  1. Where's that ignore switch at again? I think that will go in effect for one month. Come on, Adam can be a servicable NBA role player. Not tons of upside, but he can stick around for a while with the right fit. He's much more athletic than he gets credit for (whiteness will do that), has a good pull-up game with a streaky outside shot and plays solid defense. He also knows how to flop and get himself to the line where he's deadly. He's off the charts for any teams looking at character/intangiables and will play any role asked of him, which is important when you're talking about a guy on the end of the bench. He's a max effort guy but can play under control and if there's anything left to develop, he'll get it out. You can get Haluska's skillset without using a draft pick on him. White guys who can shoot a little but aren't fast enough to penetrate against or defend NBA guards are not rare.
  2. Richardson for Wright happened. And the Blazers take Byars, kudos to them. Whoops, looks like he's a 76er now. New Orleans wastes their 2nd rounder on Adam Haluska.
  3. The Cubs have the 3rd best pythag record in the NL(tied with Mets and Dodgers), only one loss behind the Brewers.
  4. I can't believe we're 40 picks in and Byars is still out there.
  5. wow, Landry is an awful pick Stephen A. Smith is so funny being that emphatic since he's wrong.
  6. Walrond got torched and Iowa trails 10-5. EPatt 2/4 Cedeno 1/4, HR, K Murton 3/4 Soto 0/4, 2 K Colvin was 1/4 for Tennessee.
  7. That's poor logic, just because he got 2 banners doesn't validate a pick...otherwise Green and Humphrey would be lotto picks. (Keep in mind I like the pick...and I HATE Noah.) it's better than "Noah sucks" with no further explanation No, it's not. okay, this is ridiculous. Here: Michael Jordan sucked great argument, right? no better than: B.J. Armstrong is a legend, look at his rings.
  8. Someone is going to get a steal with Byars.
  9. Please don't tell me we could've tied had Keller not screwed the pooch.
  10. Do the Blazers feel sorry for the Knicks or something? Why in the world would they do that?
  11. I really like that pick for the Hawks. Law, Smith, Johnson, Horford, Pachulia doesn't look too bad.
  12. Stephen A Smith talking faster than that kid from the Iron Giant when he got hopped up on coffee.
  13. Jimmy doesn't like Ryno either. Jimmy thinks he was overrated.
  14. My team plays in a real league that doesn't use the DH. Pujols Utley Cabrera Santana Peavy
  15. oh for crying out loud....did you even read the article. Yes, absolutely. He makes a point to note that the Cubs waited until Barret's value was at his lowest to trade him, which is completely a hindsight argument. In the offseason, when his value was high, there was no need or desire to trade him. Trading him at his highest value wasn't in anyone's thoughts. So its a nonsensical argument. That's true only if you assume it's impossible for Barrett's value to go up ever again.
  16. Sacrificing offense for defense has been one thing that Piniella has been (rightly) willing to do for the most part. I don't think the difference between Burrell and your average RF defender is much. He's one of the worst defensive LF's in the game. That said, the easy solution is to move Soriano to RF.
  17. No, he doesn't. He doesn't have near the reputation, and he doesn't have a position to be eligible at.
  18. According to a THT writer, it's everyone's favorite lightning rod, DePo. Link The article isn't flawless, it certainly gives DePo the benefit of the doubt from hindsight, and it curiously says that Choi went "back" to Japan, but I found it an interesting read.
  19. Players make a large portion of the pitcher voting, right? Anyone who's faced Z in the last month or so is probably thinking he's an All-Star.
  20. We got him from Baltimore for Sosa.
  21. Wright had an RBI double in the first, Rundle with an RBI single in the 2nd.
  22. Theriot is beter on the basepaths, but I've heard that Fontenot is the superior feilder. I don't think you heard correctly.
  23. Damien Miller goes 3 for 5 with the walkoff HR, he had a .571 OPS going into the game. wtg Astros
