" I'm right now to -- join in with Ken Rosenthal are baseball insider from fox sports you see him on the television all the time. Can Iowa's all of us -- panic king others like Zach are very optimistic the Cubs will be fine. Purcell welcome in hi Dylan and what the hell's going on with my Chicago Cubs team."
" Well they can't hit right now that the main problem."
" I don't know that it -- panic. At the same time it disturbance and didn't play like it over stranded eighteen. It's not that that was the toughest competition in the world and yet that the continued. I'm sure at some point they'll get back on track but. They're quick they're really hadn't been answered. Because of their play is how good really on the cup. I don't know and I have my -- like everybody else but. This season's basically a quarter complete. And it's really even and 20 the panic. Not to load the concerns. And at some point and they need to play better."
" He said you had your concerns about how good this team can be what are the concerns what are your. Your questions in regards to this team."
" My initial concern about them was the swap out of the -- Bradley essentially. If not the Derosa is a great player but you're very good player. He was glued for that king. Bradley is a guy that I -- like. The problem Bradley that he hurt. Now soap or even for a little bit it's finally starting hit a little bit. It's been a Rocky start plan for of course it's double a -- not helpful leader. But the idea of getting more left handed with a proper one into the question of how all shake out. The bullpen the content and the bullpen. While ultimately should be okay."
" They've been to Rocky road. So far and hasn't been completely smooth during that."
" Ultimately they're good enough with Greg for Marmol in the back. I think so but I'd like -- with a bit more help in the middle."
" He's Ken Rosenthal baseball insiders in my fox sports he's joined us via the OnStar outline and can it's. Earlier on and -- well. This team certainly changed from last year he got rid of Derosa. -- rid of Kerry Wood. What I got Aaron Miles he got Milton Bradley -- the first time the Cubs had a -- financial move and a balance the books and -- chase away. Mark Mark DeRosa contract. To be able to afford Milton Bradley's contract. And that's the thing right now I ask myself is this team as it's constructed right now the way Milton Bradley spent playing not always capable playing. Because he's been the trifecta of bad he's bad hurt and distract he's been a distraction at times. Did you make you better team today than you were last year with that with that Mark DeRosa on the team."
" It's still a little over the make that judgment and that if something at the end of the year where you can say okay."
" This worked out it didn't work out it's still talking. -- And Milton Bradley get top of the other great rest of the season. And see everyone else comes around -- let's just put all the on the ground per say. Then you could form -- judgment one way or the other that doesn't happen okay then maybe it was the right move."
" Brooklyn and I had a great year himself and I can walk a lot."
" I'm sure Chicago -- where he's been okay convenient but nothing spectacular. Ultimately. It's just a matter all of these consider coming together and for whatever reason they have not come together just -- I don't like the -- And I'm not what -- not know I'm just -- up a whole thing in the fact that lead the Colbert recently it not hit Ramirez is out. All the different things working against them so those poor start. Instead added there. Oh you can -- wrote it with interest in community is that they've been trying to replace them ever since they lost the signed Aaron Miles. "
" They added Ryan Freel now -- amateur and then put it so they need that guy. -- so whoever might want to fill in with right now Spain."
" It's almost like deporting them but again I'm not going to pass judgment on the 45 or so games it's just not fair."
" I think that we bring up the Derosa thing only because. Soriano hasn't hit up to expectations Lee until seven game hitting streak has really hit up to expectations Bradley's been hovering under 200. The when you start to look at guys were built up equity in their careers and they're just nowhere near where they usually are that's the reason you start looked a little pieces but to me. The biggest issue has been. The money makers are are not performing the way that the Cubs expected them to in the -- the big dollars and obviously -- Ramirez on the disabled list that's the big issue with this it's not whether or not to roses here."
" Totally --"
" And that is not at the Milton Bradley cheerleader that involved as you mentioned Lee and Ramirez and Soriano. And offensively really every big piece that they have. I don't point."
" We don't want reform issue with the White Sox you have to believe that these guys are going to produce to some high percentage of their career level."
" If that doesn't happen they weren't going to win anyway but."
" The bright side didn't a lot of -- people pointed out recently. -- have gone wrong it's -- that -- and -- it was. In Milwaukee you'll find pretty well it's not that either running away so the Cubs can ever get their act together."
" happen things don't happen at some point soon. Then they should be fine."
" He's got Rose apologized via the -- fox baseball analysts and insiders mulling an Irish on. Can you talk about the vibe the Cubs the vibe of the Chicago White Sox he came home and did what they're supposed to do and and taking care a couple bad teams at home. And winning a couple series they go out last night and the -- absolutely explode against. Santana. It what -- you think of the Chicago White Sox at this point given all the questions they still have cool weather Scotty pods can be. There leadoff hitter from here at the end of the season you know who's going to be. Emerging at second base is Josh Fields going to get it on there ever a third base they're still the same question going into the season presently based on the same questions."
" I'm not comfortable -- stopped and I am. With the cub -- a model likeable because -- deterred."
" The freedom not comparable is because yet to feel. To not have track record. -- nick is. A stopgap measure it and he's not overplayed."
" To repeat of the Bible ever been sent."
" Whether it's gonna happen to the rest of the season I have my doubt. -- older. And told me Konerko and dye -- really absolutely productive guy but."
" They're not exactly in the applied faith in their careers. You know to varying degrees there have been different kind of accept."
" Then there's been quite an issue with the foot and who knows where that Colin. And also the starting rotation that we could've done a nice job."
" It's not exactly into that political formula for the news and Richard even. And of course the colon contreras combination where that's gonna go. So I'm not only. There with the White Sox and the Tigers. -- over Lleyton. Played really well and with Verlander and Edwin Jackson -- so."
" They've become a better pitching and defense team -- have been in recent years. They -- have aids related issues and they too are far from corporate. And that's what the White Sox can think of themselves and let's -- JPD and then see what happens here. That didn't happen of course but clearly the way they -- they're right in the thick of it."
" You know the where things we expected the American League central to be a dog fight all these teams were evenly matched but. You kind of mentioned it if Dontrelle Willis continues to pitch the way he has -- at the back into that rotation in Detroit now. You look at that Tigers team they're performing this year I think the way we expected them to perform a year ago."
" And different scene in -- like about it we all of the he's going to last year."
" I would want the made people who thought they scored 900 runs. Didn't happen."
" They were flawed they would defensively of -- players out of position all over the place."
" Now when you look at them and watch them by Inge at third base Everett shortstop -- behind the plate granderson in center field."
" Up a little bit much much better if you Josh Anderson denies the fact. Just execute -- And the the bit about that are seen you that right now. What don't you couldn't done much at the end here they are doing pretty well. -- also from -- in the bullpen the kid Perry."
" Along with -- in my and the way they're piecing together it's working out pretty well. So right now."
" And I'm confident that they're going to be a great team or anything but they're seeing that he could be finding itself. In a way that it never do last year."
" Can we didn't get a chance to get should weigh in on Jake Peavy stuff where's it go from here -- the Padres go from here will he end up. In unit in the National League with a different team whether it's the Milwaukee Brewers Chicago Cubs. -- will the Boston Red Sox make a play form will he finally acquiescence a guy can pitch in the hey -- it's with the Red Sox. Will eighteen pony up the money to guarantee that last year and didn't even have to do that at this point."
" Okay a lot of -- don't try to tackled while about one. Yet I believe duly traded yet at least you'll be traded to -- National -- team. The Brewers. Get a lot of."
" Quite lately on this particular player. That in the media I don't see that the Brewers. -- with the pocket -- granted the Brewers are regret the -- that moment in the very good general manager. But -- the parties want him pitching and that's what they're getting and the White Sox for the Brewers on that."
" They'll have a -- so. I wouldn't of the -- of them are content. Well our company and my concern would be that he ownership rule resolved in time that there won't be a match with the Padres. It's not exactly that the cockpit. Knee deep in young pitching either. At the American League let god do not need Jake Peavy they've got an excess -- candidate. I didn't quite Buchholz in triple latest group near perfect game yesterday and -- to crack your rotation. I don't know that they would be a factor. The Angels conceivably could be and the doctors definitely could be. But I don't know that the partners who want to trade in the dodgers' case with the division."
" So where does that leave. Well maybe. -- looked upon -- protesters. -- we Jake Peavy San Diego the rest of the season. That partners. Are somewhat desperate they wanted to win the money. That -- time he had -- public treated you guys fully understood after last week. And he didn't happen San Diego bought for one thing that can live up at all that competitive. Now they've won ten straight not a good thing not one that is going to confuse them with a good team but there."
" But division which without that god it is. They're taken pretty competitive not not saying much in a way but not a bit miserable there want that don't. He didn't -- at all that suffocate. You want to go only to a situation that -- field is really right."
" Can we appreciate your time is always will talk to next great thanks. Ken Rosenthal fox baseball analysts on the OnStar -- join us here on the Mully and Hanley show."
