    I'm sure the overpay is to get him to sign with a team that has no concerns telling people they don't intend to compete this year (or next). Not saying that makes the signing justified but I'm sure that's why. Davidson said yesterday that their offseason is pretty much done in terms of building next year's roster.

    Dammit, I mixed up Placido Polanco and Omar Infante which prevented me from 9/9

    Phillies went 5-1 against the cubs after the Cubs embarrassed them last September in Philly

    Jeez, they are breezing through these rounds faster than a fantasy football draft

    First thought was another dump, but we gave up a pick to grab him so I guess more veteran leadership? Obviously he is pretty hated around the league though

    Same. I remember probably 20 years ago my friends used to quiz me by giving me a team and a position and I would name the starter at that position and I was like 95% accurate. Now I'm like 'if the answer is not juan pierre, carlos zambrano, the dude hitting .400 or jeff conine I'm going to fail this category' Anyways, my rarest answer today was Fernando Rodney for Cubs/Nationals (0.4%)

    Not sure if I'm reading useful information about a Blackhawks draft pick or taking an eye exam
  11. UMFan83
    At 35 the Blackhawks take Adam Gajan, a goalie from Slovakia. He is the first goalie off the board in the draft, but NHL.com had him ranked 65th and the 6th goalie. Given how many 2nd's we own I'm ok with a reach for the top goalie I guess Edit: Jersey beat me
  12. UMFan83
    Haha they really wanted him and were willing to trade up but got him at 19 anyways
  13. UMFan83
    He claims he hasn’t decided whether to spend another year at Michigan but I mean come on. Hobey Baker as a freshman, frozen four appearance, number 3 pick. No point to him staying at UM.

    And technically face elimination with a loss. Feels like the US could have had 8+ goals in this one

    Watching this is like me playing FIFA on easy. Thru ball leading to a 1-on-1 with the keeper, advancing the ball swiftly with little resistance, crosses in the box finding your players more often than not, etc.

    How many years do incoming freshman that get drafted tend to stay in college? 1-2 years max?
  17. UMFan83
    There were some rankings that had Moore as the number 7 prospect in the draft. Great value

    The Cubs have been outscored 17-2 since Mancini’s error. I blame him
  19. UMFan83
    Looks like our hot streak is over
  20. UMFan83
    Holy crap that was very cringe worthy by Carey Price I feel for him

    You are right that it's not going to work, but I don't think the Bulls had a ton of options here. Due to them being over the cap and his salary cap hold, if they let Vuc walk they basically have like $8m to replace his production and stay under the tax. The only other legitimate options were to work out a sign and trade which I would have been all for, or another tear it down rebuild that I can't mentally deal with right now. But I really have no idea what was out there in the S+T market and whether it would have made the Bulls better. If they weren't going to tear down the team, this was the 2nd best of the 3 realistic options.

    What did you miss on? I thought the 500 HR + 3000 hit parts were a breeze (A's 3k Hits - Henderson, SD 3k Hits - Gwynn, Orioles 500 HR - Frank Robinson, Twins 500 HR - Killebrew, 3000+ hits and 500+ hrs is pretty easy unless you assumed someone like Babe Ruth was in both (only 2800 hits). I went with Eddy Murray there). I'm realizing that with the team squares, the answer either comes to me right away or I spent a crapload of time thinking of someone. I did Dave Winfield for Padres and Twins, but havent had a chance to go back and do the other 3.

    Just trying to think of this from an NBA standpoint. This may be laughably wrong but.... Kane at his peak had a Jason Tatum like stature. Everyone respects him as a superstar, you can win championships with him as your top guy, he's in just about everyone's top 10 players list, but no one is calling him the best player in basketball. Bedard's upside is more of Giannis/Durant. Not quite prime LeBron but if all goes well he can be in the inner circle of hockey greats. Flame away lol

    At least it seems like Bellinger might be coming around after a rough stretch

    1 run on 6 hits since the 1st inning of the Sunday game (15 innings)
