  1. Also Reds fans generally horsefeathering hate us, I'm pretty sure.

  4. I mean I guess he could've just called himself evanstonian for fun (the actual guy suing isn't from the area, however)

  6. He's also a handsome devil Would anyone be able to access his PFF grades from his starts?
  7. Without knowing what they would actually have to give up for him, I'm not going to pretend I have an extreme opinion on this. Obviously, if it's a ton, it's not so attractive given his contract status. His numbers in his limited action most certainly do not suck, and I'm not gonna pretend I've seen enough of him to have any opinion beyond that. I trust Pace's talent evaluation pretty well, though. I did see somewhere that Kyle Shanahan wanted him or Derek Carr in Cleveland when they took Manziel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ixrLtgGKS-8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dUI6YmBkj1w
  8. lol of course
  9. He's a very good prospect, but you're basically hoping and praying he becomes Placido Polanco. That's no insult, Polanco was very good for a number of years, but that's not the hopes and dreams of someone in the Top 5 of all of baseball. He's high risk of being a second baseman, he had a .775 OPS at High A, and his K rate is high for someone who isn't going to slug like someone like Russell. You don't even really need something to collapse for Torres to be a non-descript major leaguer, just the attrition of his production at the 2 levels he needs to ascend through would do it. When you call someone a top-5 prospect, you're not implying they could or will one day be a top-5 player in the league. I think Law is going off a little recency bias, because Torres tore up the AFL right after a pretty disappointing 30 games for the yankees A+ team. Also I do think there's a little bit of "I can generate happy responses from yankees fans and pissed off responses from cubs fans." I don't think his wording really implies that. Just the hopes and dreams of a top 5 prospect (in all of baseball).
  10. Wouldn't think twice about saying yes.
  11. [tweet] [/tweet]
  12. i'm saying i would be happy to be wrong about my disappointment.
  13. http://www.cubsinsider.com/watch-exclusive-video-jason-heyward-working-swing-sloan-park/
  14. What What are you asking?
  15. [tweet] [/tweet] wait holy crap what?
  16. I wanted him at coach, but I'd love him as OC. But didn't he get demoted in favor of Earl Bennett? He'd be a great addition to work with QB's. I still think Loggains did a pretty good job with what he had. i was so so so confused by this post then i realized edgar bennett is a coach for gb
  17. also i will be very disappointed if we take watson at #3 would be happy to be wrong, obviously
  18. if he actually fell to the 2nd i'd be all for that pick, obviously the nfl draft is freaking crazy.
  19. Just wondering what everyone's relocation appointment is looking like (not expecting to have many, if any, options) Mine's Feb 9th around 11 AM
  20. it's all garbage this team is mediocre because of the lack of talent after butler and wade, not because of a lack of leadership. maybe they aren't good "leaders" but who gives a horsefeathers is my point
  21. that seems pretty damn great for as far away as he is. i imagine he'll be top 5 if he goes out and has another good season.
  22. Being good and leading are two separate things. I know Rondo is doing this to get exiled, but he IS correct. so now dwyane wade isn't a good "leader" who is? is lebron? is rondo? lol
  23. Calls out the guys who scored like 75 points last night lol
  24. i've never seen a player with such bizarre shot selection
