regarding dero to the cardinals

stl has a lot of AAAA pitchers, well they haven’tbeen that good in AAA. they also have had numerous injuries. they’ve made moves involving their 40 man roster, and may have tough decisions to make for who deserves a spot in december. (this from general comment on the cardinals site).

they might be able to deals three or four kevin hart-esque pitchers to the tribe to get dero. if that would be enough. not sure.

by tim815 on Jun 19, 2009 2:32 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

If it'll take Kevin Hart-level pitchers to get the deal done

then I think the Cubs can pull of the same deal.

Gotta go pick up Max from zoo camp. I hope to be on the threads later in the game! GO CUBS!

I'm a Cubs FANATIC. They are my team, through thick and thin. When they play over their heads, and when they play under the gutter. When they win the division, and then get swept in the division series. When they get no-hitters and when they blow no-hitters. And some day, when they go all the way and get those rings. This is the kind of fan I am.

You probably always love every Cub right

How bout have a pitcher that can take the ball every fifth day…not baby him like they had to last year. Or maybe someone who has to be on a baby pitch count of 100 or 90 like most starts.

10th HR he's given up already this year... to a guy who'd only hit 1 HR in his career.
