  1. Don't pay for past performance, pay for expected performance throughout the course of the contract. If you refuse to bite the bullet and risk paying too much to a guy 6 years from now you won't get his top notch performance the next 4-5 years, and you won't win. The goal is not to have the most cost effective team, the goal is to have the best team. The system is set-up so you get cheap production early and expensive production late. You're a fool if you don't take advantage of the former and delusional if you think you can avoid the latter.
  2. I don't see the point in noting that "unless they move to the AL I don't see where they will use him." Prospect status can't be determined by the league the parent company resides in or that team's need positions. If you think he can be a DH you don't downgrade him for not being on the White Sox instead of the Cubs.
  3. i wouldn't hate that. While the value would be there and it fits a need, I would not like it. MLB don't win football games in today's NFL. MLB aren't difference makers.
  4. Lampard scores for England, 2-1
  5. damn you, beat me to it
  6. that's a great story
  7. I think that shot was more at the fans who have irrational love of Sczur this time.
  8. What are you one of those nutso Steelers fans who pretend that cutting down on cheap hits equates to sissification?
  9. hehehehe, wood stain, hehehehe
  10. It's not like the guy has kept quiet about his confidence.
  11. No? It was meant to be.
  12. No, it says he looks at several that are out there but relies on his own internal formulas for actual usage.
  13. I was incredibly disappointed in Weems. Is he a moron? He doesn't seem to be very "aware" of special teams situations, especially for a special teams specialist.
  14. It's cool to have numerous guys on the list, but a bummer to have nobody higher than 31.
  15. religious people are the worst
  16. I wonder if they might get him to take a paycut and just be a returner? Would the players union allow him to do that? NFL players renegotiate their contracts all the time.
  17. Hester needing to be coddled means that when he screws up you can't get mad at him or else he might sulk and lose focus, and screw up.
  18. Ditka blew up on Harbaugh, in Minnesota I believe. I think it happened multiple times but the famous one involved Harbaugh calling an audible with a big lead and throwing a taint.
  19. I blame all the other idiotic media members that keep giving the guy awards.
  20. I don't read it or watch that stuff when it's on TV, but if the player grants the interview then it would seem he's willing to talk about it - and some like talking about it. It's dumb, but some people like that "human interest" type angle. It's the critical, admonishing tone that Reilly took in the article that I have a real problem with. That's garbage. But this is the sort of stuff that led to the Manti Te'o nonsense. Dolts may enjoy the human interest nonsense you see from Rick Reilly and everybody who covers the Olympics, but it's awful writing.
  21. she's laughing? I thought she was eating a carrot
  22. You should. That crap should be banished from every sports media outlet. It's awful awful garbage.
