Trying to figure out who is who on this list. Kyle Long Whitehair Sitton? Leno Massie? that's basically how i had it, though referring to kyle long as young (or even elite anymore) seems kind of hollow. Okay, he's aging. And Sitton is already aged. As far as the elite tag. Well yea, it's been negated because of health, which is why I mentioned it.

if you are great elsewhere, sure, competence at LT is fine. But you still need to be great elsewhere, and that remains questionable for the Bears, even with the solid interior line that is still banged up. 1 young elite OL locked up (and banged up) 1 young very good OL on rookie deal 1 very good aging OL 1 above average young OL locked up 1 average young OL on short deal with little guaranteed While it shouldn't inspire any complacency for the unit, I'll take it.

Why would they need leverage, they had a 25 year old 4x All Star.
-
I'm certain there's been more bananas trades, but this is definitely the biggest in a long while. Timing is probably the most unique aspect of a deal this big though.
-
Tarik Cohen is fun.
-
I read somewhere that he has some sort of mechanical issue that's causing him to suck. Maybe the Bears think they have a way to fix it? That's a pretty fall far for Aguayo. (No. 59 pick a year ago) I certainly am happy to see some Barth competition, though they are picking up quite a bit of contract commitment for a camp competition.

I actually think the black jerseys (not the shirts that they've switched to the last couple of years) were the best in the league. And if they ever brought back the black jerseys with the red pinstripes, the rest of the league can forget about it. nah. the pinstripe ones are cool and are a nice change of pace, but the reds win easily. Basically you can't go wrong between red, whites, or black pinstripes. They should just rotate those three between home games, with the red Chicago script as an occasional alternate.
-
they don't think he's worth what he's owed in the final year of his contract. They've questioned his commitment coming back from injury and basically are just looking for an opportunity to cut him. Able players are cut all the time if they either don't fit a system or rub coaches the wrong way. yeah, that's basically what i was asking...if it's a performance thing or just a guy the coaches don't like It's a combo of things. Talent and fit, certainly. From a cap standpoint, when would come time to keep Fuller next spring, he'll be an UFA. His competition are guys like Callahan and LeBlanc who will likely qualify as RFA (2018, 2019 respectively). Based on the output and current development track of the competing young guys, they are disincentives from putting that development into a first rounder entering his final year (all else being equal). So there is some control consideration.

Is a delay of game penalty hypocritical when you spend 5 minutes discussing it?
-
OTOH his face looks even more like a Madden create a player on tv than in pictures.
-
If he sucks after like 2-3 games Mitch should just start. Sanchez 4 tank commander
-
Shoulda kept Cutler :lol:
-
I maintain it's a nothing issue. Fans aren't tuning out because of long 12 inning games, but because of long 9 inning games. The extra inning thing seems to be more of a management issue in an era where pitches are tracked more closely and teams worry about managing their staffs with extra innings, especially long marathon 12+ games. So offer some type of roster flexibility to address that concern and focus the pace efforts on the other 9 innings.
-
Eww. I maintain this is mostly a roster-rule issue which can be changed with little to no effect to the game rules.
-
It doesn't sound like it will be standard, in fact someone on Realgm said every team to announce so far has kept white for home, but it doesn't sound standardized at all, so teams can even switch throughout the season. Will be interesting to see the alternates. Also will the Bulls be getting a corporate sponsor on their jerseys?
-
What am I missing?
-
That sums up things nicely Waiting for David to continue his lie that they "won't be that bad guys" They can go 12-4 and 99% of that article would be true still.
-
Draft picks. Lots of them Sure. If LeBron wasn't there anymore. Is there a realistic package from anyone the Cavs will actually trade him for? I'm skeptical.
-
+20 margin doe
-
Yea, that's why he's offering to go home.
-
It's just really dumb. Of course we're gonna talk about a contract in a big trade. Its good to be excited about the player Quintana, and simultaneously okay to reference the contract in discussing why the trade is good and why it was okay to trade our top two prospects. He's a dumb hack writer trying to make it seem like the latter invalidates the former. While he criminially underrates Quintana, evwn if it was true, a reliable #3 would go a long way to righting the track this year.

Cubs trade Eloy, Cease, others for Quintana

The weird and hilarious thing about it is that they're in first place and rationalizing how 2021 is the year. Like I'm sure to keep sane, many posters here circa 2011 many were plotting the Cardinals demise, but we were in last place. It was our only hope. -

If you want to read about terrible logic from a Sox fan view, read some of the people upset at Rick Hahn. I don't know how if you were a Sox fan you could hate this deal either. http://www.whitesoxinteractive.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=146828 I can understand if they don't like it, but what I find best are Sox fans that are only upset because it was a trade with the Cubs. -

-Quintana is a #3 on a good team -re: then Lester is a #3 and won the WS as the best pitcher on the team -were not getting prime Lester! Uh okay? Though it can be noted 2016 WS Lester was within 1 WAR of prime Lester, and Quintana is very close to that Lester too, even this year, a down year, no worse than a down year for Prime Lester. As far as a hypothetical Lester trade; Age-Salary 34-22.5m 35-22.5m 36-15m 37-25m 29-8.85 30-10.5 31-11.5 No, I don't think he's fetch as much. -
