What should the Cubs do about Ramirez?

[Jntg4]

Now while i don't think Hendry is great at his job he isn't bad i mean since the year they had made the world series what was that 1949 the cubs made the playoffs twice (pretty bad). since Hendry took over which was like late 90s 2000s region they cubs have been to playoffs three to four times that is pretty good increase from what it was. He also has not made to many bad signings either obviously Bradley was a major screw up every GM has one of them. Soriano he has produced excpet for last year when he was battling injury all year except for the first two months and he was on pace to have a really good year. Ted Lilly that was a great signing. Kevin Gregg wasn't great but he could have been a whole lot worse. Made the Derrick Lee signing. He also made the Aram trade go.

1945, not 1949, they went to the World Series in 1945!

I can't, I'm only 15, I just know about Cubs history.

Are you nuts? He is already terrible at defense and it's only going to get worse. Aramis is terribly injury prone as well, I'd hold off giving him a 3 year extension.

Yeah, definitely wasn't even thinking about his defense. I'd let his contract run out and say bye.

According to Bruce Levine the Cubs will try to trade him this winter, although it will be tough with him having a no trade clause but Cubs would be happy about playing Blake DeWitt at 3B and signing a stopgap for 2B (Orlando Hudson?).

uke:

He wasn't hitting that great last year except for a month or so and everything i hear is he doesn't like to go out ot the cages and work on his swing he has to realize that he is 31 i think, he is going to start losing some bat speed and he has to realize he has to work hard to keep his play at the level it has been for awhile. He was also a defensive liability last year he was one of the highest in the NL with errors at his position out of starters. Now while it could have just been an off year for him it is still a little distrubing to see him take a complete nose dive like he did.

So many things wrong with this. So many things...

Ramirez is STAYING! They won't get what they want, no player that can step in at 3B and they lose a power bat. However, if the Cubs are out come deadline, he will be traded. No doubt in my mind. Unless he is injured.

 

[cubsneedmiracle]

He could be dealt at the deadline..

That's probably the the earliest he would be moved.

Are you trying to tell me the Padres wouldn't want an aging, injury prone and bad fielding 3rd baseman for a guy like Gonzalez? You're nuts.
