    I think that's where you're wrong. I think defensive performance does vary from play to play and from game to game just like offensive performance varies from PA to PA and from game to game. We'll have to agree to disagree. That's your argument, that defense is a static ability?

    There's a strong consensus with projections that Wells will be around a 4.15 FIP for about 160 IP this year. That's about a 2.5 WAR, and puts him among the Top 50 SP from last year. I will take that from the 3rd-4th best starter in my rotation.

    Mizzou loses in Norman, ugh. Rimmed out way to many looks, and then Hightower made sure there wasn't any comeback in the last minute. Week off before a home game against Nebraska, take care of business and it's 3-1 heading into Lawrence.

    Good for Norm. He's a class act but he's 63 and already has a championship ring courtesy of USC. Makes sense that he would want to stay with a program with less pressure, tradition and expectations. Less sanctions too. Don't forget sanctions.

    I love Cales as a prospect more than anyone this side of his family, but he's not close to the number 7 guy in the system.

    I know, right? Who wants to see stuff where people compete based on time or other tangible factors. I'd much rather see a panel of judges score the participants arbitrarily. Basically, if it's not a race or curling, it's a waste of time. Which is like 80% of the Winter games.

    Don't tell that to Mizzou's coaches, whatever you do.

    Time for the Nick Saban Tour de SEC to continue I say.

    The only contract weighing the team down is Soriano. And I guess maybe Silva. This notion that the Cubs are hamstrung by a ton of long term deals ignores the fact that all of them(again, save Soriano) have gotten production equivalent to or better than the salary they've received.

    Please and thank you to something like 2/12 for Sheets with incentives for IP. Even at 100 IP a year he's a good value, as long as his stuff isn't completely gone.

    I'm trying to get more into my NFL team, so I'll take the Chiefs.

    yeah, but I've given actual baseball logic for why AZ makes more sense in this thread. The votes for florida are "they'd be closer to me!" The only baseball reason to move to florida is that they'll provide facilities that are enough better to offset all the other reasons to stay in AZ. If the reasons to stay in AZ were so compelling(my memory is that the main thing is having crappy FL weather impact the hub of your in-season operations), wouldn't we see a lot of teams leaving FL for AZ? I think it might be overblown.

    The obvious answer here is that the Rockets only won because Jordan had money on them.
  15. Transmogrified Tiger
    Oh good, steroid news.
  16. Transmogrified Tiger
    The rare "blow up the receiver and still get an INT"
  17. Transmogrified Tiger
    A Ravens defender just took a charge. Fascinating.
  18. Transmogrified Tiger
    You bite your tongue. Really happy Mizzou got this win. Hopefully they can stay hot and win two winnable road games, because I'd like a 3-1 start and we aren't winning in Lawrence. Also, Frank Martin is a crazy person, he smacked a player today. He did go on a nice diatribe on Mizzou's behalf(it's a smack in the face they aren't picked to do anything while Villanova gets picked to be a Final 4 team), so that was nice of him.

    Did some Eagles guy just say he was from "THE Southern California"? Is he illiterate?
  20. Transmogrified Tiger
    This offseason is going to be nauseating with all the Nebraska hype. And DeMarco Murray is only a Junior? He's been at OU for thirty years.

    You can't even make this stuff up. Bama's trophy will be displayed.....at Wal-Mart. http://sharetool.co.cc/share.php?url=bustersports.com/blog/buster-blog/2010/01/08/alabamas-bcs-trophy-to-be-on-display-at-wal-mart/

    Brown gets labeled a villain if he brings the backup into a blowout and has him throw the ball all over the place, probably rightly so.
  23. Transmogrified Tiger
    Who's the last one that wwas worse. I'm honestly drawing a blank thinking of a worse QB to win a title. Krenzel, although his team didn't actually win the game.
  24. Transmogrified Tiger
    Quarterbacks, especially ones with the gulf of talent/experience like McCoy/Gilbert, are much more valuable and important than any individual baseball player. Baseball is a series of individual actions, football is a coordinated team sport reliant on pinpoint timing and communication between players. Congrats to Bama on beating Texas without McCoy on a fumbled shovel pass. Counting the coin toss, that should be roughly their 36th title.
  25. Transmogrified Tiger
    3 straight bad calls on PI go Bama's way, jeez
