2012 Winter Meetings Rumors & Discussion (12/2 - 12/6)

Cubs lose Burgess.

[Marlin Bystro]

You don't want to get into a sucking contest with the Astros. You won't come out on top.

I think it is a reachable goal.

[DavidH]

I think it is a reachable goal.

Maybe if we were to run out our 2012 post trade deadline rotation all year.

Matt Cerda to the Cards

[1972 Cubs]

Rondon looks like a solid pick. Good minor league numbers until he was hurt I'd guess? I like it.

Which of his 10 innings pitched the past 2 seasons makes it look like a solid pick ?

[steelSKINSNCUBS]

Wow. I dont understand how some of theses teams are taking our players and thinking they will last on an mlb team. Peralta has bad command. Burgess is a platoon player in the minors that k's alot. Cerda i believe is just overmatched at the mlb level.

It's the Rule V draft. You don't find Bryce Harpers in this thing. Relax, champ.

For the Rule V, yes, it's solid.

Most of these guys get returned. They pick them as a "just in case".

[steelSKINSNCUBS]

Yeah. I think most of our players will be returned. But i just saw that burgess was a minors pick. He probably will not.

[1908_Cubs]

Yeah. I think most of our players will be returned. But i just saw that burgess was a minors pick. He probably will not.

Yeah he probably wont be. But honestly...whatever. He's a non prospect anyways.

For the Rule V, yes, it's solid.

Rule 5

[KyleJRM]

Cerda was selected in the AAA portion. He goes to the Cardinals with no roster restrictions. He's their's and can't be returned.

[C-ross12]

Former top prospect, good k/9, good looking throwing sessions lately. This isn't a Fantasy draft where you're going to get an awesome top player without flaws. Itst he rule 5 draft.

[1908_Cubs]

Rule 5

V = Roman Numeral for the number 5.

[socherball]

All those players picked from us were in the minor league portion of the Rule V. They don't have to be on the picking team's ML roster.
