    Hooray. We are winning.
  2. Hairyducked Idiot
    There seems to be a nice base here to build off of for 2015 once we fix the holes, but every time I think that, new holes spring up. I wonder what will fall apart next year.
  3. Hairyducked Idiot
    There's a day 3? This thing got pretty pointless about 250 picks ago
  4. Hairyducked Idiot
    On the other hand, it would make more sense to judge a draft based on what they were capable of doing. Eh, it's just stupid semantics. If you draft 30th and get the 15th talent, you had a "great" draft, but 14 teams did better than you, so is it really all that great? They did a great job having an OK draft.
  5. Hairyducked Idiot
    Cease's twitter history is fantastic.
  6. Hairyducked Idiot
    you can only have a great draft once every 27 years, got it Well, once ever. That moment has passed. Unless another guy named Bryce Harper ever becomes draft eligible.
  7. Hairyducked Idiot
    It's huge, but it's also worth noting that the league-average FIP down there is like 3.3 or something.
  8. Hairyducked Idiot
    Meh. I'd rather have one guy in the top 3 than every single guy from 150-199. I can't call it a great draft. A great draft is when you have 1.1 and Bryce Harper is sitting there. They made the best of a frustrating spot with No. 4 in a three-player draft.
  9. Hairyducked Idiot
    Six games out of a playoff spot
  10. Hairyducked Idiot
    Ah, the old Vogelbach fallacy. Except Vogelbach's bat isn't that good.
  11. Hairyducked Idiot
    Atlanta made it last year. Shut up
  12. Hairyducked Idiot
    Do you know what that would have done to our farm-system rankings?
  13. Hairyducked Idiot
    That'd be five different teams than made the playoffs in the NL last year. So 2/3rds of the league in the playoffs in a two-year span.
  14. Hairyducked Idiot
    The what?
  15. Hairyducked Idiot
    But the big bat was getting full slot. Maybe Schwarber is too? (not really)
  16. Hairyducked Idiot
    Besides Kris Bryant, which player that was drafted are you most impressed with in the Theo/Jed era? Pierce Johnson
  17. Hairyducked Idiot
    Cubs:underslot savings::Andy Dwyer:Lions
  18. Hairyducked Idiot
    Huh. At first glance, I like him way better than Zas.
  19. Hairyducked Idiot
    College pitcher? Meh

    Also the White Sox are a bit over .500. Please tell me the Yankees, Dodgers and Red Sox are all battling for last place. Red Sox had a 10-game losing streak, but they aren't in last because now Tampa Bay is on a 10-game loser of their own. Yankees and Dodgers are both a game over .500.
  21. Hairyducked Idiot
    There aren't any advantages any more. I mean, yeah, you can still way overpay for guys when they become FA, but it's hard to get good players when you can't pick high and you can't overpay for amateurs. Pfft, yeah, you can still get major leaguers, but who wants them? If you can't pay Shawon Dunston Jr. $1m, then there's not really any advantage at all...
  22. Hairyducked Idiot
    Also the White Sox are a bit over .500.
  23. Hairyducked Idiot
    The competitive balance picks aren't that bad. As long as you aren't a fan of some dumb team that is throwing away all the advantages that come with being a big market team that make up for them.
  24. Hairyducked Idiot
    Tied for it. They'd have to play a division tiebreaker game with the Braves, winner gets the Brewers in the NLDS.
  25. Hairyducked Idiot
    It won't happen, but it'd be hilarious if we took another position player at 45
