    Where's Danny Tartabull when you need him?

    28 half Innings of baseball and 1 total run scored this series. And of course that one run was off a double by Sczuzr
  4. UMFan83
    So maybe we should fire the hitting coach. Iirc he was not Maddons guy anyways
  5. UMFan83
    Rizzo is in a 1-19 slump
  6. UMFan83
    I thought the max was 5/90

    At first i thought this was ridiculous, but I guess its 2 years with a partially guaranteed 3rd year. And if the cap is really going up as much as it is, its not a huge deal to pay him $4.8 mil I still think we need to get a lot more athletic as a team and MDJ doesn't help us in this aspect. I'd be fine with him as a 6th man but I'd like a better starting SF.

    Haha I tried to listen to the recording of the call, this is embarassingly terrible. Saad can't even hear the questions becuase of a horrible echo. Come on CBJ!

    This is run almost exactly like my confernece calls at work. No one mutes their phones, people keep beeping in and out etc
  11. UMFan83
    Yeah I'm thinking Sharp and Bickell are still both leaving.

  13. UMFan83
    Agreed. He's off my "pitchers that make me nervous when they come in" list
  14. UMFan83
    Welp 8 runs in the last 7 games
  15. UMFan83
    Yeah he was a really likable dude. Care about losing him more that Ladd, Byfuglien, Bolland, Campbell and Leddy
  16. UMFan83
    4 for last 46 with RISP
  17. UMFan83
    [tweet] [/tweet] So $3mil left for 7 players...obviously still have some work to do.

    So Montero and Ross have combined for 272 PA at catcher, Ross making 70 of them, or 26% of the PA between the two. Is that normal for a backup catcher? Just seems like he's playing more, but I guess if you figure Ross is guaranteed to catch ever Lester start, thats 20% right there.

    This move saves very little from what the cap situation was a day ago. People factored in ~4m for saad and they took back players. right but like you said they took back players. So for Saad's 4 million they have 3 guys making about 5 million to fill roster spots. Filled 2 roster spots for a million and one of those roster spots is a legit top 2 line center

    Sharp-Toews-Hossa Teuvo-Anisimov-Kane Dano-Shaw-Panarin Versteeg/Bickell-Kruger-Nordstrom/Hartman/Morin
  21. UMFan83
    Is that true? They took back like 5 million in salary on the trade, or roughly what Saad would have made. Of course they got at least 2 probably 3 players that will fill up that space but I think they might still need to get rid of Sharp and/or Bickell still. This does open up the possibility of bringing back someone like Oduya, Richards or maybe even Vermette, no?

    I'm calming down but dammit I liked Saad a little too much to be happy right now. CBJ fan reaction seems to be very happy but wishing they didnt have to give up Dano.
  24. UMFan83
    Is this really better than picks? Everyone is saying this Dano was the key to the deal. Late first round pick in 2013, had 8 G and 13 assists as a center in 35 games. Only 20. So I guess he was playing pretty close to Saad's pace (Saad had 52 points, Dano was on pace for 49) and at a more premium position.
  25. UMFan83
    I'm guessing they couldn't get rid of Sharp's salary. And when Saad wouldn't go for the bridge deal, salary cap hell bit them in the ass. Players in order of "you have to absolutely [expletive] keep them" I'd go Toews, Kane, Keith, Hammer, then Saad. Unless signing him for 6.5m was going to cost you one of those 4, I would have resigned him. But I could be thinking irrationally right now. 6.5m is a lot. But if he signs for 6.5m, there had to be someone willing to eat at least $3.5m of Sharps number. I don't care if its a straight salary dump, you do that deal, Saad would be making close to what Sharp was making only he's like 24 and is already more productive than a 34 year old Sharp is. Oops sorry Saad is only 22, even worse
