and yet, everyone seems to think jim leyland was a brilliant manager...

Let us all take a minute to rejoice that the white sox have lost SEVENTEEN straight games.

eloy jimenez, yoan moncada, and luis robert are all very talented, lazy bums. as soon as abreu left the team they all quit trying. they dont run hard. they dont play regularly. they dont care. take them on at your own risk.

tigers got A- grades from the athletic for the trade. how dare we get an A- grade. fire his overrated ass.

high al avila pick sucks? no way. i'm stunned.

exactly

othet than getting screwed by flaky Erod, harris hasnt done anything objectionable yet.

cominsky wasnt very good last year. this means they might keep both the canadian kid and houston.

we didnt get jackson holliday for jack flaherty. oh no. you guys are ridiculous. that's a decent return for an oft-injured rental starter.

george is a former first rounder (supplemental) who has speed for days. no power but a good hit tool. cartaya is a former top international prospect who struggled at the plate last year. tons of power and a good arm. sounds like a latin american jake rogers.

interesting rehab project for the orioles. his time in chicago was done. too injured too often. too much of a clown. lazy.

i miss carmen harlan.

how dare we trade a 30 year old back up catcher for less than two top ten prospects? our gm is teh stupidest.

wherefore art thou steve coyler...

iowa too high. washington too low. show more is about right... penn state as a dark horse pick. they have one tough game on their whole schedule and its at home.

i dont get the slobbering over holland. is he as ground bound as stanley? no. but he's not NEARLY as athletic as ivey. again, to me he really looks like a taller, bigger kcp without the jumper. he's nba athletic but stiff. he's not fluid at all. he has shown the ability to finish in traffic but i dont know if that will translate on nba defenders. he really looks like he plays below the rim. cade is a little like that too, but cade has a fluidity to his game, a control. holland is all out to the rim and doesnt see what else is around him. maybe that comes with time. but its not there now. looks like he ceiling is nba role player. that's nothing to sneeze at but less than what you want from #5 overall. they've taken three very flawed players at #5 the last 3 years. of all of ivey, thompson, and holland, i think ivey has the best chance to break out because of the great offensive athletic ability. ausar will be defense only forever. holland looks like a jack of all trades master of none to me.

for ****s sake. this guy...

some piston twitter folks are all ga-ga about what he did yesterday. i dont get it. but those are the same guys who were saying killian was an integral part of the team last year. i didnt see explosiveness, i saw a guy who could barely get over the rim on dunks. he did finish in traffic a couple times that was ok. he looks strong-ish, especially for his age. unfortunately, i am also getting stanley vibes physically. i havent heard any mindless braggadoccio yet like stanley used to do. physically he looks like a bigger kcp only he cant shoot.

i dont understand, what does ron holland do well? is he that good of an athlete? doesnt seem like it. can he defend his butt off like ausar? doesnt seem like it. can he shoot? no. not at all. can he dribble and get his own shot? didnt seem like it. he seems quite ordinary in every way. i get that summer league is a joke and a glorified pick up game, but for a guy who was touted as an athletic freak you would assume he would show out in such and environment. instead he looks boring, ground bound, and ordinary. i was not impressed at all. bobi looked like a more viable nba player simply because he is tall and can shoot.

that's WAAAAAAAAAY too much money for veleno. he's replaceable for anyone with a modicum of physicalness and a low amount of skill. congrats for making veleno an actual nhl player, which he is now ans wasnt two years ago. but if you got rid of klim kostin because you didnt want to pay a 4th line winger $2m, then why are you paying a 4th line center OVER $2 million? makes no sense unless you are really valuing continuity and locker room things we dont know about. veleno is the most replaveable forward on the roster.

if youre in year 5 of a rebuild and you only have ONE player who could bring you back significant assets you have failed tremendously. but we all know this was a tremendous failure. even if they win 35 games this year the rebuild is a tremendous failure.

i expect cade to take a significant step forward this year.

espn power rankings had us above the nets and wizards.
