  1. If Choo signs, will there be enough left on the market to even fantasize about a good offense?
  2. lol. I wonder if this is all a coincidence or if there's some inside technical reason everything is happening today.
  3. For $16m immediately, I'd like to think you can do better for 2014 than Carlos Beltran. Could be wrong, though.
  4. I can't deny that he technically is a bat.
  5. I'm not sure why they would. It should be a no-brainer sign for the elite postings. The player has little leverage and you can still probably get him for a fraction of his open-market value.
  6. Yow Yeah, that's totally crazybuckets. LOLRoyals
  7. Ken Rosenthal ‏@Ken_Rosenthal 3m #Astros have struck, getting CF Dexter Fowler from #Rockies for RHP Jordan Lyles and OF Brandon Barnes. ‘Stros also active on other fronts.
  8. We used to wish we had a front office as smart as the A's', and now we have it. Now we get to wish we had as much financial power as them. http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130818050429/bloodbrothersgame/images/d/d7/Its-something.jpg
  9. I am told the Cubs were in on him right to the end. Oakland gave up more than what the Cubs thought he was worth. Cubs' FO thrives on drawing hard lines on players and slapping themselves on the back for coming in second on them. I'll leave it to others to decide if that's a good or bad thing.
  10. Basically, if the Bears are healthy and in the playoffs they are dangerous. But neither of those qualifiers seems likely at the moment.
  11. MLB supposedly wants the max bid to be $20m. I assume anything low enough to get us truly involved would be low enough for the Astros or White Sox to bid max.
  12. Proving once again that I don't understand MLB roster rules, Lim was non-tendered. I would have thought that would have to be a non-renewal or something?
  13. Kaplan's going to spend the entire interview trying to work up the nerve to ask if the bunt tournament will still happen under Renteria, and if he can be in it.
  14. He's broken enough important news at this point I think we can drop the "wannabe." Dude knows how to hustle for sources.
  15. That would take them out of the Samardzija market.
  16. MLBTradeRumors predicted $1.2m for him
  17. Rosenthal says Kazmir to the A's is "close"
  18. Unless every single prospect making it to productive regular isn't a real thing. Then we might be in a bit of trouble still.
  19. Taking it literally at that level works too, but an even better way to look at it is to understand that somewhere between 47 and 40 is where the odds begin to uptick considerably with every yard.
  20. https://twitter.com/ScottLindholm/status/407506999937482753/photo/1/large Robbie Gould is 72% in his career from 40-49, and 91% from 30-39. One more first down made a huge difference.
  21. Knowing the accuracy rates on 45-50 yd kicks is a huge dip compared with just a little closer is exactly the sort of thing I expect Trestman to know. Just trusting his kicker because he's been hot lately is what I'd expect from a dumber coach.
  22. This is where it all falls apart: Even Robbie Gould isn't *that* good at 47-yard kicks, hot streak or not. Moving up another 5-10 yards makes a *huge* difference in his accuracy rates. And throw in the fact that a tie was just as good for the Bears, so you had a chance to run more time off the clock and make it harder for the Vikings to score if something did go wrong.
  23. They're hockey players. Nothing of value would be damaged. I assume he values his feet. Not as much as CC does.
  24. The great part about drafting offense is that outside of running back, the successful picks tend to last longer. Side note: In a league averaging 25 ppg, we're all furious at the defense in a 23-20 loss that went deep into OT.
