Jose Abreu

I had to write an essay mathematically predicting what Derrick Rose's career would be like (written right after his MVP season) in 2011. I saw it today for the first time since I wrote it. This was part of my concluding thoughts. Sad.

QUOTE (Dunt @ Nov 19, 2015 -> 08:20 AM) Not sure either 2B is all that passable. Even with his defense last season, Sanchez had a -0.2 fWAR and Micah had a -0.4. Walker, by comparison, had a 2.4 fWAR. I would say a 2.5 win improvement is probably worth $10 MM. WAR is a cumulative stat, so you can't compare Walker's to Sanchez's or Johnson's because they didn't get as much playing time. Sanchez's war was negative because of his atrocious home/first half hitting. He seemed to figure it out by the end of the year. If given a full season, I think he could put up a positive WAR.

Panarin is 30th in goals, 6th in assists, and 4th in points.

Kane now leads the league in goals, assists, and points (13/17/30).

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Nov 19, 2015 -> 12:32 AM) Dellin Betances and Shawn Tolleson were better pitchers in 2015 according to 2 writers....A couple thought Marco Estrada was better..... Holy f***, ban those writers immediately. Yeah, Marco Estrada and his 4.40 FIP for Cy Young!

Blowing a 17-point 2nd quarter lead but winning a nailbiter is so Bulls. Get ready for your first loss, Warriors.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Nov 19, 2015 -> 07:50 AM) http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/no...ark-shot-police I'm sorry, I don't give a f*** if you're black, white, or anything else, you interfere with paramedics working on a guy you just beat up, you're going to get shot. If you think this is racial then you are the problem and not the police. This.

Crawford with a great OT save

Didn't Samardzija speak out against the Cubs at some point while he wasn't on their team?

QUOTE (farmteam @ Nov 18, 2015 -> 08:42 PM) Are you kidding me? I'd take a 3rd for Daley and call it a day, easy. My bad, I meant as the Hawks I would do it. I was being sarcastic. Way too high of an asking price

QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Nov 18, 2015 -> 04:32 PM) No idea. The two teams I've been told the Cubs have spoken to specifically are the Indians and the White Sox. https://t.co/lZXrenKF5p https://twitter.com/JulieDiCaro/status/667062207369388032 @JulieDiCaro @jgaepi so the White Sox have talked to the cubs about Baez and/or Soler? https://twitter.com/whisox05/status/667066288280240128 @whisox05 @jgaepi Don't know what names were discussed on the Cubs end. The discussions were about pitching. Assume Quintana was the target. https://twitter.com/JulieDiCaro/status/667106773996843009 Ran across the tweet. I tweeted her and she replied back. Interesting... maybe we talked Quintana/Schwarber?

Dan Hayes' story on it

He finished 4th

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Nov 18, 2015 -> 01:05 PM) Their is zero chance it will be anyone other then Arrietta. That said, if I were voting I'd give it to Greinke, followed by Jake followed by Kershaw. f*** bwar. Actual performance by Greinke (and run reduction) was absolutely incredible (as was Jake's). Stats might say one should have been better, but I award individual performance based upon real performance and results, not hypothetical shoulda woulda coulda performance. So in doing so, you're wrongly viewing all pitchers as having the same defenses behind them.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Nov 18, 2015 -> 01:11 PM) Is that who we play after the Suns? Any word on Rose's status? Are they going to take it easy and have him miss tonight? Yes, and he's listed as doubtful for tonight. We'll see if he's a go for Friday. They're just being cautious

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Nov 18, 2015 -> 12:48 PM) Senators are really interested in Daley. Bowman's asking price is a 2nd round pick and Matt Puempel or Shane Prince. I'd do that

I'm going with Kershaw.

Probably??? He thinks Sale for Seager straight up would be acceptable?

The logical part of me is saying that they should do whichever plan involves rebuilding. But at the same time, we can't keep wasting years with Sale/Q/Abreu/Eaton, and now Rodon.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Nov 18, 2015 -> 12:09 AM) Not sure when the Warriors will lose. Friday.

Horrible FT shooting and 4th quarter coaching almost lost us the game

Butler with the GW-block on Paul George

Just curious, coming from someone who doesn't watch TWD- Were all the conspiracy theorists correct in their predictions that Glenn would come back?

QUOTE (shipps @ Nov 16, 2015 -> 04:26 PM) The Broncos will probably "John Fox" the Bears next Sunday and have the game hinge upon the final couple drives right? Oh great, the Fox/Gase storyline will be all we hear about

QUOTE (scs787 @ Nov 16, 2015 -> 01:06 PM) So Charles Leno....is he a guy? Really haven't noticed him at all, which is a good thing. Same for Long. If those 2 are OTs, that's huge. Assuming they resign Alshon, and roll with Langford/Carey next year, an OG might be the only thing they need on offense. That would leave them with a lot of money and picks to really help the defense take yet another step forward. I don't think that will be as easy as you think
