  1. Wow, maybe Sharma was actually onto something when he shared that inside info on July 8 that Almora may have turned a corner.
  2. Haha, wow, .973 OPS against lefties.
  3. What this thread presupposes is...maybe it isn't.
  4. Stolen from Twitter: So Kirk is the only backup PG? That seems risky.
  5. "@RealGM 1m MT @nikolamirotic12: Very happy and excited to announce that next season I will be playing with the @chicagobulls . Today I fulfill a dream"
  6. I think Melo/Rose/Noah would give LeBron/Love/Kyrie more of a fight than the 2011 Bulls gave the Heat, but in the end I definitely think the Cavs would be the better team. But I really don't see Melo coming to Chicago, in which case I see the Bulls and Pacers fighting for the second best record in the Central Division.
  7. Nah, I just don't wanna get into it. It's the same reason Kyle got scared off MR and didn't finish his argument. You can write 2 page long winded arguments, but you're not going to change another fan base's opinion. Especially a fan as dumb as you seem to me. It's pointless. I'll leave on this note though. You guys seem to like Hammel here, so even if you think Niese is as good. I am pretty sure you would want Hammel if he was 27 years old, a lefty, and was under team control for the next 5 years for extremely cheap (8 mil a year...compared to guys like Arroyo and Nolasco who are making 10-13 mil). Sounds pretty appealing to me. Scared off? I figured Kyle just realized that board is a waste of time when that one [expletive] started resorting to homophobic insults?
  8. How so? Niese is two years younger and their numbers are not that far off. 2014: Shark: 2.3 bWAR, 3.02 FIP, 141 ERA+ Niese: 1.7 bWAR, 3.62 FIP, 118 ERA+ Right, everyone knows Samardzija is having a career year. I can use the same logic to say Niese is better than Strasburg 2014: Niese: 1.7 bWAR, 3.62 FIP, 118 ERA+ Strasburg: 0.7 bWAR, 3.28 FRO, 107 ERA+ Samardzija is 2 years older and just had the best three months of his career. You can't just look at 2014. OK. This is Shark's third season as a starter. In those three seasons, he has had a better fWAR than Niese's career high three times.
  9. Pineyro might be damaged goods and Black and Johnson can't stop walking people. No, we're still pretty thin on pitching. But who cares because hitters4eva.
  10. i'm pretty sure brian cashman comprehends that If he thinks that he can top a package featuring a top 10 prospect and another who could be top 100 with his farm system, apparently not. He never said he could. In fact, he said the complete opposite: "I don't think [the Cubs] could've done a better deal than what they did in terms of that haul."
  11. Great, one less name that Javy has to remember.
  12. Woj is about as reliable a reporter as there is with regards to access to information and breaking news. Off the top of my head, I can't think of any sports writer that is better at that type of reporting than him.
  13. If I'm Aiken I take it. Sure it's not 6.5M, but that isn't a huge discount for a guy whose future looks to be bound for Tommy John. Yeah, he definitely should take it but my UCLA fandom is pretty selfish so I'm rooting for him to get to campus (and somehow screw up the amount of remaining funds available for Jacob Nix so Nix also ends up at UCLA despite agreeing to financial terms already). I'd rather not give Houston another top 2 pick next year. Why? They keep [expletive] them up anyway.
  14. “@RobertMurrayMLB: Don't be shocked to see the #Yankees try to add another pitcher. One name they've checked in on: #Cubs RHP Edwin Jackson.”
  15. But people are saying that Soler fell because of injuries therefore Buxton has to fall because of injuries. It's a huge leap. yeah, but wrist injuries seem way more worrisome than the injuries soler has had (not that they are to be taken lightly either) But Soler's injuries have proven to be a repetitive issue and because of that, three years into his pro career he hasn't amassed a season's worth of PA. Buxton's injury has not prevented him from already having proven himself over more than 700 PA by age 20. Unless you are assuming his injury has significantly altered his future and offset what he has done, there is no real reason to knock him down, regardless of how they view Soler's situation. It is completely different. But 680 of these PAs occurred before he injured his wrist.
  16. it was actually on 5/30: https://twitter.com/professorparks/status/472389284574810113
  17. Speaking of Tennessee, what's the story on Pineyro? I can't remember what his injury was.
  18. If Soler isn't up for at least 2.5 more years, something has gone very wrong.
