QUOTE(SleepyWhiteSox @ Feb 13, 2005 -> 11:56 PM) I said SOME SORT of offensive presence...Definitely more than Tyson... What saddens me is the huge strides Amare has made because Tyson could have and should have been something similar to that... Wallace's physique also helps a lot. If Tyson obviously isn't going the next Garnett, why not add a lot more muscle mass and become the defensive center he's capable of being? Skiles isn't playing him for a reason, guys... 37% of chandler's shots are ''jump'' shots and he makes 27 percent of them. 31% of wallace's shots are ''jump shots and he makes 21 percent of them. 36% of chandler's shots are from ''close'' and he makes 46% of them. 44% of wallace's shots are from ''close'' and he also makes 46% On a whole wallace is shooting .446 from the field and chandler is shooting .478. Chandler is shooting 67% from the free though line. While it is not a great % compared to wallace's 42% it is the greated thing ever. You give chandler ten more minutes per game ( which would be the amount of minutes per game wallace plays). His numbers all around would be just as good if not better.

QUOTE(SleepyWhiteSox @ Feb 13, 2005 -> 11:46 PM) He has NO jump shot, which he can get away with a bit... But having absolutely NO post moves whatsoever is unacceptable.. That's what has taken Ben Wallace to that next level: the ablility to have some sort of offensive presence to keep your opponent's defense honest... Haha, no, not at all. Another thing wallace is superior at is free throw shooting right?

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Feb 13, 2005 -> 08:17 PM) I like it because I go by A.J.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Feb 13, 2005 -> 08:20 PM) Right now I'd expect him to start the year off with the Warthogs for a few reasons. Mainly because Sweeney, Anderson and Brice should start the year off at Birmingham in my opinion, plus you've got Mike Spidale as well, who could be in Charlotte or back at B-Ham. I don't think Owens is going to turn into anything more than a Joey Gathright however though, but it's always good to have another potential leadoff hitter in the minors developing for you. If he turned into a joey gathright i would be very pleased. Gathright is gonna be a damn good player given the chance. But for some reason the devil rays do not seem to want to give him the chance.

QUOTE(KevHead0881 @ Feb 13, 2005 -> 05:10 PM) I've given up on Chandler becoming anywhere near the KG type of player I thought he could become. But I do think he can become a Ben Wallace type of player if he can toughen up and put on some pounds. He's proven that he can be a good rebounder and a dominating shot blocker. If he does nothing but rebound and block shots, thats good enough for me. I have been comparing him to wallace for a long time now. If you play him 35 minutes a game cinsistently he would be a force in the league. Not many players have the impact he does in the paint as it is already.

QUOTE(AnthraxFan93 @ Feb 13, 2005 -> 05:32 PM) Agreed, Nice move KW.. I just fell over after reading that.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Feb 7, 2005 -> 02:16 PM) So I guess all of the hockey and NASCAR fans should trash this thread with things like Not A Sport and Who Cares???? You actually defend people in hockey. Nascar? You drive around in circles. That is just so damn exciting.

QUOTE(ZoomSlowik @ Feb 13, 2005 -> 04:47 PM) Tell you what, I'll run a league on yahoo and make it a keeper. I'm assuming that we are going to wait until we know how many open spots there are in the current keeper league however. If you need another to fill out the league i will join it. But if there is enough interest in this league just give it to someone else since i am already in a league.

This should get interesting.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Feb 13, 2005 -> 04:27 PM) Who changed the name to the Sports Bar? I do not know but whoever changed it must have been thinking of me.

QUOTE(Brian @ Feb 13, 2005 -> 03:19 PM) Funk and Wennington saying that Minnesota looks flat and that they don't seem to care. Cause their whole team is full of under achieving cry babies that are having hard times feeding their families.

QUOTE(aboz56 @ Feb 13, 2005 -> 03:28 PM) Good move for Bowden. First time anyone has been able to say that about bowden this year.

QUOTE(JUGGERNAUT @ Feb 13, 2005 -> 03:14 PM) I would like to see either Mendoza v LH: 216A, 286O, 294S; v RH: 233A, 270O, 367S or Robb Nen v LH: 224A, 270O, 316S; v RH: .242A, .297O, .290S . Mendoza will be a yankee and why would nen come to a hitters park like ours when he could go to a better team that plays in a pitchers park?

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Feb 13, 2005 -> 02:58 PM) If Flip couldn't get the TWolves going, I don't know how the hell McHale is going to. This is your very basic case of the New York Mets 2002...too many egos results in too many L's. It worked last year, but not so much this year. They need some addition by subtraction badly. Also...I'd imagine it would take one hell of an offer to get Garnett away from Minnesota. I am trying to invision the type of package it would take, and I can't think of it. Curry, chandler, hinrich/gordon, and a draft pick or two.

QUOTE(Spod=Ratings @ Feb 13, 2005 -> 12:35 PM) i just like when he calls everyone kid...even if hes younger That actually really annoys me.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Feb 13, 2005 -> 02:27 PM) Bulls not on TV? Why is that? Do it twice a year every year. Never have known what the f*** the point of it is though.

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Feb 13, 2005 -> 02:36 PM) Do I have to do this again? http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?...&type=printable As for Zimmerman, I missed the MLB's decision to reject the minor league deal. Thank you. I could not it any where that is why i asked.

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Feb 13, 2005 -> 02:25 PM) Levine signed with the Giants, Mendoza is supposedly close to signing with the Yanks, Zimmerman won't pitch until after the All-Star break and has already signed with the Rangers, and I believe Rey Sanchez signed with the Yankees as well. Just leave Adkins in the pen and maybe he can have another "lucky" first half. Last thing from rotoworld about levine is this. Is it somewhere else that i have missed? Zimmerman is also not signed yet?

QUOTE(JUGGERNAUT @ Feb 13, 2005 -> 02:15 PM) The options thing again. Ok help me out. I think that means he can refuse an assignment & become a FA. For the Sox to assign him to a ml team he must first pass waivers. Is that about right? As for it clearing room for a MIF there aren't many left. The truth is that Iggy has played more G as SS in his career than Uribe or any one who would play better than him. I've been reading some more stuff on Iggy from fans of the Hawks (the best place to get the real deal) & they were entertaining the idea of his playing SS in 03 for the Hawks to get rid of a weaker bat in their lineup. So the fans of the team still felt he could play an adequate SS as late as 03. http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/wire?section=mlb&id=1989606 Some have retired, but there are still good names available: LHP: Omar Daal, Valerio Santos, Darren Oliver RHP: Curtis Leskanic, Ramiro Mendoza, Alan Levine, Jeff Zimmerman, Pat Hentgen, Mike Fetters, Shane Reynolds, Scott Service, Todd Van Poppel, Brian Boehringer, Andy Ashby, Robb Nen 2B: Mark McLemore, Rey Sanchez 1B/DH: John Olerud, Carlos Baerga SS: Barry Larkin Some of them no doubt will accept arbitration but there are still a lot of names available to pick up an arm better than Adkins for the pen. Zimmerman is gonna resign with the rangers no matter what. Oliver is signed. Yankee$ have agreed to terms with sanchez. More than like half the people you mentioned are over thirty five. Out of the relievers i do not see many at all that will improve over adkins. I would rather stick with adkins than most of them hoping adkins can break out.

QUOTE(farmteam @ Feb 13, 2005 -> 11:44 AM) Should be fun. I can think of a couple Sox players who could be taken in the first 5 rounds, depending on when there is a rush of a certain position. If any white sox players are taken within the first five rounds i will be laughing at whoever takes them. A lot.

QUOTE(Goldmember @ Feb 12, 2005 -> 11:58 PM) over/under - 1000 pages and half the posts belonging to qwerty... Tis is true, tis is true.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Feb 12, 2005 -> 11:55 PM) I thought you were against the bulk of the Rumors Thread, did you change your mind? Sarcasm.

I was just checking the online list about five minutes ago and it said it was posying in the sports bar. Even though it is not possible for it to.
