(for me) hitting in the FSL checks off a big uncertainty for a prospect, and Torres has a lot to do to even get to that point; mostly a personal bias, though wouldn't surprise me too much to see McKinney & Torres showing up in top-50 lists a year from now

oh hey our JV squad just beat the 12th-best team in the country, wire to wire

2014-2015 STANLEY CUP CHAMPION CHICAGO BLACKHAWKS
sneakypower replied to UMFan83's topic in Other Sports
i think i remember Edmonton playing conservative trap in OT to get to the shootout where their handsy guys excelled -
does Rizzo have cerebral palsy
-
-
91 and i missed a lot of really blindingly obvious ones i think a few more minutes and i'd have settled on several of these also, i really expected big things from (but forgot here)
-
Russell i think i rate Bryant, Russell, Buxton, Soler the top four in baseball, in that order
-
if these things all happen, we win like 107 games
-
career year for Fowler
-
Pat Burrell, too it's hard to identify a perfect comp, but Bay used the whole field while Burrell was mostly dead-pull so i went with him; Bryant's OF defense is a bit of an unknown anyway
-
numbers relative to league; Troy had a 124 OPS+ ages 22-31, with years of 138 and 150 thrown in there 150 OPS+ is 2014 Edwin Encarnacion offense- as a decent 3B, that's an MVP winner 138 OPS+ is 2014 Nelson Cruz... also, he averaged 3.9 bWAR (133 G) during that time and 4.9 bWAR per 650 PA
-
i voted for him in this poll
-
best / likely / worst -case Bryant B: Troy Glaus/Jesse Barfield L: Jason Bay W: Corey Hart Russell B: Barry Larkin L: JJ Hardy W: Alex (S) Gonzalez Jorge Soler B: Andre Dawson L: Jermaine Dye W: Austin Kearns
-
i'm confident we will, oddly enough, in large part because of the utility he'll have for Maddon in non-pitching roles
-
they're essentially tied, but i'll go Bryant over Russell on the slim chance he becomes 3B Giancarlo

amazing finish to Bruins-Flames: OT 4:58: Goal scored by T.J. Brodie(Backhand 30 ft) assisted by Mark Giordano and Sean Monahan >BOS 3, CGY 4 @NHLBruins #NHLBruins fall to Flames 4-3 as OT winds down. Shot from T.J. Brodie pops off Rask's glove, on top of the net, off his back & into the net. http://i.imgur.com/ZcM2rZW.gif

my belief for likelihood of Baez career outcomes: Alfonso Soriano (5%) Ian Desmond (10%) Danny Espinosa (50%) Brandon Wood (35%)
-
i've read our strength of schedule should help quite a bit maybe it won't, but i'm not really stressing out over it
-
but congrats at barely overcoming an offense centered around a short unathletic point guard and short unathletic center a statement win if there ever were one
