    Wrestling Roster Draft: Luxe & Reduxe

    Now for my own selection. My own introduction can't do this guy justice, so let's hear from Bret Hart. El Dandy

    Wrestling Roster Draft: Luxe & Reduxe

    Time's up, so we can hit the next two picks. King Cucaracha selects George "The Animal" Steele.

    Spring Training 2009

    If nothing else, it means Chris Coste has survived Spring Training with his backup role intact.

    Spring Training 2009

    Jimmy summed up Sandoval pretty well. I would quote a comment I read on Baseball Think Factory. I ran a search on Baseball-Reference's PI, for players who stood six feet or under and weighed more than 230 pounds. The only hitters that came up were Prince Fielder, Bob Hamelin, Byron Gettis and Travis Snider. So at this point you have a player who's a switch hitter with a unique approach and a unique body type. What the heck do you make of a player like that? As far as catching, I figure the presence of Buster Posey is going to make that a non-issue anyway. Sandoval is probably going to need to stick at third base to have value as a regular player. He may be better served in a valuable bench role, filling in at three different positions. I'm rooting for him. Unique, different players make the game more exciting.

    MLB Mock Draft

    We're just waiting on Fokai's pick to finish up the week.

    MLB Mock Draft

    Last pick of the week, RF Sam Crawford. Crawford is MLB's all time triples king. 14 times he finished in the top ten in slugging percentage. He slugged .452 in an era where the league slugging percentage was .341. If he played today he would likely approach the 500 HR club.

    I'll take it. I've got two posters' picks already.

    Worst commissioner in sports?

    Much of a Selig hater that I am, I can't see giving him blame for the steroid scandal. Steroids have popped up in every corner of world sports. MLB, NFL, NBA, boxing, professional wrestling, the Olympics, the Tour de France. How should the commissioner of one sport put a hedge on that? Selig might have covered it up, but he couldn't have stopped it.

    Worst commissioner in sports?

    I don't see a problem with efforts to prevent player injuries in the NFL (and I wish MLB did something about home plate collisions, but I'm usually alone on that). Toning down celebrations though is really unnecessary. You scored points. Celebrate. It's a football field, not a church.

    You can always make your pick if there is no one left to pick before you.

    The Sweet 16 & Elite 8 Thread

    Yahoo has a tournament scenario tool. Kind of depressing to see that if I got every game right the rest of the tournament, Richard would still beat me.

    I'm just commenting that it's competitive, no longer a blowout. The hell? We don't ban or suspend posters for not explaining sports allegiances.

    MLB Mock Draft

    We're in the 11th round, meaning the players picked at this stage are numbers 181-198. Sheffield is top 100 in OBP, Slugging and OPS+. I say steal.

    Great pick. Mackey was also a capable enough player to move around the diamond. He was the shortstop for Hilldale's 1924 championship club.

    Spring Training 2009

    For the Mets or another team? The Phillies do the same thing, which is an annoyance but inevitable in a 47000 seat stadium. They actually do the same for Red Sox and Yankee series.

    My favorite part of that fiasco is how the lame duck Expos proceeded to (for all intents) outdraw the Florida Marlins in 2002.

    My ninth round pick won his first MLB game at the age of 31, and went on to win 197 in his career. He led the league in ERA three times, and seven times led the league in strikeouts. Dazzy Vance

    WWF/E Tidbits from the past

    I'd guess the latter. When he debuted, Fred Blassie went on and on about how he discovered a latin superstar.

    My eighth round pick is one of the most talented players in history. 1964 Rookie of the Year. 1972 Most Valuable Player. Four times led the league in OPS. Dick Allen
