-
got ahead of that guy then was nowhere near the zone the next three pitches for a 3-2 walk.
-
this dude works quickly
-
4 pitch K
-
Game started about 30 mins ago. Toussaint grounded out.
-
THEY HAVE ALREADY GIVEN UP ON 2014???????????
-
I think that was mentioned right after the end of the season.

http://deadspin.com/the-mariners-tried-to-screw-randy-wolf-so-he-walked-aw-1552028250 Randy Wolf is apparently available after Seattle tried to make him unguarantee the guaranteed portion of his contract.

And if they are in a spot where a defensive playmaker is available to them, by all means take him. But it would be foolish to get into a Williams/Carimi situation where you feel you have to take a defender. There is plenty of room for improvement at multiple spots on the offense.
-
I think you can draft a TE that would be able to play a ton, a WR that can easily move to 3rd on the depth chart that often uses 3 or 4 WR and 3 OL positions that can change hands this year with the right draftee. True enough. I just think there are diminishing returns on upgrading the offense compared to the defense at this point. That's not to say that if there wasn't an unbelievable value on offense, I wouldn't want them to take him and worry about the rest later. I like the offense but do not think for a second we are at the point of diminishing returns on upgrades there. The WR group is a 2 man operation. There is one legit NFL TE. The offensive line is stable but very unspectacular. The RB has a lot of miles and the QB is not Peyton Manning in his prime. There's literally room for improvement at nearly every spot.

Agree with all of this. Also...hit on the first two draft picks and I think it can be more than just average, which would be awesome. But at this point, those first two don't really even have to be defense. Obviously tackle, secondary and even LB needs bodies, but they are in a position where they can draft an offensive player if a bigger impact one is available.
-
I'm not swing expert but it's hard to tell on one swing from that angle, although the pitch seemed to be low and inside. When pausing it his front arm was fully extended on contact and didn't seem odd to me.
-
I think it is important to remember the Bears aren't being forced to build an elite defense. They need to have a reasonably effective defense, because their offense is awesome and will win games. They haven't acquired, and weren't exactly looking for, individual difference makers. They have acquired several guys who are reasonable upgrades to what was there before, who, for the most part, can make the occasional impact. Allen isn't going to play every snap. And since he's not making $12m you don't have to justify the cap hit with unnecessary playing time. If they can just field a defense that flirts with average, they will win a lot of games next year. And they are well on their way to doing that. The biggest question to me remains the coordinator.
-
Is it Cutler specific or even pre-Cutler?
-
Hahaha...Prisco loves to hate on the Bears. He might just dislike Allen. Going by cbs free agent rankins, prisco had Allen rated much lower than Kirwan had him rated.
-
Probably at least into late December.
-
He's older, but he's young enough to have stuff in the tank. I was interested in keeping Peppers with legit ends on the other side. Now they get a younger better end at a cheaper price to play that role.
-
I think he was consensus better than Peppers and pretty decent. Not a stud, but good.
-
I mean, sure, but Angelo "fixed" the o-line as well at one point. The problem is he thought it was fixed for good when he did that and it broke in a hurry. The Bears still need to keep drafting offensive linemen early.
-
4/32 15.5m guaranteed. Could be 3/24 if voided down (no idea what that means)
-
damn

Wrigley's seats are much closer now though, right?
