Around SBN: Steve McNair Dead - Former NFL QB Shot and Killed


Yu Darvish

I've seen some previous fanposts about the young pitcher out of Japan Yu Darvish. I also watched the ESPN2 documentary about Bobby Valentine and they gave Yu Darvish lots of praise. He looks like a great and very dominant pitcher and has taken over the Japanese League with full force. Last year his ERA was 1.89!

So, we know that this guy is a stud, but my question is what teams are interested in this kid and if he wants to go to the states at all? I wonder if the Cubs would be interested and whether we can afford that kind of player?

This is a FanPost and does not necessarily reflect the views of SB Nation or Al Yellon, editor-in-chief (unless it's a FanPost posted by Al). FanPost opinions are valued expressions of opinion by passionate and knowledgeable baseball fans.

That's not how we do things here.

The cubs.com message board is full of duplicate posts and clutter. One thing we try to do here is to minimize that by NOT posting a topic that’s just been done in detail in the last few days. This topic is one of those.

Thank you for understanding.

And here's...

...the most recent fanpost in question. Use the new and improved search function and mistakes like this are pretty easy to avoid.

Nanika Ga Okoru!

Oh, and remember, folks: Alfonso Soriano is NOT batting leadoff. He's batting first.

He'd be great...

to fill in the five spot in the rotation. I’d definitely like him.

5 Spot?

He’d be a 1b.

Jacque Jones is gone, and I doubt Ivan DeJesus would mind this!

Aramis Ramirez and Reed Johnson during warm ups at their rehab assignment with the Peoria Chiefs at Kane County.  Aramis Ramirez missed a home run by about 2 feet at his first at bat and ended up with a stand up double.  He later took a base-on-balls and scored twice. Reed Johnson also had a hit and scored.  Here are the rest of the photos.

It's more walk-off magic for the Cubs, when a bases-leaded walk to Jake Fox gives them the 2-1, extra-innings win.

It's yet another episode of "Outfield Adventures", starring Milton Bradley, as he'd lose this Jason Kendall-hit ball in the sun Friday against the Brewers.

Jeff Suppan is thrown out by Kosuke Fukudome in the seventh inning of the Cubs 2-1 win.

"Sources tell me Soriano will bat 6 in tomorrows lineup vs....
Buster Olney said a few days ago that the Braves would entertain offers for their 26 year old shortstop (who makes 450k) Yunel Escobar. He is a plus bat, a solid defender, and would move Theriot to his more appropriate position at second.

They are looking for a bat in return. Apparently Cox doesn't like the guy. 

I couldn't even speculate what we'd have to send them in return, but I think he would be a good fit given his low salary, his productive bat, his position, and his age.  I don't care if he's a jerk if he makes the team win more.

What would it take?
