  1. im not completely sold either, but i think his athletic profile is such that it gives him the highest ceiling.
  2. why would the league retire kobe's number? i get that his death was a tragedy (much moreso because of his daughter), but a league wide number retirement? seems excessive. they should name an award for him. maybe the most selfish player in the league that season? jk. maybe set up a scholarship or a program in his name for something to do with youth girls bball? he seemed to be into that and his role as a "girl dad" before he died. reinventing himself after his...unfortunate...escapades in denver.
  3. i think manning and greene will be good! everyone else sucks! /shakesfistatcloud
  4. i'm definitely not writing him off, im just worried. im a worrier.
  5. i think riley is going to be really good! there's some optimism.
  6. im not worried because he was sent down, that was almost to be expected. im worried that he's sucked since he was sent down and is striking out a lot. at aaa. he should be dominating triple a. yeah yeah small sample size, but i'll be less worried when he starts hitting again. any day now would be a nice start...
  7. i've never thought faedo was any good. but i didnt figure skubal would be this good, so what do i know? i have serious doubts about mize but i'm still on the manning bandwagon. i think manning bas the best shot at being a star. who knows about jobe? not i. but again, i have my doubts considering he was an avila pick. unlike mtu, i am worried about tork.
  8. are we starting to get worried about tork yet?
  9. i think we can forget Faedo. the odds he ever amounts to anything but depth filler are pretty steep.
  10. kris bryant 304/371/480 javy baez 218/279/372 i guess i'll take a hurt kris bryant. but seriously, i wouldnt take either one for their contracts. ah, the perils of free agency.
  11. there has been no evidence to suggest illitch knows what he's doing.
  12. hard to believe javy baez finished second in the mvp voting just a few years ago.
  13. miggy with an opposite field single is a beautiful thing.
  14. hanging 80 mph slider and baez swings right through it.
  15. it doesnt help that al avila doesnt know how to swim.
  16. reminds me of when "football genius" dave wanstedt said he had sources who told him kansas and iowa state were joining the big ten shortly. this was right after oklahoma and texas joined the sec. but i dont need to tell you how stupid dave wannstedt is or that he's on chicago radio (along with all the other local geniuses).
  17. duke brings nothing to the conference. duke is beholden to whatever unc deigns to give them. in fact, duke is more likely to join the "basketball only" big east than the big ten or the sec. or just stay in the second division acc after unc bolts to the big ten or sec. maybe the acc should invite navy to get nd to stay?
  18. ok, the padres announcers are worse than shep and morris.
  19. i guess seattle isnt that big of a market yet! stanford could potentially influence notre dame. then again, i really wonder if they would leave cal behind? but youre right about the academic thing, obviously. i still think the wishlist would be notre dame, stanford, north carolina, and then maybe virginia or cal.
  20. that said, i like your predictions because i have the eagles to win the division at +400, the colts to win at +220, and the lions to finish second behind the packers at +800.... so i hope youre right!!!!
  21. 9-8 is plausible, however very unlikely. beating the pack in green bay in round one is a little overboard.
  22. what would be the motivation for another exec to say that? its more likely that avila said it or some agent said it.
  23. "gave us a blanket that just about everyone is available". multiple execs saying theyre willing to trade him. that's about as much of a direct quote as youre gonna get from a "major league exec."
  24. ah kool aid. so tasty.
