This signing is so Taguchi

Yeah, I know. I just saw it so thought I'd post it.

Aurilia still crushes lefties, but this after signing Miles is beyond dumb.

This has been discussed before. He has an extensive injury history and it would put us back if both he and Harden end up on the DL for a long time. Prior and Wood all over again. Also, he could probably still command a good amount of money. If we want him cheap, we should wait a few more weeks. At that point, I don't think he'll be around. Redding is off the market, and Lowe will be soon too. Some team will jump on Sheets and give him a contract. That said, I'd definitely prefer him over Randy Wolf.

Spot on. It just hurts. We need to actually have a good draft this year.

That wasn't Estes pitching that day, it was Satan in Estes' body pitching well for us to get our hopes up only to have them later crushed.

That was bad. Really bad. Penalty after penalty. LenWhale sucks. That non-call with the clock sucked, but the Titans should have been winning at that point. Why is it that all my teams suck once the playoffs start?

Bradley: "I've never been in a fight in my life so I wouldn't know what to do."

It's most likely going to be cancelled when Bradley fails his physical after it's discovered that he has no central nervous system. ha

Good moves

Yeah, because Devlin transferred to Delaware. And I have a feeling Scirotto won't get picked, I'm just saying he could. He's a big time hitter, but not great in coverage.

WR WR WR WR WR WR WR WR WR WR WR WR WR WR WR Yeah, they've gone RB or secondary usually, but WR is a glaring need.

maybin says he's coming back; let's hope he sticks to that. he'd probably go top 10 if he comes out. i could see williams working his way up into round 3 because he'll probably show well at the combine. I could see D-Will even going in Round 2. I also think Butler and Scirrotto could go in later rounds. Norwood is small and will go undrafted, IMO. AQ Shipley could be a first rounder. You are high if you think Scirrotto gets drafted in anything other than baseball or military. NFL coaches expect their safeties to cover wideouts, afterall. Also Truffle, please link to anywhere Maybin said he is returning. Everything I hear is that he has his evaluation and he is weighing the decision. Typically, when a player is "torn" on the decision, it means he is going to enter. He has become very close with LaVar over this past season, and LaVar has been telling him to take the money. Expect him to go (the staff does, you should too). Jared Odrick will most likely return, but right now, expect Maurice Evans to enter, even if he's told he is a 3rd-4th rounder. He wants out, and staff doesn't really care too badly if he leaves. The real Defensive Line problem PSU will have is replacing Larry Johnson, Sr. if/when he leaves for Illinois' DC job. Talk about the balance shifting from one program to another... Shipley will be a round 3 guy, centers just don't go that high anymore (unless a team takes him to make into a guard). Ohrnberger will get picked too, and hopefully Tony Davis. Talk about a kid that you should be happy to root for. All-around class act, I'm pleased to have gotten to know him. Kevin Kelly has made himself into an NFL kicker, whether or not a team uses a pick on him is another story. But Robbie Gould won't be the only PSU alum in the League for long. Well excuse me. Being at the school myself, I'd think I know this stuff. If Scirotto is picked, it will probably be in round 6-7. Ohrnberger and Shipley were bruising linemen. I'd be surprised if they don't get picked. Kelly won't be picked but he'll catch on as a FA. Davis could be a mid-late rounder. I think Maybin wants to stay but as said, he's "weighing his options." I've heard nothing about Odrick. Where have you heard about Evans wanting out?

Yeah, but they have nobody on offense.

He had good stuff, it's a shame.

I'm jumping out my window if the Cubs sign Braden Looper. You have to get out of your mom's basement before that carries any weight. lawl

Maybe Jon Lieber wants another go. or Kevin Tapani if we really want to travel far enough down that road. Mark Clark. Book it.

What would it take to get Sonnanstine from the Rays?

Looper- eh, depending on the contract. He's pretty average and won't get any better. Redding- no Pettitte- too much money

It seems so easy. There has to be more to it, because I can't see why this hasn't been done yet. It could be the two teams weren't exactly close to completing the trade. It just seems too simple to be this hard. Then again, this is the Cubs. And about Cain, what would it take to get him? Obviously less than Peavy but if we still have to give up a lot I'd prefer Peavy.

This offseason has sucked so far, but Hendry's been at least a league average GM since he took the job and has made great trades like the ones for Harden, Ramirez and (at the time) Nomar. I'm not saying he's an amazing GM but this is a little bit of an overreaction.
