  1. He is a bench player in that he has filled that role in the past. His play this past two seasons suggests he's more than that to the right teams. Something tells me the Cubs won't be able to look past his batting average and strikeouts. The Cubs sure as heck won't be the right team for him.
  2. Wouldn't have minded Huff for the Cubs...but at $11m per? Egh. I don't think he'll have a repeat of his 2010 season in his career.
  3. Give the man a pallet of Twinkies and he'll sign.
  4. He's the best prospect in baseball. However, he seems more like a potential yearly solid All Star than a dynamic potential MVP candidate to me. There's something more tantalizing about Bryce Harper... I dunno, I'm not sold on Trout as having superstar upside for some reason. I wouldn't trade Soto for him.
  5. A's and Iwakuma making me look bad. #-o http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news?slug=reu-japaniwakuma hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
  6. Archer apparently has good movement on his fastball, while McNutt's is a bit flatter (although McNutt controls his better than Archer). I'd probably flip those two and then throw Dolis into consideration with Lopez and Cabrera.
  7. Not using all their timeouts at the end was also a dumb move on Purdue's part. It was like they were playing for the field goal at the very end; just sloppy and uninspired playcalling. I feel ill having to root for Ohio State. Blech.
  8. 11/18 3B Vitters 1/3 2B Flaherty 0/3 RP Smit 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K
  9. Was it me, or did Millen and Theismann sound like they were on the verge of getting into a slap fight in the booth? I nearly lost it when Theismann was going off about how teams shouldn't get cute before the half and should instead take a knee because of the Redskins/Cowboys game, followed by Matt Millen reminding him of a better example of that.
  10. +1 Davis has some upside and would be an excellent buy low candidate, especially if it only costs the Cubs someone like Castillo or Chirinos. However, if the Cubs are going into 2011 expecting Davis to live up to his numbers in the minors as the starting 1B, we're going to be in for a rough year.
  11. 11/17 3B Vitters 0/4, 2 K, E (3, missed catch) LF Flaherty 0/3, 2 K RP Carpenter 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K
  12. I like FanGraphs' article on Upton. Also, his career home/road splits are impressively stark. Even though it's really common for players to perform better at home than on the road, Upton's .384 wOBA at home and .326 wOBA on the road makes me wonder.
  13. 11/16 3B Vitters 1/4 PR/DH Flaherty 0/0, R SP Muyco 2 IP, 5 H, 6 ER, 2 BB, 2 K, 1 HR
  14. 11/15 2B Flaherty 1/4, R 3B Vitters 1/4, R, 2B (6) RP Cales .2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 0 K
  15. Kansas State/Xavier was enough to last me the year, in fairness.
  16. Gus Johnson's call of the Jacksonville TD.
  17. Bring back Jason Marquis. Now there was a guy who knew how to win.
  18. Bill Simmons is going to lose his mind.
  19. Because it's America's Team. Pathetic. They're going to get slaughtered and Fox is stupid enough to think people want to watch that? Nation Taking No Joy In Cowboys' Pathetic Collapse...'Actually, Never Mind, It's Really Fun,' Reports Populace
  20. There's a chance he cans Childress after the inevitable loss to the Packers...but geez, $13m for Childress? That's impressively dumb.
  21. That looked ugly regardless of the outcome of the play. Ouch.
  22. Come on come on come on come on... YES!
