Oh, I don't think he is and better than teh Hoff. There are probably at least a dozen guys they could have gotten for no money who are as good as Pena. I think my point still stands, though. -
the question is does your point justify 10 million clams for him? I don't think so. At this point I'd rather they start an unknown for nothing and save money for the future than pay 10 mil to Pena.Originally posted by Clark Addison View PostDio perdona tante cose per un’opera di misericordia

And this is why the Cubs are the Cubs. Develop that player and then pay him the big $$ when he matures.Originally posted by pellegrino View Post"The first thing I learned upon becoming a head coach after fifteen years as an assistant was the enormous difference between making a suggestion and making a decision."

It is. Who would be considered the best homegrown Cub in the last 5 years? I bet I can name at least 2 off of every other team in the majors.Originally posted by pellegrino View Post you make it sound so simple!"The first thing I learned upon becoming a head coach after fifteen years as an assistant was the enormous difference between making a suggestion and making a decision."

the irony is that a decade ago the consensus was that the Cubs had the best farm system in the league.Originally posted by Jarid in Cedar View PostDio perdona tante cose per un’opera di misericordia

NopeOriginally posted by pellegrino View Post
in their partial defense (kind of) most of those young guys didn't work out, so they wouldn't have helped the Cubs even if they hadn't given them away in bad trades. Patterson, Choi, Bobby Hill, Prior, that chubby pitcher they traded to the Brewers whose name started with Q, Brooks K. Did any prospects from the Cubs' systems of that era do well? Was Jon Garland the best? I'm sure I am missing someone.Originally posted by pellegrino View Post
ETA: Ruben Quevedo. That's who I was thinking of when I referenced the chubby pitcher. I kept wanting to call him QuezadaLast edited by Clark Addison; 12-09-2010, 05:46 AM.Comment

Kerry Wood returns to the fold:

Obviously, he probably won't have a huge impact on the Cubs' fortunes next year, but I will always think of him fondly, if bittersweetly.Comment

Wow. Didn't think that would happen. I'm excited to have him back, he was always one of my favorites. Except that nasty goatee he had for years, but he appears to have shed that (unless that was simply to appease the Yankees, and he decides to grow it back now as a Cub).
Hooray for Kid K!Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

Don't forget felix pie.
Honestly the best player to come from the cubs farm system in the past 5 years was THE RIOT. Castro looks to be pretty good and marmol been a solid pitcher

While it's not as exciting as the return of Maddux was, Kid K will be good to have. I like it.
Did yall see that Riggins was promoted to pitching coach? I don't know what to think about it.Dio perdona tante cose per un’opera di misericordia

And we traded arguably our best prospect pitcher to get him. And Sam Fuld. (okay, I don't care about Fuld).Originally posted by Mormon Red Death View PostAin't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

Garza would be a great pickup. I think he'll be one of the 20 best starters in baseball over the next few years.Originally posted by Mormon Red Death View Post"In conclusion, let me give a shout-out to dirty sex. What a great thing it is" - Northwestcoug
