  1. Except the small differences make it difficult to rebuild through free agency and the draft. The intent was to curb spending by the big boys, but the unintended consequences have rewarded teams for not trying. The new CBA sort of rewards the status quo. It rewards being the best at judging talent. Enlighten me. It doesn't reward status quo, because status quo is the good rich teams will stay good because they can just overspend on the draft and internation signings in lieu of high draft picks. But that isn't possible anymore. So they will still be rich and good, but will not have that influx of young talent without the willingness to trade away their good older players. You can exploit this system by tanking and stockpiling all that young talent, but most organizations can't afford to screw over their fans for very long and most front offices won't have enough time to benefit from this plan. If you are a good front office that can draft and acquire talent without the help of a top 5 draft pick/allocation, you will be most rewarded. You will win games in the majors but still create maintain value in your system without the benefit of "cheating" (tanking or overspending).

  3. I will double up with Giants if necessary.
  4. Seems sort of typical. Quite a few of them have been also rans for years. Vancouver is the only one that's been reliably good but they missed their time and are poorly run.
  5. I submit that that's not actually interesting at all. If they actually end up with a good team I don't care who they have running it so long as it's not some kind of Bakerian monster. It will be interesting based on timing. If they are good next year, he will be there. If they suck next year, he will be gone.
  6. Since 98% of all pitches thrown can result in a Barney out, any take is a good take.
  7. Yeah the stout run defenders don't do much for me.
  8. i considered that as a hit attempt, it's not really ever a sacrifice with a runner on the corners unless you're having an inept pitcher bunt there It was a safety squeeze, that's definitely a sacrifice attempt. The sac fails never count the wasted pa where the guy fails to get a bunt down and subsequently makes an out. It's dumb.
  9. That escalated quickly
  10. I will leave the bears for the experts and take the jets.
  11. I wish there was a way I could tune out the rest of the crowd at sporting events. The guys who think they know what they talk about are the *worst*.
  12. I can think of three position players on the roster I'd DFA before him easily. A few more that are close. Yeah but tomorrow you're going to like Olt again.
  13. not really, he is taking the year off for health/family reasons.
  14. get yourself behind in the count with stupid foul bunts, making yourself an easy K target. Real smart.
  15. Ricketts on the floor of the CBOE talking to Rick Santelli about renovation, I assume this is going to delve into Santelli shouting about government interference.
  16. Every futbol show I've seen is obsessed with coaches.
  17. Yay for winning. Boo for douche with gopro on his head.
