cubs

The Cubs would be a huge winner in that deal.

Tejada would be their best hitter and they'd replace their second best pitcher with an even better pitcher in Zito.

Prior has been good when healthy... but that's just it, he's an "if" and "when" player.

no doubt. cubs in 06 would be a tough team to beat if they had tejada and zito in there lineup..
 
cbs has a good article on the prospect of a prior/tejada trade. they think the most likely trade would show around 12 players getting moved from 3 teams(white sox, cubs, orioles). the cubs would get around 5 prospects and tejada. the white sox would get bedard, patterson and hill/guzman. the orioles would get prior/z, neifi perez and one of the white sox top 4 pitchers. this would allow the cubs to trade todd walker for
a replacement for zambrano and would allow them to keep cedeno and pie.

as for the zito situation, its lookin like the cubs would be giving prior/z and prospects and just get back tejada. the a's would get bedard and prospects from the cubs. the orioles would get prior and zito.

no way that happens. whitesox wont be in this deal at all and no way we lose both our pitchers..

Aren't the Cubs potentially giving up an awful lot?


well felix pie is suppose to be crazy good. but right now in winter ball he is batting a great .209. everyone feels he has the same wrap sheet as corey patterson which if you know who corey is it isnt good. he swings for the fences everytime and its either strike out or get a hit. now as long as we get to keep cedeno (how is batting a monsterous .381 in witner ball) and we get tejada and zito in this trade, i can handle losing prior. he was going to be gone after this year anyhow..
 
What are Tejada and Zito's contract situations? I'm pretty sure Tejada is locked in, but isn't Zito in the same boat as Prior?

tejada has 4 years 11 mil a year and zito has one year left, but i really think the cubs can resign him. it really doenst matter though cause prior was gone anyways after this year. he and his father doesnt like baker and want they both want him to play on the west coast. we were going to go after zito in the offseason anyhow so i mean.....
