    this is so stupidly simplistic; for all we know the city's limited relative Japanese community could have played a critical role (Thanks, Theo!)

    Wasn't this your plan for this offseason only replace morrow with Hughes or something? yeah, for the most part (last offseason, too), but we didn't pursue any of those avenues...pretty annoying

    sign all of Brett Anderson, Brandon Morrow and Josh Johnson at reasonably reduced rates and you'll come upon a TOR arm (or two!) somehow or another

    more realistically, i'd put Castillo=2, Lake=1.5-2 but the rest is conceivable assuming replacement-level bench performance, that's good for 17 WAR, which is right in line with where we were last year where we were 21st in the league on the positional side -BUT- using platoons to their full benefit and getting an unforeseen monster breakout could get a lineup like shown above into the top-3 for positional team WAR, as the A's showed us last year; you really just don't know

    i fully expect Soler in by 2015 he's gone

    it's cute that we had a few guys do kinda ok, but Kerry Wood being held up as a shining example of our farm/player development kind of says it all: he totaled 22 WAR in a career spanning 14 years, which ranks 66th amongst pitchers during that timeframe

    it may be worth noting then, that the Cards win lots of games at the big league level almost entirely with players pulled out of their farm system, or from trades using players from their farm system Did anybody say "don't build up your farm system?" mentioning the Cardinals in contrast to our MLB-level failures kind of misses the point; we're seemingly trying to build a franchise mostly the same way that they have done, but they didn't have a decade-long stretch of overarching ineptitude on the MiLB side cratering their talent pool for years to come

    turns out ownership came through on their promise to bring a Lombardi to Detroit

    my mental word association for 'Pete Carroll' is almost always this creepy video

    i'd [expletive] in his laundry hamper

    beating Bo Ryan is all i ever dreamt it would be, and more also, i'm gonna start calling Stauskas "White Jordan"
  17. sneakypower
    i actually remember wanting Orlando Cabrera more, which was reported first, so i was let down when we flipped him for Nomar
  18. sneakypower
    Lake
  19. sneakypower
    Well Kyle is the "greatest" at what he does. I mean, quantity wise. is that a fat joke
  20. sneakypower
    and he picks Miami...it looks like this was something Ed Werder mostly just made up and ran with
  21. sneakypower
    man, Bridgewater to the Vikings and Watkins going top-5 would be a total nightmare scenario i don't expect Watkins to have a huge combine, which should be a good thing
  22. sneakypower
    david pm'd me, we're going back to these bad boys
  23. sneakypower
    at least the OC hire provides excitement the HC hire didn't
  24. sneakypower
    now they have, no one to depend on, behind the plate
  25. sneakypower
    Since Stafford is one of the best QBs of all time, just like Manning, you shouldn't have to worry. or currently just ok, like Flacco?
