    How many were still playing in 84? What? I don't know? Who cares? My point is that your argument is bad because I could pick any year between 1947 and 1997 and find a slew of players from the list because we're talking 50 guys (whose careers probably average 12-18 years) over a 50 year span. Every year is going to be well represented. I wasn't trying to make a point. Just asking a [expletive] question. Calm the hell down. Without going through all the names again, I'd guess only Kareem and Malone.

    Although most of Miller's best years were behind him when the original list came out. He probably doesn't cut it.

    Why? Who wasn't eligible for the list that would be on it if you took it to current? LeBron? Duncan? Kobe? Reggie Miller? Who else? James, Duncan, Garnett, Nash, Nowitzki, Bryant, Iverson, Paul, Kidd, Payton, Wade, Pierce, Miller would all at least get some consideration.

    I just picked 1974-75 at random and found that there were 17 players from the top 50 in the league at the time. Looks like about 4-5 missed the cut because they retired after 1973-74.

    The NBA is currently the least talented it's ever been. There are 0(!!) players from the 50 greatest players ever list playing today. LeBron can't even crack it and he's supposed to be the king or something. What a watered down talent pool.

    I think it's adequate to gauge The level of appreciation for pippens game in his era. Oh sure. I was referring to the post above mine that seems to use that list as an argument as to why the 80's was the greatest era ever.
  8. Bobson Dugnutt
    By now, we should probably stop referencing the 50 greatest players ever list that came out in 1997.

    PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE STAY ON TOPIC

    Looks like no trade. Hopefully we can get those guys through waivers and deal them in August Jogging back to hug people?
  11. Bobson Dugnutt
    Wow, so what is Boston's rotation going to look like the rest of the year? Buchholz-Workman-Barnes-Renaudo-De La Rosa? That's kind of fun.
  12. Bobson Dugnutt
    hahahahaha Baker!
  13. Bobson Dugnutt
    Nate is brutal.
  14. Bobson Dugnutt
    They're going to burn through every single pitcher and Jaxon is going to get the nod again tomorrow night.

    Hometown-related. I'm not much for clever usernames. Ahh, that should have been obvious. Apparently EPatt was still wearing #3 when you registered anyway.

    I had NES and then Sega Genesis. Did Atari predate NES & Sega, or was that out around the same time? I feel like that was the first system I had. And this game was the [expletive]:
  17. Bobson Dugnutt
    Guilty. I love this place. Haha, is this an EPatt-related username?
  18. Bobson Dugnutt
    I'd add Hendricks, but yeah.

    I was definitely surprised he was promoted, but thinking of it this way makes a lot of sense. Likely he's in AA all of next year and AAA to start 2016? Don't see why that would be likely. For the reasons quoted above. I'll answer another way. I do not expect him to spend something like 1.25/1.3 seasons at AA. This FO, no matter what they've said publicly in the past, has been pretty clearly aggressive about moving up the actual prospects when they show some extended success. I think that depends on how quickly (if at all) he adjusts. If he has smart as has been suggested, wouldn't assume it will take 1 1/2 full seasons. Time will tell, but I don't think a mid-2015 promotion to AAA would be a completely unreasonable expectation. Yeah, I was actually thinking the AA season was closer to ending than it actually is, but there's still about 40 games left. Still enough time for Almora to get close to 200 PAs this year and then 300 or so more next year before they bump him up to AAA mid-season.

    I was trying to make a similar point but unable to come up with a sentence that makes sense. The promotion was more about getting him out of the FSL than rewarding his success. I'd expect him to spend a lot of time in AA before the next move. Yeah, that seems like their thought process.

    Yeah, Butler's no star by any means, but being able to keep him is pretty important for this year's team. Without him, they'd have a pretty gaping hole on the wings. I don't even think Butler's that great, but the difference between him being your primary wing player over Tony Snell is a pretty big one. Offensively, he's very limited, but they need someone to defend the perimeter.

    I would absolutely make that trade.

    I know he was talked about a little bit recently, but what does Candelario have to do to become an interesting prospect again? I had high hopes for him coming into the year, but overall, he has been really lousy. In July, though, he's got a slash line of .288/.347/.576 with a 13.9% K rate, 8.3% BB rate, 4 home runs and 7 doubles. Granted, that's only a 17-game stretch, but he is showing some signs of life recently. How long does he have to put up similar numbers to get sent back up to Daytona?
