Bears Offseason Thread (Trestman new HC, pg 37)
jersey cubs fan replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Other Sports
Trestman and Emery are meeting the media right now at the combine, although it doesn't seem like he's saying anything going by twitter. -
at least he realizes how low his upside is

Trading Soriano

Because many people can't reconcile "summer in California" with "cold". Yeah, as a 6 year old I didn't get it, but then I noticed every time the Cubs played there they wore jackets and the announcers talked about how cold it was and I figured it out. -

how is it that at least 3-4 times a season we have to explain that San Francisco is not Hawaii? -
Wasn't he the coach there when they went to the finals against The Stars awhile back? 1999
-
probably safer to keep him away from others

and quenneville keeps climbing the list of longest tenured nhl coaches. 5th now?

Bears Offseason Thread (Trestman new HC, pg 37)
jersey cubs fan replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Other Sports
Signing bonuses are prorated over the life of the contract. So, if a guy gets a $10Mil signing bonus over 5 years, it counts 2Mil against the cap every year. Doesn't matter if he gets all $10Mil up front, defers half, some or all of it. Until he's cut Signing bonuses still count against the cap if you're cut though, right? Because that's guaranteed money. The point is it is no longer prorated at $2m every year. If you cut a guy after year 3 then the remaining balance of the prorated bonus is pushed up to the "league year" you are operating in. -

I thought I read speculation that it was a mini-competition between Shark and Garza. Not that it really matters, but I'm guessing Garza would be more in-line for second series, or maybe the home opener rather than opening day now.

I would think only a goober would bother following such a thing.
-
That sort of setback virtually assures he won't be pitching on opening day, no? This early, I wouldn't think so. Especially considering the fact that they started ST a little early this year for the WBC. opening day is less than 6 weeks away. If he's taking a week off now, it's going to be tough to be ready for that first game.

What, all of the wonderful Twitter/Facebook rage is made up? I don't follow random cubs fans on twitter or facebook so I'm not aware of it. I'm sure somebody somewhere is upset, but an actual uproar with a sizable portion of the fanbase?

Is there an actual uproar or a manufactured uproar where the media constantly reminds people that the guy was a fan favorite?
-
That payroll number was sustainable, the growth rate of the payroll was not sustainable.

NFL Offseason/Coaching Carousel/non-playoff talk

He wasn't shot by a legless sprinter was he?
-
"So-called experts"? Anybody who has said anything about the guy says he's 1b/DH, if not simply just DH. I don't see the point in insinuating he may play some other position other than 1B, and then back off that statement. That video still shows a kid with B-cups and backboobs. He may not be a giant slob, but he's huge for a baseball player and there isn't any reason to pretend otherwise.
-
So is there one spot or two spots open? 1...... Garza Samardzija Jackson Feldman Wood/Villanueva But why did he say "other than those top three"?

Meh. It's leaps and bounds better than him refusing to acknowledge that his swing needed fixing. I'll take a young player with potential working hard to fix a problem over the alternative any day of the week. Well no kidding. Nobody is talking alternative. A young player being willing to work on stuff isn't out of the ordinary. What is, or will be actually meaningful is if he can translate the work to the field. Good thing you and Dexter are here to keep the unbridled optimism in check. I was getting a little tired of the last several pages talking about Jackson's HOF speech and all but I was too timid to speak up. What is the point of your asinine statement?
