  1. 8 points for Sam Gagner?!?!? i don't think i'll ever be able to believe this actually happened
  2. pre-trades, Goldstein ranked Szczur 5th amongst our prospects safely assuming Rizzo's in our top 5 now, this has to mean he prefers Concepcion to Szczur, which is pretty wild
  3. there's something...strange about this picture The Detroit News ran: http://detroitnews.mycapture.com/mycapture/enlarge_remote.asp?source=&remoteimageid=3899421
  4. but twitter also was a little wishy-washy of who won the Darvish bid
  5. finally, a free throw attempt!
  6. i can't handle Raftery's random shouting far after the action has already stopped and Ohio's going to set a record for offensive boards today
  7. 2 early fouls on Sullinger, i do love that
  8. Beilein looks like Duck Phillips
  9. it's been two years, and one year.
  10. maybe we're going to implement an offense that uses 7 offensive linemen at a time or something
  11. we should be able to pick up most of Garza and Byrd's salary if they're willing to give us Turner, Castellanos and Smyly
  12. so, is it safe to say Leonard will be a lottery pick like Demetri McCamey was
  13. yeah, like you didn't enjoy watching Garza strike out in 59% of his PA last year and post a .215 OPS
  14. 15 is obviously assumed, but i'd still take the over on a -18 projection for him they also stand to gain when they get Delmon Young out of the outfield; Byrd (or Barney) is really a perfect fit
  15. I liked it too. Solid article. I would have liked to see you flesh out how you came to the +3 win conclusion at the end (not that I disagree). Are you saying Fielder's bat = 50 runs; Fielder's glove/running = -13 runs; Cabrera at 3B = -13 runs (is that 13 runs worse than what his value at 1b was?) so net is + 24 runs = +3 wins? Or am I missing something? Oh, I totally ballparked the estimate on 3 wins. I probably should have gone into depth to figure out exactly how much better it makes them, but my intent was just to write about why the contract is worrisome. My half-assed thinking, for what it's worth. An Inge/Kelly platoon at 3B is probably worth about 1 WAR. Cabrera at 3B is probably worth about 6 WAR. At 1B he'd have been worth about 7. Fielder stays worth about 5. So 2 wins worse at 1B, 5 wins better at 3B. 3 wins better. with this, you're essentially saying he's going to be 25 runs worse in the field at 3B than he was at 1B, which seems...pretty unlikely
  16. what gave you that impression? they're really, really awful with money
  17. that's a lot of pizzas hey, i called this one way back in August 2010 www.northsidebaseball.com/forum/viewtop ... 3#p2428523 (you'll kindly ignore most of the rest of that post though)
  18. http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a78/nursetpd/PAC%2010/Chip_Kelly_NFL.gif
  19. ok, i'm now convinced WSR is a lonely 9-year old kid
  20. last year our non-Garza starters did this: 131 GS 732.6 IP 5.26 ERA only one qualified starter (Brad Penny, 5.30 ERA) in all of baseball managed a worse ERA than that edit: only four qualified starters worked shorter starts on average, too so...yeah, we're going to improve upon that, without a shadow of a doubt
  21. position U's http://nfldraft.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=539624
  22. Harbaugh, Griese, Grbac, Henne...?? From 2001-2010, which of these were great NFL QBs? we had future NFL QBs start every year for eighteen straight seasons, including a future hall of famer, and another pro bowler; yeah, what an asinine assertion, that we might be a good school for QBs no offense GR, but your biases cause you to make some hilariously dumbass arguments sometimes
  23. rivals predicts where the uncommitted Rivals100 prospects will sign http://footballrecruiting.rivals.com/content.asp?SID=880&CID=1322138
  24. Harbaugh, Greise, Grbac, Henne...??
  25. There's no way his spread works in the NFL. NFL defenders are too big and too fast. why not? i can think of several teams who use a similar predominately shotgun spread passing offense to really good success
