    Since cueto is gone, shields is the next best candidate. I'd rather them not go after hamels.

    on what do you base this moronic opinion? :wink:

    I agree that Hamels would not be the best choice. I don't trust him and with what the Cubs would have to give up to get him. What do you think about going after Grienke (misspelled) in the off season?

    I think he would be ok. They'd pay to much for him though.

    Yeah. it is hard to gauge real value on the older pitchers. the salaries have been crazy, and you don't want to get burned on another Zambrano contract.

    I really think shields is who they need to get. They offered him 3 years, 60 mil in the off season. There would be roughly 68 million left to pay if they got him now. And they'd have him for just under 3.5 years.

    Who do you think they would have to give up to get him? I have heard that not many teams are interested in Castro. I have heard Baez and our pitching prospect's name thrown around in trade rumors for Hamels.

    I think the Padres GM would be thrilled to get Baez for shields. But my guess is the cubs could give up 2 double a guys for him. SD is looking to dump money.

    how he got the name "big game" is beyond me.

    Dear god I hope we find a new home for Castro. Dumbest fucking player in the league. Can't field, can't run the bases, 7 for his last 69, and just looks like he's flat out not paying attention half the time.

    Russell has proved he can play SS so,
    Yeah, he needs to go... just wonder if anyone is willing to take him on....maybe we can find some suckers out there.

    Russell can't hit yet either. Don't be so quick to dump Castro. This is by far his worst hitting season. He'll bounce back.

    shit, I hope so... I don't think they will be able to move him and get what he's worth, because of all the stupid shit he does
    he just needs to grow up

    Castro's errors are down, are they not?
