    Giants had Lincecum and maybe Cain and they won it last year. Nobody really on the cusp. Who did the Padres have last year? Heath Bell, and nobody on the cusp. I don't think it's a requirement to have multiple guys in the top 100. Buster Posey could definitely be on the cusp for the Giants. And the Padres had a pretty good 1st baseman

    Maniscalco to Illinois. Good get for the Illini, should help ease the transition for Abrams hopefully. http://sports.espn.go.com/chicago/news/story?id=6221961

    Huh? Lou penciled him into the top of the lineup almost every day when he had no business being there. He was one of Lou's pets

    I forgot: Castillo threw out Figgins from his knees on the strike-him-out/throw-him-out DP. And also had 2 more hits. Hes now hitting over 600 for the spring while Koyie Hill is 1 for the spring....

    Ive looked on Craigslist and it seems there aren't many tickets on there for that Raptors game, or if they are listed on there, they are more than the guys Im going with want to pay. We have the State Bowling Tourney in Aurora that day, and the 4 guys going with me to the game aren't big NBA fans but they want to go for the experience mainly. Which in turn, means they dont really want to spend much to go. We were looking at trying to get the 300 level for $40 or so but the closer it has got to the game it seems that price isn't an option for a group of 4(Stubhub cheapest is $49 before taxes and fees per tkt for 4 together). That is kind of why I was asking about the SRO tickets. Thanks for the suggestion though.

    Any of you season ticket holders have tickets to Bulls vs Raptors on April 2 that you aren't going to use? I need 4 tickets to that game, tickets on EBAY are pretty high, stubhub isn't bad, but figured Id check here first. Also just seen I can get standing room only tickets thru the Bulls website for $31 total. How are the ushers at the UC regarding empty seats? If we see seats nobody is sitting in for a bit can we go sit in them or are the ushers pretty strict about that?

    Not saying Young would be a good pickup, but it's a little simplistic to look at Young's OPS away from Arlington and think that's how he'll produce. Holliday always had some ridiculous splits with Coors. And anecdotally, it seems like most players (not named Adrian Gonzalez) tend to do worse away from their home park. You are right, most players do usually have better home numbers than away numbers. But 859OPS at home compared to a 733OPS on the road is a very sizable difference, and has to heavily influence opinions of Young. Add in the fact hes almost 35 and there are red flags everywhere about Young. Id rather take my chances with a platoon of Baker/Dewitt or Baker/whoever then take on Young.

    No to the first one, unless the Rangers add something else to it. Yes to the second. Getting rid of Silva and Grabow would be nice. And I feel like the Rangers would be way more inclined to do the second one. Silva and Grabow in Arlington? Yikes. Young is a player that would definitely be huge in the Cubs lineup, assuming he would be able to make the transiton to 2nd. However, hes 34 years old and making 16 mil each of the next 3 years. Maybe if we sent them Kosuke, DeWitt, and one of Randy Wells/Jay Jackson/Chris Carpenter/Casey Coleman it would work as long as they thre in a bit of cash. I know theres a lot of Kosuke love, but whether NSBB likes it or not, Colvins going to be given every opportunity to win the full time RF job from him, so we may as well get something for Kosuke. Why? Hes a career 733OPS away from Arlington. His stats are heavily inflated by his home park. Dewitt is a career 713OPS and is 10 years younger. I fail to see how Young "would be huge in the Cubs lineup".
  14. Keener98
    Seriously. We grumble about Soriano's contract, but Young's is godawful as well (albeit with one fewer years remaining). Outside of Arlington he's probably about league average as a SS or 2B, and below average as a 3B. Well, that's why the Cubs are asking for money in return. His away splits for last season were pretty bad. But just one year earlier they weren't. And for his career they're not. Was last year a harbinger or an aberration? Michael Young Career Road splits: .279 .322 .411 .733OPS Blake Dewitt Career stats: .259 .335 .378 .713 OPS Young has definitely had a better career than Dewitt so far, and probably will when its all said and done. But trading anything for Young at this point, at his age, cost, and him leaving Arlington, makes little sense to me. Dewitt is 10 years younger and has a chance at getting better, while Young is on the downside of his career.
  15. Keener98
    Why do we want to trade for a guy who's numbers on the road for his career aren't much better than Blake Dewitt, makes a lot of money, and is almost 10 years older than Blake Dewitt? I dont see the point....At All

    Heh, Memphis plays Arizona 1st round. Where did current Memphis head coach come from? Former Arizona walk-on/assistant. Committee sure does love their storylines
  17. Keener98
    Yep. @CBSSports on Twitter has the game times and announcing pairs for the first round. Ok I found it somewhere else but it was kinda a mess to read so just wanted to make sure.
  18. Keener98
    So Illinois is playing on TBS?
  19. Keener98
    Heh, Self going back to Tulsa as well. Talk about coaching storylines, yea Im sure the committee really doesn't look at possible matchups. My ass
  20. Keener98
    Mich St and Izzo must've payed off someone on that committee to get that draw, my God. They got an unbelievable draw
  21. Keener98
    8 seed? Really? WTF
  22. Keener98
    Hell at this point, I think Illini, MIchigan, and Penn St in trouble
