Roster cuts coming?
Derwood replied to Bear Cub's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
just out of curiosity, if there are 6 non-roster invitees still in camp, who were the 5 players from the 40-man who have been sent down? In fact, is the 40-man full at this point? -
Nice run by Bradley. I really underestimated Memphis. I had them losing last round because I thought they were too young and hadn't had a challenge in months, but they are showing very well. That said, they STILL haven't really met a big challenge in months. The first three games in the tourney so far have been small and mid-major teams. They'll have Gonzaga or UCLA next. That will be their first major matchup since December.

Okay, Shelden Williams had a great game (and a great year) but for some reason I just can't see him as being any good in the NBA. Am I crazy? He just strikes me as one of those "great in college, 8th on the bench in NBA" type guys

Not too much of a homer pick, eh Vance?
-
Right, because he didn't have 3 fouls with 19:30 left in the game and 4 fouls most of the last 10 minutes well seicne they have switched over from brad/memphis he has committed 4 fouls that ive seen. if only they were as eager to call that last foul on him as the first 4 They've let them play pretty rough all game, so if you just switched over, you don't know how the whole game has played. People are falling and flopping all over the place with no calls. Okay, it's over, and my bracket is officially SCREWED as I had Duke in the championship game. GAH! Good game though
-
and....Duke is toast. Worst game I've seen Duke play all year. They had no answer for the defense. Fear the Tigers! BTW, I wasn this Thomas kid on the Bulls bad. Unreal.

a Bradley win would certainly help me get UCLA to the Final Four Just like KU thought they'd be seeing the second round and Pittsburgh thought they'd be playing Memphis right now? Bradley is better than a 13, they have proven that already. Sure, but how long can it last? I mean, it's a great story, but a hot team with mid-major talent can only put together so many wins against teams with major conference talent. It's why the cinderella stories almost always end by the Elite 8. i don't think Patrick O'Bryant and Marcellus Sommerville have just "mid-major talent." Sommerville was an Illinois transfer and O'Bryant will be in the NBA someday. That is definitely not mid-major talent. True, but how about the other 10 players?

He needs to lose more weight still. He'd hit a brick wall pretty quickly in the NBA. no problem. He weighed 350 in high school and is down to 310 as a sophomore. NBA trainers could get him under 300 no problem (unless he has Eddy Curry's work ethic) btw, ESPN.com doesn't have Davis as a lottery pick. I don't know if that means they don't think he's a superstar, or if it means they doubt he'll go pro this year.

he'd be fun as a Bull, but I doubt they take him

I'm impressed that LSU is still up with their top 2 scorers (Davis and Thomas) on the bench for 11 minutes of the first half. Duke looks like they've never run an offense before. They're getting disrupted by LSU's defense in a big way. I need Duke to eke this one out though as I have them in my Final Four
-
someone big. Aldridge, Davis, that type. As in Paul Davis? With a lottery pick? Paul Davis is a late first rounder at best. If the Bulls were to take Davis with a lottery pick, I'd be really wondering what the hell Pax is thinking. I may be wrong, but I think he meant "Baby Shaq" Glen Davis from LSU. He's slighty more Shaq than Harold Minor was Jordan. He is a lottery pick though. I vote for Aldridge with the Knicks pick, and if Noah is available when we pick, I would love to have him. yes, glenn, not paul

I was thinking a 3-headed coaching monster of Calbert Cheaney, Alan Henderson and Jim Jackson. The Jim Jackson that went to Ohio State? He would mostly do scouting.....of, um, Ohio state...... In breaking news, Jim Jackson has been outed as an O$U alum and has been replaced by AJ Guyton

Very funny, but why did you say NSFW? Ballpark_Frank uses a little language, but that's all I could see. Yeah, I didn't click on it at work because of the tag -- but then got home and wondered why I waited. No biggie though. many of the other "chats" have strong language so i figured better safe than sorry

Dude, its been over a year. When can we give it a rest? dude, Willis was traded 3 years ago and people still won't shut up about it -
I don't want athletes with potential. I want ball players with proven skills Dusty is that you? :lol: :lol: i'm serious though. I don't want 15 Eddie Robinson's on my team. I couldn't care less if they can jump 7 feet in the air or are super fast. I want guys who can hit the 15' jumper and sink their free throws and make the extra pass.

All you Dusty bashers are misinformed
Derwood replied to Sec 511 Die-hard's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
BTW, to compare Dusty to Bobby Cox in an attempt to make him look good is sort of a joke, as Cox has mismanaged his way through more postseasons than Dusty has. Both are kings of regular season success and postseason failure. -

the word is apart, not a part /end picking apart minor section of post Dude, the guy is from Korea, English might not be his first language. Cut him some slack. Just poking fun. I didn't actually read the whole thread. If English isn't his first language, it's pretty damn good. I talk to many Americans online who can barely spell their name. -
that is truly sad
