If they do sign Maholm, I'm not sure who else gets moved off the 40 man, or who gets bumped from the rotation among Wells/Volstad... ...or a Garza trade is imminent and won't return any major leaguers. -
I understand soccer10k rooting against the Broncos because he's a Raiders fan and hates the Broncos. Everything else, though, just seems like sour grapes because of a media narrative.

Trading Soriano

Whose/What point are you responding to? He's not. A thought comes into his head, and he has to immediately post it. No context, no research, no thought about whether it's worth posting. Idea to post in ten seconds. That is the WSR way. -
http://kenpom.com/blog/index.php/weblog/on_wisconsin_the_faq/ he sure is defensive Yeah, Pomeroy is a bit of a tool about some things. I had to stop following him on twitter last year because the smug was too much to bear. Pomeroy's not so bad. Jerry Palm (the CollegeRPI guy) is a complete tool, though.

http://kenpom.com/blog/index.php/weblog/on_wisconsin_the_faq/ he sure is defensive I understand the point he's trying to make, though, that the system is in itself intended to be as accurately predictive as possible for all 345 teams. He'd rather the thing be accurate for 344 and off on 1 than be right on the 1 but more inaccurate for the remaining 344. He understands that it's not right, but his system doesn't incorporate wins and losses into the equation, only relative offensive and defensive efficiency, and Wisconsin, for better or worse, was ungodly efficient in the non-conference slate.

I don't really even care about the Tebow thing, I'm just glad Pittsburgh lost, so no boring repeat Super Bowl.
-
Lockout loss was bound to happen eventually, but a bit surprised Atlanta isn't the more tired team tonight.
-
Paul is also a good slasher. His problem is that he thinks he's also a good shooter, and people will give him the shot every time.
-
Ugh, have to get the rebound on a missed FT. Especially when the team shoots 80% from the line. Paul should be shooting nothing but dunks from here on out.
-
A Brandon Paul 3 is never the shot you want. Even if it's open.
-
Not often a shooting guard has a 10-11 shooting day.
-
Ugh, all three point jumpers and turnovers. This is supposed to be the only gimme game you have, Illini.
-
Bulls about to go 7-1 with wins over potential playoff teams Orlando, Atlanta, LA Lakers, LA Clippers, and Memphis. Atlanta again tomorrow, coming off back-to-back overtime games. They might be a little tired.
-
And he's got a lousy slapshot too.
-
A sliding Avs team? Have you seen what Colorado's been doing lately?
-
I'd be perfectly content with Derrek Lees hitting and fielding. I see Rizzo as hitting for less average and more power than Lee. So, like Fielder.
-
Just because I think Rizzo can be the combination of Fielders hitting and Derrek Lee's fielding, doesn't mean I'm overly high on him ...
-
Actually, it's the third time Hoyer has acquired Rizzo. He was in the Boston organization when they drafted Rizzo.
-
Sounds like Mark Grace..... Mark Grace with more power...possibly.
-
I'd have to say that any time you can move a reliever for the #1 prospect in a top 10 system that fills your biggest positional need, you just go ahead and do it before the other managers veto the trade. But Jebadore took it a step further and stole a low-level intriguing strikeout pitcher, too.
-
Yup, but correct me if I'm wrong, they got a couple other really nice prospects in that deal as well. But yeah I'm pretty sure Rizzo was the centerpiece. Adrian Gonzalez -> Red Sox Anthony Rizzo, Casey Kelly, Reymond Fuentes, Eric Patterson -> Padres
-
@BruceMiles2112: Rizzo's line at Class AAA Tucson: .331/.404/.652 with 26 HR and 101 RBI. #Cubs @BruceMiles2112: Baseball America had named Rizzo the top prospect in the Padres system heading into 2012. #Cubs
-
Holy crap I love this deal. I liked Rizzo before it was cool. :( I actually drafted him in a keeper league two years ago.

Castro accused of sexual assault, no charges filed
bukie replied to A New Era's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I'd say we've only heard one side of this and innocent until proven guilty, but in the court of public opinion none of that crap matters, only the ability to leap to conclusions as fast as possible so you can say you came to it faster than someone else.
