" to Carlos. They no longer. That computer work then --"

" He's okay."

" Okay."

" Dan Molina Elian -- Florida has stymied on the OnStar hotline welcoming. In the man himself like black --"

" Baseball expert mr. Steve Stone story -- you know violently our. -- doin' great I am excited about the future -- like Derek Jeter and my love for Gordon Beckham."

" And I'm convinced now that Jake Peavy is here."

" To win the World Series I don't know when it happened maybe a year or two from now but that's the purpose of the trade. And I I love Kenny I love that he thinks -- love that he's a dreamer. I don't know if it'll all come to fruition but just you gotta be excited about a guy with a with a with a vision."

" I think the trade. Hopefully pitcher in there who you know when he LT is pretty good. And as far as Gordon Beckham is concerned. Utility guys hitting 2311. You know underneath -- dead and seventeen doubles. He's given 36 around the mean he's only played in 52 games. And look back at them to play a position that he only played four for ten games and he's peddling really nicely -- and I mean this guy just has. A real good feel for driving in runs and there's no doubt in my mind it's going to be between 110 under and money every year. He figured out quickly what pitches trying to do for me it's all very hard against sabathia yesterday and he didn't look like get a guy that. Good year for a long time and giving up but the caveat barring injury you know those kind of things. You know what I told Jay -- yesterday was that them. Then there's -- young man by the name Yonder Alonso. Who I was drafted by the Cincinnati Reds he. Imagine he'd better be really. Really good because they passed -- Gordon Beckham to take Yonder Alonso. In the picture. Before this fact get a chance to get Beckham I was shocked by the tickets at TI am I still am shocked -- because -- Beckham didn't go over the Sox but. Everything has -- steps. And -- for the guy that could have played shortstop for them for many years evidently playing third base for the sake."

" don't really talk about Gordon Beckham ending crystal improve wrote about today when he came on the scene he said he wanted to be Derek Jeter won the lead the team. The White Sox like Derek Jeter eventually he meant. And a lot of people might have taken at the wrong way or if you looked at the kid. I -- about this why is it that comes across rightly so because of what he's done this confidence not cockiness and I know to be great you have to have a sense. Some some semblance of cockiness but not the type that rubs people the wrong way. I'm Lisa from day one everyone around that this kitten. Acts in the end and looks like he belongs appear even though they knew that the prudent thing was to put him on the Mayer's -- for time."

" There is. There's something about a kid that comes in with the idea that he can do it -- No question of being -- you're being arrogant or any of those other things affect. I want -- get hit in the from the Yankees always. You know pretty. Pretty arrogant guys they're big fish at night just very tough and in his abilities. I'm going to tell them because they want some answers were you looking for in the major leagues. You really don't expect from this they're likely to play catch Freddie Bynum."

" Include the players is a tough economy will compliment yeah and then idiots like my big thing do. -- And I know she's dead -- get closer -- I wouldn't say BR if there. It -- a little -- here that I don't think I'm still waiting for a call back saying god you know a lot of money yeah."

" The Beckham that getting I don't think they'll settle professor Brady but I -- but I -- respect for pretty. I think you want to say his break a little little tired and what he was talking about was. Wellemeyer and that Jeter has made on the Yankees since coming there. I guess you can depend on every day and a guy who gets the big hit when you needed a guy who you want to be up there. When it came down lying and I think that's pretty much put put Beckham was talking about I think he wants to be viewed as. The guy. We want to -- with the game on the line and I think he's shown so far again that he's been our did not think he hit the good pitchers not just the pitchers. Okay it's such a great job against everybody. That Yankee team because you have to. The lead down to the pitcher we face that was Sergio MITRE but he had a big series. I had six doubles and youngsters or guys that seems to be a natural for a for the position -- end of the Major League --"

" Steve Stone you -- to Mully and Hanley and scored -- you -- on the broadcast I want to say a couple weeks ago you were talking about -- you said that you did had a conversation with him. And he talked about -- he has power he can hit home runs and that that will eventually come -- looking for a -- that eventually come. That's that is that's very exciting to have his elements to his game he's such a good hitter. And he's not looking for the home run and eventually that the power will come."

" I think an -- trouble -- when he -- projected -- blow -- and right now he's a line drive hitter and there was -- very good ones who came up to the major leagues doing about changing that he did. I'm Baylor good a lot of home runs in his career going came into the league with a line drive hitter Alley to Alley and maintain further extent there's pray Garrett. And -- and he was a line drive hitter -- if you rather than either of mind doesn't actually go out of the ballpark but debt help Beckham himself and that's really how he is. And he's going to get. He's going to get more power. Nothing's going to get tremendously bigger and stronger although I think you -- it'll stronger. What facility figures out what pitchers try to do to whom I don't what pitches he can pull out what -- he should try to get out of ballpark I think if you remember right Sandberg. When he won the MVP in 84. -- forget nineteen triples making moment he. Then -- president and you know certain there's certain pitches but I can actually turn on him out of the ballpark and junior -- I have to do that. And Denver went from a number two hitter getting hit the and -- that -- the occasional home run hit a lot of triples drove in some runs. Good guys who hit forty home runs I don't know Beckham's going to hit forty home runs I would tend to doubt it. But I think he's going to be a double pushing things going to drive and a lot of runs and eventually in his 25 every year."

" Steve Stone is our weekly visit with a score baseball expert on Monday morning nearest house fortress attorney. This -- show being brought to buy IBM helping midsized businesses. Become the engines are smarter planet also brought to you by Menard and story a member talking -- we're talking knew about Jake Peavy back in the day. When he was being chased by Chicago Cubs and you have some reservations about him coming to Wrigley Field talked about -- golf course being a pitcher's park. The cell is not exactly ball be when mark is having a perfect game he and that's really the pitcher's park but it's a launching better in some respects and do you have any reservations of Jake Peavy. Pitching in that park versus pats go."

" I think it's going to be a whole lot different form I mean you're bringing in a guy from an airport. Kennedy Airport is it is San Diego on the -- says that took place it's very difficult to pitch today and and I won't likened him to the ability. Russ Ortiz he's not giving example -- Diamondbacks got Russ Ortiz. They get registered teams from. No giant in the Braves is that the two plays that he would come from before he went to the desert playing Arizona. And uncertainties when you hit the ball up and it went in the air. They want to be -- to millions of his dollars and letting him go because he couldn't pitch in the ballpark where. I rivals were problem I think Jake Peavy -- is good enough pitcher to perhaps. I just try to keep the ball out of this. I'd like to see him come back and start throwing the baseball and then I one of we personally -- as I know the kind of stuff he has. But I also know that ankle injuries don't know people are saying well at least. You know shoulder and elbow and it's true. But there's been. A lot of cases of guys -- foot and leg injuries. A hard time coming back I would think that the youth of Jake Peavy would be something that was -- and in good stead. When he does come back from a but don't disregard related injury he -- pain free that's terrific effect with the -- and it was great. I dislike it can come back certainly with a baseball again and he's picked up what's going to a contender let's face it at the end of the day. There yet so -- his agent was. Diva and they reveal who -- the trade. He didn't think that he would want to go to the American League or it is outside of Chicago. -- at the end of the day when peavy to step back and looked at the prospect of his San Diego Padres doing anything. He would win when he's about sixty years old. So we decided that well -- go to an organization and the team. That haven't at least -- can't -- wins for the foreseeable future good young players are minor league system. And Kenny Williams did a great job of recruiting. If you ever decide you want to sell insurance. That's but the thing to do because he's certainly told Jake Peavy and his whole idea -- I think he's -- not necessarily saying that. Very -- with an obstructionist. But at Colorado a span of dubious about is okay after you once turned down the I. The idea of coming to the outside."

" He's Steve Stone and it Stoney I view you told us -- a couple weeks ago. That the National League central would come down if you called the general managers divisional go down to who makes what trade and we saw Saint Louis makes big deals that may seem like they're doing pretty well obviously Milwaukee didn't do anything -- Milwaukee doesn't look like -- involved anymore it looks like a two horse race. I'll move that I just wonder in the AL central as well Detroit makes a move for a pitcher we see with the White Sox did it's it's a move that might help them in a month but is going to help immediately. And Minnesota gets Cabrera. What went quick do you swing it well let's start with the with the National League central where do you see the race right now between the Saint Louis in the Cubs did the Cubs do enough to seal the site."

" That remains to be seen like with Saint Louis did having Lugo Derosa and the holiday holiday is that. They're hitting 541. Of the member of the Cardinals boys -- he's got a pretty good job although it felt it was yesterday. Apparently. But Norris is going right from his first originally expected Cooperstown. Because he had a no hitter and against the ball club. Deep into the game and he's he's. Adam Wainwright a pretty good staggering yet and the Astros people -- They can be beaten because Albert Pujols for whatever reason I didn't and one of the is a rare and actually really rare. The 85 for 27 on this latest home stand. And it proves the machine is broken up -- that he is human after all. But Taylor was helped themselves the most there's no doubt about it but Jim Hendry had to make -- move and didn't get the two left handed -- hit a -- in Cincinnati. Again I think we're both going to be very good in that bullpen I think you going to -- pressure off Marshall. -- that wasn't your blockbuster deal with -- lake Philadelphia hitting Cliff Lee. There was two left handers which are worth their weight in golden baseball and so. Did everybody did make a -- as far as the division is concerned and I'm going to come out of Saint Louis and the Cubs in the Cubs have better pitching. Now quite obviously they don't want to get Soto back and apparently the reports and them -- pretty good he actually had to rehab start a couple of games ago got a base hit. -- can move to go away no he's going playing with the Tennessee smoky. He's going to catch and DH and he can they expect him back then that didn't need a Dempster is already -- to be very happy -- Lee comes back. I think this team still has strong enough to do it I still look at and they -- shake my head one of the things that that I would probably like to even do. And then you don't mind yesterday Jake fox and 42 games. Take pride in a 107 at bats. And the many home runs as Milton Bradley has driven in one more runs and Bradley has 250 they can -- he. You know kick such as a lot of thunder in that bad I know we had the problem defensively. But Milton is not exactly Roberta Clemente in right field I would find a place strategic partner who they think he -- A lot of hundredth of that lineup. And I'd give him a chance to play by the way Karrie is having a banner year he's doing 43 runs game and you're looking at the team that has enough I believe it's gonna get outfit if they played just too. They're averages and everybody gets up through their career average. The Cubs should win this for the Saint Louis played themselves 3035%. Better in the trade just."

" All right Steve Stone will come back from a break we'll keep Stoney and we'll talk to him about the the Cubs closer situation what to do their about the bullpen we'll talk about the AL -- well we'll take your phone calls we want to use X forty -- 6767. Miley. Okay Somalia. Let's get back to Steve Stone besides color analyst. Obviously that's Bob brenly -- probably came out last night the Cubs didn't. Carlos Marmol and sell low and behold. Egypt -- those two nights ago I guess. But lo and behold he's suggesting putting him down the minor league could get people called in this morning to say should be the closer after Kevin Gregg melts down. Two straight tag games Steve your thoughts on their closer situation and and obviously the bullpen blows of Marmol."

" Certainly Marmol has had a great deal of difficulty Antoine things that. You have challenges when you have been because he falls off the mound so drastically to the first base side. But he's done that since he came to the mansion and become the major leagues tonight I put the same thing with Kerry Wood in his. Causing health club when his delivery theory was that particularly happy about that. My -- was not particularly happy probably about people getting on him about falling off. The mound is terrifically he does that I told him the first time ever some -- years ago when he started again for the Cubs. That that would be his biggest challenge and find out how to way out of put your -- over your back put enough all of them out. That being said. Kevin Gregg last year had a tough time with for a closing out games. And even pretty good this year by and -- you know he had a couple of tough games against the Marlins and -- can't -- they couldn't have been perennially in this year is no exception of the Cubs outspend the Marlins over a hundred million dollars every year. And yet. Since that debacle of 2003. There's something like eighteen play sixty in Florida I have no idea why put it just seems to have their numbers. Now they had a couple opportunities to put them away and win this series they didn't. Unfortunate part is they're still sitting. Actually two games up in the loss column against the -- even though there have came back and let. -- and you're closer mean he's a guy that Jim Hendry brought in to close. Anything guy who's going to close in lieu of anybody else when you take a look around and you look at it who you have out there that death. That you could possibly. You could possibly put in that position. I don't think that they wanted to do his undoing that right now as far as just some of the other guys. Marmol has great stuff ended there was -- nobody hit somebody just can't seem to get the ball over the plate. Because -- Heilman is concerned he didn't exactly distinguish himself. They don't really have a guy that is the lockdown closer and think Jim Hendry knew that coming into the field. And the guy that he let go is not having a particularly big year in Cleveland and that's scary woods who. A lot like -- has five blown save it and has had his problems doing that so. I don't you just have to get one of those things that that Kim was looking forward looking for a left handers. I think he was working for George Carroll I'm kind of surprised in their effective -- that kuril. He went and got traded to the Dodgers. -- guys who were okay they weren't great guys have a one game as a tremendous amount of power. But I have to believe that Jim Hendry wanted to do you have probably. Use is. Minor league system which has kept some good players and it's it's a little better and people think. And maybe gotten George Carroll in return because that would have answered the questions. That was giving you the left -- that he needed and a possible closer -- he was posing for Baltimore and that being said it didn't happen so you move. And a lot of people want to change -- closer when he blows saves. But realistically. Trying to save all year in four months is not really count all that bad. Kevin Gregg just keep keep any abuse they took a lot of guys do that's. Bobby Jenks hasn't exactly been Mariano Rivera in the last that's a that's billions we put guys didn't take your chance and that's about what to do."

" All right great stuff Steve Stone stone that we love your work thanks so much great talk to give."

" Body type -- with one thing and that is coming home. The white guys -- 35 of their 52 games against teams over 500. The Cubs. Nineteen. Of fifteen. They play forty do little against teams under five hundred's -- in the fifteen and they have left the road moment fairly easy for the gotta --"

" Well that's part of your lips to God's ears but I like -- okay so you don't the White Sox color analyst our baseball expert you hear him here on this."
