    I sure as hell wouldn't need an historically comical overpay to part ways with Castro. Alright, let's hear this. Just a standard overpay will suffice for me.

    Well, they filled a lot of holes in free agency precisely so they could draft BPA in the first and not force themselves into a Chris Williams situation. Bennett isn't exactly Marshall when it comes to filling the position they signed him for. If they see the value in a guy and he drops to them, it wouldn't be weird at all. That is especially true with an offensive minded head coach implementing a pass heavy system with a need for as many weapons as possible. Plenty of teams utilizes 2 TE weapons at once. You don't have to have one pass catcher, one blocker and one guy who is okay at both. If you subscribe to the theory that it's best to become dominant at something and then dictate the game that way, then that could be an excellent selection. Bennett isn't exactly a guy they are going to depend on to lock down the position for 4 years by himself. His contract actually makes it reasonable to cut him after year 1, since that is when his actual salary escalates. You keep the pressure on him to perform and it he does fine, but if you can get better production out of a guy in his first contract, who cannot negotiate a raise for another year, why not? If the value is there, take it. It would be weird to take a RB or QB in the first round. Or to do something stupid like trade up for a linebacker. But drafting a TE doesn't seem weird to me at all. Not my first choice, but an acceptable option.

    How many pitches did he throw? Stanford isn't releasing that info this year. Law or someone else said they doubted he'd hit 120 pitches in a game this year though. Were the 3 HBP just a hardassed college macho thing or was he wild? Those would have to be some quick k's and easy innings to not get up to 120 through 9.

    If UK is taking the Cardinals and raw takes the steelers that leaves the Eagles and Redskins. I'll take the Eagles and Washington doesn't have a selection until the middle of round 2 anyway. Let's get started. Chiefs are on the clock.

    That's a special kind of weird. EDIT: Full two-round mock, minus explanations: http://boards.buffalobills.com/showthread.php?457404-Todd-McShay-Mock-Draft-4-0-Updated-3-28-2013-Bills-Select-Chance-Warmack Why do you think it is weird? Because of Bennett?

    Is there as significant difference between what Appel thought he'd get last year and what he's likely to settle for this year?
  12. jersey cubs fan
    Much of this may be true. But at the same time, there are plenty of people who act as though any criticism of any move is too much criticism, and that anything these guys do is spot on brilliant. The results have been despicable to date and they didn't have to be. They chose to be this bad. That is frustrating.

    right back at ya big fella Hey I'm not that big. Is everyone that disagrees with you about everything being irrational or just in this case? You should have a good idea how big you are in comparison to the typical human so I assume you're being rational in that judgement.

    This. Also, I guess I really do not understand why someone is looking for every reason they can to be critical of Cubs ownership/management. Is it like if he can somehow convince NSBB posters that the new regime is bad, then NSBB posters could be some sort of agent of change that would lead to the Cubs being the greatest organization in sports for the next 50 yrs. Anyway...The Ricketts family obviously made a good investment. Hoping a smart group of guys like that can lead the Cubs to the promiseland:) It took quite a while to convince a lot of people that Hendry was awful. And it came down to the point that they didn't come close to winning as many games as they should have given their resource advantage. Ownership gave him money to spend and they spent it and lost. This group still has the same resources, but is spending a lot less and actually managing to lose quite a bit more often. They are seemingly capable of doing much better but apparently more than willing to take a dive and stay on the canvas for far too long. I don't understand the point of asking about a person's motives for posting about the team they follow on a website devoted to the team they follow. What's the point of any of us saying anything on here? Fandom isn't a particularly rational trait, although the only rational way to go about being a fan is wanting to see the team you are a fan of win more games than the competition.

    All these big companies just write it off.

    They shouldn't be in cap hell as much as they will just be looking for a new wave of players. They aren't signing Iginla, are they? They project to have 10.6m in space for next year and 39.7m the following. Compared to the Blackhawks having 5.2m and 23.0m, or Boston with 6 and 17. Morrow, Iginla, Dupuis, Cooke and Murray UFA this season.... Malkin, Kunitz, Orpick and LeTang next. Plus Kennedy is a RFA is offseason(tough year to have a bad year, but will still have some suitors.) They will lose several other players besides Iginla Right, they have guys leaving through free agency but I look at cap hell as a situation where you're already up against the cap with signed deals and have to get rid of them. They'll still have a ton of money to spend when some of those guys do leave.

    You can display a LOT of ads and signs in 3+ hours. And those ads are limited to the 30,000 sets of eyeballs in the stadium. Are they more valuable than the fixed ads attached to the jumbotron that are seen by all in attendance plus every viewer on television, including highlights and still photos?

    I met actual Wallace Shawn before, well, we rode the same elevator.

    For the interest of this discussion the theoretical increase in value really doesn't matter.

    If so it'll sell out on gameday, especially if they win a series that first week.
