QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Feb 27, 2017 -> 11:03 AM) Which, If you like this young Cuban, puts them in a prime position to sign him if he doesn't clear before 6/15. This seems like a very risky strategy for a rebuilding team.

QUOTE (shipps @ Feb 27, 2017 -> 10:08 AM) How often does this happen? I am curious because this has been mentioned a lot but I am not sure if this happens every year and how frequently. I know the Cardinals are always good for it but I am not sure if its a forgone conclusion to happen frequently enough that we can count on this being a situation in the next month. I am really curious. I think pretty much every team is ready to roll with their team now. But ST is tommy john season. http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/mlb/2...-zone/97707990/ Cites that 27% of all TJ surgeries were performed in March and April (

Yeah, and every time Alshon was healthy and in a game it was like "whoa he is so much better". I am really surprised, but am also going to blame rams for their idiotic Tavon Austin signing.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 26, 2017 -> 01:01 PM) Even if he is cleared this year, he could wait until next signing period. Though with the change in rules, teams that are already over spending pools have way more incentive to bid now if he is cleared before the deadline. True, but pads have such a low ML payroll that I think they'd get him more than post 6/15

Dang wish I'd have been watching for Eddy. Btw Tyler Glasnow struck out 6 in 2IP

QUOTE (BamaDoc @ Feb 25, 2017 -> 04:54 PM) So Hou and Wash are both under penalty and can't spend over 300k on any one player? So we send money with Robertson and get players and international pool money. Same for Q to Hou and presto we could have a winning bid for Robert????? Only if he does not get cleared until 6/15.

Moncada is in!

haha Avi

Fulmers breaking stuff looks great

Liriano has a long swing.

And Davidson scores on a fielders choice by Soto.

Davidson with a base hit

I guess it will actually be Alex Wood and not Kershaw

Fulmer v Kershaw BASEBALL

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Feb 24, 2017 -> 11:20 AM) All this complaining...but I look forward to watching the Bulls play tonight. I enjoy basketball and Jimmy Butler always entertains me. It helps that my daughter always asks me where is Jimmity Buckets anytime a basketball game is on. When it is a Hawkeye game...she can't find him and asks if he is sick...when its the Bulls she always finds him and then gives me play by play of what he is doing, haha. I stayed fairly positive about the on the court play, it was bad but still competitive. But February it just got to be a slog. Same mistakes. It's crazy to think about those first 3 games of the season. The ball being whipped around, 3s falling. If it's not Jimmy vs. Toronto it's just not that fun to watch.

I've turned on all of them. There is not a single interesting bulls player outside of BUtler. There is also an incredible lack of athleticism. Nobody is interestingly fast, a huge jumper, etc. just a lot of bleh.

QUOTE (illinilaw08 @ Feb 24, 2017 -> 10:14 AM) You have to love the "jobs" President attacking a multi billion dollar industry that provides tens of thousands of jobs based on incorrect facts (marijuana use is linked to opioid abuse). If it's not a heavy manufacturing job or a coal mine, this jobs president isn't that worried about it. And according to frommers: http://www.frommers.com/tips/miscellaneous...e-united-states

Ha, I was hoping this thread would be about this photo.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Feb 23, 2017 -> 05:39 PM) What if you have said you want Gar out but the overall boss has said no or asked that you give him another year? One could argue that Pax would just walk, but none of us know for sure what the real situation is. I think that's a 2D way of looking at it. Yes, Paxson is being cut out at the knees. But how does a GM keep his job and preferred course over the wishes of his direct report? How did Gar become better allied. Paxson being right isn't good enough, he needed to execute that, and part of that was hiring Forman.

I mean, ultimately won't mean much to anyone except Bernie voters who think the DNC is like the CIA in power, which is the main reason it should go to Ellison. But, the white house probably pushed for Perez because they like him and he wanted the position.

Do we think Reince is lying or stupid enough to be public about this?

QUOTE (Jenksy Cat @ Feb 23, 2017 -> 04:56 PM) How do you "organize politics" when your boss (the owner) is a complete dope & there's another guy in charge of moves? The Chicago Bulls are pretty much the Kings at this point just with a history to fondly look back on. Joke of a franchise with no hope for as long as JR owns the team. Hahn seems to have done it.
