Navy and red? Awful. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

There's still time. Quite a few pitchers left on the market who will cost some, and there's been definite talks of the Cubs still wanting to add to the rotation and bullpen. There's also the two recent Cuban defectors who both won't go against the IFA budget. Then theres always possible trades that could open up other roster spots that we'd need to spend money to cover. Still time. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Whoa. I didn't realize he looked like David Kaplan's evil twin. http://media.trb.com/media/photo/2009-06/24005823831180-01140703.gifhttp://www.dailyherald.com/apps/pbcsi.dll/bilde?Site=DA&Date=20121205&Category=SPORTS&ArtNo=712059713&Ref=AR&maxw=207&maxh=248 Other way around.

We should still count on him starting in AAA. If he has really fixed his swing having 4 good OF is a good thing. Soriano and DeJesus aren't long term pieces anyways, so moves can be made. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Excited that we look to have made our decision on actual talent rather than superficial qualities like "played for Cubs". The early candidates were pretty terrible. Thanks Len. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Florida probably has the best resume of any sec team, Bama included But Georgia and Bama are ranked ahead of them at the moment. I guess I'm just basing my perception strictly on the rankings. But it seems the better teams are punished. If both trams play Bama and both lose are they still 3-4? Is it possible GA makes it competitive enough even in a loss that they edge FL since FL didn't do anything to jump that spot other than not being good enough to make the championship? Now subjectively you can probably argue for Florida, but objectively they will benefit by not being good enough to make their championship game, while of the two teams good enough to make it, one will be punished. Also Oregon gets this same benefit now that I think of it. Just wait out whichever SEC team gets bumped. Can't lose position and even if they were in the title game, winning probably doesn't do much. Just odd that a bunch of games involving likely playoff opponents would bump teams from the field while teams at home make it in. The SEC title game is like a play-in to get into the actual (hypothetical) playoffs except instead of the two lesser teams fightly for the chance to play the better team its flipped. I'm gonna expand the NBA playoffs to 9 teams and the 2 and 3 seed will play eachother to see who gets to play the 8 seed in round 1. Just hope that when we get the playoffs the committee thinks like this under a similiar scenario. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Kind of weird Florida gets in over Georgia. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

At that price I wouldn't have minded the Cubs get involved. But I'll withold judgement until I see the conplete offseason. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ugh, I guess Floyd. Does Jackson even get touches anymore? Also, I was leaning RG3 over Ryan. Believe it or not, I haven't started RG3 over Ryan once this year. Last week, RG3 outscored him like 32 to 3. RG3 has a 6 point edge this season overall. Why Ryan? Fred Jackson does get touches he was just hurt. I know because I have Spiller and am upset he basically splits his carries. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

How can a Mizzou guy think that the Big 12 will survive a megaconference scenario? Just playing around with scenarios, its definitely hard to see a true mega-conference scenario (four 16 school conferences) with the Big 12 still in existence. They'd have to add six major programs to get to 16- maybe with a pseudo ACC merger. So I guess if the Big Ten and SEC each raid an ACC school, it could happen. Although if the Pac gets involved in expansion its almost sure to poach at least two of Texas/TT/Ok/OkSt from the Big 12. So that's where a mega-conference scenario with the Big 12 in existence really starts to fall apart.

These young available players cost more than money. Not that you cant go after those guys, but at most likely its just reallocating existing resources. Filling 2-3 rotation spots and getting just average performance from CF and bullpen gets us with an outside chance. Ultimately it depends on development of younger guys. Which is essentially the plan many are advocating for in 2020 or whatever it is. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I really don't think 2015 is the year we actually start trying. I think that thats more of a "this is when our pipeline is going to be in full gear and we go after that superstar FAs to supplement". So I think they'll put together a semblance of an effort in 13 and 14. Guys like McCarthy speak to that plan. With 5 playoff openings, we can have acreslistic shot without going crazy in FA. Does Wood have a final option year? I'd be fine with him in Iowa as the 6th starter because he'll still get time with injuries. Go fill 3 rotation spots. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If you started Doug Martin and still lose you're fantasy license needs to be revoked. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Tillman was always good at punching the ball, buts its become comical this season. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The Bears also play less cover two than they used to anyways. He's not relied on to cover huge portions of the seam as much anymore. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Or the health thing. But yea, I'd prefer to imagine the Theo is a boss scenario.

Interesting. Maybe Theo wanted them to throw in cash and when they didn't he called the bluff thinking he can sign him and keep Marmol? That kind of defeats the purpose of getting rid of Marmol's contract. The cost difference between Marmol and Haren would have been what 4-6M? Getting rid of Marmol's contract wasn't value in itself, because he can still be a somewhat worthwhile bullpen asset. The value was just freed capital to do other things with the money. If you can pay less for Haren then, it kind of evens out.

Interesting. Maybe Theo wanted them to throw in cash and when they didn't he called the bluff thinking he can sign him and keep Marmol? What can Harden demand on the open market. 2/16? 3/27? If Harden can get that at this point, Haren should be in the 5/90 range. Oops. On my second Gin.

I wonder if money will change hands. I tentatively like this though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Signing your former players with little to no managing experience is so in. Bonus points if he was a catcher. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
