Yeah, unless Georgia is offering Calipari money, there's no reason for Anderson to go there. Plus, like you mention, I'd be very surprised at Anderson going to a worse situation for a few more dollars with how family oriented he makes everything.

I imagine it does. Otherwise there's no reason for Greene's .470/.552/.877/1.429 line to be in front of Weeks's .483/.607/.948/1.555 line. -
Who would YOU delete off of the Cubs?

I'm sure there's a few who didn't discount FanGraphs' valuation just because it looks "bogus". -
You think you can count on Bradley to play a full season? Something he's done exactly once when he was 24. Both Soriano and Aramis have spent time on the DL in the last few seasons. The other guy you are counting on OPSing 850+ is a catcher, last year there were exactly three (in 2007 there were 2) who put up those numbers, fortunately one of them was Soto, but he's no lock to do it again. Last year the Cubs got remarkable (lucky) production out of CF an 2nd. They'll not likely see that again this year. If Lee can't play and Hoffpauir doesn't cut it the Cubs are in trouble. Okay, so if the Cubs get below expected production from over half their lineup, they're in trouble.

In the situation I presented, they lose their coach, their incoming recruiting class, and their 3 best and most important players. Do you think Memphis is a surefire tourney team with Kemp/Sallie/Mack/Witherspoon/Niles/Taggert as primary players with a lesser coach leading them?

I've heard UGA would have interest, but I'm not sure why Anderson would want to go there. He's about to be paid well, and Mizzou has a better current team, better future prospects, better facilities, better basketball tradition, better fan support, better basketball conference, and the only tie Anderson has to Georgia is "he used to be an assistant in the same conference". Doesn't make sense to me.
-
Because as Calipari has shown, Memphis has a golden ticket to the tournament every year. Throw in the extra million that Memphis can offer on top of the free ride to the tournament and it's a decent sell. That seems like quite a stretch. Anyone who's any good should be able to make the tournament consistently regardless of conference. If anything, Memphis' awful conference decreases their chance of an at large, meaning they're an unlucky conference tourney from the NIT in many years.

Re: Roster Cuts
Transmogrified Tiger replied to Tarver's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
There's a couple catching prospects between Daytona and Tennessee that have to be excited about this. -
If Cal's recruits follow him to UK, why would Anderson(or anyone in a power conference) want the Memphis job? The current roster would be barren and it would be a step down in the level of competition. As it pertains to Anderson, they've been waiting until the season was done to hammer out the exact details of an extension and raise(1.3 million was the number I heard). The one and only reason for Anderson to go to Memphis would be dollar signs, and considering his character I really doubt that he'd choose that over all the other advantages he'd have staying at Mizzou(or even going to another power conference school).

Looks like just a verbal. He's a part of the Facebook group campaigning for Calipari to take the UK job.

The Cubs are anything but screwed if Lee is hurt for a while or isn't above average offensively. That's the benefit of having at least 5 guys who are projected to OPS in the .850+ range. If you lose one of them or one of them disappoints, you aren't as hurt as if Pujols goes down for 2 months or something. Especially if that position is 1B and has the best replacement in terms of projected production. Now if Lee's hand falls off and Hoffpauir OPS's .700 for 2 months it obviously will hurt, but it doesn't sink the team by any stretch of the imagination. They'd still be the odds on favorite to win the central and a very strong favorite to make the playoffs.

Bumping this to ask for some trade input. Someone offered Ervin Santana and Ramon Hernandez for Soto. With Martinez already on my team, and being a big fan of Hernandez as a sleeper, I'm intrigued by what I could get for Soto. Any thoughts on what I should target? For potential guys, the other team has Hernandez, Morneau, Cano(on the bench), BJ Upton, Lackey, Ervin, Z, J Sanchez, and Jurrjens. I'm thinking about counter offering Soto and Loney for Morneau, Cano, and Hernandez.

Gaudin Spring Training 2006: 7.43 ERA in 13.1 IP Gaudin Regular Season 2006: 143 ERA+ in 64 IP Granted, Gaudin's peripherals weren't very good in 2006, but the point remains.

So I win in half the scenarios, awesome. Go MSU and Nova.

Boy do I hate having to root for OU. You draw 80 fouls a game Griffin, stop clapping after every single one you lazy stooge. And make a free throw.
-
OU has no chance if they can't make UNC pay for double teaming Griffin.
-
OU looks like garbage in the early going.
-
yes, Go Griffins Go

Is it just the online feed that's giving us Gus and Len without them knowing? Gus was mocking Len pretty good.

Suton just volleyed the ball off his foot to himself for a basket, awesome.

Marmol is first year arbitration eligible after this year, and is a free agent after 2012.

How was that last whistle not a corner? How?
-
There's no maximum, is there? Because we should really get at least 8. And I've only been watching since the 60th minute.

Hejduk redeeming himself with some nice runs.
