Who would be a worse GM? cpguy or Hendry.

Light'em Up!

I disagree. When you can get one of the top 3 bats in all of baseball, you do it.

My point exactly, well said.

Thank you.

Imagine being stuck with all 4 of those guys at a table talking Cubs. The end of the world couldnt come fast enough.

He'd be a great GM. When he signs Prince Fielder to a 5-year $18 million/year deal he would be a hero. Only a great salesman such as himself would give $7-$10 million less than Prince will be asking for.

Id sign Prince 3 years/10 M per.

Id also trade Jeff Baker and Hayden Simpson for Roy Halladay and Chase Utley.



Sadly, even if those were possible....they'd still be a handful of players away.

Hey now!

Prince will have a limited market, but the Angels will probably end up with him for 6 yrs, 120M or so. Ricketts will chirp about "going young", etc. and we'll be stuck will Lyle Overbay for 1 yr at 2.5M.

wait, after all the "go young" talk, we're now complaing that we didnt get Gonzalez? typical Cub fans, they never know what direction they wanna go in

Hendry didnt go after Gonz. because of budget...leave it alone...actually Pena has turned out to be an OK signing for 1 year

_________________

Pena (10M) is making more than Gonz (5.5M) this year. How does that not fit in the budget?

whistler is not even a real person...cp guy is a well informed baseball fan as am i.. and i don't know Kruger. Fixed.

Agreeing with me for a 2nd time in a week? I don't like this one bit

Forgive me, Im not reading this whole thread.

With all due respect CP Guy, the whole premise is ridiculous. As I've said Garza and Gonzalez are not equal or comparable.


But lets say in this fantasy world you make the trade. So now you're going forward with 4 less prospects, one all star first baseman, way less financial flexibility and you are still about 5 to 6 players away from competing.

It would not have been a prudent move. It wouldnt have made sense.

I think the Cubs have designs on Fielder. Especially since B&B claim they won't sign him or Pujols. That means they will sign one of them.

Pena was a one year commitment.

We have no reason to think the Padres wanted to talk to the Cubs.

Pena is acutally only making 5M this year and another 5M next year rather he plays for the Cub or not. Better than the Mets still paying Bobby Bonilla.

When you say Gonz and Garza aren't comparable or equal, what do you mean? If you mean Gonz is far better than Garza, with all due respect that is kind of what I am postulating. Garza isn't bad, but Gonz is one of the premier bats in all of baseball.

Technically true. So the difference in '11 is 500K, the amount they wasted on Doug Davis approx.

Do you honestly think Gonzalez makes this team a contender this year? With what money would they have extended him with? Under your plan, you better hope that we have the players in the minors to fill our holes at SP, LF, CF, RF and possibly C because we wouldn't have the financial flexibility to make any moves.

He's 29 right now, by the time Z's, Soriano's, Dempsters etc contracts are off the books (and you have the money to sign other FA's) he's well into his 30's and his performance is likely to start to decline, but you are still paying him like it's his prime.

So many reasons why it would have been a bad idea.
