we got back scott maine and ryne white. White seems like minor league filler – corner infielder with little power. Maine could be a decent LOOGY type of arm with a good curve to go with an average fastball. Considering it was Heilman that was sent away, I’m pleased with the return.

Cubs ship non-tender candidate Aaron Heilman to Dbacks for prospects Scott Maine and Ryne White.

well ...

regardless of what we got, shipping out Heilman helps defray the cost of Grabow.

The Grabow deal still amazes me.

Especially with quality relievers like Dotel, Calero, Soriano and Gonzalez out there.

As White Sox fans if Dotel is a quality reliever.

Hey, it's a new century!

Maybe I just saw all of his bad moments.

Seemed like everytime I saw him pitch, he did something to contribute to a loss.

Wouldn't Soriano cost just as much or more?

How much does it save the Cubs?

Anyone know what we would owe the new guys?

They're minor leaguers, paid minor league salaries.

Thanks.

I wasn’t sure if they were both minor leaguers or just one of them.

Time to change my sig I guess

This saves about $2 million right?

Just say no to players named Aaron on the Cubs.

by nji232 on Nov 19, 2009 3:46 PM CST reply actions

Nope. There's still one left.

Trust me I can't forget about him

Though I don’t see a team being kind enough to take him. At least with Heilman you have the (false) potential for a decent starter.

Still Miles away from being Aaron free.

by nji232 on Nov 19, 2009 3:48 PM CST up reply actions

Now, moving Miles' salary is truly a Herculean task for Hendry.

I wonder if Ryne White was named after Ryne Sandberg

The math works for that to be the case.

Heilman ...

I remember when I actually watched the NBA (like in the ’90s) how amazed I was that mediocre (or worse) head coaches kept getting jobs (P.J. Carlisimo, etc.).

I feel the same way about Heilman.
