QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Oct 31, 2014 -> 04:22 PM) No, there's just no 60 day DL (or DL in general, for that matter) in the offseason. If they didn't want to keep him on the 40-man, they'd have to non-tender him or DFA him, both of which would put him on waivers and he would be in a different organization next year. It would be a bad thing to remove him from the 40-man. They can't put him on the DL until near the end of spring training when the DL opens up again.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Oct 31, 2014 -> 01:17 PM) wtf, the Cavs have a two-time champ in LeBron. they'll be fine. They will be "fine", but this big three isn't nearly as good as the Miami one.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Oct 31, 2014 -> 09:56 AM) Baez didn't play well when he got to Chicago but he'd shown enough at Iowa to earn the callup. Don't look at this in hindsight. Many were talking about his strikeout rates before he ever got called up.

The Cavs are going to be a clear level under what the Miami Big 3 was. The biggest difference is that Miami had a World Champion in D Wade on that team. He was a guy who already knew how to win, and how to lead. Despite having talent in Cleveland, it has no where near the experience that the Heat had. They are way more beatable than the Heat were. Maybe that changes in a couple of years, but right now, just assuming the Cavs are cruising to the finals isn't as simple as it sounds.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Oct 31, 2014 -> 08:09 AM) The Two Escobars was one of the best one's of the entire series I liked that one a lot too. The Bosworth one was so well written because it went between Brian disappointing his father, and never feeling like he made him happy, to how Brian interacted with his own son, and how he told the story of his life and career. Just a great angle.
