Montero won't stick at Catcher since he's horrible defensively there. He can only play 1st Base and DH, but he has a talented bat

Wow! He's considered one of baseball's best prospects, and doesn't even have good D! He MUST have a damn good bat.

He does. I don't know much about his average but he is expected to be a 40+hr guy in the majors.

The Dodgers and Cubs are talking about a trade that would send Ryan Theriot and Ted Lilly to LA. But, no one knows are close they are to a deal.

Unconfirmed Rumor: The Padres are in talks with the Cubs for 2 SP. They want an innings pitcher and another one. Wlill keep you updated on this one, if it comes to be true.

Lilly and Theriot packaged now?

I guess that just means a few extra prospects, and ya, I saw the same thing on MLBTR. Didn't see the Padres one though.

The Padres one is not seen anywhere. Only one place, that's why I labled it unconfirmed rumor. The Cubs are trying to get Dee Brown in the deal from the Dodgers, but that seems unlikely.

He's talking about Gordon, he just did one of his "wrote the wrong thing unknowingly, but it can still be inferred what I mean anyway so it doesn't matter" things.

I recently Heard:
To CHC: James Loney (hate that *****, remember 2008)
To LAD: Ted Lilly and Lance Berkman
To HOU: Tom Gorzelanny and LAD Prospects

That would be a shitass trade, pretty sure its fake though, and was from yesterday, so Lilly and Theriot to Dodgers is more recent.

Id think there would be quite a few prospects involved going each way with that proposal.

It doesn't even make sense to me though, Why would we try to get Loney instead of prospects, that is why I think it is fake.

Yeah, I don't even really like Loney anyway. I don't want a starting 1st baseman who can only OPS around .770 every year. Where would he even play for the rest of this year? DLee's not going anywhere.

Now the rumor is that we're trading Lilly and Theriot to LA for Blake DeWitt and a minor league pitcher.

Blake DeWitt used to have some pop in the minors, but he doesn't look like that much of an upgrade over Fontenot right now.

The Cubs already have a ton of middle infield prospects, and if Theriot gets traded Darwin Barney will get called up. He's probably a better then Theriot as well...

They just got Podsednik, so I doubt they'd trade for Nady. So that leaves ether Fontenot or Baker. DeWitt's pretty much a younger Fontenot though.

Maybe they want Koyie Hill?:lmao:
