    I think you're much more likely to see the SEC go after ACC teams like Florida State and/or Miami before they'd consider letting Baylor and the like into the conference. Per ESPN tonight, a 'Big 12 coach' has been informed by his AD and university president that the Big 12 Conference would indeed dissolve if Nebraska leaves for the Big Ten. http://sports.espn.go.com/ncaa/news/story?id=5270048 Kind of funny that at the end of the article it mentions that even with the addition of some HUGE TV markets, the Pac-16 network is projected to distribute less revenue per member than the Big Ten Network.

    Is anyone else becoming a bit concerned that seemingly 96% of the updates and information contained in these reports seems to be coming from Chip Brown at orangebloods.com? How reputable is this stuff in actuality?

    Id rather have a 12 team conference with the Big 12 staying together, by adding Notre Dame. Unfortunately, the problem with that is Notre Dame remains completely uninterested at this point. I like the addition of Nebraska. Notre Dame and Nebraska were really the only two teams being thrown out there that fit the mold as "Big Ten" teams in terms of prestige, geography, etc. I'm thrilled about a conference championship, and adding Nebraska to the western side of the conference makes division-splitting much easier, IMO. Obviously the most interesting thing about the move is the potential aftermath. With Texas expected to leave the Big 12 and the whole Big 12 south expected to follow, how awful must it feel to be the people running that conference and knowing there's a really good chance the conference won't exist next week at this time? I think there's a great chance that the scenarios are being overblown and there's probably just as good a chance that something simple happens like Nebraska to the Big Ten, Boise State to the Big 12, and everything else stays the same. Still, dramatic shifts to a 4 major conference format probably is the death of the BCS at long last and gets us a playoff system, and that end justifies the means for me.

    He was just a guy with average to below average stuff who had a few years with really good control and got rich Riske had 5 straight years with an ERA below 4. He was signed to stabilize a bullpen that was one of the weakest parts of the team in the 2007 season. You can call it a mistake because he got injured and it hasn't worked out, but it wasn't a bad signing at the time by any stretch.

    Callis " The Cubs could have waited 3 or 4 rounds....." ouch.

    Hart isn't sure if Sale is going to be a starter? Yipe, not really the ceiling you're looking for in a high-ish first round pick if he's accurate.

    Just because that has value to this staff doesn't mean he's not overpaid, which he is. I certainly think that's fair. But I don't think there's any way Wolf/Gomez wouldn't be viewed as more valuable to this team than Hardy/Cameron for the 2010 Brewers, and that was my point. The money spent on Wolf may not be ideal, but it's a heck of a lot better than spending it on Hardy/Cameron.

    Those cost savings got us three years of Randy Wolf Wolf has a 4.5-ish ERA and has been pretty much what was to be expected. Considering the value that a 4.5 ERA has to this staff (sadly), I disagree with your gloom about that signing. Two years from now, I reserve the right to change my mind, though.

    Nice "hustle" there, Lucroy.
  10. PeaveyFury
    Let's move this back to talking about Hoffman, please. We've got plenty of threads discussing the state of the Brewers, their chances the remainder of the year, etc.
  11. PeaveyFury
    I love the home "crowd" booing their own pitcher for throwing over to first a bunch of times.
  12. PeaveyFury
    We have a dedicated Suppan thread already (and numerous discussions embedded in other threads), so further discussion about the topic should belong there.
  13. PeaveyFury
    I said a few weeks ago that Suppan would have to fail in his new role as a reliever before they'd move on from him. I think we're clearly at that point now, so I really don't see Suppan here much longer. If they don't want to outright DFA him, I could see him going on the 'disabled list' for the remainder of the year, with Suppan staying with the team as more of a mentor/motivator. I think his character is about all he offers to us at this point, sadly.
  14. PeaveyFury
    Willis' ERA is under 5 as it is, and he's pitched minimally the last two seasons, but it might be worth a flier to see if Peterson can do anything with him. He's still only 28, and if we can move Suppan for him, I'd be for it.
  15. PeaveyFury
    Zaun to the 60-day DL would seem like a very likely way to get Capuano on the 40-man.

    When driving, I hate waiting behind someone who insists on making a left turn at a stop sign when a row of people behind that person all want to turn right. My major, major peeve is in a three-lane intersection with a left turn lane, along with two lanes that can go straight including the one furthest to the right. In rush hour, there's always a doofus sitting in the far right lane going straight and blocking a line of cars making right turns, while there's like one other car sitting in the other straight lane.

    So the fact that the Rangers were willing to expose Cruz to waivers obviously means they didn't think too highly of him at the time meaning that we really didn't have to add Cruz. Or that neither team put much value in adding Cruz to the deal.
  18. PeaveyFury
    Please, let's use this thread to discuss Dana Eveland as intended, not Jeremy Jeffress or his issues. Thanks
  19. PeaveyFury
    Pierzynski has been absolutely horrible this year, so not going after him is probably the correct decision.l
  20. PeaveyFury
    I really can't believe that ball hit by Braun didn't make it out. That looked like a lock of the bat to me.
  21. PeaveyFury
    How can anyone dislike a GM that can get the phrase 'and that' into a short sentence multiple times?
  22. PeaveyFury
    Lucroy and Wolf are not even close to being on the same page right now. Hopefully the veterans can help give Lucroy guidance that helps him going forward.
  23. PeaveyFury
    I think if his name was Tom Smith and attached to those stats, he probably wouldn't even be considered. But familiarity often gets people to take a 2nd look.

    If you are a company that allows for an online application for something, you really should put a disclaimer that mentions that if you logout in the middle of the application, you won't be subject to the two most logical results of that action (that you either will continue your application where you left off or would have to start completely over), but instead that the application will be submitted as is wherever you are in the process. Major, major ugh...... After working out the above issue with them on the phone this morning, I've since discovered that their online payment system is complete crap. I mean, what kind of payment system does NOTHING when you click 'submit', with no message or anything? Now watch me get charged like 5 times for clicking until I realized the above.
  25. PeaveyFury
    I really thought they were going to kill him off there.
