royoung Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 QUOTE (TheCut87 @ Jul 27, 2012 -> 03:05 PM) I was talking about taking a chance on him before the trade deadline ends i think if he is dealt it will be before the tuesday not during waiver period...if it is just fluid build up and the MRI was good to go, would KW trade for him now hoping this issue goes away in a week or two now knowing that he can get him possibly cheaper That's a good idea. Worth looking into, but I doubt Theo will let him go for cheap considering he can just wait until the off-season. Also, probably bad PR to get trade raped by the opposing Chicago team at your first deadline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubba Philips Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jul 27, 2012 -> 04:07 PM) Zambrano has not been good of late but I figure we can Zambrano proof our dugout allow Z to pinch hit on occasion and let Coop fix him. I still think he could make some strong starts. I read that the marlins need a catcher. Perhaps with Aj calling his games he may settle down. Nothing would make me happier than to see an ex cub do well here or anywhere for that matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am honestly surprised we weren't #2 on his list after the Dodgers. He gets to stay in the city, doesn't have to move, and goes to a 1st place team. I'm not sure if he really dislikes the Sox, or if he just really prefers to stay in the National League, but either way, it's only 2+ months out of his life he has to be here, you'd think for 8-12 weeks he would just suck it up.

We've never done this, that I can remember. Sanchez isn't needed, they'll move Bonifacio to 2B supposedly. Santiago and Reed still aren't going to be enough of a return for a pitcher like Johnson, even if you consider the roughly $20 million they're saving on Heath Bell. Maybe if at least half that money was coming from the Marlins for Bell...but then we'd have to kick in much better players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoodAsGould Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 I think the prices for Johnson/Shields are too high for the production they are going to give and because of that I can see KW not adding a SP b4 the deadline unless the Cubs almost give away Dempster similar to our other 2 trades barring the ptbnl is any good in Myers trade.

Also I would like to add depth to our bench. Volquez is not available, supposedly. It's a bit of overkill to acquire League or Street when we already have Reed, Myers and Crain. Not to mention the fact that it looks like Street might stay put. Vargas is a possibility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be a non-starter, might actually be an AJ or Everett situation where he fits in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, I'd rather take my chances with Humber than give up anything for Vargas. His road/home splits are pretty extreme and I don't think making half his starts at the Cell would do him any favors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His road/home splits are pretty extreme and I don't think making half his starts at the Cell would do him any favors Away from Safeco, Vargas is brutal. .806 OPS against, 19 HR allowed. If they got him for nothing, that would be one thing, but to give up anything that might be decent someday for him would be a mistake IMO.

It seems like the Dodgers are set on not giving up anything significant for Dempster since the Atlanta thing blew up in the Cubs face. I think KW could outbid them without giving up too much at all. Plus it's only for a few months, and it's to a team in the hunt. Dempster wouldn't have to move his family either. He might look at this as testing the American League. Makes too much sense.

Bell has had a nightmare season but just a year ago he was damn good. Sox could have a lot of money coming off the books. And Johnson comes with his own risks as well. Obviously Sanchez is for future considerations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His road/home splits are pretty extreme and I don't think making half his starts at the Cell would do him any favors All Vargas would have to do is not be a headcase for about 10-15 more starts, whatever it is that is left out of that spot. If Humber sucks today then it's Battle Axe time anyway. Major league arm or not, at least he's not on Queer St. mentally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
