Single Greatest Thread Ever

[Quality Start Machine]

The Cubs felt it was necessary to make this move because of payroll constraints, and they felt comfortable with their depth on the pitching staff after acquiring starter Matt Garza from the Rays.

FYI, Gorzelany made $800,000 last year.  Man, is payroll tight!

I think it was more about already having plenty of starting pitching depth and also getting some prospects back.  One report has this guy coming back, which would be a pretty decent return for Gorzo.

Hendry's had himself a pretty nice offseason so far. 

Looking at Burgess' strikeout-to-walk ratio made me throw up in my mouth.

Poor Tom wasn't even a Cub long enough to get his name spelled right in the farewell thread.

His walks are fine, if not good - he's walking more than 10% of the time, which is all you can ask for.  Those strikeouts, though.  Holy shit.

So, if the Mariners are able to void his contract, does that mean they win the Silva/Bradley trade?

Unless Chuck really means the season in which he missed the Super  Bowl, the 2005 run-up to that year was clearly teh Year of teh Tommie.

He was doing quite well in 2006 until he shredded his leg.
