    Thayer was saying first round OL second or third round reciever I dont think we have to draft OL the 1st round, but one of 1-3 rds needs to be oline. I think we can be more selective then locking in @ 1st rd oline. Not to downplay the need, but the OL the Bears need would only be a RT. The guys w/ 1st round grades are typically LTs or stud guards. However, if the Bears can find a stud in the 20s, they should take him. Chris Williams hasn't exactly shown he can be a LT in the league yet. But I think the Bears should look at DE, FS, OL in that order. If you have 3 evenly graded players, go w/ defense. If you can get an OL that is graded higher, definitely pick him. LOL. You are fine with the group of WR's that are on the team now?

    Something tells me that if Tommie Harris would play up to his potential, the DE's would have a little more success. Brown and Ogunleye are pretty good players. I'm also not sold on the defensive scheme that Babich is running.

    Not really stupid. The only games being played during this game are Georgia/Michigan St and Nebraska/Clemson. The Outback Bowl will be nearing its end by then and the biggest game of the day starts after hockey. With the biggest bowl games no longer all being played on Jan 1, it's far less of a problem. You've got essentially the entire country sitting on their couches nursing hangovers and/or laziness and plenty of eyeballs available for viewing. I would like to see them try and do this either during the pre Super Bowl bye week, on Super Bowl Saturday, maybe even during Super Bowl pregames, or a week or two after the super bowl, when the sports world is dead. I agree on the Super Bowl bye week or the day before the Super Bowl. That would be PERFECT.

    The Bears need to sign a top flight FA WR (not an overrated Bernard Berrian type) and then draft another one in the first round (Michael Crabtree, Jeremy Maclin, etc.). Hester should not be counted on as more than a #3. The OLine needs to be strenghtened and a legitimate backup for Forte is needed. Give Orton some help and I think he will be an excellent QB for the Bears. I doubt he will ever be a Pro Bowler, but that's not necessarily needed for the Bears to be a great team.

    Great concept, but why the EFF did they choose to play it on the biggest college football day of the year? Soapdropping stupid.
  7. Old Style
    If he wants to play here so bad, tell him to sign a 2 year deal for $5 million.

    Boras is a master at driving up prices to ridiculous amounts, no matter how legitimate they are. Even if his guy gets less than the numbers that are floated out there, they are still getting more than they normally would. He got Tom Hicks to bid up himself in the A-Rod negotiations. I hate Scott Boras, but he's pretty damn good at squeezing every penny out of his clients.

    Hypothetical: Would you rather take $150MM to play for a World Series contender or $160MM to play for one of the worst teams in baseball?

    I like McLouth.

    I sat by Jamie Lynn Sigler in 1st class once. we ended up hooking up several times before I went with my friends back to New York. You shouldn't have said anything, Sal. fixed

    Is he familiar with any players that DON'T suck?

    Furcal is going back to the Braves.

    Really? Because of the four offseason RF targets the Cubs had going into the winter meetings, Gathright is better than 2-3 of them (depending on how many games you think Bradley will last in the outfield). And that's BEFORE you take contract value into account. If we're considering those targets to be Ibanez, Hermida, Abreu, and Bradley, than there's no argument to be made that Gathright is even close to as good as any of them. Why is this comparison even being made? There's zero rumors floating out there even remotely linking us to Hermida. Ibanez is a Philly. Abreu and Bradley are being looked at as replacements to Kosuke in RF so he can platoon in LF. No one ever advocated Gathright as a substitute to Abreu and Bradley. He signed a minor league contract for crying out loud. If Pie gets traded, then Gathright basically replaces him as "organizational depth."Is Soriano only going to play against lefties now? I think I'd be OK with that.

    He's not a Gold Glover, but he's far from brutal out there.
  18. Old Style
    He's not a lefty. [/sweet Lou]

    I share this sentiment.

    It took you over 2 years to come to that conclusion? No, but the last few pages really made me remember why I don't post here very much.
  21. Old Style
    There really are a bunch of arrogant a-holes on here.

    Link? http://hotstove.mlblogs.com/archives/2008/12/cubs_derosa_is_staying_put.html Gotta love the first comment. :lol:

    Where did Hermida come from? And who is better ... Hermida or Bradley? Bradley. But, for the price, I'd take Hermida. Especially if it meant having the necessary money to get Furcal. Theriot then platoons with Fontenot. Good Lord, that would be WONDERFUL!
  24. Old Style
    Not anything major, but Milton Bradley is nowhere to be found on ESPN.com's list of major league players. I went to check out his stats vs those of Ibanez and was not able to locate MB.
  25. Old Style
    Am I the only one confused by this quote? Bradley will come cheaper than his talent level would suggest because of his injury and temper tantrum baggage. Bradley is going to be cheaper than Ibanez?
