No, he wasn't as valuable as the most valuable players on the roster last year. He was certainly worth more than minor league relievers though.
-
The only thing I know is he's a free agent, no idea if he's talked to anybody, but he certainly hasn't drawn a lot of visible interest. He's clearly not the same caliber of safety he was at his best, and his value to most teams is probably significantly less than his value to the Bears.

At this point, I really don't understand not bringing Brown back. They can get him cheap, and at the very least he can buy you some time early in the season to get those guys coached up. Is it possible there was some sort of falling out with the coaching staff? knowing mike brown's penchant for saying what's on his mind, it wouldn't surprise me at all. The only thing I could think of is they feel he's taken his coach on the field role a little too literally, and he's disregarding the actual coachs' words. Maybe they are letting him dangle to teach him a lesson about his value, but either way, he'd still be the best safety on the Bears.

NHL W. Conference Finals: Red Wings defeat Blackhawks 4-1

Why isn't it possible (and ESPN's box score has him at -3 as well)? All that means is that he was on the ice for all five Vancouver goals. I know it's not too likely, but it's still possible. Unless they've changed the way the stat is calculated, you are not debited for goals while penalty-killing or empty-netters. Empty-netters count. Kane's PP goal does not count. Vancouver had 4 even strenght goals, Hawks had 2, of which Kane was on the ice for only 1. Kane was definitely on the ice for the last 2 even strength goals. -
From 8th grade to my senior year in high school I gained 20 lbs per year of just muscle. And from the end of wrestling season to the beginning of football I gained 30 plus a couple different times. I also remember that every year the only explanation some people had for guys getting bigger/stronger/better at their sport was they must be on steroids. I don't doubt at all that this writer could find people who think ARod did steroids in high school, but from what I've heard there's little to no meaningful evidence.

Is it possible there was some sort of falling out with the coaching staff? I haven't heard anything about that. I wonder if they just felt like they needed to cut the rope, no more Mike Brown to look forward to coming back, someone has to step up rather than waiting for MB to save them. But it's not like he was Mark Prior. He did play most of last year. And as a S, he's hardly the most important man on the field. He just fills a hole where the Bears have very little talent currently on the roster.

I'm thinking SS and 2nd are the prime spots to upgrade offensively in that order if there's anyone out there and the payroll can be upped if needed. I'd say 1B as well only if the Cubs are willing and able to eat a chunk of Lee's contract. I'm not overly concerned about Fontenot's offense just yet. He's still showing power. His strikeout and walk rate aren't really any worse than last season. His BABIP is only .240 this season, compared to .324 for his career. There's still a chance he can pick it up a bit. Don't get me wrong, if they can upgrade at that position, I wouldn't complain. But I'm not too worried about Fontenot yet. 2B would be fine as a Fontenot/Theriot platoon.

NHL W. Conference Finals: Red Wings defeat Blackhawks 4-1

The Directv guide says the same thing. I think they were just planning on having an eastern conference game to show in the early slot. Just set your box to record whatever is on Versus from 6:00pm onward, just to be sure. I assumed that was the issue and also that you can just set it up to record at 9ea/8ct for 4 hours (to be safe). -
Sometimes in an effort to teach your hotshot pitcher a lesson about listening to his experienced catcher, it's worth it to tell the hitter what is coming. But seriously, who is purposefully telling the opposition what is coming?
-
Marmol, coming off the injury break was kind of predictable though. Having your best relief pitcher walk in two runs should never be acceptable. I agree with Soriano that this team looks lackadasical and uninspired... Predictable does not mean acceptable.

It's like pitchers, they judge 'em by wins, not wins and losses.
-
Gathwright. At least Miles sort of plays positions where the Cubs need bodies.
-
These guys miss getting the crap booed out of them at home, lucky for them that is going to happen really soon.
-
That's almost as ridiculous an overreaction of cutting a guy and calling up Samardzija two weeks into the season.
-
That is the least of my concerns with him.
-
The .100/1/1 line is fairly unique and worth maintaining.
-
Peavy wouldn't have been a difference so far. The Cubs lineup is letting them down more than anything.

I'm not the biggest hockey guy either, but I think they definitely have a chance in this series. I'd bet against them though. -

The NHL continues to amaze me with how disjointed their release of tv schedules has been for the playoffs. -
Cubs have a 71 OPS+ against him in his career. i know, why the hell can't the cubs hit him Over aggressiveness? Unwillingness to go the other way?
-
Maybe he gained 30 pounds since they worked him out. :D
