    jw but how are you feeling about the state of things at this point? I know you were starting to be down on things after the way last offseason went (as was I) with basically nothing happening, but a some positive things have happened since (in terms of development mainly plus the trade). wasn't there a GM approval poll at one point? whatever happened to those but for the sake of brevity, Arrieta maybe achieving near-ace status, trading Shark for Addison Russell, every pitcher of note throughout baseball all blowing out their elbows, Rizzo's monster breakout all helped me warm to the viability of the FO's direction, yes

    i think i'd still keep Sweeney over Coghlan, who only plays one position, and really poorly, at that

    eh, he still could have done that while listing them in a more justifiable order: Russell Bryant Soler Baez Alcantara Almora McKinney Schwarber Tseng Edwards Yeah, that wasn't to defend him. Doing something to make your list stand out just makes it a bad list. Tseng at 5 is pants on head. btw that might roughly be my current list; i put Alcantara & Baez next to each other for alphabetical convenience, mostly

    if he were to hold his offensive output (.341 wOBA / 115 wRC+), with completely neutral (average) fielding, baserunning, that's still a 3+ win CF/2B

    BleacherNation (Luke Blaize) did their own top 40: http://www.bleachernation.com/2014/07/29/the-2014-bleacher-nation-top-40-prospects-midseason-update/ Tseng over Contra is pretty indefensible and seeing Russell 4th is pretty funny, but nothing else there really offends my sensibilities too much

    he spent $30+ million on two middle relievers to be below-replacement-level! i mean, [expletive]

    I apologized for bringing up the "lol ned colletti" thing without the requisite number of posts mocking ned colletti (3 or more?). but then everyone else's pavlovian freakout kicked in and all kinds of people starting [expletive] on ned colletti. because he's a very bad GM, even though ownership gives him enough money to spend that it doesn't really matter too much why is it hard to reconcile those two ideas?
  12. sneakypower
    not at all. it's just kind of funny to see people snickering at the gm of the best team in baseball while singing the praises of the cubs' front office that has presided over multiple years of garbage. i mean, you really don't see how that seems ridiculous? no, it'd be ridiculous if people were praising our ownership and [expletive] on theirs'...but that doesn't happen and probably never will, here if i go to the store with $1000, i'm probably going to accumulate better [expletive] than the guy who went in with change he dug out from under the couch cushions, but that doesn't necessarily make me some genius shopper

    you see, we all lose the right to have any opinions of other teams' actions because we like a team that is bad at the moment

    and for the first time in a while, U-M football can hold its head up high I didn't see Sparty in that mess:) he/she/it was probably tired from partying with Clark

    former Astros RF Jason Lane is today's starting pitcher for the Padres; he hit 26 HR in 2005
  18. sneakypower
    haha, awesome
  19. sneakypower
    wow, i admire the effort, i really do, but no way am i reading all that Sickels has Soler top-25 and Bryant #1, so i like him best
  20. sneakypower
    Not that I know anything about anything, but Soler always seems too low on these lists to me. he absolutely is, and it doesn't bother me in the slightest he can come up and be awesome (given health) and these guys can act surprised by it, for all i care
  21. sneakypower
    that was Alex Guerrero

    Bonifacio is the best HS girls softball player

    #karma I have seen this before but don't get it, but then again I don't get the whole hash tag thing anyway. I get that you guys don't like Beliema, but he still gets another year at Ark before I start to really worry. http://www.sbnation.com/college-football/2013/9/15/4732470/jen-bielema-twitter-karma-wisconsin
