Camp is 3.53 ERA right now, and DeJesus still has one of the highest OBP amongst leadoff men. The strategy they took for this year was trying to win the lottery. You don't tend to win on too many of those lottery ticket.

Theo took the best deal he thought he could get for a setup guy. Relievers aren't worth a ton no matter how good they are.

I guess to me if you trade one of the top LH RP in the game you dont go for lottery. you go for high potential specs. Not 25 y/o SP that might be 5th SP or 25 y/o OF who is a 4th OF or AAAA.

2-1 Cubbies. Nice AB by DeJesus

Problem is the Cubs really didnt get any so called prospects for Marshall. They got a 25 y/o SP and a 25 y/o OF.. The 3rd guy is a midget 2B. Theo went for the win in Marshall deal thinking he got a 4th or 5th SP, 4th OF and a spec that might turn into something. So your thinking way off there

Disagree...there was a reason those players like wood were traded by cincy...they are bad...we made the trade to fill meaningless low level positions on a team at the bottom of the league

We were never in it to win that deal..we were in it to fill out a bad roster

The fact is that no matter how awesome Sean Marshall is, he is still just a relief pitcher and that means the value coming back will be low. Considering what the Cubs got back I'm still happy with the trade.

Good job Jake. Give up a two run single to a **** head hitting .149 in June.

So if you trade one of the best LH RP to fill out a MLB roster doesnt that mean you fail as a GM? The idea is to help the team win. Not jut fill out a MLB roster. Should have traded for potential filled prospects. Not going to get top 100 specs for a RP but could get some low minor leaguers with alot of potential

No argument here. Dont mind the deal, just dont think the mindset was to "win" it when it was made

What team gives up high potential prospects for a setup guy? Hell even closers rarely get more than a single high prospect.

Bryan LaHair reverting back to why he was in the minors for so long.

[Rice Cube]

That was probably as good as the Cubs were gonna get. Wood won't last more than 7 innings so the Sox should be able to dig into the bullpen then, assuming they don't have the lead by then.

I think that just awfull way of thinking. Marshall just wasnt a medicore RP. He was a top 3 LH RP in the game. With how bad this team was going to be they should have gotten 2-3 minor leaguers with high potential. Not 25 y/o SP that ceiling was 4th-5th SP material, 4th OF. They could have filled out the MLB roster by signing guys to MLD.

If June is the worst Brian LaHair is going to be I would gladly take that from a guy making league minimum (over 800 OPS).

It's how every team thinks. If your team is going to suck, why keep a setup man when there are no leads to set up?

Seriously D3A what team trades high potential prospects for setup guys? Wayne Krivsky isn't the GM of the Reds anymore.
