Jays for prospects.

nitetrain8601 Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 I'd be shocked if they are close. If they are able to dump him, the team will not remain anonymous for long. Watch it be the Red Sox, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxFan562004 Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Heard on ESPN 1000 today that despite all the Bradley rumors at the winter meetings the Cubs weren't really close to trading him and, surprise surprise, they're having a difficult time!

G&T Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 The Red Sox had to pay $9M out of $12M to move Lowell, and the Cubs expect to move Bradley and get an actual return without paying most of it. We'll see how that goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Controlled Chaos Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Jen Patterson just posted on FB that Bradley is going to the Mariners. Why would anyone trade for this guy.
