    Did Screech ever get a Stefan Urquelle-moment? Or was Dustin Diamond just too hideous and reprehensible to ever pull that off? During the college years when the tennis star liked him more than Zack. It wasn't very believable. gold-digging Punky Brewster wanted him and his secret sauce fortune instead of Zack, if that counts

    Shark's probably done for the night, assuming the delay isn't quick make that yet another start without earning a win

    wow i never realized Drew Brees was 6'7

    Drop Harper Add McCutchen

    good grief, that 2011 draft was quite the going away present from Theo: Matt Barnes, Blake Swihart, Henry Owens, Jackie Bradley, Mookie Betts...

    that's nice, so Washington got a little bit of usefulness out of him after suffering through his first 15 starts of 6.15 ERA output, and the Dodgers have gotten a good month from him so far to reward their $13M investment

    oddly enough, Sean Manaea and Lucas Giolito have been pictures of health so far

    have to feel bad for the Clippers players, all assuredly facing unemployment; who's going to make the game now?

    Cucamonga gets NSBB's 7th rounder in 2015 (for Brad Miller)

    if the A's aren't doing things "the right way TM" then we certainly aren't either there's like 4 teams in recent memory that you could argue "lost on purpose", and one of them is currently in the playoffs (as of 1/6 into the season)
  14. sneakypower
    Psh, whatever. Matt Guerrier is so much better. this is a spectacularly dumb post we didn't trade for him, and the Nats did...and they got a season of virtually replacement-level production and didn't offer him a QO- that's about where it ends; this season's performance is completely immaterial

    If you've ever drafted a player who turned out to help you. The A's don't belong in there either. Yes they do. When was the last time they signed a high dollar FA? Scott Kazmir ($22M) is about as close as it gets, i think

    not spending big on other teams' free agents is "the right way" and home grown-core: Buster Posey, Madison Bumgarner, Matt Cain, Brandon Belt, Brandon Crawford, Tim Lincecum, Sergio Romo why wouldn't they be?
  17. sneakypower
    CB & WR depth are still needs, but so is pass rush 2-22) Eagles - Jeremiah Attaochu, DE/OLB, Georgia Tech
  18. sneakypower
    Teams that are in playoff position as of today: Atlanta Braves, Minnesota Twins, Oakland A's, Colorado Rockies, SF Giants Teams that aren't: LA Dodgers, Philadelphia Phillies, LA Angels, Seattle Mariners Building the "right way" is awesome!

    Matt Williams also benched Harper previously for NOT hustling you know, the guy who busted his face open on a fence
  22. sneakypower
    dunno if it's been pointed out, but Baez's contact rate so far is 56% (was 65.5% for 2013) others: Brett Jackson - 63% Junior Lake - 63% Kris Bryant - 68% Mike Olt - 72% Vitters - 72% Alcantara - 74%
  23. sneakypower
    our #2 bright spot is a guy with a 6.38 ERA...kill me now
  24. sneakypower
    our safety depth is non-existent...luckily too, that position might feature a guy also be BPA in this spot Jimmie Ward, S, Northern Illinois

    That is really what the Wings have become. The myth that they are a puck possession team has been over for several yrs. Truth be told the Wings made the playoffs because they sucked the least out of the contenders down the stretch. They didn't have some great stretch drive like last year. Probably would have been 11th or lower out West. Also, as for our great management team. The Wings have 20+ million invested in players that did not even play today, several of them healthy scratches, a couple of injured that were injury risks when signed and a few in AHL. The Wings could easily of had Zach Parise and Ryan Suter but Holland/Babcock were worried about depth. Depth is easy to obtain, heck they had plenty of depth in Grand Rapids. Really good player are worth the risk. As an example, look at the salary cap risk the Hawks took in getting Hossa. Did it cause them cap problems? yes. Did it also help the Hawks win two cups? Yes 2 DET goals were scored in the entire series NOT by Datsyuk/Zetterberg the depth is pretty pathetic, too
