    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

    Cue the Onion article about the Yankees signing every player in baseball. 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

    Moody quarterback. Well he at least has a point about the o-line. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Will Wood have a final option year next year? I'm fine with him as the 5th starter, but if you can find enough room for 6 starters I think you can even keep him in Iowa. Injuries will happen so he'd still get plenty of big league innings over the course of a season. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    It's a decent offer. Have you had any back and forth with the other owner? I'd start with a lower offer, but if it came to it, I'd pull the trigger on that. I think there's a pretty good chance Johnson rakes from here on out. He's still getting a lot of targets, the TDs just haven't come.

    They traded for a dead guy a couple years ago. It's a good example, but I don't think it was quite at the deadline. IIRC it was during week 5...the Bears were 3-1 and on a bye week before playing in Atlanta. But close enough. Deadline was earlier then though. Used to be week 6. But trades are so rare in football trying to distinguish between deadline deal and regular trade is pointless. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Interesting, but not happening. If a defensive player ever does get it, it wil be a DE. DPOY on the other hand isn't totally out of line, but still an uphill climb. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    He was Jim Hendry's right hand man and there has never been any indication as to what he does well. So therefore, he must be bad at his job. The only grounds you use to assert this is that he worked under someone you didn't like. Great logic you have there. That's a pretty stupid statement. I questioned what he does well. I've never heard anything good about him. Nobody has ever made any sort of statement about what value he brings to the organization. I don't see it, and I'd like to know what it is. I don't just assume that middle management types in sports are great at what they do. I'm not sure why anybody would. You apparently assume they're bad at what they do. Far more reasonable. The close association and approval of Jim Hendry means it's not a baseless assumption. Maybe Bush is great but all I know about him is Hendry seemed to value him, which gives me some concerns. Concerns that are alleviated quite a bit by Theo keeping him. Maybe he embraced the new way of thinking and picked it up quickly. But anyways I guess O'Neill is the move talked about?

    Hoping for a Bears win and no more than 8 fantasy points for Marshall. Spread the football around tonight Cutler! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I'm not a big Lloyd fan either but somehow the guy had nearly 2,500 receining yards and around 15 TD's in the last two seasons. It was hard for me to get past him being a WR who couldn't even get PT on the Bears, but theres something McDaniels has gotten out of him. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I think you got it right with the better player on the better offense. BUT, Lloyd plays the afternoon game. I would watch his situation closely and be prepared to start Wright if you have doubt.... The late game is a good point. Luckily i have Burleson to use on Monday if Lloyds status is unclear at noon. I think he will play, but also concerned about performance dropping off. Now also Bradshaw is questionable, so I'm just going to have to watch all the morning shows to make a handful of decisions at noon. I hate weeks like this. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I can't even think of a time I saw an onsides saftey punt. That would have to be a pretty difficult kick to pull off. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
