Bears aren't impressed with Fuller to be clear, it's about his recovery (lack thereof) from injury that's been keeping him out. [tweet] [/tweet]

Jonathan Papelbon outright released
jersey cubs fan replied to Little Slide Rooter's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
It's right here: http://www.espn.com/blog/chicago/cubs/post/_/id/40552/if-cubs-are-interested-jon-lester-endorses-acquiring-jonathan-papelbon He was constantly around him -- he should know what kind of person he is, and his standards for what he considers a "good" teammate doesn't seem to fit this version of the Cubs. This Cubs roster is all good-to-great makeup individuals save for a few (Lackey, and maybe Chapman). maybe chapman? -
That doesn't match my memory exactly, but I was also 14 so I'm not going to claim to have my finger exactly on the pulse. My memory is that there was definitely a sentiment that Prior was an incredible prospect and probably the best in the draft, but also that Teixeira and definitely Mauer were really really good too. Put another way, Prior would have gone #1 in a number of drafts(and possibly his own if it weren't for Mauer's hometown factor), but Mauer and Teixeira would have been Top 5 picks in a number of drafts too. They weren't there for lack of a better of alternatives(unlike say, Hultzen or Ackley) which underlines the point I was trying to make above. IMO you need a prospect of Prior's quality as a prerequisite for taking a pitcher Top 5, but also a lack of prospects of Teixeira/Mauer caliber as alternatives. I'm also thinking along the lines of the Cubs right now; if hypothetically the Cubs miraculously have a pick where they're choosing between Prior and Teixeria, to me Prior seems like the obvious choice. Areas of need should sway this as opposed to just a blanket approach that hitters are almost always the better choice. What in the what? Areas of need? In the MLB draft? For shame

I see no reason to announce anything or denounce Lester for that matter. -
you can make a wonderful argument for drafting Mark Appel over Kris Bryant as well, if you are interesting in being wrong about everything. It's not a matter of being right or wrong unless someone is saying "yes, I would still take Mark Prior knowing what would happen to him." the point is that can't miss college bats really are can't miss and must be taken over can't miss college arms because no arm is can't miss

What is this nonsense Logic. Prior>Teixiera in 2001 had a higher ceiling based on OFP As previously mentioned, Prior had a bad combo of Baker, fluke injuries and mistaken perfect mechanics If there's a similar situation where there is two draftees with very high ratings *once in a decade* with the collegiate pitcher ranked higher, I would go for the player ranked higher despite the obvious risks with a pitcher. there's neither hindsight nor logic being deployed here

It took one thing, hiring Dusty Baker. Also him being a pitcher.

Cubs add Chapman for Torres, et al. imb wishes we paid more
jersey cubs fan replied to David's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
huh? -
I don't get that last point at all. they weren't just lining up and running vanilla plays like most teams do in the first preseason game, from what i saw from a couple people on twitter. i can't speak to that much as i only watched the first series on offense and defense before switching over to the cubs game. I get what it means just not how it's a legit complaint.

what a douche statement I agree, the WNT members throwing the MNT players under the bus whilst ignoring the actual details of their CBA including the closed contracts and fact that USSF completely subsidizes their league but for some reason that doesn't count as compensation was pretty douchey. No, your statement. You're pissed that the women's team wants better treatment. You're pissed that somebody said less than perfect praise about your team. That's douchey.

wanna tie me up with some of your ties, Ty?

this is the inevitable conclusion to that topic

there's nothing worse than the kid asking you to wipe them and then standing up when you're on your way. Sit that ass down and I'll have you out of there in one wipe (kid's poop is ghost poop) but stand up and we're finishing this job in the GD shower you pig.

you may need to consult a physician if you are wiping that much at least a dietitian
