Radio Airwaves Monday- Wednesday

I'll also be recapping interviews that concern the Cubs once in awhile. Here are some interviews from so far this week.

Former Cubs broadcaster and current San Diego Padres broadcaster Andy Masur chatted with WGN Radio's David Kaplan on Sports Central on Monday:

• Andy said that he thinks Peavy will fit into the Cubs clubhouse perfectly.
• He talked about what he did for a Padre team that seemed like a AAA team.
• Andy says that he agrees that the ballpark in San Diego is harder to hit the ball out of, but he believes Jake is the kind of guy that can pitch anywhere.
• Andy says Khalie Greene is not that much of an impact guy but is one heck of a short stop.
• He would not be surprised if Peavy stayed in San Diego and starts opening day at Petco next year.

Ron Santo joined Waddle and Silvy on ESPN 1000 on Tuesday to talk about not being selected for the Hall of Fame.

• Ron said he was fine today but thought this was going to be his year because he was only 5 votes away 2 years ago.
• He wonders why they have a veteran’s committee if they never induct anyone.
• Ron says he doesn’t like the players voting because the players don’t look at stats.
• Ron thinks they should go back to a committee of 12 guys including hall of fame broadcaster, players, and media.
• He says that for him personally that he feels he deserves the hall and is proud that he put up Hall of Fame numbers with diabetes.
• They asked if he considered taking his name off the ballot. Ron says he has thought this was his best shot and next time he won’t even think about the election and if he makes it he makes it.
• Ronny added that he is over the 2008 Cubs season and the main reason the Cubs didn’t win is because they didn’t hit.

Bob Brenly was on Waddle and Silvy's show today:

• Bob says that if you throw Peavy into the one of the strongest rotations in the NL, you put yourself in the mix as a preseason pick to go to the world series.
• Brenly says that if the Cubs trade DeRosa, his place in the clubhouse could be picked up by someone else, but his versatility is hard to replace. He says that trading DeRosa would be worth getting Peavy.
• Brenly thinks that Fontenot can play second base every day.
• Bob says that he didn’t feel the Brewers and him as a manager were a good match.
  
• He says the Brewers are going in the wrong direction moving forward.
• Bob thought that Ron Santo would be in this year and described it as a disgrace for to the game of baseball that Ron’s not in the Hall of Fame.
• He doesn’t know if any one person (like Joe Morgan) has that much influence on who gets in.

My next Cubs update tomorrow will recap the Rule 5 Draft which takes place tomorrow and I'll get you up to date on all the latest Cubs Rumors. Will the Peavy deal ever get done? Will the Cubs make any moves on the final day of the winter meetings? We can only wait....
