  1. And, given how it's ridiculously obvious how many guys are using, how come relatively nobody is busted or even accused in the NFL? The other major sports must LOVE how all of the PED-heat is on baseball.
  2. Helly hell, they DO have to field a team next year.
  3. Which sinus cavity? I've got something similar in the sinus cavity in my left cheek and I've always be apprehensive about any kind of surgery.
  4. Pro Sports Daily? Why does that surprise you at all? I literally just picked a post at random and got this (about Junior Lake):
  5. Closest one I could find to him flaunting that nonsense in everyone's faces.
  6. http://assets.nydailynews.com/polopoly_fs/1.1406178.1374539350!/img/httpImage/image.jpg_gen/derivatives/landscape_635/rodgers-tweet-web.jpg That'd be $39.5mil. Oh, no, that was technically LAST season's salary he was promising at the time, sooooooooooo...
  7. Do you realize how that Puig was at like 2 WAR in the month that led to that campaigning? It wasn't undeserved. The point is that it was a month. Guys don't get voted to the All Star game for a great April, which is essentially what would have happened had Puig been voted in. It would have been dumb. I wouldn't have cared and didn't even watch the game, but it would have been dumb. Wrong challenge, man: http://www3.pictures.zimbio.com/gi/Bryan+Lahair+Chicago+Cubs+Photo+Day+JJCgero64gLl.jpg
  8. A mid-level prospect is pretty only acceptable if the Yankees are picking up a bug chunk of his salary.
  9. This guy somehow both gets things and is WHOOSH-ed by them at the same time.
  10. Not really. They have annoying players and an annoying fanbase. I'll root for Garza though. They do? :-k Come on, he's a Cubs fan in New York...of course he has to deal with them ALL THE TIME. Close friend of mine is a Rangers fan. I've heard the fanbase has generally become self-entitled by their success in recent years. I'm a Cubs fan and I promise you that 99% of the Cubs' fanbase is terrible.

  13. He's about 100 points above that line.
  14. PCL average last year was .278/.345/.430 National League average was .254/.318/.400 That's already 55 points right there. That doesn't even account for the normal loss in numbers from jumping up to the majors, or the thought that power hitters tend to have even more inflated numbers in the PCL than the averages would suggest. Vitters' MLE equivalent last year was .253/.291/.409. Not awful for a solid third baseman. Pretty bad for a corner OF or a bad defensive third baseman. The odds of him hitting anywhere near an .800 OPS in major league action are pretty low still, although the limited action this year has some encouraging signs of continued progress. Exactly. Thanks for putting it better than I could have.
  15. Braun is feeling all like this: http://www.csnbayarea.com/sportsnetBayArea/thumbnails/Sportsnet_-_Pacific_Associates/932/923/7.11_RYAN_BRAUN_GIANTS_PITC_1500MP4_640x360_2051025377.jpg But I'm felling all like this: http://citymedia.avclub.com/images/368/368857/16x9/627.jpg
  16. If he gets to .900 in AAA, that would put his career AAA OPS at .900, too, which would be in 500-600 PAs, not really a small window. Wait, if he makes it to a .900 OPS this one season it somehow makes his career AAA OPS .900? How the hell does that work? Sorry, meant to say close or ish. I guess...look, I just don't find that all that impressive given his supposed pedigree and how he needs to offset his defensive abilities. Just to keep it in house, David DeJesus managed a .900-ish OPS in the PCL, too. And Vitters doesn't have the defense.
  17. Someone explain him. College SP who moved very fast through their system with solid, but unspectacular numbers. Has filled in the MLB rotation this year and gotten battered around a bit. Still projects as a SP?

  19. Yeah, the bar for excellence is probably above what Rizzo did. Not sure what the point is on that one. Really? A guy hitting over 1.000 isn't a better example of "excelling" than a guy with serious defensive problems hitting in the .800's? Rizzo obviously was a better example of a player excelling at AAA than Vitters. Which was my point.

Please don't make this yet another example of "jersey unleashes a semantics vendetta."
