They let Mark Hatley draft David Terrell before they fired him.

http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/yadier-molina-forgot-how-to-frame-a-pitch/ Does Bryant's power drought make you skeptical that hitting home runs is a skill? Does Jon Lester's ERA make you skeptical that pitching is a skill? But those skills depend directly on the actions of the person who performed them. "Framing" requires the interpretation of fat old white men with GIGANTIC egos and very thin skin. There is more that goes into their interpretation of the zone than how well the catcher frames the pitch.

he's been college scouting director for three years. In other words, he worked with Emery when he was here a long time ago, lasted through Angelo regime and Emery kept him on board. He was just a scout before.

Yeah, I would have done pretty much the exact same thing, assuming White was the pick in the 1st. I would have drafted Beasley, but have no qualms about White being the pick. All those picks 2-5 were easily the best players on the board, without character concerns, IMO (which I think was clearly the focus). And I'm not a Clemmings fan at all. Had him with an early to mid 3rd grade. I probably would have picked Ifo in the 6th, but C is definitely a much bigger need. Feels like the Grasu pick is getting the most talk one way or the other. I love it, and I thick we will look back and wonder how he dropped to the 3rd Rnd. I also think White over Beasley was the right call. I get that you can never have enough speed rushers in any defense, especially the 3-4. But White looks like a potential superstar, and the tape on him shows that he is a hard worker with a nasty streak. Beasley looks like he doesn't get involved against the run, which bothers me. I'm not sure we're going to wonder how he dropped to the third. He's a center and no super star. He was taken where he should have been taken. But there is no question in my mind that the Bears needed to draft O line in the top half of the draft and I am glad they addressed it. Long was the only longterm option on the roster. Everybody else is either 30+ or a plataued second rate guy (Mills). They are going into the third straight year with 4 of the same 5 guys and only turnover at center. They will probably have to draft tackle early next year as well.

you have ladies in heavy wool sweaters and some in tank tops. What is this nonsense?

that's a bit too nitpicky for my tastes.

Mark Gonzales ‏@MDGonzales 2m2 minutes ago Grimm close to being "hatched," Maddon said. Will pitch tonight for Iowa.

BREAKING: Lou Lamoriello has named Ray Shero as the fourth general manager in #NJDevils history. Lou stepped down as GM but stayed on as president. This probably means the Devils will remain somewhat Wirtzian when it comes to marketing their team, as Lou does not want his players out in the public.

Bruce Miles ‏@BruceMiles2112 7s8 seconds ago #Cubs name IF Dan Vogelbach and RHP Jeremy Null minor-league player and pitcher of month, respectively, for April.

absolutely. it didn't bother him the first two weeks he was up, but now it does. clearly. And we don't know what was going on with it behind the scenes now versus then. I'm not saying that he himself has a grievance. This guy's 23 years old and the toast of one of the greatest city's in the world, so I can't imagine him having a grievance over anything. But I can imagine Boras calling him every other day badgering him about God knows what, and there has to be some level of awkwardness going on between him and management. Yeah, because it's in Boras's best interest to hassle his client every other day to the point that it leads to struggles on the field.

I think he was stunned more than anything else. He recovered pretty quickly to make a couple solid saves right after it hit him. he was flopping around for a good bit after the shot.

Yep. I reckon that'll do juuuuuuuust fine. That'll do pig, that'll do. http://mit.zenfs.com/121/2011/06/vogelbach.jpg

I would love some taco salad. Can you grill it?
