    The more they rep the contract extension, the more I'm convinced he's going to be traded by the deadline. Personally, I like my pitchers to have more than one good season before I drop a long-term deal on them.
  2. Hairyducked Idiot
    Did he get thrown out in that video?
  3. Hairyducked Idiot
    At the end of 2012, Josh Vitters will be seen as a better prospect than Junior Lake again.
  4. Hairyducked Idiot
    Which will put him ahead of Ian Stewart.
  5. Hairyducked Idiot
    Castro has a year that's perceived as "down." He improves his defense and power, but hits something like 290/330/480.
  6. Hairyducked Idiot
    Travis Wood will be the Cubs best starting pitcher.
  7. Hairyducked Idiot
    Ian Stewart will play himself out of the league by June. The Cubs will get more home runs from their backup catcher than from him.

    Which somehow caused the testosterone in the sample to explode to 20 times the normal amount? The WADA expert who testified said that in theory, the sample could have degraded and caused a false ratio of testosterone:epitestosterone. This sample was not considered degraded by the lab, but it's possible in the vague sense. But that's part of the reason why an elevated T:E ratio doesn't cause you to fail your drug test. It just triggers your sample to be tested with the much more reliable test for synthetic testosterone. Which Braun failed, and the expert testified that sample degradation could not possibly account for. There are literally only three possibilities: 1) Braun did PEDs 2) The collector obtained pee laced with synthetic testosterone. He then fabricated an exact duplicate of Braun's sample, right down to the unqiue bar codes and signature, and sent that to be tested. 3) Multiple people at the testing agency conspired to falsify the test. Brewers fans who think Braun is innocent should slit their own wrists with Occam's Razor on this one.

    Tyler Houston autographed program.
  10. Hairyducked Idiot
    Limited visas?
  11. Hairyducked Idiot
    Braun peed in a cup. The pee in that cup had synthetic testosterone in it. Nobody has come up with a remotely plausible explanation for those two facts besides "Braun did PEDs." As soon as someone does, I'll consider the possibility that he's innocent.

    Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! /brewersfansanderik

    Keep it illegal just to annoy all the whiny people constantly complaining about it being illegal.
  14. Hairyducked Idiot
    LaHair achieved free agency in the minor leagues. There is no long-term team control.
  15. Hairyducked Idiot
    As far as I can tell, this hinged on the rule that the collector has to FedEx the sample "as soon as possible." He thought FedEx was closed, but it wasn't, so technically he didn't send it "as soon as possible." Braun's lawyers were throwing everything they possibly could at this, questioning every possible step of the process (which is their job) and they got lucky that something stuck.
  16. Hairyducked Idiot
    So the tester, instead of FedExing it immediately, took it home and refrigerated it. Huh?
  17. Hairyducked Idiot
    This is your fault.
  18. Hairyducked Idiot
    Are the Cubs still paying Epstein's buyout on top of the player?
  19. Hairyducked Idiot
    Carpenter is 26 and can't throw strikes. You can drool all you want over his upside, but the most likely scenario is that he never becomes a useful MLB pitcher for any extended length of time.
  20. Hairyducked Idiot
    Seems like a few Boston guys are tweeting that the PTBNLs are procedural and not significant.
  21. Hairyducked Idiot
    I don't think it can work that way. The PTBNL has to be either a player or a list of players submitted to the commissioner's office at the time of the deal. And this apparently was a deal.
  22. Hairyducked Idiot
    JACOBY ELSSBURY?! [/sosh] The PTBNL makes it open season for them to speculate on anyone drafted last year.
  23. Hairyducked Idiot
    And a PTBNL going both ways? CTFO, just let this die.
  24. Hairyducked Idiot
    Yeah, they can totally have Chris Carpenter and I won't particularly care.
  25. Hairyducked Idiot
    It's too late for that. Selig has the power to assign whoever he wants to the Red Sox's control.
