    Oh yeah I completely forgot his knob slobbering over Tebow.

    Meanwhile the football conference sent a team to the playoff. What a strange world we live in

    I mean Christ the guy was a 5 win player at age 19

    Wait Harper is a free agent after 2015? I'm not super excited to give away guys like Bryant and Russell but you're talking about acquiring a guy who is younger than Bryant, has a higher ceiling, and has proven it in the majors at an age where 99% of players are either in college or the low minors. He could easily be in the same area code as Trout as early as next year

    For Harper AND Zimmerman id expect us to give up something like Bryant, Baez, Russell and CJ Edwards.

    Julie DiCaro doesn't report stuff too often but I think she's fairly reputable when she does. Plus she has no reason to end up with a pie on her face as she will be out of a job in 3 weeks. Edit: ok [expletive] this [expletive] I give up. No more posting twitter [expletive], or if I do don't spend 45 seconds adding commentary before posting she seems pretty dumb whenever i've seen her comment on stuff and i could swear she reported that she was hearing tanaka to the cubs was done at some point, which would be like the opposite of what you said Hmm... Ok then ignore everything except the part where she is going to be unemployed in 3 weeks, not a good time to be reporting false/unreliable rumors

    I'd pack his bags for Harper. One in the hand is worth two in the bush (I think Bryant has a high floor but he could very easily not end up a star). He does K a lot... Plus Harper is younger.. i'd imagine he would have put a pretty good hurting on triple A pitching this year too.. I would put tier 1 and tier 2 Tier 1: Bryant, Soler, Russell Tier 2: Alcantara, Baez, Castro You can choose 1 from each tier or 2 from tier 2 if you want. Obviously there would be more going back but in terms of the major pieces this is what I would be ok with.

    I was excited about the Shields rumor until I saw it was by Jason "Wade to the Bulls is imminent" Goff I can't remember what it was but I think he made another high profile reporting blunder more recently.

    Mooney says the Cubs showed Lester a video that ended with him on the mound as the Cubs won the World Series.
  11. UMFan83
    I'm wondering that too. Their main beat guy says he's not going anywhere. I don't think the Rays are eager to deal with us currently

    Meph, who was basically a jacked up version of Kyle, and his love affair with Khalil Greene
  13. UMFan83
    Yeah and look where he ended up, in the ALL STAR GAME. LaHair 1, TT 0
  14. UMFan83
    He's responding to everyone that sent him a tweet since he signed. Amazing patience.
  15. UMFan83
    I think it says more about Barry Alvarez than anything Good point
  16. UMFan83
    Not news but its always funny to see what Boras says at the winter meetings. Also... Not sure what that means..
  17. UMFan83
    Dunno who this guy is, but sign all the players, Theo Local sports radio guy. I don't know what station he's with now. and @injuryexpert is will carroll who i am not sure but i think we hated 10 years ago yeah because that idiot tried to tell us that mark prior was permanently broken
  18. UMFan83
    haha i beat you again in the WM thread well thats on you for not putting it in the most relevant thread

    I almost feel bad for Wisconsin. You'd think they've built a pretty respectable football program overall, but in the past few years their head coaches have bolted to Arkansas and Oregon State. What does that say about Wisconsin/the Big 10?
  20. UMFan83
    Are you starting to give in to theo's almighty tank and win plan yet?

    Jesus if our lineup next year was.... Alcantara Castro Rizzo Upton Bryant Soler Baez Montero Lester Although I'm guessing Alcantara, Castro, or Baez would be gone in a Jupton trade

    The older they are, the more wisdom they can impart on the youngsters. Has Ricky officially retired yet?
