    That was a fun read. My favorite part was the fan testimonials: My wife and I are expecting our first child, and Finish Line had Browns onesies on sale, so I bought three sets, for $5 each. Good deal, right? I have never seen her lose her temper faster than when I showed them to her. I may as well have showed her baby Klan robes, she was that disgusted.

    You can tell the youngest one hates him like all his teammates. Not even singing along.

    I especially liked the "long stare into the Cardinals dugout" afterward (call by Len). I hope he give Pederson or whomever it was on the Dodgers in sprinter position the same stare after a pickoff (or just quits while he's ahead).

    Agreed you don't want those guys as your 4th LB. They are basically STers. I have a suspicion they are high on Roy Robertson-Harris and he'll compete for that 4th spot with Houston. Its the only explanation for the lack of offseason activity at OLB considering the depth and injury history of those spots. Last I heard, Robertson-Harris has put on some weight (to about 285) and will compete at DE. Of course, he's still listed at 268 and a LB on the website. I assume that RRH is now a DE and Howard just displaced Sutton from the depth chart

    Yes, please

    Dream scenarios: 1 - trade back with Carolina - a couple second day picks would be great in this draft 2 - trade back with Cleveland - next years first would be the best thing, at least a couple second day picks would be in order 3 - one of 1 or 2 plus a trade back into the first to get the QB you want 4 - pick your favorite at 3 - Adams, Thomas, Lattimore, Trubisky, Watson - any would be great additions

    http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/sunday-notes-whitleys-cattle-cubs-butler-gausmans-analogy-yard-goats-more/ New market inefficiency: don't change pitchers Arrieta was told not to pitch the way that got him to the pros. Butler, who was the Oriole who was the best minor leaguer to touch a baseball again? Not just pitchers - Castro had some deprogramming that he eventually had to ignore. In all seriousness this seems like a pretty easy thing to do, but just like people make comments about tanking being easy, it's not. I'm sure what Colorado was doing with Butler was something that happens to every prospect to some degree. Why was it too much for him? Why did the Cubs approach make more sense? Sure, he was doing something that felt more natural, but it seems to mean that the caliber of coaching and the effort to monitor and understand the player is what is making the difference.

    My bet is 3 wins

    Outstanding article. The final paragraph comparing him to some of the best hitters in the game is bonerific. Someone must have a gif for that

    Nah...but that doesn't mean any of us would recognize it if we saw it... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cladding_(construction) I guess I forgot that this is industry jargon. We manufactured the silver painted aluminum that wraps the canopies and columns that you can see behind the crowd.

    My company produced the cladding product on that building behind him. Nice to see it in a Cubs video

    Is pic #10 the top of the Jed Hoyer parade sweatsuit? I would buy that regardless of price, and I don't wear clothes like that. It would be like draping myself in velvet (I think)

    As many others have said, thank you, bukie, for doing this. What a great way to pass the off season. Terrific idea exquisitely executed.

    This is crazy to watch. Very cool, even if Almora doesn't turn into Manny, though that would be fine

    In Biggs' mock draft he had the Bronco's taking OJ Howard, but I would go with a T. For Tampa, he selected WR Ross to pair with Mike Evans, which would be a dangerous combination. By the way, Biggs had Lattimore going 3 to the Bears

    Why do I think Albertos is a lefty? Am i thinking of someone else?

    Titans select WR Corey Davis

    There's rumors of Carolina trying to move up to 2. No idea if they'd take Fournette there or not, but Rivera said today there's no spot too high to take a RB. No idea why they'd jump the Bears, unless there's other teams also after Fournette and multiple teams are trying to move up. Again, just a rumor, no idea if RB is what they'd want in a move up. For the Bears sake, I'd love to trade out of 3(but stay in the top 10). I do think Fournette is probably the player a team may be enticed to move up for in this draft. I haven't heard anything about them wanting to move up to 2. Fournette is a logical move for the Panthers with Jonathan Stewart entering his 10th season (he just extended his contract one year, through '18). Jacksonville has been linked to Fournette. Carolina jumping ahead of Jacksonville to #3 would be incredibly fortunate for the Bears. Davell spelled out some potential trade scenarios. According to the traditional draft chart, #3 = 2200 pts, #8 = 1400, #40 = 500, #64 = 270 (total =2170). Panthers 5th rounder is worth 30 points, making the trade perfectly even. I would move back 5 spots in a hot second to pick up those two second rounders, as would most, but I'd be stunned if that was the offer. Think of what you could rack up with #8, 36, 40, 64, 67.

    A WR? I'm not much of a colts fan but really a WR? These guys need a pass rusher something wacky They have TY Hilton and....? Not a fan of the available pass rushers with the 15th pick. I did consider Elijah Qualls.
