    OT Rackers beat out Kris Brown

    This had more to do with Brown's recent dealing with Plantar Fasciitis. He and Rackers both did well in the preseason. Can't wait to see the meltdown when the Texans have a game on the line.

    TRADE: CB Calvin to Eagles for FB Charles Scott

    Does Green make the roster now?

    Can't sleep, dreaming of a Suns-NY trade

    Agreed. It will be interesting to see if the looming lockout will have any affect on midseason deals. Have a feeling teams are going to be playing wait and see with the exception of a few contenders.

    Can't sleep, dreaming of a Suns-NY trade

    If the Suns really wanted flexibility, they wouldnt have spent money on Hedo, Frye, Warrick and Childress.

    Interesting Upton Thoughts from AZCentral Article

    I think the problem with Upton's lack of development (as is the case with many of the young guys), is that this team hasn't had any veteran leaders to take him under their wing to show what it takes to be a major leaguer. The organization as a whole had a good approach with trying to...

    Rumor: Edwin Jackson

    This is one time where I won't mind being proven wrong. Even had a big hit.

    Rumor: Edwin Jackson

    True, but Garza's fastball hits 93-96 and will occasionally touch 98. His stuff is better than Hudson's. Hudson will rely more on location and finesse where Garza will try to overpower. Not saying Hudson can't be successful (obviously Maddox and etc have done it with less), but he'll need to be...

    Rumor: Edwin Jackson

    He doesn't have the stuff. In the Mets game he threw 70+ fastballs (which sat between (90-93mph). His fastball has some late life but not much. Most pitchers cannot be successful throwing that many fastballs - major leaguers will tee off. The Mets are simply a bad team and did not take...

    Rumor: Edwin Jackson

    It was great to see a good outing from him and I'm excited for his future, but most scouts agree that his upside is 2/3 max. Then again most didnt think Webb would be as good as he was, so who knows.

    Earl Clark - keep or throw back?

    So does his talent and mental midgetry.

    Earl Clark - keep or throw back?

    The problem with Clark is upstairs. All the talent, not enough motivation/confidence to fully utilize it. His value isn't high right now so I think you give him this season and maybe next before you cut bait.

    Rumor: Edwin Jackson

    Already like this package way more than what we got for Haren. Espinosa is a good, but not great shortstop prospect, Jaime and Rodriguez are high-ceiling but not yet ready guys and Ely is a grinder with okay stuff. Would do this all day long for Jackson, who hasn't really shown me much this...

    2010 MLB trading deadline thread

    Agree with most of everyone's thoughts here. From a talent standpoint, I think Detroit can offer the best deal. Would love to get Turner/Crosby even though they are probably further away from the majors than the D-Backs want. I know Detroit is on Haren's list of teams he can veto a trade to, so...

    Webb coming back this season?

    If he had torn his rotator cuff I would agree and would subsequently allow him all the time in the world to get back. Unfortunately the procedure amounted to arthroscopic surgery and his motivation to return has been questioned by the team as well as medical staff. Combine this with his overall...

    Webb coming back this season?

    Yeah he can go eff himself as far as I'm concerned. Later Webb.

    Suns AND Hornets want to hire Demps as GM

    Suns AND Hornets want to hire Demps as GM

    I don't want Penn. He's a capologist, not a personnel guy like Demps. Then again, $arver doesn't like scouts or draft picks so maybe it doesn't matter.

    Suns 2010 Summer League games thread

    Earl Clark has a lot of Boris Diaw in him. So frustrating.

    Roster size

    I will reserve roster predictions until after we make the one more rumored trade.

    T.O.

    Then why doesn't he have a job right now? He is the poster child for the phrase 'addition by subtraction'.

    T.O.

    The last thing the Cardinals need is a TO complaining about touches when Matt Leinart is at the helm. Its a great way to ruin a young qb and team chemistry.

    Suns meeting Amar'e Stoudemire, final deal extension push before July 1

    I've been over this in a few threads, but given how competitive and desperate teams like the Nets and Knicks will be, don't be surprised to see them commit to that 6th year via S&T with the Suns just to be able to land Amare. There are a lot of teams with enough room to sign max players that it...

    Suns meeting Amar'e Stoudemire, final deal extension push before July 1

    Good find. The way I understood it was that he could be insured, but not for the entire length of the contract he demands (the insured years I heard was 4). This seems to align with what we hear on the length of contract being offered to him. One thing that I don't think shows up either is if...

    How Does Lawal Fit?

    I think his upside could be a Brandon Bass or Paul Milsap. All of the interviews I've seen with him were very solid and apparently has a great work ethic. For a mid 2nd round pick I think that's all you can ask for.

    New Phoenix GM?

    You're right, they're not Lebron. But think about it, would Chicago rather have control of Lebron for 5 years or 6? Pretty obvious that they want him as long as possible. How do they get that done? S&T with Cleveland. Cleveland would do it because they know he's gone but at least want someone in...
