Bears Offseason Thread (Trestman new HC, pg 37)
jersey cubs fan replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Other Sports
Great last 1st rounder by Angelo The funny thing is it was a widely lauded, relatively safe pick, unlike some of Angelo's other first rounders. I really was hoping for more than a 6th. Could always have kept him as a swing guard/tackle. This sounds like a deal him for the sake of dealing him deal, which I don't like. It's easy for a new GM/HC with no actual ties to the player to throw him away for something like a 6th. If he stabilizes his career there they can still just throw out some gibberish about how "it just wouldn't have worked out here." Carimi has been a disappointment, but this is not a line that is overstuffed with sure things, they could have used the depth at the very least. -
Re: Chicago Blackhawks 2013 Playoffs

I wouldn't call everybody below that group a role player. And those won't all stay in the same spot forever. Gretzky, jagr, messier. They all moved. Crosby is probably a lock to not move, but ovi is a weirdo on a poorly run team. Who knows with him. I'd day yes, there is a lot of movement. And it's not just one last team at the end of a career. Just look at hossa. His story is normal. -
If you are going to hate on the non first rounders then don't hedge and only list 3-10. And don't just list guys who became useful major leaguers, what about guys used in trades for useful players? The point is the cubs just stocked a pitching thin system with college arms. And for Christs sake stop acting like you are breaking news here. Everybody know the attrition rates. Everybody know a top 10 isn't going to produce all major leaguers, let alone the top 30. The cubs added players that added to the organization.

No, it makes me ill to see it in print.

I believe he is black. And I believe the name is Charcer, which does sound like something some redneck would name their kid.

Sounds like a typical 18 year old athlete who is just realizing he's not a superstar. eh, being drafted will only encourage him if he was going to juco and not getting a football scholarship and only taken in the 9th round, I'm guessing it's been a somewhat humbling year.

That's the good thing about this year, whatever happens there won't have to be a firesale. Saad stepped up this year. A new guy will need to step up next year. That's the only way it's going to work with so much high-priced talent on this team. We can't keep the $3-4 million role players. And that's okay as long as the younger guys do progress and the team continues to draft well. I look forward to seeing Teravainen in a few years. So, as a relatively new hockey fan, I've wondered this....is the NHL happy with the amount of movement of players in the league? Subjectively, it seems like more than any other sport, player movement is a given. I don't think there's many/any players that play for a single team their whole careers. And I suppose that's true in a lot of other sports, but it seems especially rare in hockey. Movement is the norm, but you do have guys like Datsyuk and Brodeur who have been in the same spot forever. It's the one sport that combines the ability for some guys to come in at 18/19 and play right away, plus becoming a free agent very early. They NHL seems much more interested in dividing up the revenue between owners and players than limiting player movement. -
here's his football video. Can't find any info on college commitment

playoff heroes routinely sign bloated contracts when their playoff numbers outpace their typical regular season numbers. yeah, but it sucks having to replenish for a run every 3 years. i guess that's just the nature of the game now. Better than replenishing every 50 years. -
as he flails low and away for a lazy pop up

One of the guys mentioned that unlike some guys he may be the type who goes right to the bullpen. But September? Crazy talk.

So that's 5 college starting pitchers out of the top 200 picks of the draft going to the Cubs. I think we can call it a trend. Assuming they sign, you would think a lot of these currently 21-22 year olds will be in Kane County or Daytona next season. Everything from BIGMOFOS to little fellas.

At 5-foot-11, 175 pounds, David Garner's size doesn't intimidate hitters. However, his slight frame is not an indication of the power the right-hander possesses. Garner owns a fastball that can touch 95 mph, while his hard-breaking slider is his primary out-pitch. He has a free delivery and aggressive approach, and his electric stuff has led to 192 strikeouts in 217 2/3 innings pitched for Michigan State during his three years in East Lansing. At times, Garner can lose his control, as he walked 27 batters this year, while also hitting six and throwing 10 wild pitches. In his first two seasons at Michigan State, Garner was in and out of the rotation, but he made all 14 appearances as a starter during his junior year. He went 4-5 with a 4.10 ERA, lifting his career numbers to 15-12 and 3.97, respectively. Garner stood out in the Cape Cod League each of the past two summers, especially in 2012, when he was named to the West Division All-Star Team. In 43 1/3 innings for the Hyannis Harbor Hawks, Garner registered 41 strikeouts and a 3.12 ERA, both of which were good for top 20 in the league. Before becoming a Spartan, Garner was drafted by the Reds in the 33rd round (No. 997 overall) of the 2010 Draft.

not an expert. I think outside the studs at the top, guys will begin and short season (Boise) and see time in Kane County. Cubs take another college RHP, David Garner from Michigan State

Video has him strangely bending over at the start of windup, wonder if he's going to have back issues

we'll see what we can do about that for you
