  1. Because Brett should know better. Brett's site is Bleacher Nation, not Bleacher Report. sorry about all those tweets, brett
  2. Did Baez have the biggest overall jump on the board? 66 spots.
  3. they'll never sign a free agent pitcher again, but they never did anyway. if you were a pitcher and the rockies drafted you, would you sign with them? what happens if you spend 3 years in the minors doing the 4-man thing, a few seasons in colorado and then want to get the hell out? would another team sign someone that's spent 5 years throwing 75 pitches every 4 days with the intent of putting him in a 5-man rotation?
  4. hahahhaahhahahahahhahhah amazing
  5. http://static.foxsports.com/content/fscom/img/2011/02/22/022211-MLB-Mike-Quade-Q-RATING-JW-PI_20110222100230232_660_320.JPG "Rizzy had a couplea nice swings"
  6. well [expletive], sorry i couldn't make the 9 hour drive to houston for the game, guys. guess ill just look at the boxscore on my computer
  7. jeremy lamb is going to put on 15 pounds and be the best defensive 2-guard in the nba real quick. he can run, jump and shoot, too.
  8. I'd pay for ESPN Insider before I'd pay for Prospectus. got damn
  9. I get the feeling that if someone tries to put vitters on an end-of year top 100 list, someone will just say "he's in the pcl, idiot" and it will be dismissed.
  10. man, the wolves. everyone said williams would be a bad fit style-wise (he was) but that he was BPA and they had to take him because the draft was weak, etc, etc. Now he's been there a year, is OBVIOUSLY a terrible fit, and they either have to move him for junk or just keep playing him off the bench and out of position. Meanwhile, they could have just taken Kawhi Leonard and that would have been perfect but noooooo, fit be damned, you have to take the highest ceiling guy.
  11. I think bradley beal and jeremy lamb will be the 2 best non-davis players in the draft.
  12. hopefully he doesnt get past 28
  13. shouldnt we pull vitters up so he can get his routine half-season of shitty at-bats post promotion out of the way before next year

  16. rose should have just got tjs in high school
  17. I think OKC needs another scoring option. I think Ibaka can become that, but I'm skeptical. They need to figure out their cap situation with Harden and Ibaka, but other than that, they just need KD to put enough muscle on to be able to D bigger covers adequately and not get worn down and pushed around as much by physical defenders. Ibaka is going to get MASSIVELY overpaid. MASSIVELY. he has one skill (blocking shots helpside) and one half skill (sometimes hitting outside jumpers) and that's it. Can't pass, so he basically stands around 20 feet from the basket each possession and sets picks. Can't catch the ball, so he's useless in transition. And can't defend anyone who stands more than 5 feet from the basket But he blocks more shots than anyone in the league and someone is going to pay him. He's valuable to us while he's cheap, but someone's going to price him out of the range where it makes sense for us to keep him.
  18. Hamilton has a shot to stick at short, which already gives him a leg up on Campana. He also doesn't pound the ball into the ground as much as Campana (who has had GB% numbers in the high 50's/low 60's whereas Hamilton is around the 50% mark). I'm not sure if Hamilton has that much more "real" power over Campana, but he's probably more of an offensive threat than Campana, and Campana's speed, which is plus, is not close to Hamilton's speed, which is plus-plus ... and hell, you can probably throw another plus in there for emphasis. Hamilton also doesn't have a fast-pitch softball swing
  19. NO [expletive]. most frustrating part of the series. How can a team reach the finals and not only allow 20 wide-open 3-pt attempts per game but ALSO allow 20 wide-open layups per game? Half of Miami's possessions ended with at least four thunder defenders wandering around looking at each other like who was supposed to guard that guy? shockingly, we still could have won at least the first three games. it probably would have been the worst finals performance by a winning team in history.
  20. a heavy, heavy burtation
  21. LeBron bodies durant out past the 3-point line for a quarter and durant gives up and floats around for the next 36 minutes.
  22. Can you imagine if Lebron had two straight soft-ass games like Durant's put up in games 3 and 4? Skip Bayless would immolate himself.
  23. I hope he really is starving. He probably has some leftover chili ahahahhahahahh excellent
  24. he doesn't look one day older
