Injury Log on the Big 3 - Butcher - 05-04-2009
Just when I was starting to feel a little better about the team...
Injury Log on the Big 3 - Fella - 05-04-2009
3 weeks is only 3 starts, considering he pitched yesterday. Not ideal news obviously, but its nice to know he won't be out too long.

Yep.
And the argument that somehow DeRosa wouldn't be happy if he and Fontenot both stayed is pretty ridiculous. There would have been plenty of at bats to go around, just like there were last season for the two of them.

And if we hadn't overpaid for Bradley, we would have been able to afford to keep DeRosa.

How was there plenty for Fontenot last year? He's almost halfway to his AB total from last year. And as we can see, he's no slouch with the bat.
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Well, the point is more about this season. There would have been significantly more at bats to go around this season with Bradley in the equation.
The thing about this whole thing for me is that I really wasn't all that upset with trading DeRosa to get Fontenot more at bats, until we turned around and gave Aaron Miles $5 million to replace him. And yes, in the grand scheme of things, Miles did essentially replace DeRosa. I can't even understand that being a question.

Aside from Abreu, every left handed power OFer got almost the exact same deal. We didn't overpay for Bradley; he, Dunn, and Ibanez signed almost identical deals.

There were reports that the Royals and I believe another team were offering him that money. I don't think we really overpaid for him at that time. They made him their main target and made sure they got him. And I don't see Milton Bradley being the type that would settle for much less money to sign with a team. He also said how Derrek Lee and Hendry pretty much convinced him to come to the Cubs, I don't think it's where he zeroed in on coming to at the beginning of the offseason.

The reason it doesn't make sense is because DeRosa got 600 PAs last year and Miles will probably only get 300 this year, if that. If Ramirez stays healthy and Fontenot keeps hitting he may end up with no more than Cedeno had last year.
His name may have replaced DeRosa's on the roster, but comparing their production makes zero sense.
I've made it very clear I thought the Dero deal was beyond moronic, I still think so and I also agreed it had nothing to do with money.
However, I think production wise, we are gonna probably end up the same, considering how many more ABs Fontenot and Hoffpauir will get this year.

His name may have replaced DeRosa's on the roster, but comparing their production makes zero sense.
I've made it very clear I thought the Dero deal was beyond moronic, I still think so and I also agreed it had nothing to do with money.
However, I think production wise, we are gonna probably end up the same, considering how many more ABs Fontenot and Hoffpauir will get this year.

Ok, how about this... Fontenot replaced DeRosa, Miles replaced Fontenot. So let's compare Miles to Fontenot then?
