  1. So at least one is on the table, I hope. Hopefully it's because they blow their wad on Cano, one can dream
  2. Is he playing anywhere this winter?
  3. Agreed, but if Larry Walker didn't get in on the first ballot idk if Helton does. Walker accumulated more HR in 1,400 less PA's, both had very similar career triple slash lines and Walker accumulated 14 more fWAR over his career. But yeah, Helton has that whole playing his whole career on same team thing which apparently is worth something.
  4. Has he changed something significant? His K and BB numbers are down pretty noticeably this year. His HR rates are down by about 1/3-1/4 off his career averages. HR/9 is at .64 this year career he's at .84 and his HR/FB% is at 8.4% while for his career he's at 11.2%. So maybe a bit of luck/park effects?
  5. Unless Cutler gets knocked out of the game early the Bears should win by 10 or more.

  7. Has been for a while. Jags, Browns, and Raiders have been terrible for 10 years. They've had NE, Pittsburgh, Baltimore, and Peyton Manning's teams dominating the conference for a decade. SD and Houston have been minor factors here and there, but not even at the same time. Oh I agree that it has been top heavy for a decade +/-, but this year those perennial top teams other than Denver/Petyon team all have their flaws and are on the decline while no other team(s) have really stepped up.
  8. The AFC, on a whole, really is a pile of [expletive] this year.
  9. Did Sveum actually influence the change of implementing advanced defensive positioning with the team? Or does he actually put the work in to figure out where to play guys v. certain hitters? Or basically does he just believe in it/did the FO tell him he's doing it and he's just given a report before every series that says when player x is up positions a, b, c, etc. shift here?
  10. Idk, I was just about to ask the same. Dale starting to play match ups in the 5th inning is certainly going to end well....

  12. Cashner has a no hitter against the Pirates into the 7th
  13. It'll probably be in the 20s by Friday. 9/22 4:25 ET At Seattle -19.5 Jacksonville 41 Lol, could easily see it getting to 23-24. This will be one of the larger lines I can ever remember. I think GB and NE both had some lines open in the high teens over the last 2-3 years but I can't remember any reaching the 20's. As I mentioned on the previous page, JAC@DEN in week 6. I don't see how that doesn't open in the low/mid 20's if both those two teams stay on this relative course and Denver, specifically, doesn't have injuries to anyone significant.
  14. I read it as best season by position type thing.
  15. I'm pretty sure someone posted that article from deadspin about him asking that army guy (or whatever branch of the military he was in) about it when he visited the Seahawks facility. Or whatever the story was.
  16. And no byes. I see several byes. Oakland at Denver, Jacksonville at Seattle, etc... How many points Denver favored by? They should win by 50. 14.5 Jacksonville plays @ Denver in week 6 (I think) that line very well may open in the 20's.
  17. Might as well. A substantial increase in revenue for a hurting franchise if nothing else. I agree, hard to see a downside with it. They will sell more tickets/merchandise if they sign him, definitely would get the team talked about more. They don't have anyone he'd be blocking/hurting development of, Gabbert is terrible and Henne is nothing more than a back up. Tebow likely doesn't add any more wins than they'd have without him so their draft position will likely go unchanged.

  19. Seattle is favored by somewhere between 16.5 and 17.5 from what I'm seeing.
  20. Yikes, that line is gonna be huge
  21. If Harvin can come back at some point this year at or near 100% the Seahawks may be as close to unbeatable as a team can be.
  22. That win was anything but great. The Saints will be 1 of 3 teams in the NFC who are 2-0, with both wins against division opponents. Ugly, ugly win on the road in [expletive] conditions where there was an hour weather delay. Yes, it is a great win. Meh, the win was still mediocre at best. That said, if the Seahawks win tonight, the 3 undefeated NFC teams will each have an impressive win (Bears at home vs. Cincy, Saints at home vs. Atlanta, Seahawks at home vs. SF) and a mediocre win (Bears at home vs. Minny, Saints on the road vs. TB, Seahawks on the road vs. Carolina) Or, you know, if SF wins they will have two impressive wins and best resume. Home vs. GB and @SEA. But I get what you are saying.
  23. Poo Poo Platter Week
