Reed out a month w/ broken foot. - Coach - 07-30-2009
I would take Fuld over Reed any day, except against LHP.

so basically you are saying you prefer Reed since recently the only playing time he got was against LHers. Now I wondering if Fuk is now going to play full time instead of platoon. My guess is Fuld doesn't get too many starts.

Yep, I like Fuld but not replacing what Reed provides.

Cubs Eyeing Teahen, Hermida
By Tim Dierkes [July 30 at 9:02am CST]
The Cubs are looking for a left-handed hitter who can play right field, according to Gordon Wittenmyer of the Chicago Sun-Times. While they're not optimistic about a deal, the plan would be to create a platoon with the disappointing Milton Bradley. Wittenmyer says the Cubs have about $2-3MM of payroll room to work with.
Two players on the radar: Mark Teahen of the Royals and Jeremy Hermida of the Marlins. The Royals are looking for a center fielder in return, however. Teahen has $1.37MM left on his contract. Hermida has $847K remaining. Both players can be under team control through 2011. Either player would still leave some wiggle room for the Cubs to acquire a left-handed reliever.

I just think that saying that Fuld had been better than Reed this season is weird. How many plate appearances have both of them had?

Fuld is not good.

The Cubs don't need another RFer, they already have four of them (Bradley, Fuk, Hoffpauir, Fox). If they're adding an OFer, it needs to be a guy that can play CF along with playing a corner spot.

19 AB isn't shit. That's my point.

I am fully aware of what your point is, I'm just saying that Reed has not been very good this year and is not that huge a loss.

Fuld can't do this against lefties (aka Reed's value to the team):
.306/.386/.452/.838

Historically (and this season), Reed is a LHP killer. He lives to pound the shit out of lefties.
