He's probably the best case scenario. Although that probably also would mean the Cubs would get a couple good years out of him and then vastly overpay him. Garrett Anderson + good defense is pretty damn good For a couple years.

You'd have to make the argument, but it's completely bogus. He was overdrafted and has played almost exactly as expected for a physically good player with a horrible approach at the plate.

He hasn't shown his skills at lower levels, he's pretty much stunk as a minor league player. And it's hardly accurate to say the only issue is how he'll translate to the major league level. The issue is will he actually be better at the major league level than he has been in the lower levels, because he's got to do a heck of a lot more than translate. He's got to improve. .277 .320 .465

lollll so many people lost money on this one I don't know how anyone can bet the NBA regular season. There are too many games that teams just throw away. I don't blame them either. The season is too long. If you had the money to start you could easily make lots of money each season. Don't bet the line but rather just the who will win. If you bet 50 bucks each and every game against the Nets you will have won 59 times and only lost 7. Say you only get 50% return on wins that makes the profit equation (59x$25) - (7x$50). That would be $1,125 profit this season. Obviously the Nets are having one of the worst seasons ever but you could each year wait a month to see who are the worst 2-4 teams and then do this. You would make 3-4 grand a year doing this but you would need the starting capital. Oh and you could do this for each sport, although I wouldn't do it with football (too unpredictable and too few games). The man knows his financial schemes.

I wouldn't come close to approaching him like Castro. If Castro tears the cover off the ball, he's the starting SS. If Colvin tears the cover off the ball, there's no good reason to make him the 4th OF when this team is already stocked with 4th OFers. Let him take the full year, unless Soriano goes down again, then think about playing him. But if Colvin is going to reestablish himself as somebody worth hoping for, he needs to play everyday.

Fine with me, let him sit.

A year ago I may have said yes. When Orton was the QB, they needed something like TO to add to the passing game, and there wasn't much concern about ruining whatever limited future Orton had. But with Cutler here, I have no interest in TO. He's as cancerous as any player in sports. And he's not good anymore. TO is in full "prepare for his career after the NFL mode" which means it's all going to be about media attention, publicity and keeping his name out there. Screw that.

Yes Please (Ridiculous ESPN Rumor)

Because franchise players never leave their teams in MLB? -
And they are looking at some CB from the Colts.

Millar’s chances of making Cubs improving
jersey cubs fan replied to Schwarber Fan's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
+1. Spring training stats don't mean anything, but it helps to check guys out who you are deciding between. Millar shouldn't e on that list of guys to decide between, but take last year with Hill vs Bako, I'm sure it was quite helpful to see how each look to make a decision. But Bako was the same thing as Millar is, a washed up vet we already have a huge book on. -
Directv? So do you get all the channels in the 600-610 range?
-
He's been out of the league for about as long as Delhomme has sucked, correct? When he left, Jake was still respected.
-
Actually it is probably the most controlled environment of any tournament, and I would guess Augusta National will be able to control most of the circus type stuff by just not allowing it on site. From what I understand, they control everything involved in that tourny and are very swift in laying down the law.
-
I think it all played a part, the act itself, the results, and the reputation. Troublemakers are always going to be at greater risk of punishment, that's how it works. If you do something stupid and nothing bad happens, you will have an easier time than if you do something stupid and something bad does happen.
-
It probably doesn't make sense but I was thinking it was all about Comcast embarrassing rival directv or getting directv subscribers upset with their provider. I read speculation about that motive a few months ago. As I understand it Vs. just stays exactly where it was. Is that on a sports tier? I have all the sports channels (RSNs, etc.) so I don't know what is on what package. It's 603, up near all the random sports sites and just before all the RSN's, so I assume it is part of that sports tier. I thought Comcast was asking for more money per subscriber for the channel, as that has been the case in several content vs provider disagreements lately.

And most of the opinion I've read was that it wasn't warranted. I agree. I hate it when the NHL looks at the outcome of a play to decide the punishment. No question, if Campbell had gotten up and not been hurt, Ovie would not have been suspended. That's ass backwards. I understand that sentiment, but I don't understanding how people can claim that wasn't a dirty hit, and that sort of thing shouldn't be punished. You shouldn't be able to shove a guy from behind into the boards. There's plenty of opportunity for big clean hits throughout the game, and any claims that this is a softening of the game is nonsense. Also, I have to say I don't have a problem with the punishment depending on the severity of the results of your actions. It happens all the time in all walks of life. You want to play like a jackass, well, you are going to be liable in some way shape or form for the consequences of your actions.

Best Motion Picture of the Decade (Academy Awards)
jersey cubs fan replied to Omar's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Actually I expect people to offer something more then the above. But at least I don't embarrass myself like you so often do and have done in this thread. Why are you so Angry? Do you need a hug? This is getting creepy. I'm also not sure how I "embarassed" myself in this thread simply because I don't agree with your declaration that all of the movies that won Best Picture in the 90's are better than the ones that did in the 00's. I also don't see how the list of 90's winners proves movies were better than in the 00's.. -
Turned it on last night for no good reason, just to confirm it was back.

Riggleman: I would have pitched Kerry less
jersey cubs fan replied to Banedon's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Funny words from a guy whose entire philosophy for winning relied on developing pitchers, and then put the entire weight of the franchise on a couple young arms. -
Well, they also need catchers in the minor league camps.

It's not just special circumstances. They paid an obscene amount of money for a marginal, at best, player. Even if you argue that the cap means all bets are off, there's still a budget, which this contract affects, and if there is a season in 2011 there will be a cap, which this contract will affect. These signings have been praised in Chicago, and largely ridiculed elsewhere. I think the proper response is more in between. The TE signing was not good. Peppers was a huge risk, but at least it's for a guy they desperately needed and somebody who can have a significant impact on the game. I'm not all that excited about Taylor, but at least he's decent. The TE though is troubling. No you wouldn't, you'd want to be on a team that could help you achieve your goals over the next two years so you can sign what may end up being your last chance at making significant money for the rest of your life. And you'd probably realize Chicago is not close to the best option for that to happen.

Re: Starlin Castro making decision tough on Chicago Cubs
jersey cubs fan replied to sneakypower's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
In this case there is no point, but in some cases it could do more harm than good if you're spoiling the players opinion of the organization. If it's blatantly obvious that he's the best option, but you keep him down to save a few million three years from now, that can piss off the player.
