    That's not "only", that's the whole point. That's a flawed point. Zambrano relieved in the minors, had control questions, and hadn't shown a 3rd pitch of merit, but became a very valuable starter. Dempster had relieved, had control questions, and hadn't shown a 3rd pitch in 5 or 6 years, but became a very valuable starter. Cashner has started in the pros, has shown a 3rd pitch, and has shown improving control. (His control compares reasonably with most rotation prospects of his age and experience.) So if you had "reliever" written all over him when he was drafted, mightn't it be reasonable to erase that now? Unless you'd prefer to use your good pitchers as 60-inning relievers rather than 180+ inning starters? zambrano relieved in the minors because the cubs' bullpen sucked and they were looking for immediate help. he always threw hard and maintained his velocity well into ballgames. he wasn't a reliever in the minors because they thought he couldn't cut it as a starter.

    if that is how things actually pan out then the cubs actually have the #1 farm system in baseball right now.

    unless watkins projects to add some power i don't see why he's that high. i'm surprised raley is that low and don't see chirinos as much of a prospect.

    i'm on the phone with milton bradley but he put me on hold; once he gets back i'll ask him.

    agreed... i actually like that they drafted a guy who profiles as a very good reliever if he doesn't pan out as a starter. i'd much rather have that than a guy who is reliever or bust.

    so the team of top designers came up with a logo that's almost exactly the same as the one it's replacing? must have been a grueling two years of work on that new one.

    i was actually continuing tree's joke, so it seems the whoosh is on you.

    newspapers are desperate; they'll take the ad revenue however they can get it. La whoosh. no

    a qb recruit who committed to temple has switched and committed to florida this weekend. i see what snood is saying about how badly it sucks when a guy who is one of the star recruits in a decent or bad program decommits and goes to a big school, where he'll probably be #5 on the depth chart. at temple he'd probably start at qb for 3 years and at florida he'll probably be backup DB or something within 2 years.

    not getting a kickback or anything... just figure i'd pass this along in case any of you are like me and buy baseball books each year. i pre-ordered baseball prospectus 2010 and the baseball america 2010 prospect handbook on barnesandnoble.com today. the shipping is free if you ship it in 3-8 business days (standard) and i got the two books for $32.57. i know the sticker price of the two books combined is about $56 plus tax, so you save about $30 ordering this way and only have to wait about a week from the release date.

    not very good gunslinging there.

    since pretty much every college announcer had a huge tebowner it stands to reason that nfl announcers would feel the same way.

    Because he never was able to grab him? he definitely hooked the defender's right arm. check the replay. I did, he reaches and misses right before the ball gets there. He might've hooked him before, but it didn't impact the ball hitting him in the chest without Rice touching him. clearly i'm watching a different feed than you are.

    joe buck just needs to reserve a suite for him and brett, order up some champagne and chocolate-covered strawberries, and get it over with.
  21. TruffleShuffle
    Yes it was. The one called included a lift then drive into the ground. That's illegal. The second one was later and the second guy got him low as well. basically every time a qb gets hit or even breathed on could potentially be called a penalty.
  22. TruffleShuffle
    there was pretty epic holding by bryant mckinnie on that play too... wish nfl rules would be balanced. defensive lineman is getting held around the neck while rushing the qb and there's no call, but the qb gets tackled and it's 15 yards. no wonder scoring is up.
  23. TruffleShuffle
    nice throw!
  24. TruffleShuffle
    haha of course joe buck defends his butt buddy.
  25. TruffleShuffle
    what a joke.
