Just what the hell did Lofton do to get apparently blacklisted? Without looking up the numbers, I thought he was decent last year. Given that, there's not ONE team in MLB willing to give him a look? Milton "Scrabblebrains" Bradley gets work and not Lofton? I'm missing something... :?


Kenny Lofton is still playing baseball? I thought I had him in a dead pool somewhere.....

Probably somewhere with Ricky Henderson. "Hey, you remind me of this kid with the Indians that I played against..."

Hill to me is the wild card in the rotation


:lol:

Has there been any word on Hill's progress lately? Or is he pretty much done, atleast in a Cubs uniform?


Pinella was quoted saying that he would be shutdown, so I assume its for the year. Hill is in his doghouse.

I don't think they have a pressing need in the rotation. They have a top 3 that will get somewhere around 50-55 wins between the 3 (I'm pencilling in Zambrano for 19, Lilly for 15 and Hill for 16). Between Lieber, Dempster, Marquis, Marshall they can squeeze another 20-25. If (and a big if) Dempster can return to his Florida days, pre arm surgery, you are looking at a top 4 that can compete with any team in the league.

I don't know if this should be broken down piece by piece or just given a general "No".


Didn't Mac serve under General No?

Who foresaw Hill blowing up like that? Wow. But their top 3 now have a total of 35 with another 8 weeks left. 50-55 is not out of the realm of possibilities (Zambrano/Dempster/Lilly). Throw in Harden with Marquis and they will be close to that 20 number for the 4/5.

Hey gooddolphin, am I crazy now?

Yeah, there was no way to predict what happened to Hill. Initially it was suggested that it was mental, then an injury. Now he is in a black hole. It is really unfortunate because I had high hopes for him this year. Maybe he get some growth hormone and become the next Rick Ankiel?
