This is your best post ever. I am really starting to warm up to you Frank.

Richard DFA'ed.

Good riddance.

one trade does not an idiot Billy Beane make. There will be a price for Reddick.

Not sayin' I don't want him tho.

It would be like...Szczur and a low A, not top 20 prospect pitcher.

Play him where? ...Maddon don't have the nutz to bench JHEY ...

He's a better 4th OF than Coughlin/Sczur. Wouldn't give them anything of value.

He no longer has the sick beard. His value has plummeted.

2013-2014 Reddick? You'd offer Happ and Jimenez.

Billy Beane has recently made MANY poor trades. The Shark to Sox trade is pretty much the only that hasn't sucked in the past 3 years.

Cashner goes to Marlins.


Strikes out Rizzo to end NLCS

Oh I like that ...the irony.

Wrong thread.

Makes no sense. LaStella is a nice bat to have off the bench. Coglan has done nothing.

They must be hoping Coghlan has a few good games and they can trade him.

Joe Smith getting a 60.7% groundball rate against righties this year, so there's your reason for wanting him.

Cool!

Nicely done.

Some say the Timberwolves and Kevin McHale are still licking their wounds.

And as for our Joe Smith, who doesn't love a sidewinder?

Ted was a submarine pitcher. Tompkins was a sidewinder. I really don't remember too many others that played for the Cubs. I think RP Randy Meyers threw sidearm once in awhile.

What about Oscar Zamora?

He was standing on 3rd about to score MLB's 1 millionth run but Bob Watson of the Astro's beat him to it. As a pitcher,I think he was good for a little while then got shelled.

Here are some other pretty good RP on the Cubs that might have had some sidewinding in their repertoire:

Les Lancaster
Bob Locker
Joe Borowski

I don't know the first two guys but Joe Borowski sucked fat dick.

_________________

Joe was often called a blue collar kinda guy.
I don't know if Joe would put down his lunchbucket to give the occasional hummer but his stats with the Cubs were pretty good:


Before his second year with the Chicago Cubs in 2002, Borowski had never appeared in more than 25 games, but when given a chance to appear frequently he did very well. Between his stints with the Yankees and Cubs, he worked as a fireman. In 2002, he went 4-4 with a 2.73 ERA in 73 games of relief. The next year, he was converted to the closer role for the Cubs and was exceptional, going 2-2 with a 2.63 ERA and recording 33 saves in 37 opportunities, helping the Cubs win their division and reach the NLCS before being eliminated by the eventual World Series champion Florida Marlins. In 2004, Borowski suffered from a partial tear in his right rotator cuff which limited him to just 22 games, in which he struggled, going 2-4 with an 8.02 ERA and recording 9 saves in 11 opportunities. In 2005, Borowski broke his hand on a come-backer that went directly at him. He returned to the Cubs on May 20. He did not have his old closer job back, though, as Ryan Dempster had emerged as the club's new closer. On June 29, 2005, Borowski was released by the Cubs.
