Hamilton to the Cubs?

According to this article:

http://chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseball/cubs/cs-071203cubs,1,1498288.story?coll=cs-h ome-headlines

The Reds may be interested in trading Hamilton to the Cubs for Sean Marshall.  Marshall has a decent Grounball/Flyball number 1.55 last year, but other than that his stats don't blow me away.  Doesn't seem like a fair deal unless another piece is thrown in.

horrible move
In my mind if you trade with a division rival you better walk away at the least breaking even in the deal. I don't see this as a "win" for the Redlegs.

Trade within the division?
The Eightball says: unlikely

Chicago Tribune making things up on a slow news day? Impossible!!

However, don't be surprised if Cubs sign Geoff Jenkins to contract as Brewers didn't pick up his option.  Just another thoughtless rumor.

Yeah..
I guess if everything coming out of Chicago had truth to it, we would've traded Kearns and Wily Mo to them about 10 different times each.

Would you do it if
the deal was for Sean Marshall and Matt Murton?

I'm still not sure I would. Maybe. I'll think on it.

We Are ... Marshall!

I would do it
I mean "hobbs" would be great for the cubs in the 51 games he plays in next season.

Q.E.D.
With respect to why not do it.

cubs aren't interested?
From Chi Sun Times

The Cubs continue to talk to teams about a possible trade of former ace Mark Prior, who's not expected to return from shoulder surgery until at least May in his final season before becoming eligible for free agency. If they can't move him, the Cubs are faced with a tough decision on Dec. 12, the deadline for offering arbitration. They want an option year with any 2008 contract for Prior.

Hendry said he has talked this week with Prior's agent, John Boggs, but appeared no closer to deciding what to do with Prior if he can't be traded. The Padres, Rangers and Reds are among the interested teams.

Highly regarded scouting guru Gary Hughes, who gave Hendry his start in professional baseball, was honored with a lifetime achievement award by Baseball America on Tuesday night.

''The things he's done for the game, behind the scenes, you can't put into words,'' said Hendry, who got visibly emotional as he discussed Hughes. ''The people he's broken in, the people he's helped ... he should have been a general manager a long time ago.''

In response to a Toronto-based rumor, Hendry said he has not talked to any teams about trading pitcher Ryan Dempster.

Hendry also said he won't trade Felix Pie or Sam Fuld - who was honored Tuesday as the Arizona Fall League MVP - and the two prospects could go to spring training as the Cubs' center-field pool.

Despite rumors that the Reds are shopping talented, young - and lefty-hitting - center fielder Josh Hamilton, the Cubs haven't discussed Hamilton with the Reds and don't appear to have much interest.

Someone said...
...the Reds are willing to trade Hamilton, but not within the division.

Wow
I've never heard a sound in a movie theater like when the credits began to roll. It was this huge groan peppered with "What?"s and a distinctive "You got to be fucking kidding me."

Could be good if you haven't read the books, but the midnight crowd was preparing their torches and pitchforks.

Wow
They were disappointed because it wasn't faithful to the books, or they weren't familiar with the books, and they were disappointed with the ending?

They ended it (rather clumsily) before the ending of the book. The final scenes were filmed and are clearly seen in the trailer, but they decided to hold them off until the as yet unfilmed sequal. It was a clear studio-imposed happy ending.

A theater full of disgruntled atheists..
..after viewing a movie with a studio-imposed happy ending?

Now that there's some juicy irony.
