    first half: .307/.335/.428 (.763) sec half: .302/.333/.429 (.763) first half: 24 2B, 8 3B, 2 HR sec half: 6 2B, 1 3B, 6 HR (in 54% of the PA) since ASB, he's been hitting a lot less 2B & 3B and (comparatively) much more HR, keeping his ISO perfectly constant what's worrisome, is he's striking out 175% as often in the second half for whatever reason; is he lengthening his swing too much?

    not the best, but 18-6 record 211-1/3 IP 183 H 50 BB 245 K 2.43 (2.47 FIP)/1.10 179 ERA+ at age 22 always kind of blows my mind

    definitely, though neither inspire much confidence all right Bears fans: Earl Bennett or Roy Williams or Danny Amendola (0.5 PPR)

    Brett Jackson's '11 numbers prorated to 650 PA AB: 556 R: 109 H: 152 2B: 30 3B: 7 HR: 26 RBI: 75 BB: 94 K: 178 SB: 27

    Steelers were 6-2 in games decided by a touchdown or less last year. I wonder if that will be mentioned? the Steelers also had a pt differential of +143 vs. +58 for the Bears, which better allows them to escape that criticism

    or even easier, just be 7 feet tall and say you're really good at basketball

    Green's going to draw Haden, right? if that's the case, he's a near must-sit

    freeman got sacked half as much as cutler and bradford would get smooshed and go away forever. Freeman's offensive line was actually almost as bad last year and yet freeman got sacked half as much despite cutler being one of the best scramblers not named vick in the league. this makes no sense

    good for him, RBs really have to strike while the iron's hot look at Shaun Alexander, who had only 5-1/2 good years as a starter before essentially breaking down

    #DustinByfuglienisSoFat is trending on twitter now i like this one: Apparently we've been pronouncing it wrong. It's actually pronounced Dustin Buffet-Line

    Melvin's floor > Colvin's ceiling and i never understand the assertion that you can't put 2 CFs in your OF, many teams are doing that right now to great success

    Fangraphs is placing his value at $18.3 million so far this season. His offensive numbers are really good, but not elite, but considering that he has such a high value and WAR placed on him, I imagine his defense is second to none? I have not seen any highlights of him so I wouldn't know, I'm just assuming he's arguably (or unarguably) the best OF defender in all of baseball? hard to say definitively with limited data, but it's certainly a defensible position http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/index.php/a-critique-of-peter-bourjos-mlb-com-highlight-reel/ for the past two seasons, only Brett Gardner has been graded better by UZR, but it's worth noting as a LF he's being measured against some of the absolute worst fielders in the game like Ibanez and Carlos Lee

    even assuming fortunate luck to maintain that line of .760 OPS (hard to do when his LD and IFFB have been utterly woeful) and +10 COF defense, which is right about where he's been, that still amounts to a below-average position player i want Colvin nowhere near the everyday lineup next year

    lost in the Trout hype, Peter Bourjos is very quietly producing like a superstar player in just 641 MLB PA, he's registered 5.9 WAR (Adrian Gonzalez is at 5.7 WAR in 601 PA for the season) and in the 2nd half, he's hitting .298/.351/.556. with his off-the-charts superlative defense, he could absolutely be a viable candidate hitting just .300/.350/.475

    Why do people think Olsen is the Christ? I don't see how Martz being able to run the offense more like he wants should be considered taking a step back. Besides, the guy barely had 400 receiving yards last year, which should be obtainable with our current group of TEs. Manning was solid last year but is still replaceable. We upgraded at RB and WR (yes Barber and Williams are upgrades regardless of how much of an upgrade). Replacing Rashied Davis with Sam Hurd is also an upgrade. These are just as much upgrades as losing Olsen and Manning are downgrades, mostly because they aren't much of a downgrade at all. Tight end and safety aren't exactly the biggest impact positions on the football field either. Losing Kreutz, Harris, Tinoisamoa, and all the other players listed below them does not really hurt the team. In most cases, like you said, it makes them better. i hated Olsen because we couldn't ever seem to cover him; even if he underachieved in receiving yards, i think you put a lot more focus of the defense on him than you would Matt Spaeth or Kellen Davis or whoever
  18. sneakypower
    Greg Olsen and Danieal Manning, mainly; Tinoisamoa, Tommie Harris and Kreutz ('s pass blocking), to a much lesser extent understandably, losing Collins, Manumaleuna, Maynard, Taylor will assuredly only help though

    Division winners: Eagles, Packers, Saints, Rams Wild Card should be Falcons and one of: Giants, Bears, Lions, Cowboys Philly's going to beat the Cowboys twice and the Giants are already getting decimated by injuries, and Bears (imho) took a step back, talent-wise honestly i think we're about a 9-7 team, and that should give us a decent chance. i'd feel much more confident if we still had Leshoure, though. he'd provide exactly what we're sorely missing on offense feel free to tell me what a homer i am

    Roethlisberger and Marino were both 22 Stafford's shoulder is no more problematic than Bradford's or Brees'

    his rookie numbers would interest me if there were any historical precedent whatsoever; 21 year old NFL quarterbacks just don't succeed in their rookie years, it's never happened

    hey, don't be hating because my QB plays through injury Stafford has missed 19 games in 2 seasons. He has 19 TD's to 21 Int's. And if W-L Record is your cup of tea, he's 3-10. I don't think you wanna start comparing QB's. comparing Cutler to a rookie is setting the bar pretty low, don't you think? Peyton Manning had even worse numbers his first 13 games in the league (2-11, 21:25 TD-Int's), so suffice it to say i'm not too worried about Stafford's prospects at this point
