  1. Did they have beef or something? Oh, his contract? the fucked up rookie pay scale from the previous CBA still has him with a crippling $22M* cap figure, and he's been dragging his feet on an extension or restructuring his deal; he's a loser *or, basically what 2 future HOFs (Revis & Ware) just pulled in combined, on the open market
  2. Baez named it The Masturbator
  3. wtf, that's a measly pittance for him man i really hate Suh
  4. spring OPS Baez: 1.190 (21 PA) Almora: 1.182 (11 PA) Olt: 1.095 (21 PA) Rizzo: .979 (20 PA) Bryant: .977 (12 PA, .182 AVG, 58% K) Soler: .808 (11 PA)
  5. IU basically did that the other day in the 2nd half against Michigan, but committed a ton of TOs to completely offset it
  6. Kyle Meinke ‏@kmeinke 56s Golden Tate has the best hands of any receiver in the NFL since 2011, per PFF. Caught 144 of past 149 catchable balls. Stafford's thinking "yeah, we'll see about that"
  7. yeah, look at all the pub Joe Benson gets
  8. if he's hitting .300 at the deadline, i think we strike while the iron's hot and move him Baltimore needs a 2B, right? hell, they can give us Gausman right now, and Castro can play there for a year and move over to replace Hardy next year
  9. Soler or Vogelbach? I don't really agree with either, but I guess if you're talking best case outcomes, maybe. Soler, but Vogelbach was talked about as a possible 70
  10. John Manuel has said Cubs have three 80 powers in the minors
  11. sigh...bye bye, Willie Young
  12. that's basically the nightmare scenario
  13. i wonder what stud they trade Wong+ for next year
  14. here's a fun article from BP on pitch framing http://www.baseballprospectus.com/article.php?articleid=22934 they argue Ryan Doumit cost the Pirates 5 wins in 2008, with his terrible receiving skills alone
  15. Darwin Barney had a 5-win season with bWAR
  16. per bkref, the only Cs in the 3-pt era to average more assists: Sam Lacey (1979-80): 5.7 Vlade Divac (2003-04): 5.3 Sam Lacey (1980-81): 4.9 neither of them had 10 RPG; so Noah could become the only C with 10 RPG / 5 APG, but Larry Bird (5x) did this all the time, apparently, and so did KG (3x) Grant Hill, C-Webb, Admiral, Barkley all flirted with it several times
  17. reasonable? .230/.300/.400, ~2 WAR pace he can also take ABs from Barney (Valbuena to 2B), and Rizzo vs. LHP
  18. yeah
  19. bump
  20. i don't know if you Illini fans knew this, but Caris Levert was an Ohio commit until Groce got hired away also, he supposedly never got an offer from UI
  21. the prospecty lineup just becomes outrageously ridiculous if you have a fixed olt And also gives the Cubs some extremely valuable trading chips Bryant for Gray
  22. i can't speak for everybody but i have an impossible time imagining Christian Colon, Andy Oliver, Brody Colvin, Brandon Jacobs are going to even be considered in the draft Pinto (76 AB) should be fine
  23. i'd hate to lose the 1/2 day of progress we've all made...making 8 picks
