  1. Stuff like this makes me hate us not having a Hard Knocks even more I think we would discover that nobody likes Forte.
  2. It's my invention, dammit. after I pointed it out to you
  3. The eyes and nose specifically are oddly close together (and just small) for a big man with a big head like his. There is a lot of forehead, cheek and chin surface area, or outer face if you will.
  4. Why should the kids' adviser shut up? He absolutely should speak up on his behalf. because he's bitching like the the Astros OWE him 6.5Mil. If they think he's got a shaky elbow, then they dont owe him anything. If i'm an astros fan and this guy is headed for TJS, i'd much rather have the 2nd pick next year. Even more so because eff all the pitchers. Okay, then if you are an Astros fan you can go ahead and express that wish, but in the meantime it is his adviser's job to advocate on behalf of the player.
  5. You might as well get one for each title. The first team to get a full circle around the neck wins and the league disbands.
  6. That's not true is it?
  7. Counterpoint: we continue using a very easily understood concept and stop getting upset for it not meeting an arbitrary standard that it was never intended to meet or measure Ceiling isn't nearly as problematic as is the tendency for a lot of fans to assume the best of prospects until they have proven beyond a doubt that the best is not happening. If you have a realistic opinion of prospects' chances there is nothing wrong with the concept of discussing their ceiling*. Does not apply to the way people divvy up pitching ceilings.
  8. So would this thread be more appropriately titled the Junior Kyle Thread?
  9. There was a whole lot more to it than that. Yeah, I don't get David's frustration. It's not like everybody gets the ceiling of superstar. Lake was a long shot who had enough physical talent that if he miraculously figured things out, he could be pretty awesome.
  10. Because it is one of the only costs they can actually control without interference from the MLBPA.
  11. Why should the kids' adviser shut up? He absolutely should speak up on his behalf.
  12. The defense, or the team? I could easily see Tucker keeping his job with the defense failing to reach the top 15. If the team itself finishes in the bottom half there could be problems for a lot more coaches.
  13. Is Jackson pitching today?
  14. I am almost positive that Craig Biggio was still doing some backup catching before his full time switch to 2B. It looks like he was introduced slowly to the OF while being a near full-time catcher, but once he went to 2B, there was no more catching. http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/b/biggicr01.shtml
  15. That's what I was thinking last night too. Hope it happens. I was under the impression that Zagunis was the more likely guy to stick at catcher, but he's played more games in LF than behind the plate so far in Boise.
  16. :x Happens every year on the day of the big league All-Star Game. right, but this year our minor league system is awesome so i don't want them to take a day off. when our best prospects were brett jackson and vitters, no big deal. It's only right that everyone pays respect to Jeter's last ASG. Oh sweet, another reason for me to ignore the game.
  17. :-k You have 41,000 posts on a baseball message board. Really Tim?
  18. Baseball talk is terrible.
  19. Why you felt the need to compare it to rape is the stupid part.
  20. I have no idea who plays WR for Miami.
