Probably Irrelevant Michael Young Watch: Rockies Out

Probably Irrelevant Michael Young Watch: Rockies Out

By Brett on February 9, 2011

In the last two days, things have escalated in Texas such that it’s hard to imagine Michael Young starting the 2011 season with the Rangers. He’s officially requested a trade, suggested that he’s “sick” of playing for the Rangers, and stated that he feels he was misled about the team’s intentions. But despite his eagerness [...]

Lukewarm Stove: Michael Young Likely to Be Traded

Lukewarm Stove: Michael Young Likely to Be Traded

By Brett on February 7, 2011

Michael Young has finally had enough of his ever-changing role in Texas – shortstop? third base? second base? first base? DH? – and he’s ready to move on. Surely the Rangers anticipated his frustration when they added first Adrian Beltre and then Mike Napoli, leaving Young without a clear starting spot. The Texas Rangers have [...]

Lukewarm Stove: Cubs Make Sense for Michael Young or Ian Kinsler

Lukewarm Stove: Cubs Make Sense for Michael Young or Ian Kinsler

By Brett on January 31, 2011

When the Texas Rangers added Adrian Beltre (with a hilariously awful contract, you’ll note) earlier this offseason, rumors began to swirl about incumbent third baseman Michael Young. Would he stay, would he go? Management says he’ll see time all over the field, and, in that way, a full complement of at bats – especially if [...]

Lukewarm Stove: Rockies Aggressively Pursuing Lance Berkman

Lukewarm Stove: Rockies Aggressively Pursuing Lance Berkman

By Brett on December 2, 2010

Free agent Lance Berkman has said as many as eight teams are pursuing him this winter, one of whom is the Chicago Cubs, who need a first baseman. None have yet emerged as a favorite to sign Fat Elvis, but the Colorado Rockies are making a serious push. In the Rockies’ search for a big [...]

On the Starting Pitching Front, the Market Look Grim For the Chicago Cubs

On the Starting Pitching Front, the Market Look Grim For the Chicago Cubs

By Brett on November 30, 2010

With the De La Rosa’s, Vazquez’s, and Garland’s of the free agent starting pitcher market gone, and the Padilla’s of the market not on the Cubs’ radar, the remaining options generally fall into two categories: solid and expensive (think Cliff Lee or Carl Pavano), and cheap and risky. The Chicago Cubs are falling, decidedly, into [...]

Cross Jorge De La Rosa Off Your List

Cross Jorge De La Rosa Off Your List

By Brett on November 30, 2010

He probably hasn’t been on your list since the first week of the offseason, but there was a time when the Chicago Cubs were rumored to have interested in free agent lefty Jorge De La Rosa. Then his contract demands were revealed – at least three years, at least $10 million per. So long, interest. [...]

Lukewarm Stove: Cubs Looking at Erik Bedard, Brad Hawpe

Lukewarm Stove: Cubs Looking at Erik Bedard, Brad Hawpe

By Brett on November 28, 2010

Add another potential reclamation project to the list of Cubs targets this Winter: Erik Bedard. As noted in the comments, and by Bruce Levine on Talkin’ Baseball on ESPN 1000 (h/t CCO), because of the budgetary restrictions, and generally full rotation, the Cubs could look at a high-upside, coming-off-injury-type pitcher this Winter like Bedard. Like Webb, [...]

Lukewarm Stove: Javier Vazquez Wants to Pitch in Miami

Lukewarm Stove: Javier Vazquez Wants to Pitch in Miami

By Brett on November 19, 2010

Like LeBron James and Chris Bosh before him, free agent starter Javier Vazquez wants to take his talents to Miami. The 34-year-old starter, coming off a down year, has been connected to the Chicago Cubs’ search for a middle-of-the-rotation type, but there are now two significant hurdles to him becoming a Cub. In addition to [...]
