[dk123]

Wait, Ace....you don't have a point? Did you really say that? Is that a first?

Jason Frasor looks like a likely candidate, but what would we have to give up?

Anyone else we are looking at?<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

They're not making a trade, it would've been done already I think. Final spot in the pen is a competition between Mateo, Paris, Gaub and Russel. Given those 4, I'd say as of now, its Parisi's job to lose. If he shits the bed, then I guess it's anyone's game.

Maybe however a lot of trades do happen at the end of ST. A lot of teams are cutting their rosters down to 25 so there could possibly be several veterans available that just couldn't fit on other teams because of numbers.

Currently, I couldn't like the possible bullpen any less.

You're just a little ray of sunshine.

Historically, a lot of trades tend to happen during the last week of ST after final cuts, so just sayin. Not saying we will make one, but we are still reportedly scouting a few relievers, so anything can still happen last minute.

If Marmol's arm exploded?

That might do it.

Marmol is one of the few bright spots in the Cubs bullpen. Despite his bouts of wildness, if he lost him, we would have no pen.

Which is exactly what Ruby is saying.

Listen, you fat fuck...no one is ever allowed to clarify what Ruby is saying. What he's saying is always negative, and when the 30% of the time he's right rolls around, he always comes back to let us know.

[AnnoCatuli]

I know that's what he was saying, I was simply agreeing with him.

Newbies must neither agree nor disagree. Newbies shall not be bloggers, nor echo content. Newbies shall not speak as though they know, nor speaks as though the membership does not know.

Or so I've gathered thus far.

Shit, then I guess I'm screwed. I think I should stand in the corner until I am invited to this dance.
