  1. but you can put him 2 or 3? For me it's not a hard and fast rule. If you have a really weak system with no top end guys, it would be easy to put a newly drafted player at the top of the list. But when you have two guys doing what they are doing at their age, and with their scouting reports, in the FSL then it should be much harder to just insert an amateur ahead of them.
  2. I had no idea McGwire was on that staff.
  3. I don't get it. Nothing to get. He just looks insanely tall to me in that particular picture. He's one head taller than his rather normal sized wife. And you can see his entire leg. Looks like normal Jay to me.
  4. That's just not true. I believe the odds were slightly in favor of Pittsburgh as the playoffs began. And going into the conference finals, I believe Pittsburgh was still the favorite, by the odds. Boston just demoralized what was essentially the highest rated team in the playoffs. That is why they are on a high. Boston beat more highly rated teams to get here, while the Blackhawks beat a couple also-rans and then LA. Now, the Blackhawks probably should have been rated as a more clear cup pick at the outset, but they were nothing more than equals with Pittsburgh from a national standpoint.
  5. Really? It's pretty easy to see what is frustrating about it.
  6. I don't understand how you pretend a player under contract repeatedly complaining about his status with the team and begging to get fired isn't a story. The most obvious follow-up question to the 25 man roster comment is Javier Baez, Kris Bryant, Jorge Soler, Albert Almora and plenty of other guys aren't on your 25 man roster either yet you have comments about them all the time. This is a story, let's not pretend it isn't just because Sullivan wrote it and it's annoying.
  7. No need to revisit when everybody knew that was the case already.
  8. Paul Sullivan ‏@PWSullivan 9m Hoyer to WSCR on Stewart tweets: "really unprofessional and there will be consequences."
  9. OK, which numbers are the most important and what do they mean for Baez? What?
  10. well then like most things involving kyle, you'll be wrong, easily.
  11. No it isn't. Yes, it is. There is absolutely nothing artistic about the discussion you were having. Nothing. It is mostly science (numbers) and the need for patience in letting those numbers speak for themselves.
  12. I find your inability to cope with this particular crappy Cub season (as compared to the many in the past) amusing. Nobody experiences an individual season in a vacuum. You experience a season with the knowledge of what happened before still in your brain. This is the 4th consecutive losing season, which amazingly has not happened since the mid-to-late 80s. The losing is compounding like debt.
  13. we should find out if 2013 draftees are included
  14. Mauer backhanded the rebound without looking.
  15. Well, lack of upside and the fact that he hasn't thrown a pitch as a pro yet.
  16. Apparently it was an infield double. WTF? pop fly not caught, or touched, by anybody that gets away from them after landing?
  17. It would be so awesome if they actually wound up with a really good lineup some day.
  18. I had no idea what happened in this one until reading about it
  19. Replace one FB with another. And freaking Haugh (and I'm sure others) are congratulating Emery on cutting Rodriguez when they should be lambasting him for the draft pick in the first place.
  20. Figured that was coming. Not good enough to get in that type of trouble. He was a reach pick that was not at a need or very useful position. Worst Emery pick so far. Probably. But the guy taken one round ahead of him didn't play football that year and hasn't played football since.
  21. Terrible draft pick predictably turns out terribly.
  22. Nobody would call somebody who is average at those 5 tools a 5 tool player. That's just dumb. The entire concept of five tools is dumb. If we're dumbing, we're dumbing. touche
