  1. So you're saying you wouldn't trade having to keep Mike Smith a few more years for a Super Bowl? I think every Bears fan here would trade off having to give Trestman a 10 year extension for a super bowl this year. Yeah, who the hell are the Falcons? They've NEVER won the Super Bowl. I don't care how it happens, they should build a statue of the coach that eventually does it. I'd rather have 1 Super Bowl followed by 10 years of awful and then another 1 awesome Super Bowl win than the 30 years of mediocrity the Bears have had since they last won. Yeah seems odd, guess you gotta do it "the right way" or it doesn't count or something. This is the same mindset of the people who don't want to have to maybe over spend on pitchers when the time comes because we didn't get the most efficient deal or something

  3. Jackson or the Rizzo extension has to be the biggest contract Theo has given out so far
  4. While we continue on the NFC South, saw a tweet that the Buccaneers are 2 games out of first and 1 game behind for get the #1 pick in the draft.
  5. What's the worst possible record for the division winner?
  6. Headley, Asdrubal Cabrera and Lowrie all seem like logical targets for the Dodgers with Hanley leaving. Wouldn't be surprised to see them sign 1 or more of them.
  7. Maybe it's just that there's been few things about Scherzer/Cubs that I haven't seen anything, but it seems like there isn't a whole lot out there linking Scherzer to anyone or talking about what his contract might be.
  8. I didn't realize he's put up good/consistent numbers over the last 3 years. However I do miss the days when .260/.330/.450 with 25 HR was just considered average and not a cornerstone to your lineup
  9. Can Napoli catch anymore? He hasn't logged an inning at catcher since 2012, so I'd guess not.
  10. Did those guys pitch like TOR for you 4-7 years earlier? You forget, we are trying to build the most efficient team. Can't be over spending for production in the last 2-3 years of deal, even if it means getting TOR production in the first 4-5
  11. Red Sox must have a trade coming soon, with Xander now pushed out of the IF they have Betts, Castillo, Cespedes, JBJR, Xander, Craig, and Victorino in the OF. Even if they make Xander a super sub they still have too many guys. I guess I could see something like Xander and Craig for Hamels.
  12. If he doesn't cost much, I'd be all for it. Fowler's numbers are awesome. He's a platoon player who is slightly above-average at best. And he really isn't much of a CF. I have to imagine his market value is probably out of whack with his production. He's probably not worth what it'll cost to bring him in. How so? He has a .259/.356/.414 career line vs RHP and a .299/.391/.433 line vs LHP. His BB% rate is essentially the same vs both, he k's about 4.5-5% more vs RHP. The overall league slash line this year was, .251/.314/.386
  13. What would be the plan with Xander if they get Sandoval as well? Move him to the OF, turn him into a super sub, trade bait?
  14. They said during the game today Stafford has never beaten a team on the road that went on to finish the year with a winning record. That seems impossible
  15. How did Blanco rate out as a pitch framer in his career? I forget what site has the info
  16. Make up and offer him President of Bench Operations position
  17. I love this kind of stuff. I'd love to see a similar article on the NBA. I want to say I've seen something similar before for the NBA, might even have been a Grantland/Simmons article.
  18. Is that our first one since Patterson? I remember Prior being on the cover of an issue but I don't think it was the handbook.
  19. Who is Michael Feliz
  20. 49ers
