If that plays out I wonder if that would be enough to entice Belichick to swap 1st round picks with the Bears and give us Jimmy G. Long shot but maybe he would consider it knowing he can take Garrett with the 3rd pick.

Its awesome that the industry is speculating on this. Pitt, NY, Houston...take notice and pony up.

Best case scenario for Sox is that teams that are realistically in contention for Q think of the slight possibility that the Sawks get involved and it pressures them to ante up.

I dont think the Sawks will have much interest in Q. The reason why they went after Sale was for worst case scenarios like this. It wasnt just thinking of best case scenario of having three number 1's. They may add in mid season but I dont see them going to the well again trading for Q. That would be borderline irresponsible and totally reactionary without thought for the whole picture.

Mark Lazerus‏Verified account @MarkLazerus 1m1 minute ago More #Blackhawks trade former top-liner Spencer Abbott and Sam Carrick to Anaheim for Kenton Helgesen and a 2019 seventh-round pick. That was late.

Bradford was a perfect storm of desperation. The Pats likely wont have that same scenario present itself.

If anyone has the balls to just keep Jimmy G and see how it goes just to spite everyone else its Belichick. But he also has the balls to make everyone think that hes going to do that just to get people to pony up to get exactly what he wants. Dammit.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Feb 28, 2017 -> 04:22 PM) I thought this was an interest read (dates back to 2014). Most curious was the 2007 list and who was listed as a bust (vs. say a Brandon Wood / Cameron Maybin). In general, always decent reality check looking at these type of lists and also even the other noteable guys from top 100 and often times it is the other people in top 100 who emerge better. http://www.sportsonearth.com/article/67202234/ Maybe Hahns plan to get the top of the elite guys is flawed then? He should be trying to get quantity instead of quality? Thanks for making me doubt the whole damn rebuilding plan.

Moncada is a guy that got a taste of big league time on a playoff team last year. Not sure he will be the guy that stays down all season.

QUOTE (miracleon35th @ Feb 28, 2017 -> 02:49 PM) If fans are this sensitive to losing a meaningless ST game like this, how wilt they tolerate a long term rebuild? I just have the Sox logo on the webcast link. No picture or sound. Who is sensitive? I just see some people referencing the score but no one is jumping off the ledge. There will be plenty of people over reacting to any negative reaction Sox fans have to poor play I am sure which is equally as laughable if you ask me.

QUOTE (fathom @ Feb 28, 2017 -> 02:33 PM) Yep surprised by how many predicting 75 or more wins You would be surprised at how bad some of these other teams are once the season starts too.

Do they have slaughter rule in ST? No???

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 28, 2017 -> 12:48 PM) Lawrie still is not completely ready to play. Right now the clear favorite is Saladino IMO. Lawrie has never been healthy. He is a non factor and I am still puzzled as to why they signed him.

Do third baseman have rapid early breakdowns as often or more often than catchers? It sure as hell seems like it has cut a lot of careers short but thats probably just anecdotal because I have seen in on our club.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Feb 27, 2017 -> 04:53 PM) This is true. i'm talking what they can do right now. 2 years ago Fox wasn't fed up with his lack of playing. That took a year or two. In hindsight, they should have traded him 2 years ago. however, I don't think anyone thought it would get to this point. There have been many Bear fans (especially on here) calling for a resign or plan with Alshon for the past two years. With the thought that they better not just let him walk for nothing. Two years later low and behold they are letting him walk for nothing. As a GM and coach you dont have the luxury to wait and see how things work out with every player before you make big decisions. You have to be proactive in a lot of dealings or else you can get burned. Now if the Bears tried to sign him with a fair deal in the past and he just doesn't want to be a Bear then that's a different story.

I think I root for what is thought to be the lesser guys in our trade acquisitions because if we can hit on those guys we will be sitting pretty.

Alshon isnt going to be on this team because Fox decided he didnt like his attitude right? He wasn't too fond of his soft tissue injury approach.

This is a dumb question but are people allowed to livestream like an entire game on FB if they are at the park or is that against MLB rules? Who could stop you if you did? Are people doing this? Maybe we can watch the game if they are.

I think the more concerning issue for the Stros is that he stubbed his toe. We all know how that can make a person want to *fruferrinpieceofshineverpickawhyisthishereyoumutheraaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh*.
