Matt Garza Traded To The Cubs

[DewsSox79]

I agree, but this guy is always right on target.

What has he been wrong about? I dont know him and never have seen his predictions. How far in advance does he predict

He gets things right usually like 5-9 hours before media sources get ahold of it. He hasn't been wrong.... it's just like First he'll say we're getting so and so and then the media says it, then he says we changed our minds, then the media says it. He's got legit connections.

ok, so its a matter of hours. I thought this was a guy that had info a little bit more ahead of time.

Hours are still quite a bit of time.

Hours are an eternity in the journalism business. Media members work their asses off to break a story 5 minutes before a competitor.

for me: example: I wouldnt care about getting news that adam dunn was going to sign with the sox 5 hours before it happened, to me 5 hours doesnt mean shit, to the media it is different, and i am not part of the media so 5 hours is ok with me.

Well ya I get that but its not bad to know the info sooner. The quicker the better IMO

if we are talking days.......hell yes!

Well considering most of the time players don't decide days before they are going to sign..

The 4 or 5 hours is probably the best you'll get.

The Cubs already have the spects on the table for the Garza deal.

Thanks I like it too.

I read that Levine chat yesterday. I'm sensing we are going to get a tad desperate and add McNutt to the package. What do you think?

 

[waldo7239117]

It wouldn't bother me if the Cubs did at McNutt, but they better not add Lee in. Like Levine says, the Rays may insist Lee. I would hang up then.

I don't see the Cubs acquiring Garza.

 

[House of Carlos]

McNutt is ahead of Lee though on everyone's prospect lists now. I suppose McNutt does come from a position of depth.

Levine sounded pretty optimistic in his chat or atleast I thought he did.

 

[waldo7239117]

McNutt is higher but he's older and has had more time in the minors. Garza is a SP an so will McNutt, that's where I go. Also, the Cubs have tons of pitching in their minors. However, the Cubs do have a lot of MI, but I think Lee will be something in about 2 years.
