we got him

we got him

Where are you seeing the Cubs got him?

[huff]

ok..I'll go ahead and do it:

Garza
Samardzija
Sanchez
Jackson
Haren

Delgado/Wood/Baker for depth..

OH what could have been..

[ABTY7]

Deal close- process unaffected by Sanchez; would have been at same point in negocations with EJax regardless of Sanchez signing here... Heard Jackson has reached out to former Cubs and has received largely positive feedback...

[WorldChamps1908]

Good signing..nice work Theojedsteinoyer

yeah, if they get delgado and haren i personally think they probably go with only one of sanchez or jackson at that point. They'd want to give the MLB ready prospect a chance. But yes, that would have been a much stronger rotation, and possibly would have justified getting a bat on a one year deal like Youk at 3B or maybe a Swisher type. As it is with just Jackson you still have fungible types like Wood and Baker and Feldman filling two spots.

I thought I read somewhere that the Cubs were kicking the tires on Marcum, any chance that they could go after both?

did i miss something here but arent they both signed?

[CubsRule08]

It is the possible rotation we could've had if any of the deals would have actually happened

[ABE32]

I am not going to even look at what the beat writers are saying...however I would like this signing moreso than Sanchez or any other signing/trade for pitching except for Delgado.

[ABE32]

I wouldn't mind Bret Myers on a small two year deal...spot starter and could be a back of the pen option as well.

[chicagofan71]

Marcum is pretty hell bent on going to a contender, so he's not coming here.

[cubbiefan_est88]

We are in on j.p howell as well

[jaycruz92]

saw on mlb network that if the rockies were to deal Tulo Ripken suggested Lynn+Shelby Miller (way undervalued in my opinion). I'd love for Tulo to man 3B for us and i'd be willing to pay a high price. If that trade scenario were true im sure we could offer either Shark/Garza + multiple specs most likely 2-3 pitching specs to get it done (shark being under more years of control and being a better pitcher than lynn)
