  1. You say "get rid of Cashner" as though that was a plus in and of itself.
  2. Holy crap, Lahair is seriously going to be the starting 1B isn't he?
  3. cates was a 3rd round pick of SD in 2010 out of a CC in Texas
  4. http://www.baseball-reference.com/minors/player.cgi?id=cates-002zac Zach Cates
  5. I think that's how I feel about it as well. A poor man's version of my Tex over Prior opinion.
  6. a guy in my office just emailed a seperate link, that happened in a hurry.
  7. Wow. Looks like it's close to happening Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe reports that the Cubs are close to re-signing Kerry Wood to a one-year deal. Was he spotted at Fenway?
  8. What idiots said the bolded? Yes, obviously most QBs are too risky for top 15. There might be 2 each year that are worth it. RBs should go lower, but there are elite talents out there that are worth a 1st round pick, and even a top of the 1st. It's the Ricky Williams and Cedric Benson types that aren't worth top of the 1st picks in this football environment. You really want a dynamic bck there. Not an old fashioned work horse. Top notch offensive tackles should easily go top 10. Elite LB can go there as well.
  9. 2 He is signed through 2013. So any extension talk should start this offseason and be decided by next winter. Going into 2013 without an extension would be horrible.
  10. Martz's system is designed to get guys like Forte the type of season he had under Martz, which was better than anything he did without Martz and will probably be better than he does in a different system from Martz. I hate it because everything about Mike Tice screams dumb jock. I hate it because it's almost certainly a short-term bandaid that will simply delay Cutler's development. I hate it because it increases the chances that the Bears end up wasting their opportunity to win with a franchise quarterback, perhaps pushing him out the door.
  11. If the Bears are going to be deliberate with the GM search, and not aggressively go after the guy they want, maybe he didn't want to risk it.
  12. They can each suggest a play and Jay can pick which one to use.
  13. It all depends on who the QB coach is.
  14. Oh yeah, he isn't a 200 IP guy anyway. But there's a difference between a 29-30 start 180-190 IP guy and a 130 IP guy who has as many appearances out of the bullpen as he does as a starter.
  15. Dammit. This is turning into a really crappy week.
  16. http://www.duluthnewstribune.com/event/article/id/219175/group/homepage/ Fred took this news hard. http://www.duluthnewstribune.com/media/full/jpg/2012/01/06/semi.jpg
  17. Certainly makes it hard to try and make excuses.
  18. I still look at this recent decrease in IP as something the coaching staff caused unnecessarily with the move to the bullpen, and the management made worse with an overreaction. The performance is down as well, but the lack of IP is as much a Cubs problem as a Zambrano problem, if not more.
  19. Yeah, if it doesn't work well, it's a complete band-aid. If it does work well, it could be a bridge to the future. The Bears are good enough to be playoff contenders next year. And if they are, maybe Tice has one year in this role then he's back into the potential head coach candidate list, college or pro, and his 2nd in command takes over. It's not automatically a disaster, depending on who that passing game coordinator is.
  20. If he was my brother-in-law or something I'd always look at him sideways, but as a baseball player I'll never meet, if it does fall into that category I don't think I'll have much problem hoping he does well on the baseball field.
  21. i think i'm going to be sick. where would the Catholic church be without the Popes? i'm wondering if tice will be handling the day-to-day side while the other guy handles the big picture stuff. If the "passing game coordinator" is some legit up and coming QB coach who can work well with Jay, I'm okay with it. If its' just some Terry Shea clone working on some knockoff version of the Martz system, I'll be completely disappointed.
