We've been over this before: he wants smart Jews telling big blacks what to do.

yes...while he is BLOWING Lebron!

bernstein admires the qualities he believes he also has. He knows he can never be LeBron or Mike Trout, but there is little doubt he believes he could run a professional franchise. It's really not much different than Mike North's obsession with free throw shooting. It's something he believes he can do better than most of the brothers in the league.

Not only that, I think he believes he could step into the job TODAY and be great at it.

Dan said Pedroia is "exactly my size" at 5'8", 165 lbs. WRONG, DAN. Dustin is not five eight.........AND. A. HALF.

Bill Simmons spent at least three years telling anyone who'd read/listen that he could run the Minnesota Timberwolves. The lines are converging.

_________________

And just so we dont lose sight of the actual truth in these jokes, Bernstein is not more than 5"6 and a half (that feels weird even typing the half)

Yeah but who the hell is Bill Simmons?

_________________

Bernstein might be trolling with the repeated height discussion. No one who has seen him thinks he's 5'7", much less 5'8". And that's likely in shoes with heels and lifts.

Right but wasnt Simmons basically making the point that the T'Wolves were run so poorly ANYone would be better?

He's more self aware than DB

Simmons has said--half tongue-in-cheek--he'd like to work in an NBA front-office but not as GM, more in a Bill James advisory kind of role as 'VP of Common Sense'.

This wouldn't surprise me in the next 10 years. The NFL will be the front runner and it will be great.

Honestly, I don't feel a day over 53.

I got the Score King pegged right between Jack Black and Frodo.

You'd think for as high of a profile guy as Mike Francesa is, he would know how to control his breathing while on the radio. Holy ugggghhhhhh

The more interesting question is, is the current Cub farm system the best in the history of Chicago.

Which four guys are going to be matching the Thomas, Mc Dowell, Ventura and Fernandez?

Very proud of our little group.

No Alvarez? Not sure if that lined up enough. Without looking I would guess Sirotka, Durham might have been there.

I'm not in either group. I hope I didn't get put in "Sox fan."

Bad comparison. Those 4 guys were not in the minors together. I think McDowell came up in 87. Robin in 89. Thomas and Alex were both up in 90 I believe.

I think what Bernstein is saying is strictly a class that is currently in your farm system. Not on the big league roster.

"It's reasonable to think he could hit .275 to .300 and if it all comes together he has 25-home run potential. All indications are he's a consistent guy on the field with a consistent effort off the field with his preparation.


Isn't this what Castro is projecting to be? I hope they can keep both.

An oversight

You are as real as ODB

I was watching MLB Network when they drafted that guy at #16. They had no video, none of the analysts knew anything about him, and the ticker incorrectly described him as a left handed pitcher. But, the first Cubs talking head they had on said "he reminds us of Greg Maddux."

Seems the analysts were correct and the old scout He dry was wrong on that one


What is the Cub guy on the draft show supposed to say?

"Bob, we've never heard of him. If he exists he's bad. Quite frankly I doubt that was the pick, can you check it again? "


Cubs fans HATED that puck from day one
