    Don't we have Packer fans on this board. Where are they? Anyways Eifert seems like the logical pick here. Eddie Lacy would be a smart pick too. Crap, can I also veto them drafting any good players? Kovacs is a gamer.

    I know nothing about the pack and thought I was clearly joking. Can I take Kovacs?

    Wasn't TB good just recently? Yikes.
  5. Tracer Bullet
    Is there a leverage ranking somewhere?

    Can you trade him David Eckstein? I don't think I'd give up Jones in that deal but I'm pretty high on him. Will he overpay if Wainwright bounces back in a start or two?

    Southpaw extended the deadline until 4/3. So truffle just gave the best WC away
  8. Tracer Bullet
    Correct, and no daily switches for RPs. Absent injury to a starter. Thanks.

    Looks like Rondon and Erasmo Ramirez still need to be pulled from raw and bazingas.
  10. Tracer Bullet
    So since Smyly is in the pen, I can carry him on the bench but can't play more than 2 RPs in the starting lineup right?

    Huh? I've said before that I didn't think or understand why the debt was a concern. And yes, an interest rate at or around the rate of inflation is a major reason for that. Seems weird that this discussion would be going on a week and you wouldn't previously mention your biggest reason that you don't think the owners are concerned about paying off their debt before now. Just struck me as odd.
  12. Tracer Bullet
    Your main issue is the interest rate which you're just bringing up now?

    No one is saying that receiving quality coaching is the reason Harper is freakishly good. He's ridiculously talented. It's so obvious, it shouldn't need to be stated. But give the same years of coaching and polish to any number of other players and would they be at lot closer at 19? It's not just coaching, it's weight training and nutrition. All of those things that go into making a 19-year-old look like a guy that's been doing nothing but throwing, hitting, and lifting weights for half his life. Wasn't there a report just yesterday about how older Castro looks? I saw him up close in ST and agree. I was 2 feet from him last year and he still looked like a high school kid. He doesn't now. Is that b/c he's finally eating and weight training properly or is that b/c he's just maturing? Combination?

    A main instructor currently in the DR right now is Luis Polonia. Because Garvey had a better career than he did in the majors, does that make him a better coach? Do the Cubs not have instructors throughout their system that were once former players? This is all getting blamed on Hendry, but hell, he was a college baseball coach himself, kind of rendering the JC coach Harper knew his whole life kind of pointless in this argument. Castro first got noticed in the DR by the Cubs at a tryout at 16. What, 3 years before making his ML debut? You can think whatever you want about whether potential that hasn't been coached properly for very long will or won't close the gap with a polished player that's received consistent, quality coaching for probably a decade before he played in the majors. But continuing to pretend that there was no difference in the coaching or the period of time it was received is just being dense.

    Come on. Harper's been playing travel squad baseball most of his life, including teams coached by Steve Garvey. Oh, and his college coach has known Harper "almost all his life." Pretty solid resume: http://www.unlvrebels.com/sports/m-basebl/mtt/chambers_tim00.html But I'm sure Castro had a similar experience.

    If Andrus actually gets $120m for 8 years, how does that factor into the equation?
  17. Tracer Bullet
    But at some point is the difference high enough to keep the 3? If the 3 guys total 11 and Harper peaks at 7, do you want the 3?
  18. Tracer Bullet
    Baez was just one of the names included. No one has said they won't trade Baez or any 3 prospects for Harper.
  19. Tracer Bullet
    How much are whores in this analogy? $500 and a couple lotto tix may be more than enough
  20. Tracer Bullet
    You'd trade Castro and Baez for Harper and add another top prospect? i would be accepting that trade like ron burgundy YES LETS MAKE THE DEAL AND THEN AFTERWARD MAYBE WE CAN HAVE LUNCH! every legitimate prospect we have is so far away that they're all lotto tickets. would you trade 100 bucks and two lotto tickets for 1000 bucks? Castro isnt a lotto ticket. I'd trade any 3 prospects for Harper, no Q. But a young stud SS and two prospects, one of whom could be a power hitting SS? Yikes.

    Should Michigan lose tommorrow we'll hear about the conference not being the best, etc. However, if one looks at the tournament maybe there is evidence of the Big Ten's excellence. Just look at what Minnesota and Illinois did to higher seeded teams. Hell, if DJ Richardson hits a shot or two they beat what many considered to be the best team in the nation. And Minnesota kicked the [expletive] out of UCLA. ummmmmm... Well excuse the [expletive] out of me, he went 1-11, shoud written have hits three or more? Is that OK with you now? Yikes

    If I have to watch Michigan and duke win in the same night I'm gonna cut a bitch
