2018 Spring Training notes and random tweets
QUOTE (fathom @ Feb 17, 2018 -> 10:24 AM) Chuck and Guff have done an amazing job covering the rebuild over the last year. The Kopech podcast was great. I wonder if they will do another Cornerstones show this season. Completely agree on all accounts. I also love what Kopech says about Cease too who is a personal favorite of mine in our system. Think he's going to jump in the rankings this season.

2017-18 official NBA discussion thread
QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Feb 17, 2018 -> 07:21 AM) Bulls need to sit all three for the rest of the year. You don't sit the main 3 players you are trying to develop and build around. They need to restrict Lopez and Holiday's minutes. Grant as well (whomever they feel doesn't have a future at all with this team, you can easily make the case all 3 don't) and start playing Vonleh, Blakeney, Felicio, Zipser and of course the main tank commander, Cam Payne. Vonleh and Blakeney might be the only two there who might actually stick around in the future as bench pieces, but all of them need to play more.

Hawks trade Ville Pokka to Ottawa for Chris Didomenico. The last piece of that awful Nick Leddy trade officially comes to an end.

At least there's one team in Chicago that knows how to tank properly.

2018 MLB Draft
QUOTE (DirtySox @ Feb 12, 2018 -> 10:48 AM) Gorman is my far too early hope, but if the Sox decide to go pitching, Shane McClanahan is tantalizing. Sounds like the kind of pitcher that would thrive in the Sox system. "The power lefty missed 2016 with TJ surgery after a big velo jump, but he’s back and the fastball taken another step forward, working 94-97 and hitting 99 mph. McClanahan also has an above-average slider and changeup, but fringy command." https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/mlb-draft-r...-2019-and-2020/ I'd much rather have Liberatore if we're going with a LHP with probability. No injury concerns as well with a team already projecting a TJS guy (Giolito) and a guy coming off shoulder surgery (Rodon).

Terrible tank win for the Bulls. That was a big one.

Esteban Loaiza arrested (Drug Kingpin?)
Yikes. Shades of Sam Hurd right there. As a fellow (half) Mexican, this is very disappointing to hear.

Terrible win. At least Lavine won't play tomorrow since it's a back to back (so likely loss), but now they need the other tank teams to win.

I like Lavine alot and he's exciting to watch, but he should not be getting that many shots off and Markkanen only 7. Bulls need to incorporate Lauri more in this offense not just him. He should arguably be the #1 option, at worst #2. I'll reserve complete judgement until I see Dunn out there with both of them, but when I see bench players getting more shots off... not good.

Looks like the Hawks are gonna be in the lottery this year (which honestly might be the best thing for this franchise). 4.5% odds of the #1 pick and rising.

QUOTE (TheTruth05 @ Feb 8, 2018 -> 10:23 AM) This. I'm totally on the boat that McDaniels is a scumbag for leading the Colts and his assistants on but the Colts got ahead of themselves as well. Ballard from some accounts is kind of a slizeball too. Who knows though.

Kings are so bad the Bulls could put Payne, Felicio, Zipser, Blankley and Arcidiacono out there and still win. Too bad too considering Magic won which would severely help the Bulls if they lose tonight. (At least Pelicans lost and Denver won so that helps their other pick) EDIT: Lopez trying to single handedly help us though.

BP 101 lists 8 White Sox Prospects
QUOTE (bmags @ Feb 5, 2018 -> 04:28 PM) Just keep in mind entered league a year older than Tucker. He's already had his age 20 season (at two levels lower than Tucker) And Ryan Sweeney was already in AA (about to reach AAA) at Rutherford's age. Point is, noone knows how this kid is going to project.
