  1. Isn't it mostly about the fact that he's done well playing at high levels for his age? That's certainly part of it but but lots of players perform well early but are never able to build on that success. Dopirak for example was seen as a guy that may have trouble adjusting as he climbed the ladder and that turned out to be true. With Castro he has skills that could still be developed. That's the complete opposite of what I said. He's done well at advanced levels for his age. Dopirak was mediocre in short season and low A ball at 19, Castro was successful in high A and AA at 19. It's not at all the same thing.
  2. He makes his money based off his image. He doesn't need to do anything. But if he wants to continue the life of a professional golfer with tens of millions of dollars a year in non-golf tournament winnings, he should strongly consider doing something.

  4. I don't quite understand why the hearings have to be in Florida. Since they are planning these for late February, when players are arriving at spring training, doesn't it make much more sense to have hearings in Florida and Arizona?
  5. A few of those guys have minor league deals, which I think gives guys like Fuld the inside track, since he's out of options, correct? Tracy can be saved in AAA as Ramirez insurance and unless he has release clause in his contract, he should be kept there for as long as necessary. The rest of that group is fairly useless.
  6. ... Think about it for 2 seconds. It has nothing to do with what anyone thinks he can still do as a player. I assume you are talking about an expiring contract. But what are the chances that the Bulls don't actually end up signing a good free agent and then just go ahead and resign McGrady in the offseason if they make a trade? That would scare me if I were a fan and they were talking about trading for such a guy.
  7. I spoilered that for the sake of the 75 year olds who want to watch it on tape delay, but I'm going to detag it shortly.
  8. you are really lazy if you couldn't bother to find the 2nd bulletpoint on the site that links to: http://koreabaseball.blogspot.com/2010/02/cubs-ink-another-korean-prospect.html
  9. http://deadspin.com/5474003/tiger-woods-will-apologize-explain-himself-on-friday-to-friends-and-pool-of-reporters you beat me to it
  10. I'll take the Giants to form a monopoly on New Jersey football teams.
  11. I would like to bang Scarlett Johansson but I'm not likely to get the chance. Ted Lilly saying he would like to be ready on Opening Day is kind of meaningless.
  12. Sometimes, if you have the hammer and a chance to score 1, you will choose to clear the house and not score any points, so that you can keep the hammer and aim for a bigger score in the next end. Oh, so going last isn't a rotating thing, but rather a who didn't score last thing.
  13. Scary German lady with a big last toss to take 3 points. I want curling rinks installed in every county in the country, this is a sport we should dominate.
  14. How is it still 1-1 in the 5th end of the women's curling match? Don't they usually score at least one point an end?
  15. I'm not sure if this would work, but I'd rather get Ray Allen than keep TMac. If we were to sign Bosh, a starting 5 of DRose, Allen, Deng, Bosh, Noah looks pretty damn tough to me. Allen would give us a shooter to keep the defense honest and open things up for Rose and Bosh. I agree with this. I'd rather get a guy that has a better track record health wise. Also rather have a guy that is familiar with being a role player and would be ok not being the star. I don't know that TMac could handle that role. Is the point of this trade talk actually getting the right player? Or is it more about getting the right contract? I don't see why a team as mediocre as the Bulls would trade for any of these has beens unless it was strictly for the expiring contract. If the player actaully does well and sticks around don't you run the risk of falling for the same thing they did last year when they got Salmons and thought they discovered something when in fact they were just still the same old below average team?
  16. I don't even allow Hanley's name to come into the discussion when thinking about Castro's future, but I'm not sure why he's being compared to Izturis and other midgets that aren't really anything like Castro.
  17. this has been a pretty sloppy game, it's as if the ice is in terrible condition.
  18. that was an ugly goal
  19. I like how you say voila as if it's a great way to show their broadcast schedules. Their website is atrocious.
  20. but obama is pulling for Indonesia
  21. Say hello to my little friend.
  22. usa usa usa !!!
  23. It seems to me a seperate issue from the rest of the changes. Perhaps something happened over the past month that caused Angelo to lose trust in the guy, like leaking news about the coaching hires or getting in the way of those hires, and/or getting in the way of potential moves the team wants to make.
