The Sonics were a real problem for that mid-90s Rockets because they played illegal defense constantly. But we just traded a weakness vs. one...
Portland has fewer people than Vegas and lacks the glitz and glamour of the casinos. Fewer tourism dollars, too. It's too bad that San Jose...
Oh, I realize. I was going to just "thumbs up" your post but then I decided to add on to your point.
Greinke and Odorizzi are the only arms in the rotation without innings concerns. We're going to need every inning they can provide, because...
Chapman was a 28yo relief ace - one of those rare guys with incredible stuff who was consistent year to year. Kimbrel is 33, and was terrible in...
I'll pass on trading assets for a big name SP. We have an abundance of quality SP and a real lack of good relievers. Should be able to deal...
I didn't draw conclusions or assign blame - I said people were free to do so. And they are. Your personal stance on this case, and others,...
If you read my posts in full, you'll see that the only conclusion I drew was that there was a murky incident that Billups was involved with, that...
I am unclear what "conclusion" you think I was drawing that was not based on "facts". Nor am I sure that anecdotal account from your college days...
I understand your concerns about "media reports" being a biased and often one-sided source of information. But that's true of almost any...
The DA doesn’t take payoffs, but it’s hard to try a rape case when the victim refuses to go forward after a settlement. People are entitled to...

There's every reason to pay attention to him. But you should use pencil, not ink, if you're drafting future lineups that involve his bat.
Granted on those two picks. Bregs, Springer, and Correa were all high first round picks, too. If you think that it's just pitching prospects...
There sure are a lot of expectations on Leon. He's both the SS and the CF of the future. This from a guy who is hitting .232 in AA and playing...
He's a classic case of a .300 hitting minor leaguer with zero pop - those guys tend to get swallowed up by major league pitchers who can pitch...
"Replacement level" I think the term accounts for positional difficulty. A player might be a replacement level CF but a good LF, for instance....
The Astros international scouts, along with Brent Strom, may be the organizational MVPs. Urquidy, Garcia, Framber, Javier, Paredes, and Abreu are...
If you really thought Tucker could play CF, you could play Diaz in the OF. He's better than Frazier with the bat, and wouldn't cost anything....
It's really hard to separate out the latter issue (weak contact) from the former (low swing rate at balls). When you're facing a guy with no...
