    The wild card could be Adrian Peterson, but yeah, I tend to agree. Seems to me that if the top 3 picks go to Detroit, Oakland and Tampa, then you've got three teams that don't really need a RB picking first. Then at 4-9 you've got Washington and Arizona, who won't be picking RBs; Cleveland, who probably would pick Peterson, and Houston, who SHOULD pick Peterson - but they're so incompetent that they might not. He seemed like a great fit for Green Bay, but with the win last week and another likely win this week against Detroit, they might have to "settle" for a guy like Marshawn Lynch. Heh, I wasn't even looking at what teams might be in the top 3...I was talking more along the lines of talent. Peterson has to do a lot between now and the draft to be a top-5 pick (show he's healthy, etc.), but he certainly belongs in a discussion with guys like Quinn, Thomas and Johnson.

    The draft is so deep in WRs that I wouldn't worry about missing out on Calvin Johnson - Jarrett, Ginn and Meachem should all be in the 8-20 range. I hope you're right, but I'm afraid Calvin won't drop below top 10 and if we keep winning, we'll be out of that area. Also, as much as I like Meachem, I doubt he goes above Calvin if Robert decides to leave early. I didn't mention Calvin because I think he's a top-5 pick. Meachem is with the guys like Ginn and Jarrett, I think. I see what you were saying in the post now. Sorry about misunderstanding it. I also doubt Ginn will drop below the top-10 so he's probably ruled out. After those two, with no disrespect for Meachem or Jarrett, I'd just as soon the Titans look at impact ends. The DEs in the draft are not high first round quality but if the Titans settle in around the teens, somebody like Abiamiri from ND or the kid from Purdue (maybe CubColtPacer or some other Big Ten fan can refresh my memory, I think his last name's Spencer) would look real good. Not that I wouldn't be happy with a WR, I just think Ginn and Calvin are a level above Meachem and Jarrett. A DE? How about Gaines Adams (Clemson) or Quentin Moses (Georgia)? The Boilermaker you're talking about is Anthony Spencer.

    Nah, RR isn't on par with a lot of the other PCL parks - it's more pitcher friendly. I'm not that big a Buchholz fan but he's certainly more valuable than Mateo. Still think this was an awful trade for the Astros.

    Didn't Minnesota non-tender David Ortiz after the 2002 season? Think there might be at least a couple of bitter Twins fans? :D Their comeuppance for getting Johan in the Rule 5 and Liriano and Nathan for AJP?
  6. CaliforniaRaisin
    That's going to lead to some awful nice field position.

    I probably shouldn't care, but it's getting disgusting how repetitively inaccurate these buffoons have been on this issue. It's painfully obvious how wrong they are. It's not like he was putting up 10/22, 150 yards and no TDs in the non-bad games. He actually lit up some teams and produced in the others. It's become a runaway train. It's typical "say it enough times and it's got to be true" stuff that is driving me nuts. No, I understand. I also know these talking heads are pretty stupid/don't care about the Bears, etc. so it helps me not get caught up. The Chicago media upsets me more.

    I really don't care at this point, Rex saved his job and he's showing he can play under tough circumstances.

    A video of Oneri Fleita on MiLB.com radio talking about the Rule 5 draft (how the whole Josh Hamilton thing came about, losing Campusano, Holdzkom, Smith, Lewis and Shipman, Justin Jones getting drafted, the Freddie Bynum trade). He mentioned that Richard Lewis was about to be promoted when he got hurt in 2004. If the link doesn't work, the video is on the top left corner of the MiLB.com site.

    I think that play showed Bradley just hasn't had much time playing on the field the past few years. That's not a mistake he'd make with a tad more experience.

    He did ok in the Mexican Pacific League. 45.1 IP, 40 K/19 BB, 3.28 ERA, 1.37 WHIP, .250 BAA

    He's got a finger up on the competition. http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b174/kanumber08/DSC00621.jpg Wow, I've never actually seen the 6th finger. Wow.

    Yay Rexy!!

    Plz go easy on us. Thx.

    From everything I've read and the Iowa broadcasts I've listened to, it sounds like he was a quality guy in the minors too - both in and out of the clubhouse.
  16. CaliforniaRaisin
    Hey we are Chicago fans, we can get excited over any win Especially over a nearby rival. :)

    Haha, Jack Del Rio - a former USC Trojan - had to wear UCLA attire today because he lost a bet with MoJoDrew in regards to the USC-UCLA game last weekend. :) Maurice is definitely a quality individuals. Great guy.
