He couldn't be worse than Gerut, could he? May be worth a shot to get some right handed power off the bench.
There are no Cubs fans, there are only Cubs apologists.

His OBP from 06-08 is .285. This year against RHP his OBP is .211. We'd be better off sticking Hall back in CF.
However, ...I can't believe people would show up just to watch the Yankees play with themselves. - Monty57

Can't field or run either. Sadly, Gerut has more value right now. |

I used to really like Craig Monroe in his Tiger days, but boy has he been bad since. Makes me wonder if his name won't be appearing on one of those lists
soon.

Brendan Katin would probably at worst provide similar production. Imo Gerut is a far better option than Monroe.

It's about time you had that 'Hail to the Conquering Heroes' song played [at Wrigley] -- Tim McCarver, relating part of his chat with longtime minor leaguer & Cubs 3B Bobby Scales, a Michigan grad. UM's fight song is "Hail to the Victors" (5/30/09) ... Rickie's wrist tendons are so valuable, they have sheaths ... |

I'd pass on Monroe.
and one day we will die, and our ashes will fly from the aeroplane over the sea
but for now we are young, let us lay in the sun and count every beautiful thing we can see |

I'm sure I'll get blasted for suggesting this team won't be in the race in late August, so let me emphasize that IF they are out of the race in
late August, that Cameron will likely be dealt in a waiver deal or phased out of the lineup completely and we'll see a rotation of CF candidates from
within including Gerut, Hall, and Jason Bourgeois trying to make an impression to compete for the 2010 job. That's why I think they'll hang on to Gerut
for at least the rest of the season.

Why did we trade Gwynn again?
Also, what was so bad about Melky Cabrera? Those two moves/lack of moves have me scratching my head a bit. |

Why did we trade Gwynn again?Because he stinks. His numbers are falling, as was easily predicted. They'll be bad in no time. Gerut's 865 OPS last year would have been 3rd best on the Brewers. He just needs some at-bats. Also, what was so bad about Melky Cabrera?The simple fact that he's not as good as Mike Cameron. Cameron has been 1.6 wins better, thats alot over a half season.

Brewers might have to sweeten the deal somewhat in order to get them to take Hall off our hands, but I think Cameron would be a great acquistion for them. Obviously a downgrade for the Brewers, but saying goodbye to Hall makes a net gain. probably just wishful thinking on my part, but... |
