FYP That was with Texas in 2012, so I didn't include it as part of the trade. Unless he was -0.1 Opening Day, in which case I didn't see that on Baseball Reference so far. Fangraphs has him at that for this season, but right now it's an exercise in stupidity to even look at it.
I'm watching the Padres vs Dodgers for 2 innings now and the Padres crew have been wrong about what happened twice now. And not little things, things clearly happening to anyone watching: they announced that Puig's pop fly fell in for a hit despite Alonso clearly making the over the shoulder catch. This was after saying strike three called on Greinke when it was clearly called a ball. It's like they don't bother watching the whole play and just assume what's going to happen.
I thought about Braun but I couldn't stand to have that douche on my team Then it was between Olt and Abreu. I had to go with the Cubs player in that case.
Group A: Chris Davis Group B: Prince Fielder, Mike Trout Group C: Giancarlo Stanton, Anthony Rizzo, Bryce Harper Group D: Wil Myers, Albert Pujols, Yasiel Puig, Eric Hosmer, Josh Willingham WC PM
So maybe I missed this but have: Ben Wells Eric Jokisch Austin Reed Dustin Geiger Elliot Soto Matt Loosen all been released as well? That draft is still one of the most depressing things I've ever seen. Don't look at the 2005 draft...
So maybe I missed this but have: Ben Wells Eric Jokisch Austin Reed Dustin Geiger Elliot Soto Matt Loosen all been released as well? No, none of them have. Not that this makes that draft all that much better.
At the end of December the Bears signed Chris Williams, a WR who used to play for Hamilton in the CFL and actually set the record for return touchdowns in a single season (6). So I'm guessing he's going to be given a shot to be the return man.
Hawks acquire Regin and Bouchard from NY Islanders for a 2014 fourth round pick. Bouchard and Pirri set to Rockford, Regin stays with Hawks. Bouchard is clearly just depth, Regin is probably going to get used on the PK a lot.
I don't know if I'd say it isn't that important, but it's definitely after d-line. The good thing is that this draft has some really good defensive back depth, so there will be value in later rounds.
Out of curiosity I traded every draft pick (including the next two first rounders) for the Texans 1st overall and then drafted a punter. Got a score of -317. Woo.
