from a Cubs board....
Just a couple comments from Bruce Levine this morning:
The Cubs are still very interested in Roberts and he expects talks to continue next week.
The players he's hearing in a potential deal are Cedeno, Gallagher, and either Veal or Marshall.
Levine thinks if the Cubs acquire Roberts, they'd put him at leadoff and ask Soriano to bat down in the order.
Peace21....Looks like the Marshall piece I was told has some teeth.
That would be a sweet package, IMO. I think that is even better than the Gallagher, Murton and Patterson.
So this would mean a 2B man would be coming back in a Bedard deal, most likely Kendrick from the Angels or Chen from the Mariners. I don't think Cedeno would make an adequate second baseman.

Thanks for the update! I think I like Gallagher/Marshall coming this way in a BRob trade...not sure who would play 2nd, but heck, we got until the end of March to figure that out!!
Thanks again. Go O's!!
Cubs open up a spot on the 40 man by trading Pagan for 2 minor leaguer today.
Cedeno, Gallagher, Marshall/Veal w/b a hundred times better. Patterson's a project at best and Murton they don't really need that badly. That's why MacPhail didn't go for that deal-presuming it was offered.
They need a SS and Marshall/Gallagher have a shot at the rotation.If this is the deal-take it.

Marshall doesn't excite me much.
I think I would rather have Murton than Marshall.
Gallagher, Cedeno, Murton for BRob.
Sorry everyone, but I can't find anything on marshall. Can someone post a link?
Personally, though I know nothing of Marshall, I'm not that impressed with Cedeno, and I'm getting a little sick of pitchers. Not that Gallagher looks bad at all, but we need some positional depth too.
I like the deal, especially if it means we could get Kendrick back in a Bedard deal.from a Cubs board....

We agree, although I'd still do Veal or Marshall.
Although it's not happening, I'd sure like to get Vitters as a PTBNL...
Hopefully the waiting out of the deals is paying off. Might also be pressure from other teams bidding. Sounds like a good deal.
Here you go.....
You can go to Baseballamerica.com and look for the player finder section. Type in the players name and it will direct you to last years stats for all the teams the kid played for in 2007. Here is the link.

Yeah I prefer Veal or Murton over Marshall. I think Macphail may go for more pirching in this deal and take more position players in the Bedard deal.
