Seattle just picked a guy that averaged 4 ppg and 4 rpg last year. No offense to Rudy Gay, but this guy is the bust of the draft.
-
Patrick O'Bryant goes to Golden State. His career is officially over.
-
So how far does JJ Redick fall?
-
Por que? To simplify, tools over actual skills/production, and overhype based on a couple games. Not agreeing or disagreeing with you but there is always a player or two that sends his draft stock through the roof with his play in the NCAA tournament. How did that formula work out for Wade? :lol: Bingo. Remember Szczerbiak a few years ago? He did the same thing. I'm not saying these players will work out, but there is ALWAYS a player or two that does this.

Celtics draft Foye for Portland. No surprise there after Portland trades Telfair for this pick.
-
Rudy Gay is going to be a bigtime disappointment for his first couple years, won't get much playing time, and will suck when he plays. He'll get traded a couple times before becoming a decent player in the league. Book it.
-
Well if comedy is the step after acceptance, then I at comedy as well.
-
Brandon Roy goes to Minnesota. I like this pick and think Roy will be a VERY good player in the NBA.
-
At least the Hawks have their Lottery pick. They may not make the right choice, but at least there is a possiblity they make the right choice. The Knicks don't even have the chance to make a bad pick.
-
They do only have 5 minutes in between picks unlike the NFL where they have 15 minutes. Makes it a little harder to get everybody in that wants to talk. So why not do it at 2 minutes 30 seconds, instead of 45 seconds? That leaves plenty of time. They have to discuss the previous pick and allow Stephen A. and Greg Anthony to talk. Stuart Scott has to interview the previous pick.

I'm getting really tired of Ozzie, really fast.
-
Morrison goes to Charlotte. No surprise there.
-
Get more than they would by just taking their guy at 2 when they can have him at 4. If they are trading for Thomas though they'll regret it. Not high on Tyrus Thomas TT?
-
Sounds like the Bulls are going to trade the #2 to Portland for the #4 pick. Portland will get Aldredge and the Bulls will likely get Tyrus Thomas.
-
I bet Stu asks him about Dirk during this interview. God I hate comparisons. Every shooting guard is compared to MJ. Bargnani is being compared to Dirk. They even compared Randy Foye to Dwayne Wade.
-
Hmm... A guy with a 6.08 ERA this year. That sounds like a 6-1 loss to me.
-
Here are the Quarterfinal games and schedule: Friday June 30 Germay v Argentina at 8 AM PT on ESPN Italy v Ukraine at 12 PM PT on ESPN 2 Saturday July 1 England v Portugal at 8 AM PT on ABC Brazil v France at 12 PM PT on ESPN The winners of the matches on each day will play each other. So the semifinals will be: Germany/Argentina v Italy/Ukraine England/Portugal v Brazil/France
-
Good. It's about time they did something. They should give a red card to the ref that did the US-Italy game as well.

Juan Pierre extension watch
soccer10k replied to Lefty's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
Pierre homered today so Hendry's probably typing up an extention now. -
Lee or Dunn?
soccer10k replied to Backtobanks's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
It's Carlos Lee not DLee. -
Lee or Dunn?
soccer10k replied to Backtobanks's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
I'm not measuring his worth with games played numbers. I'm refuting the claim that he averages 30/105, which is just not true. Fair enough. And I agree with you in the 30/105 point you made. -
Lee or Dunn?
soccer10k replied to Backtobanks's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
That's the problem, he doesn't average 30/105 per season. He averages that per 162 games played, but he's only played 162 once. He's only surpassed the 100 RBI mark twice. Anybody could drive in 100 RBI in the middle of even a mediocre lineup. That's no accomplishment. Carlos is a good hitter. But he's far from great. And he has some serious drawbacks to his offensive game, more than Dunn. That's not exactly a good way to measure a players worth. He's played 150+ games in 5 of 7 seasons. I would take Dunn though. Lee hasn't put up a .900+ OPS in a season yet and he's 30 (although he is on pace for his first this year). Dunn put up a .900+ OPS the last two years, is on pace for another this year and put one up in 244 AB's in 2001 and he's only 26. -
You shouldn't want one or the other. You should want the more productive hitter, which is Abreu. Don't fill roster spots with stereotypes. That's how you end up with guys like Pierre. This team would be very well off with Abreu hitting 4th, or 3rd, or 5th, or 2nd, or 6th. You want your #4 hitter to be a power guy. What else do you put there? I'm not stereotyping the roster. All I said is that I didn't think Abreu should hit fourth. I realize he has a great OBP so bat him leadoff or second. But I want a guy that is going to hit the ball and hit it hard batting fourth. Batting fourth CLee > Abreu.
