I didn't WANT a QB (as I was pretty vocal about), so I guess this isn't directed at me, but if they were going to take one in the first, Trubisky was the one I liked best. I do respect the conviction and the balls it took for Pace to do this, and if he's as good as they obviously think, none of it matters. QB is a weird position and I don't love the whole "well if your guy gets taken you can get this other guy who is publicly viewed similarly" with it. Not in the first or second round, at least. Gotta say, everything I've read about and seen with Trubisky in the last few days has me very impressed. As for the rest of the draft, who the horsefeathers knows either. I know by now not to give a horsefeathers about how pundits rate drafts in the immediate aftermath. The whole thing with the media blasting the Bears draft a day after like they have any idea if it's actually good or not is hilarious to me. It's the job of scouts and the FO to find and pick who they think are good players. At the very least, they've earned some benefit of the doubt from me with how solid last year's draft (and I'll give a little credit for Goldman in 2015). There's some intrigue with the players they took. I can't wait to see Shaheen in preseason. Jackson was a good value. Let's actually see them play first.

Fun early season stats (2017 edition)
David replied to Post Count Padder's topic in General Baseball Talk
Trout's actually been a mediocre to slightly below CF for a while now, but obviously the fact that he can be that while providing the offense he does makes him immensely valuable. For his career he's at -0.2 UZR/150 -
[tweet] [/tweet] I forgot who said it (I think it was mikey) in a game thread the other day, but looks like he might've been right about bosio's absence

i'm admittedly making assumptions about what you are terming to be "successful" here, but if you think that it's 50/50, i feel like you should be ecstatic with the pick.

You know what's less likely than convincing good players to come to Chicago and play with Jimmy? Becoming championship contenders by trading away one of the best players in the league in his prime for draft picks and being absolutely horrible for years. But everybody wants to do that like it's some magic pill. Working horsefeathering great in Minnesota and Philadelphia, tho! Hell, New Orleans drafted Anthony Davis, he has turned into a superstar, and they've tasted the playoffs once.

Forgot Gordon Hayward is a free agent too

I'd take being something like the Clippers of the last few years in the East I get the concerns about his health but I'd take the shot.

Oh and fire Hoiberg (i know not happening) I think the FO is even more of a pipe dream, but i'm fine with just blasting gar into the sun if it's true that the last few years of bizarre ass moves/non moves are a result of paxson being hands off.

-

i don't think it really matters
-
not sure if serious what I meant defensively and today specifically i know that you meant defensively that is why i think it is an insane thing to say, even on a day with a misplay or two in a weird ass park that they never play in

Lackey keeps throwing fastballs that get too much of the plate with 2 strikes. He's so annoying and frustrating to watch. it is easily my biggest issue with him it's one thing to do that with a big lead, but jesus christ
