  1. This is absolutely nuts and kinda horrifying. Starting to sound like a House episode: http://www.wsbtv.com/news/news/local/family-former-braves-pitcher-tommy-hanson-coma-has/npKK8/
  2. RIP Tommy Hanson
  3. And this account tweeted it 5 hours before anyone else...and it's the twitter account's only tweet... [tweet]https://twitter.com/Cferrel37813661/status/663777281815552001[/tweet] ESPN now running the story
  4. Jose Reyes was arrested for domestic abuse in Hawaii. He allegedly grabbed his wife by the throat and threw her into a sliding glass door so [expletive] him very much.
  5. Man Langford is fun
  6. I'd say that tends to be the general consensus. I referred to him as a tier two alternative above for such reasons. That said, it sounds like he could be a really good 3 with the outside possibility for being a 2 type guy. Depeding on the money, he's potentially a nice alternative to your Samardzija/Brett Anderson types.
  7. All the foreign player threads! Seriously though, this one is a much more realistic fit for the Cubs, especially with their expressed desire to add some quality pitching this offseason. For those of you who don't remember, he was almost posted last year but was ultimately retained by the Hiroshima Carp. He makes a ton of sense if the scouts like what they see as he will of course only cost money and depending on where the bidding ends up, offer a draft pick free alternative to a lot of the tier 2 pitchers out there. And the rotoworld blurb with a nice stats summary: Lastly, his B-Ref page, as I had not realized they did the Japanese leagues as well. Pretty nifty: http://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.cgi?id=maeda-001ken
  8. An unlikely fit for the Cubs, but they are also weirdly one of the few teams not yet eliminated from winning the bidding. The winning bid was 12.85 million USD and should be announced today. He hit over 100 HR combined over his last two seasons in Korea and is 28. Also, he did this, which is fantastic and deserves it's own thread to begin with. Hang in there, miserable left cheerleader.
  9. Candelario has a nice first AB in the all star game
  10. https://twitter.com/iamjoonlee/status/662770042866671616
  11. Darren McFadden or Jonathan Stewart as RB2?
  12. We're assuming Dexter gets a QO right?
  13. Regardless of positioning, what an absolutely fantastic Top 15 to have after graduating all the names they did last year.
  14. Props to the Royals. They were one hell of a team all year long.
  15. Contreras hit his 3rd HR of the AFL today. Gonna be real fun to see what he can do in Iowa next year.
  16. Your expectations were to make the NLCS this year?
  17. And again, there are very conflicting reports. ESPN and their reporters are saying he knows. It could just be that this team rep that talked to the WaPo guy didn't know he had found out elsewhere.
  18. I'm still hoping Enrique Rojas got it right and he knows.
  19. [expletive], its true
  20. jesus christ he might be like the only person there who doesnt know at this point
  21. oh my god what
  22. Also, is Drew Brees hurt?
  23. Ran mostly fine for me although the video quality dipped now and then.
