That was a nice AB by Starlin.

ctcf · 10/21/11 - In Logic We Trust

Followed up with a single by Rizzo, no less.

That was kind of fun. Come on LaHair, make the Dodgers give us something good.

Careless · **Posted:** Wed Jul 04, 2012 5:49 pm

He is not graceful. At least he didn't break his wrist landing.

El Duderino · **Posted:** Wed Jul 04, 2012 5:50 pm

look at that defense dodgers, that's some good [expletive] right there

TruffleShuffle · **Posted:** Wed Jul 04, 2012 5:56 pm

according to gameday, rizzo just flew out to 20 feet beyond the CF fence.

ctcf · 10/21/11 - In Logic We Trust

Yessssss LaHair. Keep raising that trade value.

HAIR TRADE VALUE RISING

Nuts&Gum · **Posted:** Wed Jul 04, 2012 6:17 pm

Turned on the game literally as LaHair was mashing it; nice way to start my viewing.

How is Maholm looking?

davell · **Joined:** Sat Jul 23, 2005 5:55 pm **Posts:** 9416

A few hard hit balls, but he's been about what he normally is: decent.

ctcf · 10/21/11 - In Logic We Trust

Man even when he gets out, Rizzo has some great looking contact.

ctcf · 10/21/11 - In Logic We Trust

Here's hoping scouts are watching LaHair today.

Irrelevant Dude · **Posted:** Wed Jul 04, 2012 6:57 pm

What are the Cubs realistically going to be able to get for Lahair?

I'm starting to think that it better be a pretty good prospect or else there is really no reason to let him go. He is a cheap, team controlled player who provides left handed power and can play multiple positions (albeit not spectacularly). Even if he is not an everyday player, why deal a piece like that unless you are going to get something of real value in return?

If he can be a .270/.800s hitter and play a decent RF, let the scouts watch Soriano and DeJesus instead. It's not as though there are a ton of options for corner outfielders, and nobody's going to give up the type of pitching prospects we need for him anyway.

Nuts&Gum · **Posted:** Wed Jul 04, 2012 7:00 pm

MEAT.

Slide Castro Slide · **Posted:** Wed Jul 04, 2012 7:01 pm

There's that arm of Soriano's.

TruffleShuffle · **Posted:** Wed Jul 04, 2012 7:01 pm

didn't realize chipper jones' hoveround could move that fast.

I constantly forget how slow Barney is.

I don't think there's any chance we trade him for scraps. I know some here think he sucks, but he's controllable through his entire career basically. The only issue I see is a team trading for him needs a guy to platoon with him. We may actually NEED to throw in Baker or Reed to go along with him, depending on the team. Friedman mentioned there'd be teams trading from a strength to fill other needs, so part of me thinks he's talking about LaHair. Maybe we could get Alex Cobb and something else for him.

Nuts&Gum · **Posted:** Wed Jul 04, 2012 7:08 pm

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH.

Fred Hornkohl · **Posted:** Wed Jul 04, 2012 7:09 pm

Damn !! That Baker is about the best pinch hitter in the league, eh?

Fred Hornkohl · **Posted:** Wed Jul 04, 2012 7:10 pm

That Baker HR landed 8 seats to the right and 1 row behind CubmanPi and his family.

Go CUBS !!
