    So are you saying he was topping out at 95-96, or that the gun had him at 88-89? 95-96. Damn, I hope that's true.

    Boredom?

    Anyway, never meant to start a hockey debate in the game thread by bringing up Kane and Toews. I'd much rather concentrate on how awesome Anthony Rizzo is (which was the discussion to begin with). I share the big time mancrush. Given how well he has hit this year, what are you guys expecting from him at his peak? I think it's safe to say we are well beyond the Adam LaRoche talk of last year, right?

    To me it came off as him saying hockey is a trashy sport, and my point was that given the fans have the highest average income it might be hard to make that case. ETA: Doesn't mean that's what he meant by it, just saying that's how I took it (probably wrong of me), and the income response was meant to counter that, nothing else. I love all 4 of the NBA, NHL, NFL, and MLB, and hockey is not my favorite of that group. Had no intention of trying to say hockey was better than any other sport, because I don't even believe that.

    NHL fans have the highest average income among fans of the big 4 sports, by a good amount. Ok? Contradicting him saying they "live with the rats." Nothing wrong with not being a hockey fan, just think it's silly to put down people that are, especially with false generalizations.

    You only think so? I guess you're right. He has easily passed Cutler and Rose in my man crush rankings. Just think Noah needed a mention here. No love for Kane and Toews?
  9. SABR Gamer
    Over Kane, fine. But not Toews. Not even Kane. It's a joke that he's above either.

    I will be disappointed if we don't get Appel. Gray would be a great addition to the farm, but I am really hoping Appel falls to us. I just see him as the better and safer player. I'm not adding anything profound here, just feeling out how many others would also be as disappointed as I would be to not get Appel.

    I don't think he's much more than an average-ish, cost controlled, 2nd division starter for the next 2-3 years. There's nothing wrong with him being that either. He's not an elite player and never will be, but he still has value.
  12. SABR Gamer
    I wasn't talking about whether it you trade your core or not. It just doesn't really mean anything. It's just some imaginary line where a certain amount of projection and years of control puts you into a different group. Lol, it's just a loosely defined term, not really worth getting worked up about. Idc what you call it. ETA: The way I think of core, "long term assets" may be a more fitting term.
  13. SABR Gamer
    At this point, I think it makes more sense to add to the core with players who are well under 30. ETA: At least on the path that Theo has decided on.
  14. SABR Gamer
    Like Davell said, being part of the core doesn't make you untouchable, you are just a major part of the teams success and should either cost a ton to acquire or be someone of value to your team as a player or trade chip.
  15. SABR Gamer
    Pretty much this. Having players past 30 is okay, but I'd much rather then not be part of the core group. I don't care if someone 30+ is part of the core as long as you don't give up what is potentially core players to get him. FA signing, fine. Reclamation guy that develops into a core player. Or homegrown. Yeah, that's more what I meant to say. I don't want to give up valuable assets, other than cash, for players in their 30s. I was also talking about right now, not necessarily in the future once we are already competitive.

    I don't think Headley would be the best use of the assets it would require to get him.

    Nate is one of the best backup point guards in the NBA.

    Not a big deal, but a pet peeve of mine when people write a 1.098 OPS as .1098. Unless you are making fun of neely, which is very possible, and if that is the case then carry on. Wow, transpose a decimal point one time and it never goes away. I guess if you can't argue the point, then bring up typing skills. There is nothing to argue with you. You are barely coherent and when I brought up wOBA your response was about OBP, then when you are corrected you still didn't respond to what I said about his wOBA. I'll consider responding when you say something worthy of a response.

    wOBA up to .388 now.

    The Rizzo trade is so unbelievably good. I love that man.
  23. SABR Gamer
    lol, love.
  24. SABR Gamer
    Really want to do a Vegeta meme about this, but I won't. Please do.
  25. SABR Gamer
    Totally could see this happening. Why do I let myself think this could happen.
