Haven't posted in forever, but love this fun with sample size stat: Mookie Betts at Camden this year: 516/595/1.290/1.885 It was over .2000 but he only went 3 for 5 last night.

The 2012 Offseason Thread
Prizefight replied to ctcf's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
2/26.5 Dempster to Boston :shock: -
There's a lot more 3rd and 4th line guys than the Crosby's (bitch) and Toews' of the world. If the rank and file players become unified and want to make a deal things can go south really quick for the players which will be to the detriment of all of them most likely.
-
So the NHL wanted the players to accept a deal without the head of their union present. No offer has been put to a vote to all the players. There's starting to be dissension among the rank and file who seem to be 'folding' while the 'elite' players still seem strongly behind Fehr. Fehr encouraging them to keep holding out because they can get more. The balls of the owners to sign players to crazy contracts days before the lockout and then complain about the contracts is astounding They are all at fault and not one of them cares about the fans. We are infinitely replaceable in their eyes.

Completely overhauling his swing this winter to cut down on the K's http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/12/05/cubs-prospect-brett-jackson-has-completely-overhauled-his-swing/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter No real thoughts. We'll see I guess

Shocked it took this long for the Cheney joke. Offseason for posters here too I suppose.
-
Deciding to take a two week break from negotiations because that makes sense. Legitimately reconsidering if I'll ever give my money to the NHL again. Unbelievable.
-
Hub also picked the Chiefs to be in the Super Bowl and also indicated he wouldn't have been shocked to see the Titans win in his own smug way
-
Players want to meet today. NHL refuses. Yet they announce moving a former dynasty franchise. You can't make this up.
-
Right. It's hard to fault the players for wanting to get paid the contracts they signed. The owners are out of control with the money they are paying. Seriously, look at James Wisniewski's contract. That's all time bad. Obviously, Scott Towson is an idiot, but every team has a deal like that. I wouldn't be shocked to see it get closer to a 52/48 split. Another tough aspect is going to be any kind of buyout/over the cap clause because a lot of teams are going to be hilariously over the new cap and will need to likely move a lot of $$ next offseason, looking at you Canucks and Flyers.

Who is your choice for next Cubs analyst?
Prizefight replied to Rizzo Smash's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
OH [expletive] YOU MAN [expletive] YOU FOR PUTTING THIS THOUGHT OUT THERE He's the first name that popped into my head as a way for me to begin to cope with it happening, as remote it can be. And you can't underestimate the ability for a guy like that to weasel his way in. 'It's Len and the Kap-Man welcoming you to a frigid April day here at beautiful Wrigley Field" -
Not sure the exact specifics of any of the 3 PA counter proposals, but the owners rejected them in basically 10 minutes and then left Toronto saying that they were still so far apart it doesn't make sense to negotiate. Expect another large chunk of games to be cancelled today or tomorrow. Winter Classic is seriously in doubt at this point. Unfortunately, the players need to realize that owners ALWAYS win in a lockout.

Hope it's not anyone currently employed by WGN/Comcast etc. Moreland, Hollandsworth, Kaplan etc. -
Pretty savy PR offer made by the league. 50/50 seems fair to everyone and attempts to turn the tide on the bad PR they got yesterday by the focus group report. What's not being reported is that the NHL gives very little in terms of other concessions. NHLPA will ultimately reject this version of the offer, but need to do so in a way that promotes further conversation. First time since the lockout I feel optimistic that there might be hockey.
-
I'm developing a deep hatred of Bill Daly, Gary and every single NHL owners. The balls it takes to complain the players are making too much money the same offseason they sign TWO players to 100 million dollar contracts is absurd. The owners are literally not compromising at all in their offers. Donald Fehr is doing great. Unfortunately, the players are going to run out of leverage. The fans will come back, the NHL knows it. It's beyond frustrating.
-
Exactly. As a fun fact, the AL west was 101-73 against the Central.

'Will Be' I'd guess Cabrera for a lot of antiquated reasons.
-
Lots of fascinating chatter on this lately. I personally think it's Trout and it's not even all that close in my mind. Cabrera is the better hitter, but not so much more to outweigh Trouts amazing defense and baserunning. The Triple Crown is special, but now that we have a better understanding of statistics, it doesn't carry nearly the weight it use to.

O's need another arm after their 18 inning game yesterday. Just adds to what has been one of the best and most intriguing seasons of baseball I can remember for a long time. He was down in Instructional League, got the phone call at 4am or 1 hour after the O's finished their game against the Mariners.

VJax or Washington. NYG's corners are terrible, but Locker loves Washington. Coin flip imo. Flex Spot PPR Amendola vs. Washington Crabtree vs. Detroit

Right. She's #1 running away. Mod edit: Let's leave the pictures at the link. -
I've never had my body react so violently to anything as it did to Skyline Chili.

Like I said, 25 year old A baller and a signed Magic Johnson jersey. Final offer.
