If I recall correctly, he was more in the 96 range but his fastball had tons of movement on it, and his slider or curve was filthy. If he adds an above average changeup, while still learning how to be a pitcher, we are looking at a future ace here. I am telling everyone here right now, DLS will be making the White Sox look silly when we face him in 1-3 years.

Brown = cheap 1 year deal... Faneca = expensive multiyear deal for someone who will be on a decline who won't be worth all that money.

Tavaris Jackson isn't crap people... he's a good young QB who has shown he can be a NFL QB at times.

I despise this move. You should never trade 2 potential no. 2's or aces without at least getting pitching in return, and please don't include a young sweet swinging lefty with loads of potential on top of it. Call me crazy, but Sweeney and DLS will be haunting us for a while. I saw DLS in that summer minor league all-star game, I forget the name of it, and DLS has pure nasty stuff. I hate how people say, "well he's 2-3 years away, and we don't even know if he will be good." DLS is the best pitching we have had in a while and we will really regret trading him. And I hate it when you trade a natural like Ryan Sweeney. He has a natural swing and just has loads of talent. Give me a freakin break if you think he will suck because he hit a bump in the road when he was 21 in AAA and in a cup of coffee in the bigs.

are you impling that would be a good move?

nah, the Bucs were gonna take him if we didn't.

yeah, but in that case it was more like 2-3 rounds too high.

Jordan wants out and is asking for and getting his release. He will be FA.

Brown is a big upgrade over Peterson, no doubt. I see Fargas returning to Oakland, and I want no part of that piece of trash Jamaal Lewis.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/22493461/ Gonna miss this era's great defensive tackle. Beast of a player... but as a person he was jackass.

I should point out... Brown is out of Naperville North High School (and was a teammate of Justin McCareins there as well). So, he is a hometown product.

Chris Brown isn't restricted and he isn't bad... he's just injury prone. We almost signed him last offseason and since he will be cheap and would provide competition, I could really see him brought in again. He could be a real steal if he stays healthy, as there is no denying he is good when healthy, but that is a big if. In a reduced role getting around 5-10 carries a game, I could see him playing in 10-12 games next season granted that he will probably miss a game here or there due to being dinged up.

while some might think it would be too high, if a team wants a player, they won't hesistate by reaching 10-20 picks on him.

lol, you couldn't be farther from the truth, Flacco has an absolute gun.

here is a great video of the Bears future stud QB...

Slaton will be a second round pick due to the fact he will not be viewed as someone who will ever be able to carry to load but more of a split back in the mold of Reggie Bush.

Cameron might just take a lesser role for 08/09, and if that's the case, fire Pep Hamilton's ass and get Cameron in here as our QB coach and assistant HC.

Charles is similar to Devin Hester as in if he has the ball in his hands, he's a threat to take it to the house... Patrick, to a lesser extent.

edit: test post

Also, the reason why Beekman and Hass did not play was because they did not give us the best chance to win.

I had the same problem for a while but it went away after a couple of days or so. So, the only advice I could give you is to wait and hope it gets better. Perhaps someone else has better advice.

Mulligan brings up a good point about how when Lovie first came he had little power over the assistant coaches with how he wanted Babich as his DC but JA said no and brought in Rivera. Now it's completely different.

oh yeah, Lovie has all control over the assistan coaches and coordinators.

He didn't rule out using the franchise tag on Berrian.

He said Mike Brown won't be relied on but would like to have him back. He is focusing on needs this offseason and not luxuries.
