This needs to be repeated. Marshall's been an excellent relief pitcher for the Cubs, but they were not going to get anything for him in terms of draft compensation following this season. Frankly, if they held onto him and a deal fell through at the deadline, they'd be stuck with Marshall with nothing to show for it. It's part of the reason the Papelbon signing was so damn hilarious after the new CBA was announced. I like Marshall and it sucks to see him go, but considering the Cubs traded him for a young, cost-controlled pitcher and two prospects, this is actually a pretty good deal. On the flip side, the Cubs will be able to re-sign Marshall after next season without having to give up any draft picks if they so choose. -
Wood is a seriously intriguing buy low candidate...but trading Marshall for him straight up would be too much for me.

Game 14: SEAHAWKS @ CHICAGO 12:00 PM and off season talk
Outshined_One replied to minnesotacubsfan's topic in Other Sports
Carimi, too. He was starting to show some promise at the beginning of the season, but when he went down, it was the first domino to fall for the OL. Bleh, and I was having fun watching this team, too. Hanie's been bad, but his surrounding cast sure as hell hasn't helped him. -
Would we even be able to match that type of deal? If we included Castro in a deal, yes. If we're just talking about guys in our system, no. I'd put Grandal and Alonso ahead of Brett Jackson.

Our long national nightmare is over. -
Gaffney launching himself into that Patriots fan's lap was funny, though.

Just happened with Grossman, too. 7-0 Patriots.

I wonder if the Diamondbacks would be amenable to including Goldschmidt in a trade for Garza? H'se put up excellent numbers in the minors, plus held his own during his stint in the majors this season. It's too bad the 2011 draftees can't be traded. One of Bauer, Bradley, or Chafin would be fantastic.

I know Wisconsin has QB issues beyond Wilson, but I think Crist would just add numbers to those issues, not solve any. Quantity would be welcome at this point. Wisconsin has done a miserable job of recruiting and developing QBs, and their current crop is not pretty after Wilson. Crist would fall into their recent pattern, especially considering Tolzien and Wilson started somewhere else. Crist may not be very good, but he's probably better than anyone else the Badgers have right now.

I would like to take the opportunity to thank the Colorado Rockies for drafting Russell Wilson and signing him, which ultimately led NC State to releasing Wilson. Far and away, he's the best QB I've ever seen on the Badgers. If he were four or five inches taller, I'd have to think he would be getting serious first round consideration in the NFL Draft. Oregon is going to be a hell of an opponent in the Rose Bowl. I don't have a great feeling about the game, but at least Ball and Wilson should give the Badgers a chance if the game turns into a shootout.

He clearly made contact with the punter well after the ball was away. He disengaged from the blocker and went for the punter well after the ball was punted away, resulting in contact and a five yard flag. The refs got it right.

Stewart/Dewitt swap?
Outshined_One replied to seanhopper's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
Considering the FA market is absolutely wretched at 3B this offseason, rolling the dice with Stewart wouldn't be a bad move. He'd at the very least be an upgrade over DeWitt. -
I'm not a huge fan of giving Capuano anything more than a one year deal with something like a vesting option for a second year based on IP. Regarding Wei Yin Chen, do you know if he's declared free agency yet? Apparently he has that option available if he wants to jump to the other side of the pond.

From the Fan Graphs article: Works for me! Oakland's park has an insane amount of foul territory, to boot, so hopefully the move to Wrigley will help his numbers.

Tim Tebow is football's David Eckstein.

That goal line screen at the end of the first half was a mind-numbingly awful call. Hanie shouldn't have thrown it in the first place, but what a terrible call.

Arkansas is still looming and will probably end up at #3 tomorrow. After that...it's anyone's guess between VTech, Oklahoma State, Stanford, Boise State, and Houston to round out the Top 5. Yeesh.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaand Arizona State blows it.

Utah can still win the Pac-12 South if Arizona State loses to Arizona tonight and Cal next week; USC beats UCLA, and Utah takes care of business against Colorado.
