Video Mailbag: Murton, Fields, Garcia

The feature that links all the other videos at the end is pretty neat. Nice work Tim.

Enigma, nice word.

Thanks for the latest edition of the video mailbag Tim. I gotta ask though...what exactly is that remote control looking thing in your shirt pocket??

I think They kinda already have Cabrera in Wandy Rodriguez both are power pichers tha lack control and both leave their teams fans alternately salivating and despairing over their talent

Would the Cubs want Steve Kline since Eyre is out?

Basically just a salary dump for Giants...nothing needed in return.

Thanks for using my question, Tim. Those mailbags own.

If I'm the Astros, and the Orioles offered me Cabrera for Loretta, I'd take that in an instant. He's better than everyone on that staff not named Roy Oswalt and has more upside to boot.

Great job again Tim, I love the music, it sounds like something from a cheesy love scene or something!

how bout scott schoenweis for matt murton or felix pie and mets eat half of shows salary

How about Ruben Gotay and Scott Schoenweis for Matt Murton and Jason Marquis?

The Cubs get the lefty reliever they need, and 2nd base depth.

The Mets get the righthanded OF they sorely need, and a real #5 starter

Wouldn't that work?

If the Astros could get Daniel Cabrera for Mark Loretta, then they would do that immediately. They have a god awful rotation, trotting out there Oswalt, Rodriguez, Backe, Sampson and Chacon. At this point Cabrera would arguably be their number 2 starter, and his stuff is still pretty nasty. When you get the chance to acquire someone with that kind of ceiling, even if its highly unlikely that he'll reach it, for a bench player on an already pretty good offensive team, you have to do it. If Ed Wade turns down a Loretta for Cabrera offer, after signing Matsui to that dumb 4 year contract, then someone should beat him in the face, because he must have a crush on second baseman or something.

Hyro,

The Cubs don't actually need a second baseman; they need a lead-off man. They've already got plenty of guys who can play second and hit at least as well as Ruben Gotay. Strictly speaking, they really don't need a lefty reliever, either ... Marshall or Pignatiello will give them at least as much as Schoenweis would.

This would be a horrible trade for the Cubs, one that I'd like to think they'd never do.

basemonkey, thats what i thought about the Loretta deal too.

Felix Pie?? You know too little.
