But he's older and if you can get a ready major league 3B for him, you wouldn't do it?

So let him rest up the rest of this year and have him healthy for next year, when we could make a run at a division title. He'll only make like 14 million next year. Pretty good for a guy who can be a 4 or 5 win player.

He's not that old, only 32. Who exactly is this major league ready 3B? And why would they want Ramirez and not just go with their 3B that they have?

He'll make 16M next year, with a 2M buyout.

No, we wouldn't, he will likely be a Cub through 2012, and the Cubs could be ready t compete again either next year (depending on the off-season, but likely not), or 2012, so I'd much rather have him.

I said older. The ready 3B would be in a trade. They would want a prove 3B like Ramirez and that's why they could make that trade. Look, the Twins trade Ramos for a RP (Capps). I know he's blocked but Ramos can be the DH, or 3B. So, I did not like the trade for the Twins. The Twins need a 3B, and could be interested in Ramirez.

Okay, but they don't have Ramos now, so who will the 3B be?

Don't get me wrong, I would like Ramirez to but I'm look at the future. He just needs to rest the thumb. Put DeWITT at 3B and call up Barney for 2B. Trade Fotenot and Baker who will be claim, per Bruce Levine.

I know they don't have Ramos. If the Cubs did want a 3B in return for Ramirez, the Twins will not be a match.

I just think that it would be absolutely stupid to trade our best player. I mean, we could, but we'd have to get a huge huge return. I don't see that happening.

Yeah, I did say, only if the Cubs get a return for him.

i wouldn't say best. i'd say most consistent. which i guess is the same as best, but at the same time it's not.

It's probably a toss up between Soto and Byrd, but Soto kept getting benched a while back for no reason so his number aren't as good as they could be.
