    wow, Lions traded a TE they were expected to cut for Alphonso Smith, who Denver spent a first round pick on last year

    T.J. Houshmandzadeh got released, i can see Carroll becoming the reincarnation of Spurrier the Broncos also cut Jarvis Green six months after giving him $20M, complete lunacy

    seems like it'd be easy to stop a team that can't throw over 10 yards downfield, but fortunately Conn isn't having any success with it

    hardly he's actually in the top-10 for all of baseball in frequency of doubles & triples hit. he's not hitting HR yet, but he's a skinny 20 year old, give it time. what's important is he's definitely showing a real XBH ability coupled with a high contact rate. he's awesome.

    BtBS also had a write-up on his accomplishments so far (albeit using pretty arbitrary criteria)

    Avril's looked awesome in the preseason, i think you'll see him in the backfield a bunch. the whole DL play should be really strong the back seven's pretty gnarly though, which isn't helped at all right now by nagging ailments to Levy, Delmas and Wade's club hand
  7. sneakypower
    i don't think they have much of a choice, with Butler sticking at 1B and Myers probably slotted for DH
  8. sneakypower
    i think it's gotta be Moustakas

    of course Cargo's doing dismally on the road, there's the constant adjustment of facing fastballs with movement after being spoiled by the Coors effect of straightening out fastballs. it's impossible to say for sure whether he'd be able to adapt in a totally different hitting environment, but it's ignorant and lazy to quickly dismiss what he's done as a Coors fluke (Holliday's putting up a .900 OPS yet again) this study does a fantastic job of summing up the Coors effect

    i'm a big KF fan, but i think it also has to be considered that he's been shielded from quite a few of the better lefties we've faced this year
  11. sneakypower
    i love SF, ATL, MIA and DET for those lines
  12. sneakypower
    this is the most excited i've ever been for a Lions team i'm getting all emotionally invested in bubble guys like Paul Pratt, Landon Cohen, DeDe Dorsey. the game last night was must-see viewing in the sneaky household, for crying out loud it's really pretty sad
  13. sneakypower
    i forget who it was but in a prospects chat i remember Smith getting Joe Randa/David Bell comparisons, which would be pretty cool
  14. sneakypower
    half of those things aren't even douchey
  15. sneakypower
    Volstad's 6'7, he should have had Morgan in a Nolan Ryan headlock or something
  16. sneakypower
    Bagwell was so f'in awesome
  17. sneakypower
    oof, not a good day for the Lilly trade
  18. sneakypower
    haha yeah, Suh ragdolling Delhomme was for sure the highlight of the game, and Best looked awesome in both plays they left him in for, gaining like 55 yards between the two before Schwartz felt pity on Cleveland if we had anything better than just Delmas, Levy & junk in the back 7 i'd be real giddy about our chances this year
  19. sneakypower
    for a few seconds i honestly thought this post was about Votto good ole DB...
  20. sneakypower
    no jamaal charles on that team, so i don't like it
  21. sneakypower
    you'd have to be on hard drugs to think the two are comparable
  22. sneakypower
    the upside to a platoon is having it work out sorta ok for a year, whereas the upside for Hawpe is you could have a great cheap solution for 1B for awhile and a very valuable asset anybody this side of [expletive] Mike Piazza can field 1B ok. the Colorado thing means he won't be spoiled as much with non-moving fastballs and we can drop our expected line of his slightly. his baseline skills haven't eroded, so he's nearly as safe a bet as there is in baseball to hit pretty well (which isn't saying much, there really are very few safe bets and this statement could have been used for Aramis a few months ago)
  23. sneakypower
    well i had been using thefootballknowitall but then that site got abandoned
  24. sneakypower
    wait is that the Alex Sanchez, who played for the Tigers and always had more CS than BBs? if so, i hated that guy; his routes in the OF were like a little girl running from a bee
  25. sneakypower
    nothing against Dunn, but if you consider we're going to need like $40-50M to acquire his services when we let a guy with a .902 OPS the last four seasons get away, signing just a milb deal, it just makes no sense at all (assuming we target Dunn hard, which seems likely to be our #1 offseason priority) i understand it sounds like i'm jumping to a few conclusions here, but my general point is i think we let a great opportunity pass us by
