    He's utility man who's average to slightly above average at most things, but doesn't do anything in particular very well. He'd make a decent 25th man, but that's about it.

    I'd like to thank Jim Nantz for his attempted voodoo and jinxes.
  3. Outshined_One
    :D
  4. Outshined_One
    As a general FYI, under the new rule changes, the first day of the draft is now only the first two rounds.

    It also depends on which side of things you're looking at. In terms of pitchers, the Cubs have done an outstanding job of spotting and developing pitching prospects. When it comes to hitting prospects, the Cubs have done pretty poorly.

    A-Rod
  7. Outshined_One
    Not too shabby. I like the first two rounds. The third round I'm okay with.
  8. Outshined_One
    Well, in their defense, he did multiply loaves and fishes. One doesn't drink red with seafood. Unless you're Russian.

    OHHHHHHHHHHHHH TIMEOUTIMEOUTIMEOUTIMEOUT!!!!!!!

    Isn't that fat bastard retired though? He can always be lured out with a case of Natty Light, a carton of smokes, and 32 hot wings from Buffalo Wild Wings.
  11. Outshined_One
    Yeah, David Wells was my first thought, too.
  12. Outshined_One
    And yet, we're still trying to trade for another one. When you see him in the field for an extended period of time at 2B, you'll understand.
  13. Outshined_One
    So...how are the Cubs doing today? :D
  14. Outshined_One
    He fell off the face of the planet with the Redskins and hasn't scored a TD since his days with the 49ers. I think, at best, he'll turn out to be a passable #2 WR. I don't think it's likely, but there's a possibility.

    My buddy argued with me about this big time...and lost. You only use select if you were playing 2 player. Then it's up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, b, a, select, start. The select was just to move the cursor from 1 to 2 players. Correct. I use it to determine how social of a childhood people have. If you omit the select, then you were a sad, lonely child.

    In vaguely related news, Troy Patton just opted to undergo shoulder surgery and is expected to be out of action for all of 2008.
  17. Outshined_One
    I see Samardzija is not among the names.
  18. Outshined_One
    Muy bueno!
  19. Outshined_One
    WOW. Felix Pie is doomed. At best, he'll be traded for another Derrek Lee. That's not too shabby.

    Dorsey's injuries reportedly have concerned plenty of teams. I wouldn't be surprised to see him drop out of the Top 10, especially if Ellis continues climbing. Also, my impression of Dorsey is that he could make a very good 4-3 NT in the pros. That certainly wouldn't hurt the Bears.
  21. Outshined_One
    I'm fine with all of the above, but I was basically pointing out the fact that DT could be a major weakness for the Bears next season. If the Bears take a DT in the draft, I won't complain. There might be greater needs elsewhere, but the Bears could definitely benefit from shoring up the position.
  22. Outshined_One
    Frankly, I think DT is the sleeper position for a surprise pick in the 1st or 2nd. You're basically relying on a group of guys with documented health issues and inexperience. Even if everyone's healthy, I'm skeptical about the amount of talent among that group. Harris is terrific, but what about everyone else? If one of the top two DTs (Dorsey or Ellis) falls to 14, I'd be doing cartwheels if the Bears took him. Ditto Kentwan Balmer in the 2nd.

    http://sports.aol.com/fanhouse/2008/03/05/spring-dugz-chicago-cubs/ Holy crap yes. I win at the internet!
  24. Outshined_One
    Nothing. That pretty much sums up the whole thread right there.
  25. Outshined_One
    He's a former catcher, after all!
