We shall see in a year or 2, how it shakes out. Now isn't there an Eagles board, where you can go debate how many games "no knees Bradford" will start this year? HAHA JK mostly

That guy should've been a solid NFL qb, but the Rams ruined him.

I bitched enough about Choo and expressed my "concern" over Beltre as well.

Seems like it may be another patient move by Banister which is going to payoff in the long haul.

I remember one night I got real sauced the night before I was supposed to run a dog in a field trial. I had to get up at 5:00 after staying the night where I'd been drinking, drive home and pick up my dog, and be ready to run first brace. I puked my guts up in the field, but my dog won that day.

I could have done that 15 years ago maybe, but not at 42. Now that shit hurts for a week and a half

Hamels had a good team to try to right his ship against tonight. Seattle is the 3rd worst team in the AL in runs scored and 2nd worst in team batting average. Maybe this will help him.

Yeah and Im just razzing him a bit, though it should be expected coming here talking about our mistake on our board

they should be. trading 5 young players for a soon to be 32 year old is a massive mistake, regardless of how good one's farm is. i certainly hope cole works out for you guys, but he's never going to be an ace in the AL. you paid a brutal price for a #2 who, in my opinion, is due for a serious injury in the near future. but, like i said, i hope it works out and you get what you wanted.

Frankly I hope it works out for both teams. More times than now however prospects remain just that...prospects until they just about top & fizzle out. I just think getting a known commodity with ace like stuff and track record is a no brainer especially when he's still controllable for 2 or 3 year more years. When everyone is healthy Texas should be a very very good team so you add him to Darvish and Holland that top 3 is one of the best in baseball.

Texas gave up very solid prospects but the organization has been able to find a way to acquire more talent so giving up the prospects they did they're still rated as one of the best farms in baseball.

Running for his life every snap probably didn't help.

Russell Wilson seems to do just fine, the Seahawks are not a good pass protection team

Once again, hard to blame ACL injuries solely on the quality of the team, not once but twice no less

If you're counting Harrison as one of the 5, you gotta re-examine your math. He'll be 30 in about a month and it will shock many, if not most of us here if he ever throws effectively for anyone, every again. Although we do wish him the best.

And I may be on an island here, but I think there's at least a 50% chance Alfaro never makes it.

Now Williams is the guy I hated giving up. Thompson has some nice upside too.
