  1. JordanBernfield On Torreyes: Theo says he's hit everywhere he's been. Above average runner, "plays a very good 2nd base."
  2. Gunner Kiel to LSU, scary to think of them with a 5-star QB
  3. in their best respective seasons in the minors, Hamilton totalled 71 more steals than Pie (yet only 2 more CS); it's laughable to categorize their speed as being remotely similar
  4. if we can sign a guy like Maholm or Francis really cheap to where we don't need Travis Wood included in a Marshall trade and get better quality prospects for it, i don't really see the harm
  5. lol, if you do that thing where you add his steals to his TB, his slugging last year jumps from .360 way the hell up to .548 and yes, in counting his CS his OBP drops from .340 to .307 in this admittedly useless exercise you should; with all these groan-worthy dumb ass comparisons being lazily thrown around, he actually profiles really well to be another Dee Gordon (if you like that kind of thing [i do])
  6. He has an adequate ability to miss bats. career swinging strike rates Travis Wood: 7.1% Randy Wells: 8.8%
  7. So he's Joey Gathright/Felix Pie reincarnated. Wait, don't we already have Tony Campana? what the [expletive] does he actually have in common with Felix Pie???
  8. leaks already coming out... NCAA: Ohio State banned from postseason play next season http://www.buckeyextra.com/content/stories/2011/12/20/ncaa-report.html Eleven Warriors @elevenwarriors It's out. A postseason ban in '12, 9 lost schollies over three years and another year of probation.
  9. another edition of interesting stats* Matthew Stafford is the second-youngest player to throw for 4,000 yards and at least 30 touchdowns in one season. Dan Marino was the youngest. Stafford is now up to 33 passing touchdowns on the season, which is a single-season Lions record. With their rally on Sunday, the Lions became the first team in NFL history to come back from 13 or more points down to win on four separate occasions in one season. From 2006-10, the Lions won a total of five road games. This year, with one away game remaining, the Lions already have five road wins. *only interesting to me, of course
  10. Because they'll make the playoffs? Obviously you're selling the Raiders short. No shame in losing by 20 to the Dolphins. what an absolutely moronic argument
  11. hey, going deep to Calvin, what a novel idea
  12. and just like that, KC finally converts at the goal line
  13. highlight of this week has to be Carolina running the fumblerooski for a TD
  14. there's no way KC wins, their repeated goal line failures today will come back to haunt them and Tennessee's still sticking with Hasselbeck? weird that they don't seem to fear the ignominy of losing to Indy
  15. this Rams-Bengals game hurts to watch
  16. over 6 years? a few. BTB did a pretty good thing on this last year and determined a #11-25 overall (hitting) prospect to be worth $34M in surplus value http://www.beyondtheboxscore.com/2010/7/13/1567771/prospect-surplus-value Callis had Soler at the top of that threshold, and if you figure Cespedes to be even better, he might reasonably be worth close to $50M
  17. Hillis for sure
  18. i love this http://espn.go.com/mlb/hotstove11/story/_/id/7347878/the-book-prince-fielder "The Book," put together by the Scott Boras Corporation, details the free-agent slugger ...
  19. i just now noticed Dallas plays TB this week; as a Felix Jones (and Gerhart) owner, what terrific timing for him to regain his starting role!
  20. how will our pitchers know what to do now when they're on the mound?
  21. using the trade value chart, a #31 has the same value as #54 and #70, together (you're obviously going to disagree, but) i think it's pretty reasonable to say that his on-field play with the Bears would basically only have to justify that of a 54th overall pick, which he more than did
  22. I'd argue Olsen didn't outplay or play up to his draft position, but he's been worth more than a damn. i saw it as, he led the team in receiving TDs three straight seasons and then netted a high 3rd rounder via trade hard to complain too much about that from the 31st overall pick
  23. so...picks that have outplayed or played up to their draft position: Conte, Wright, Webb, Melton, Moore, Knox, Forte, Bennett, Steltz, Bowman, Davis, Olsen, Graham, Manning, Hester, Anderson
