MEANGREENMAN!

Not trying to be a wet blanket or anything, but Jacob Holmen shouldn't play the 3. There were quite a few times last night where you could tell he was hesitant to go out to the perimeter and then when he charged hard to close out he got beat off the dribble. Playing the 3 forces him to the outside and he still has an itchy trigger finger with the ball in his hands and doesn't take advantage of his size on the offensive end (turn around fades against 6'2 kids etc.). While having 3 guys on the floor 6'7+ is advantageous I think Holmen would probably be best served being the first guy off the bench for Kedrick with Franklin taking is spot in the starting line up.

Wells WAR over the last 4 years: 1.5, 1.5, 0.0, 4.0. Wells UZR over the last 4 years: 5.8, -21.8, -18.4, -7.0. Not what you want to see out of a guy who will eat $80+ mil over 4 years.

This is not true.

Imma let you finish, but Kanye's new album was one of the greatest of all time. /shows self out

This insane video is purportedly made by the alleged shooter.

You would have to be on some heavy stuff to be able watch 41 Cavs games this year.

I am much more partial to Pras' article earlier in the offseason. http://www.bbtia.com/home/2010/12/6/maximizing-assets.html

Oh I forgot the part where I said that. I wasn't arguing that Beltre is a bad defensive 3rd baseman, just that Gold Gloves are stupid. I can haz UZR?

Michael Young was a Gold Glover. Gold Gloves mean nothing.

Where have I seen this before? Hmmm....

Because this is worse than the Knicks punting 2 seasons to try to open up enough cap space for LeBron...?

5 years $115 MM with a 6th year option and easily attainable incentives. The Rangers were the highest bidder with a 7th year option went $161 MM.

Now is when we get to see JD do his work. Grienke's ridiculous price is only going to get higher and the same goes for Matt Garza who is not an ace to begin with. 3 top of the rotation guys were traded last year (Lee, Haren, and Oswalt) so the worst thing to do is jump into a seller's market desperate to buy. If I were JD first and foremost I would go after Adrian Beltre whose bat and defense, along with Young's presumed move to 1B/DH, translates to about a WAR of 5 (or about what was expected out of one Clifton Phifer Lee). Then I would target some low risk, high variance guys along the lines of Brandon Webb. Finally I would offer trades for a solid guy in the middle of the rotation. Guys like Fausto Carmona, Annibal Sanchez, and Ryan Dempster could really bolster this rotation to weather the storm until a guys like Adam Wainwright or Josh Johnson could become available if their teams struggle. The main thing is the front office needs to keep their cool and not make a move for the sake of making a move like the Mavs have done in the past.

This site uses generic sentence templates to put together an interesting stat based game recaps similar to what could be found on something like FanGraphs. I think I may use this, at least until it becomes self aware.
