Adams' numbers went down by quite a bit last year. http://www.fangraphs.com/statss.aspx?playe...&position=P

Sanchez has about as much power as Juan Pierre. Do we really want a 3B that has an ISO under .100 in the minors? I'd think his bat fits a lot better at SS and 2B.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 29, 2012 -> 07:47 AM) Biggest free agent contract in Braves history. To B.J. freakin' Upton. LOL They'll have to pay Heyward soon though, so that mark is unlikely to last.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Nov 29, 2012 -> 10:54 AM) KC replacing Chen with Liriano in their rotation would be just about the best thing ever. Yup. Other than that no hitter he threw against the Sox in 2011, Liriano hasn't been real good against the Sox.

Should I pick up Jacquizz Rodgers to start at flex? My RBs are S. Jackson, Bradshaw, and Dwyer.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Nov 28, 2012 -> 03:56 PM) 90% of the league was juiced up. The All-Time HR leader not being in the Hall is frankly stupid. most hits ever? not in the Hall most hrs ever? not in the Hall the Hall? pointless Bonds was a Hall of Famer long before he started roiding up to no end.

QUOTE (Jake @ Nov 28, 2012 -> 10:05 PM) Illinois really is just in a different league from these guys. We cut our turnovers in half and make free throws at an acceptable rate, it's a blowout. Nevermind the other room for improvement, like Tracy Abrams. BP3 made 2/8 free throws or something ridiculous like that. It felt like I was watching DeAndre Jordan shot FTs.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Nov 28, 2012 -> 10:23 PM) Bertrand is just awesome. Has to be one of the most efficient players in the conference/country. That layup he made with the foul was ridiculous.

The Royals are looking to trade Bruce Chen. PLEASE trade him to the NL. Or better yet, we should trade for him and just stash him in AAA. The $4.5 million he's making isn't a big deal when you consider how many times he shuts us down every year.

QUOTE (beautox @ Nov 28, 2012 -> 08:58 PM) With all the influx of $ coming in from tv contracts specifically the espn deal brining in $25m to each teams coffers. Rios's contract looks very good if he can continue to be a 3WAR player. I hope he has finally figured it out and continue this type of production for the remainder of his contract 12.5 this year and next, and 13.5 or a 1m buy out for his age 34 season in 2015. The only issue with Rios is consistency year in and year out. But the same could be said about Upton. Other than age, Rios has Upton beat.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Nov 28, 2012 -> 05:58 PM) You could have saved me the trouble of going to ESPN by saying it was 5/$75. $15 million a year for Upton is a little excessive. I'd think $12 million a year is more than enough for a player like him. Just goes to show how movable that Rios contract is right now.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Nov 28, 2012 -> 03:44 PM) From 1996 through 1999 - ages 19-22 for AJ - he never OPS'd better than .718. He did have OPS's better than .800 - during his 2nd time in rookie ball and his 3rd time in AAA. That just proves that you don't have to dominate to be good or effective. However, you act as if Flowers was mediocre in the minors. He had 1 season below an .838 OPS, and 4 of his 6 seasons were .866 or better, leaving him with a career split in the minors of .275/.391/.484/.876. Mike Napoli showed better home run potential, but I honestly don't think that comparison is too far off. Flowers needs to play regularly, and I do think he can be a really, really good hitter for the Sox. Napoli can't catch for s***. Flowers is actually a good defensive catcher and he can throw.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Nov 27, 2012 -> 09:41 PM) For making the more intelligent decision? Why? Not sure you can call it more intelligent when the majority of the arguments for Cabrera by the voters are based around things like making the playoffs.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Nov 27, 2012 -> 07:52 PM) Hmm, bears beat writer Sean Jensen says the bears have genuine interest in Jason Babin You can't have too much defensive line depth.

I'll be moving to Austin next summer. Thanks for the help/advice guys.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Nov 27, 2012 -> 03:41 PM) Another guy with a huge year at the plate in 2012 gets busted Jeff Passan ‏@JeffPassan RT @TBrownYahoo: Phils catcher Carlos Ruiz suspended for first 25 games of '13 because of positive test for amphetamines. Not surprised.

Many many people are pissed off at Google's inability to run a functional checkout on the Google Play Store for the Nexus 4. For a company who has done checkout software for a long time, this is embarrassing.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Nov 27, 2012 -> 09:38 AM) If you don't go with an iPad, please, go with a Nexus model Android. The Fire is simply terrible IMO. I got one for my brother. I'm setting it up for him and yeah...it just doesn't feel right.

Thank goodness Steve Smith only got 60 yards. I'm now in first and fighting for a first round bye in the playoffs.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Nov 26, 2012 -> 08:33 PM) That's because it looks stupid. The Wii U is actually sorta cool. You can use the controller as a handheld gaming device. So you don't need to hog the TV. It's its best feature IMO. Which honestly is kind of sad, but cool at the same time.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Nov 26, 2012 -> 08:20 PM) He is a brilliant offensive mind, IMO. He's just not NFL head coaching material. Did an incredible job with the SF offense before taking the SD job. He was great in SD for a while too. I guess they just look bad because Philip Rivers isn't the guy he was 2-3 years ago. Still, almost anything is better than Mike Tice.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Nov 26, 2012 -> 08:18 PM) A lot of people already speculating Reid will be the next coach in SD. Apparently he just had a home built there. The Bengals are playing very well recently. Would love to bring Turner in as OC once he gets axed. Norv Turner appears to suck the life out of everything. IDK man...

The Eagles are so f***ing bad. Remember when they signed 3 of the best defensive FAs two years ago? Asomugha sucks. Where the hell is Cullen Jenkins? Only Jason Babin gets noted here or there when you watch their games. You can't buy yourself a championship in football.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Nov 26, 2012 -> 07:13 PM) Far Cry 3 looks really awesome. I've owned Far Cry 2 for many years now, but never really played it much (it's actually quite hard). But I'm giving it a second chance now, as a prep for FC3. IGN gave it a 9.0, and the video review made it look sweet. Far Cry 2: African jungle driving simulator.
