I like Gold Gloves and I cannot lie: the Jason Heyward thread
Derwood replied to NOLA's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
So left-handed curveballers seem to be his kryptonite -
Can we hire Barry Zito to come to our batting practices and throw nothing but curveballs to Heyward and Javy every day?

Fun early season stats (2017 edition)
Derwood replied to Post Count Padder's topic in General Baseball Talk
Jared Saltalamacchia was DFA'd by Toronto after going 1 for 25 with 16k's -
Damn, gonna miss this one.
-
WTF Is Mad Dog and Maggie?
-
Is that from the Gruden tape? . It's from sulley
-
"Quickest release in last 10 years" sounds well researched
-
What was your point then?
-
It's a big knock though, because you only have 13 games worth of tape to evaluate him. It's also a question of what you consider to be a "franchise" quarterback. Was Cutler one? Is, say, Ryan Tannehill one? Where is the line drawn for what qualifies?
-
lol Browns
-
lol, that plaza in Philly CLEARED OUT after the Eagles pick
-
Presumably to end up in the horde if picks going to the Bears for Mitchell Trubisky, per Greg Gabriel. Would that trade happen tonight? That would be effing nuts
-
Cleveland trades down, and now has HOU's 1st AND 2nd round pick next year
-
Did people really expect him to go this early in general? No, but I thought Cleveland would panic after Trubisky went #2
-
Better side with "draft expert" Sulley lol why do people get so upset about their draft predictions? Even the real pros miss on picks all the time. It's not some badge of honor to get one right or some black mark to get one wrong if you're just some average joe. I'm not upset at all. Everyone here is an average joe, which is why I think it's funny that some average joes' hot takes on the draft are actually valued above others here

Watson falling
-
I'm guessing it's Cook for Chiefs? Would they trade that much for him? We'll see
-
If Watson goes to KC, Cleveland should jump on a DB at 12 and grab a QB in the 2nd round
-
KC just traded up
-
I'd be thrilled if I'm wrong about this. Thrilled. But this is such a massive overreach that I still can't believe they did it Well, i'll be here to make your life miserable if he's as good as i think he'll be. If he's as good as you think he'll be, I'll happily take all the horsefeathers you want to throw me
-
Cleveland might get Watson without having to trade up
-
Answer the question. Trubisky was rated fringe-first rounder after the season. He just got picked #2. What (besides hype) made him jump so high? What about his tape makes anyone think he's worth 4 draft picks? What franchise QB's in the NFL had this guy's limited resume? Workouts and scout evals? And many services had him pegged as top 10 after the season. The guy has the goods, size, quick release, accuracy, and speed. I'd be thrilled if I'm wrong about this. Thrilled. But this is such a massive overreach that I still can't believe they did it

Sure, if you use the outlier rather than the vast vast majority of successful NFL QB's, your logic is sound Do you even know what an outlier is, Derwood? I'd define an outlier as a 6th round draft pick being the best QB in NFL history. You?

This logic is bad. Good NFL prospect and good college QB (especially in a spread scheme) is not close to comparable. Hell, maybe the best QB in NFL history couldn't beat out Brian Griese in college.
