How Good Would The Cubs Be With Roy Halladay?

Tatum was claimed as an organizational filler. He has a great reputation as a defensive catcher who can't hit for shit. He is on the 40 man roster as a place holder. He will be put through waivers sometime this winter, and will pass through them with almost 100% certainty, The only reason he was picked up was to have a good defensive catcher to work with and handle the young pitchers in the minors.

This move is nothing but an organizational filler move.

Should I make fun of the Red Sox for picking up Robert Manuel (nothing more than a bullpen arm) from the Mariners. NO cause that would make me look like a fool for not understanding that move which has just as much credence and reasoning as this Orioles claim.

You are just too smart for the people on Covers  

I think he should look to be a part of the Orioles' organization. He seems to know how to contend in 2-3 years better than anyone else there.

mlbtraderumors give a heads up on who they may be looking at. They'll probably get Feliz, Looper and Rodney. Maybe Bedard too. And for the 15 games he starts, I'll certainly be impressed. I won't deny he's a great pitcher...but he's never healthy.

Dont worry Jpero can tell you all about Castro and Vitters

I do give jpero respect for his knowledge on minor league baseball. He just doesn't understand how they evaluate into big leaguers. He thinks he does...but he doesn't. Nobody does.

Or the Red Sox, Angels, Tigers, Cubs, Dodgers and Mets. And hey...if you trade your homegrown talent, you can get big name stars. And if you dish out the big bucks that 1 time and it works, the further you go, the more money you make, and the more money you have. If the owner chooses to pocket the money, that's his deal. Simply...when you win, you get more money. Just like the Rays. They NEVER went out and got a big name free agent. Burrell was pretty big when it came to bats in the offseason.

Agreed!

sparky grat avator,,what a women.

and would love roy on the squad..waiting to hear that milton fuckface has been traded..cubs are trying everything tonight to rid of this cancer..

The Cubs getting Roy Halliday?

You got a better chance of meeting Jesus.

BINGO! you hit the nail on the head. And besides with that dumb shit in the dugout, our ball club is going nowhere. Even the friggn' Brewers went out and got two half-way decent pitchers today...Randy Wolf and Hawkins. The Cubs are strapped with bad contracts, and will have to eat much of Bradley's even if he's traded.

The new owner is a joke too with all of his bullshit about being a Cub fan "from the neighborhood". The jerk off is from Nebraska and rented a $1000 per month apartment across the street from Wrigley while he was a student at Univ. of Chicago, which costs about 50K per year to attend...some "neighborhood" guy.

And BTW, they raised ticket prices 19%. I got my invoices today and almost shit myself when I saw how much they jacked it up!
