David's system settings have reverted to 2006. His algorithm must have tripped up when it came across us talking about Matt Murton on the Cubs.

I still to this day don't understand why he was discarded like he was. I don't think anyone bought his advanced defensive stats (or possibly we were still in the post-Moneyball/pre-semi reliable advanced defensive stats world), his bat didn't profile well enough for a corner OF, couldnt play center, couldn't hit well enough to be a DH or corner IF. But I guess I don't understand why he didn't at least find a role as a 4th OF somewhere. He was certainly good enough for a 25 man roster spot over the last 8 years.

I was going to post the same thing. I had a Murton love that bordered on the creepy. Cubs twitter has been going insane all morning with the news.

HOW IS THIS IN MINOR SIGNINGS!!!!????
-
This thread needs more Cardinals bashing
-
ESPN is so ridiculous...30 minutes after Gary put on a Michigan hat, they already start speculating whether he will keep his commitment because Michigan didn't have his LOI yet.
-
hahaha i love this
-
Signing of the Stars is the most ridiculous yet awesome thing ever.
-
Bet you wouldn't say that if he had a burnt orange or purple shirt under there haha
-
41-9 and 25-0 runs after starting up 15-4 yeesh IU shooting 61%, UM shooting 28%
-
i havent watched a ton either but it seems to me like he doesn't have the pieces needed to run "Hoiball". I think assuming GarPax survives this season they will start building the team to fit his style.
-
Don't forget Jeets and Brady. Also Harbaugh wrote an article for The Player's Tribune today about how great Ann Arbor/UM is which I would call very shrewd timing.
-
Right and despite absolutely no comments regarding why he is retiring you presume it's because the Lions are inept.
-
What does Lions ineptitude have to do with them retiring? Maybe a little for Barry but he could have easily forced himself out of town and same with Calvin. lions have made the playoffs in 2 of the last 4 seasons and were a Rodgers Hail Mary from finishing the season winning 7 of their last 8. I highly doubt he's retiring because the team sucks. Barry said that was the reason so yeah, a lot more than a little bit. He said he'd retire unless released or traded to contender and the Lions refused if memory serves, If Calvin was winning and playing in SBs I highly doubt he'd be retiring. Like half the 49ers retired one season removed from a conference title game and 2 years removed from a super bowl.

Sort of. He agreed to take time to reconsider which he very well could considering it's only been a month since his season ended. I read that as, he told Caldwell right after the season that he would take time to reconsider, and this is his decision after that period.

Aaaaand Megatron is no more.

Disagree 100 percent. A hitter who slashes 280/350/450 absolutely has more business hitter at the top of the order than one who hits 280/300/500. The top of the order hitters are table setters, and so you want those players to get on base at a high rate for your middle of the order hitters to drive in. The idea that it doesn't matter whether a highly disciplined hitter hits second or sixth is ridiculous. Here's a pretty detailed analysis: http://www.retrosheet.org/Research/RuaneT/lineup_art.htm

Do the right thing Rashan Gary

Is the "smart" baseball philosophy still that lineup construction has minimal effect at best over a full season?
-
One of the strangest things about this Bulls team is that they have almost no supporting cast in place, which over the past decade or so has been a consistent strength. When Derrick, Jimmy and Pau are pulling their weight they can win many games, but if one or two of them are off and you have to rely on Taj, Niko, Snell, McDermott and/or Moore to produce its a gamble every time.
-
That sequence where Jimmy scored, then stole it, had a breakaway layup and then stole it again and had another breakaway layup was awesome. Based on watching only 1 Lakers game, Russell looks like a disaster.

?????? Hurt Michigans best player

So this happened tonight:
