    I completely agree.

    wanting lower taxes and easy access to guns are forgivable redneck political ideas. Being pro-Trump makes you a piece of horsefeathers human being. unfortunately that would render a lot of baseball players i really like worthy of hatred so i'm gonna have to turn a blind eye on this one i mean weren't we pretty sure KB is a trump supporter (remembering a conversation about him following trump on twitter and people not thinking it's a hate/entertainment follow)? i'm gonna go with they're too stupid/sheltered to know how terrible he is and that's that.

    I'm not about to start hating baseball players with limited schooling from redneck areas for having redneck political ideas. I love Jake. He was the definition of a bad ass in 14-15. I hope he's awesome again and we see more God mode this year than last. (Then I hope he gets paid by somebody else because horsefeathers that)

    We want the best record in MLB, tho. Unless this is a secret plan to get more DH games, which I can get on board with.

    I've hated the reds my entire life. Not really sure why specifically, but they've always been right there with the Cardinals in terms of opposing team I hate. And when I was a kid they weren't even in the Cubs division. As a kid we seemed to mostly end up going to games against the Reds at Wrigley, to the point that I remember being surprised when I finally realized that other teams' fans didn't fill the place up like those Reds fans do. Of course, it seems like they're mostly sending in old folks as opposed to drunken goons, so I ended up just ignoring them. The Reds tended to have players I liked, so outside of their criminal notion of how chili should be made and the general existence of the Brennamans they never have bugged me too much. I feel like this feels that way for me too. I mean, the unbalanced division thing is a big part of it. I feel like every game I go to is a Reds or Pirates game.

    I never really hated any MLB teams outside of season/roster specific situations (i.e. I hated the 07-08 Brewers at the time...really hated the Marlins for a while around/after 03) until this Cardinals run of the last 5-6 years post Pujols. Something about how they kept succeeding with a bunch of boring blobs nobody ever cared to hear about was so obnoxious. I dislike those teams. Success should come with some swag. Makes how our roster is amazingly good AND fun and exciting all the more glorious.

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

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

    He's also a handsome devil Would anyone be able to access his PFF grades from his starts?

    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

    lol of course

    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).

    Wouldn't think twice about saying yes.

    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
  25. David
    also i will be very disappointed if we take watson at #3 would be happy to be wrong, obviously
