QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Dec 22, 2014 -> 05:33 PM) I called how horrific that signing was long ago. Let's put as many inefficient guys on one roster and see what happens!! It wasn't even the inefficiency that I thought was stupid, it was that the talent on their roster forced him into his worst tendencies (playing him as SF). I hope he gets it. When he would really play in the post he was a thrill. But man I would never want him on my team.

Ok. Wellp, moving on from this marginally entertaining story.

Luckily with Jimmy, his midrange shots are not being hit at an incredible rate nor do they make up an abnormal amount of his points scored. So this doesn't appear unsustainable. And the reason I'm so confident here is that his best skill is getting at the line.

His timelines have been so confusing. Good to see he is throwing again. He'd be a huge pen help if healthy.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Dec 22, 2014 -> 05:16 PM) Supposedly Harbaughs attitude/ego has a shelf life with organizations. Finally when it breaks, its time to move on. But he will get a lot out of the situation he is in This is why people think a college job is a really good fit (players have a shelf life). I just think it kills him that his brother has more superbowls and he'll try and find another job.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Dec 21, 2014 -> 07:17 PM) The winning team has to know they won, doesnt the window to sign a player start when the bid is accepted? You never know. Maybe the email got filtered to spam.

I'm not even sure I want this guy. More just the excitement of these things, than anything else. I got confused and was thinking the 5 mill means that's their contract. Not sure I want a $10 mil flier.

How often does a multiretread coach like shanahan work out? I guess Marty had periods of success and failure, as did Turner. But both found their success in SD with great rosters.

That depends. Do I want to trade Chris Sale? Is that the best value that I'm getting? People act like there is a blue book value on players. The sox wouldn't make that deal because the white sox are not trading chris sale

Does the team that won the bid know they won yet? I don't understand how this has operated so silently.

Terrible. With so many manifestos being written and posted prior to the act, I really wonder what duty there should be to follow in on these and what the noise to action is.

my HTC One M7 has become a real thorn lately. It has been heating up and draining for the past 10 days. I have not been able to figure out what the hell is taking up so much resources, even when I go into it. I did a factory reset adn restore today. I'm 6 months away from an upgrade, but I'm not sure how much longer I can last not having a phone that can get through more than 5 hours day.

QUOTE (Buehrlesque @ Dec 20, 2014 -> 10:02 PM) Meh, it's not bad, but it's not extraordinary. It's putting a lot of eggs in the Baez basket, and he didn't exactly tear up AAA last year. Almora is coming off a poor season too. And there is NO pitching at all in a package like that. Unless the Cubs are willing to part with Bryant (which it doesn't seem like they would), any Sox potential offer would be in the same ballpark as the Cubs. Anderson is a step down from Russell, but Montas/Danish/Adams are way better than any pitching the Cubs could offer. It'd be interesting. What recent trade has been better? Nobody is giving up a lot for single players anymore. That will absolutely net Longoria

I can live with that game. Kids are starting to believe. They just need to stop giving up on possessions early with threes. Tough loss. I'm worried mizzou may not score vs Kentucky though. Yeeah.

He's a 6'7 guy who is starting out at key and can shoot 3s. It's hard for taller players to guard out there.

QUOTE (gatnom @ Dec 20, 2014 -> 08:30 PM) Watching this Illinois team struggle has been worse. This is probably my sneak peek into a future Anderson team. i imagine Illinois won't always be this allergic to three point line though.

Man if these players don't transfer I know years 3-4 will be good but this basketball is miserable

Dang. Stupid Keppinger.

Did you guys see scefters tweet? He's saying bears will have to send huge package of picks to get rid of Cutler

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Dec 19, 2014 -> 02:33 PM) In defense of bmags, I think he was trying for a discussion not about predicting who would actually be there, but who COULD be there from WITHIN the organization today. To highlight strengths and weaknesses. Yes. But I took the chance people would only read title and prominent position list when I wrote it. It's basically how I believe this year is incredibly crucial for the Sox upper tier prospects to know if our first wave of talent will prove to themselves as either valuable starters or maintain trade value.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Dec 20, 2014 -> 02:02 AM) Niko is on f***ing fire its a joy watching him develop

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Dec 19, 2014 -> 04:39 PM) Barnwell made a good point about this benching - doesn't it sort of suggest a deal is already in place to move him? Otherwise why give up your negotiating position so soon? If no deal is in place, the Bears have let it be known that they now HAVE to get rid of him. You are looking for rational thought.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Dec 19, 2014 -> 03:18 PM) Bulls. They'll end up paying way more than they would have this year. He will sign an offer sheet with someone and the Bulls will match. I'm not sure bulls will even let him test.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 19, 2014 -> 05:18 AM) I honestly know nothing about the subject but that would be great. It would be tough to replace him. a lot of players a lot worse than Jimmy Butler are about to get paid the max. That said. This is your bulls team for next two years. But replace brooks with his replacement small PG and you may have to replace Dunleavy with McDermott.

No team can outbid the bulls.
