  1. so this started. I always forget.
  2. http://deadspin.com/5927367/jose-reyes-home-run-drills-wrigley-field-usher-in-the-back how's roast recovering?
  3. you should lock this before it gets out of hand

  5. You'd have to be a really clumsy numbnuts to not be ready to man 1B in short season ball.
  6. 4 years at an average of about $8m. Doesn't sound too cap friendly since the franchise number was below $8m.
  7. 3 years? Good luck with that. Yeah, he won't be ready for 4 years.

  9. LOL. That's funny. Having met his dad, I knew he was a named after his dad, but didn't realize his grandfather also had the same name. Wasn't his grandfather the one who played in the NFL?
  10. He didn't really put it together though, it was put together and winning 90+ when he took the reins. He began to tinker and didn't do much damage early on but it's quickly falling apart. Keeping a team that good for that long isn't easy and comes with some issues. He's going to have earn being competitive from this point. If he can continue to make the team competitive then he's doing his job. That long? 3 years as the highest payroll team in the league and now they aren't at all competitive. They suck.

  12. sandoval was already raking in the majors at 21/22. His A+ and AA numbers dwarfed Vitters.
  13. There's a difference between Kyle's comment, "average at best" and Theo's statement of "if you told me he would be." Average at best suggests the likely outcome is below average, with a potential for garbage. If somebody could theoretically guarantee you Vitters would be average, you'd take it because that's a good thing that many people have doubted Vitters would become.
  14. What are you trying to say? There should be no reason they can't play a game Saturday night. "Should" has nothing to do with it. Are you not familiar with the Cubs' issue with night games restrictions?
  15. for the life of me, I don't know why ANYONE wouldn't be. Has anybody indicated they would not be very happy?
  16. No, he's not. Okay, will be. Not gonna matter. NFL went through this a few years ago with the Williams kid from USC that wanted to come out earlier than was collectively bargained. He lost - quickly. Courts are VERY reluctant to interfere with what was collectively bargained. He didn't have Boras representing him. Does Boras have a history of using the courts to overturn CBAs? He's got a hell of a lot more clients already in the union and a hell of a lot more money tied up the contracts he gets his veterans, and the union agreed to this system in a large part because they wanted money being spent on veterans, and not unproven kids.

  18. I'm completely lost about the point you seem to be trying to make.
  19. This is something you say about a 24/25 year old. Simply "not being 20 years old anymore" is meaningless. He's only 22. And he was aggressively pushed along the way every year before 2011. They've got plenty of time to see what he has and no reason whatsoever to even consider calling him up now.
