Positional Rankings: Center Fielders
Written by Justin Zeth
Published: 19 June 2007
Instead of doing team Power Rankings – I've tried to do those, but I get disinterested by the time I'm down around 14 or 15 or so – I'm going to rank all the regular or semi-regular players in the game by position. Today we'll start with center fielders. As we will see, it's hard to be a major-league center fielder. Not everyone will get his own comment. Some guys are just too bland to really tickle my fancy much, you know?
These rankings, like team Power Rankings, are based on this year only – players are ranked according to who, based on what we've seen so far, would I have wanted on my team from Opening Day until now, if I could use Guido's Time Machine to go back to grab somebody. For the most part, these ranking trace Baseball Prospectus' VORP rankings, with a few jingles and jangles here and there on my own subjective judgment. Minimum to make the list is 150 PA and more games played in center field than anywhere else. I don't think that's too much to ask.
1. Ichiro Suzuki, Mariners.
The dude catches a lot of flak for the things he doesn't do – like walk – but in a Good Ichiro year like this year, there's an awful lot of stuff he DOES do: He hits lots and lots of singles and doubles. Anybody that hits .342 is going to have some value, and Ichiro legs out enough doubles and triples to slug .456 and gets enough free passes from pitchers to post a .397 OBP. Add his tremendous speed to that mix – 17 for 19 taking bags – and you have yourself one fantastic offensive force. You know about Ichiro's defense, of course. I've seen rumors about the Mariners maybe thinking about trading the guy. The people passing these rumors around have seared their consciences through many years of smoking crack.
2. Grady Sizemore, Indians.
You know how good Sizemore is when you consider that .286/.402/.471 – while also leading all center fielders with 20 SB in 22 tries – constitutes a "struggling" kind of year. Sizemore isn't slugging like we expected, but .402/.471 from a decent defensive center fielder is a must-play no matter what team you're managing.
3. Curtis Granderson, Tigers.
4. Torii Hunter, Twins.
Torii has the slightly better stats -- .312/.357/.570 to .287/.343/.567 – but in a pinch, I'm taking Granderson because he plays better defense. Yes, you read that right. Hunter is still a good defender, but Granderson is a very good one, and the total package he offers should make the Tiggers happy for a long time to come. Hunter's having a very nice contract year, though, and since it IS a contract year, I'd bet on him sustaining his current level of output more so than Granderson, whose slugging percentage right now is way beyond anything he's done before, and that's powered by 13 (13!) triples already this year, a simply insane number.
5. Aaron Rowand, Phillies.
Rowand's excellent bat so far this year appears to be mostly a batting average fluke; make his batting average more like his .283 career mark than his .321 current mark and his rate stats are .283/.355/.454. That's still a valuable player given Rowand's defense, but don't expect the .393/.492 beast to keep hanging around.
6. Nick Swisher, Athletics.
Swisher's developed into everything Cap'n Billy must have been dreaming he'd be: An on-base machine (.423) who hits for enough power and can play a decent center. The A's have been jerking him all over the field this year—significant PT at right and first—but center is the position he's played most often this year, so that's where he counts. A center fielder with the pop and patience Swisher sports is rare indeed.
7. Hunter Pence, Astros.
Pence has the same VORP as Carlos Beltran, but has amassed it in only two-thirds the playing time. Part of this is because he's been hurt, but part of it's also because the Astros aren't the brightest light in the hallway. Pence is a beast, but beware – he's not a .337 hiter, which means he's not a .360 OBP guy and not a .562 slugger. Pence never walks—a trait that will catch up to him in time—and is in for the mother of all slumps sometime this summer. Watch and see if the Astros don't demote him or bench him or something when that happens.
8. Carlos Beltran, Mets.
One of the least deserving all-stars this year, Be... wait, what? Oh. Right. Most of the guys above him are in the American League. My bad. Anyway, Beltran's not having an especially great year by his own standards and could be a candidate for one of those Julys where he hits about .650 all month. His defense is still outstanding.
9. Gary Matthews Jr., Angels
. Don't leave your Whizzinator lying around where somebody might see it, Gary!
10. Josh Hamilton, Reds.
I guess it would be classless for me to give Josh the same advice I gave Gary, huh? Say what you will about small sample-size flukes – I've said it all, trust me – we still have to tip our hats to one of the savvier Rule V picks we've seen for some time, no? It's almost enough to make you overlook Krivsky's insane infatuation with middle relievers. Almost.
11. Kenny Lofton, Rangers.
Fact is, the Rangers are getting 80% of Gary Matthews' production for 10% of the price with Cool Papa Lofton. He can still take a base: 16 for 20 on the season. We won't talk about his defense.
12. David DeJesus, Royals.
Not much of an age 27 season. DeJesus is what he is at this point: Not an especially good defender with a pretty decent bat for a center fielder. Nothing special, in other words.
13. Bill Hall, Brewers.
Didn't bring his power stroke with him to center field, and the Brewers have to be starting to think about whether this whole thing's going to work out. Hall was a below-average shortstop and is a below-average center fielder, but 2006 Bill Hall (.270/.345/.553) is an awesome weapon to have, considering his positional flexibility. 2007 Bill Hall (.264/.336/.436) makes for a nice tactical weapon, thanks to the same flexibility, but isn't an impact player. My money says 2005-2006 was Hall's peak, and about 110% of 2007 Bill Hall is what the Brewers can expect going forward.
14. Willy Taveras, Rockies.
Taveras is blazing fast but for some reason isn't grading out as quite as good a center fielder this year as he had the last two years before. His other problem also stems from his inability to intelligently use his speed: A team-hurting 15 for 23 mark stealing bases. Taveras is hitting better than he ever did in Houston – perhaps an effect of the revived hitter's paradise at Coors Field – but the dip in his stolen base percentage (he was 33 for 41 last year) and defensive prowess is head-scratching. He could be a good candidate for a strong second half.
15. Johnny Damon, Yankees.
His injuries have sapped his power, of course, but a .280 hitter who walks, runs, and plays an average center field has value. $12 million worth? Well, that depends on your perspective. For the Yankees it's probably worth the money, because that kind of player doesn't grow on trees, and trying to develop one yourself is just... you know... a lot of... work. They would be wise to let him sit a month or two, heal up completely, and then get him back into center field, where they really need him, because Melky Cabrera's bat just ain't cutting mustard out there on an everyday basis. Fun fact: Damon leads all center fielders with 11 stolen bases while yet to be caught stealing once.
16. Vernon Wells, Blue Jays.
And people have the nerve to say there's no such thing as Contract Year Syndrome. How you enjoying that .315 OBP and who-cares attitude, Jays fans?
17. Andruw Jones, Braves.
...and then there's Exhibit A against Contract Year Syndrome. Um, Andruw? The time to start hitting is... yesterday. Nobody's giving no $100 million contract to a guy who can't crack a .720 OPS and even the scouts are starting to murmur has slipped in center (Andruw has been merely an average defender for three years now, ever since Scott Bora$ talked him into bulking up because GMs dig home runs.)
18. Chris Young, Diamondbacks.
I thought this guy was supposed to have a good batting eye? .250/.285/.434. He has power, but he's striking out like Bo Jackson and isn't a very good center fielder. Stathounds like myself love Chris Young, but he has to show us something in the majors. Admire the Diamondbacks for recognizing that he's as good as they have right now and leaving him out there to do his learning on the job.
19. Chris Duffy, Pirates.
20. Mike Cameron, Padres.
You know what the difference is between Chris Duffy and Mike Cameron? Nothing. There is no difference. So far in 2007, they're the same player. Cameron has just a tinge more power, but Duffy runs better and plays better defense. You know what else they have in common? Combined, plus combined with Chris Young, they don't make as much money as...
21. Slappy Pierre, Dodgers.
Yes, your $45 million can buy YOU a below-average defensive center fielder with a .642 OPS! Or you can just find one of the 101 Chris Duffys floating around. Hell, even the Pirates were able to come up with Chris Duffy instead of paying $45 million for a guy who, in his better years, is maybe 10% better than Chris Duffy. Now we're going to proceed to the hideousness that is the "guys that are even worse than Slappy Pierre" club. Come on down!
22. Jim Edmonds, Cardinals.
Jim: I've been rooting for you for a long time. You were an exemplary baseball player, and you can manage one of my minor league teams anytime. I just might vote for you when you come eligible for the Hall of Fame. It's time to hang 'em up. Your friend, Justin
23. Darin Erstad, White Sox.
Did you know Darin Erstad used to be a punter at the University of Nebraska? Did you?? You did!? Why, you incredible trivia hound, you! That, or you've read a newspaper sometime during the past 6 years, during which, every single day, every single sports section in North America runs some form of article pointing out this incredible fact, plus the fact that Darin Erstad is "scrappy" and "a team player" and "a winning player." Now, I thought a winning player was at least the kind of player that we'd be confident is a better hitter than Tom Glavine, but there I go with my crazy rebel ideas again.
24. Elijah Dukes, Devil Rays.
Remember back when Dukes was the hottest thing since Ricky Martin? Way back in the first 15 minutes of the season? You do? Well, now he's hitting .192/.321/.396 and earning talk about his release, thanks to his nonstop classiness off the field. Dukes is still a player; he's not a .192 hitter, and if you change that to .262 you get a much rosier .262/.393/.466. Dukes isn't a good center fielder, but that kind of stat line plays and then some.
25. Melky Cabrera, Yankees.
These next three guys are statistically very similar; Freel has better hitting stats, but that's mostly the influence of his hitter-friendly home ballpark. Melky rates the edge because his glove has, somewhat surprisingly to this analyst, been superior this season. Don't get me wrong; his glove isn't superior enough to merit playing a .242/.308/.349 bat, but if he can move the ol' average up a few notches, that makes for a very handy fourth outfielder, the kind of useful spare part the late-1990s Yankees had that the late-2000s Yankees don't.
26. Ryan Freel, Reds.
After accounting for park, Freel is just about dead even with Alfredo Amezaga, which is to say, pretty awful. We'll give him the nod on Hustle Points, but Freel is a poor man's Darin Erstad, and seeing as how Darin Erstad is only a poor man's Willy Taveras, that just isn't going to get us anywhere. The idea of Freel as a quality regular is about as dead as can be by now, especially considering that in center field he's already shown himself to be a hazard to himself and others. .251/.313/.363 is the stuff not-so-great utility infielders are made of, and there are 50 guys floating around the minors with better middle-infield gloves than Freel who can put up that kind of hitting line. In Freel's defense, up until now his OBPs have been very playable – around .370 – so his precipitous drop in walk rate is a little baffling. It's worth giving him time to get healthy and see if he can get that OBP back up to where he's a good use of a roster spot. Don't forget: Freel is 31, having been in the minors forever. The end of the line may not be that far off for him.
27. Alfredo Amezaga, Marlins.
We all knew center field was going to be something of a fiasco for the Marlins, but hey, they're not much worse off than the Yankees, and better off than the Red Sox. Amezaga (.249/.305/.326 with average defense) isn't really a major league baseball player, but then, the Marlins have a bit of a shortage of those in the outfield.
28. Coco Crisp, Red Sox.
What the hell happened to this guy? He's stealing bases unusually well—13 for 15 when usually he struggles to take a base half the time he tries—but he can't even manage a .600 OPS. This has been going on for over a year now; it's probably time for the Red Sox to cut bait. The reason they don't is that Crisp has been legitimately fantastic in the field this year, and the Red Sox brass believes that for a center fielder that has more value than is commonly believed, value that shows up in the ERA of the pitching staff. Still... if that's what you're after, you could have had Willy Taveras for less.
29. Rocco Baldelli, Devil Rays.
I think it's time to acknowledge the ship has sailed for the Mark Prior of center fielders.
And the very worst regular center fielder in baseball, and folks, it's not even close...
30. Corey Patterson, Orioles.
.208/.263/.289. Average defense. Folks, Nate McLouth is better than this. Let me say that again: Nate McLouth is better than this. It would be wise for Corey to start thinking about going back to school and getting that degree in insurance sales, because the light at the end of the tunnel, in this case, is an oncoming train. Dear Orioles: Almost every team in baseball has several better center fielders than Corey Patterson kicking around on their bench or in the minors. The Marlins have a couple. The Pirates have at least three. We're not talking about teams run by brilliant management. You might want to give someone a call and see if you can interest them in a 26 year old AA bullpen arm in exchange for one of these guys. Corey Patterson is costing you several wins, and not compared to Grady Sizemore; we're talking compared to Nate McLouth.

Some news out today from the New York Times discussing a video made by Al-Shabaab that raises the question of a possible attack on the Mall of America in Minnesota, much like the one Shabaab carried out on the Westgate Mall in Kenya. And here's a link showing a bit of that from our Twin Cities Fox channel. Chilling stuff.
Back in 2010, I wrote a novel based on the stories I had heard about young Somali-American men being recruited in the Twin Cities to go join the terrorists and fight to take over Somalia. ALL THE YOUNG WARRIORS was published the next year. The second book in the series was published in 2014. And I can't believe we're still talking about this in 2015, with the recruitment efforts around the Cities actually growing, not just for Al-Shabaab, but for the Islamic State, too.
And now, a warning about bringing the war home to the Mall of America? Wow.
I'm pretty sure there will be another Warriors novel about Mustafa and Adem fighting its way out of my head and onto the page in the coming months. There's something about this story that is just...well, it's like rubbernecking at a fresh car wreck. We've got a first aid kit. We've got CPR training. We've got a phone to call 911. And yet in many cases, we feel powerless to do anything except slow down and drive on by. We hope someone else made the call. We hope someone else saved those people.
But someone will stop. Someone will lend a hand. Someone will call. If it ever happens to me, I hope I have the nerve to do what it takes to help save lives.
Sometimes we write novels to entertain. Other times we write novels to try to make sense of the world. In the case of the Warrior books, I think I'm once again writing about something I'm afraid of, trying to make sense of it, but failing miserably.

"A taut, fast-paced thriller . . . Kling's prose is strong and authoritative."
–The Miami Herald
From harbors of Key West to the wilds of Biscayne Bay to the night lights of Miami, Kling's tough-minded heroine has carved out a life that is uniquely her own. Now, in WRECKERS' KEY, the fourth book in the series, this fiercely independent woman is at a turning point . . . and in a dangerous duel with an unseen enemy.
Before Key West was the party capital of the Florida Keys, it was built by wrecking skippers who in feats of derring-do raced to shipping disasters to save valuable cargos from the ocean depths. But when a friend is killed, Seychelle begins to suspect a chilling scenario: that modern-day wreckers are causing yachts to crash onto the reefs–and killing off whoever gets in the way.
Seychelle's dear friend Nestor Frias was piloting a billionaire's luxury power yacht on its maiden voyage when it ran up on a reef. A few days later, Frias was dead. His eight-months-pregnant widow Catalina is distraught, and a host of questions surround both Frias's death and the ship's accident. When Cat turns to Seychelle for help in proving Nestor was murdered, Seychelle embarks on a dangerous course through the shoals and channels of the case and her life, unaware that a greater danger is looming: a murderous human storm designed perfectly for her.
With its vivid, colorful characters and rich sense of sea and land, Wreckers' Key is a brilliant addition to Christine Kling's fascinating, entertaining, and thrilling Florida mystery series.
Praise for Christine Kling
"Christine Kling's novels just keep getting better and better. . . . She takes her readers on fast-paced tours of areas into which few writers have ventured."
–Carolina Garcia-Aguilera, author of Luck of the Draw
"John D. McDonald would get a kick out of Christine Kling's suspense novels."
–Chicago Tribune
"Exciting . . . Kling is an author who bears watching. She clearly knows how to add texture and color to her narrative. . ."
–The Tampa Tribune
"Seychelle Sullivan fights off a very real array of land-based predators with a grit and determination that John D. himself would have cheered."
–Les Standiford, author of Bone Key

Impact Aid:
San Antonio Military School Districts Can Adjust to Reduced Federal Assistance
HRD-88-63BR: Published: May 19, 1988. Publicly Released: May 19, 1988.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
In response to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the Department of Education's reductions in impact aid payments to the three military school districts located on Lackland Air Force Base (AFB), Randolph AFB, and Fort Sam Houston, in Bexar County, Texas, to: (1) evaluate the reasonableness of the reductions; (2) determine the magnitude of the school districts' funding problems; and (3) identify alternatives for educating the school children of military installation families.
GAO found that: (1) the reductions in impact aid payments beginning in school year 1985 through 1986 were reasonable and appropriate, since the Department of Education based the payments on the expenditure levels of 10 of the educational-cost districts in Texas; (2) even after the reductions, the payments were about 2.5 times larger than the average local per-pupil revenues of the other 12 Bexar County districts; (3) as a result of the reductions, two of the three districts could face budget deficits starting in the 1989 through 1990 school year; (4) Congress has sought to discontinue funding to public schools which the Department of Defense (DOD) operates; and (5) it was unlikely that Education, DOD, or Texas would provide additional funds, since the three districts have not qualified for supplemental impact funding because of their high revenue and expenditure levels. GAO also found that alternatives for educating the military districts' students included: (1) consolidation with the local school districts adjacent to or near the bases; and (2) continuing the operations of the elementary schools and transferring secondary school students to other districts, which the districts could fund through impact aid payments and state revenues.

Flooding latest Midwest threat
DETROIT - Utilities in Michigan scrambled Monday to restore power knocked out by a gusty weekend storm as rain and melting snow caused flooding there and in other parts of the Midwest. About 177,000 customers were without electricity in Michigan, down from more than 400,000 on Sunday, according to the state's utilities. Some could remain without power until Wednesday because of Sunday's storm, which carried winds gusting more than 60 mph. Flood warnings were posted throughout the Midwest as temperatures rose after a week of heavy snowfall. Forecasters said flooding was possible in areas of Iowa, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan and northwest Ohio. Vigilante killer Nesler dies at 56 FRESNO, Calif. - Ellie Nesler, who sparked a national debate about vigilantism after killing her son's accused molester in a courtroom in 1993, has died of cancer. She was 56. Nesler died Friday morning at UC Davis Medical Center in Sacramento, according to hospital spokeswoman Phyllis Brown. She had battled breast cancer since 1994. Nesler made headlines when she shot Daniel Driver five times in the head in a Tuolumne County courtroom during a break in his preliminary hearing for allegedly molesting four boys, including her then-6-year-old son William, at a Christian camp. Some hailed her for exacting her own justice, while others condemned her for taking the law into her own hands. Nesler was convicted of voluntary manslaughter, but her 10-year sentence was later overturned because of jury misconduct. She cut a deal with prosecutors to plead guilty to manslaughter and get out after serving three years because she had breast cancer. Family thinks woman jumped MIAMI - The family of a missing cruise ship passenger said Monday that they suspect the woman 'chose an unfortunate ending to her life' and jumped from a cruise ship balcony into the waters off Mexico's coast on Christmas night. The U.S. Coast Guard suspended its search Monday for Jennifer Ellis Seitz, a Florida journalist, after combing more than 4,200 square miles off the coast of the popular resort area of Cancun, where the ship had just visited. Mexican authorities said they would continue their search for another 48 hours. Seitz had 'previous emotional issues,' yet there were no outward signs of distress while on the seven-night cruise from Miami, her family said in a statement given to one of her former employers, the Winter Haven News Chief. Blagojevich tapes could be released CHICAGO - U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald wants lawmakers to hear what Gov. Rod Blagojevich said on wiretapped phone calls. Fitzgerald filed paperwork Monday to release conversations caught on wiretaps to the Illinois House panel considering impeachment proceedings. Federal prosecutors have asked a judge for permission to disclose a limited number of the intercepted conversations in a redacted form. Fitzgerald said disclosing four calls wouldn't interfere with the ongoing criminal investigation. Blagojevich was arrested Dec. 9 on federal corruption charges. The governor is accused of trying to sell President-elect Barack Obama's vacant U.S. Senate seat to the highest bidder, but he has denied any wrongdoing. Santa shooter was bound for Iowa COVINA, Calif. - Authorities have corrected a detail in the aborted escape plan of the killer in last week's Santa shootings in Southern California. They now say Bruce Pardo intended to leave for Iowa, not Canada. Covina police Lt. Pat Buchanan said Monday that Pardo had planned to take a flight to Moline, Ill., after the Christmas Eve killings so he could visit a friend in nearby Iowa. Buchanan said an earlier report from coroner's officials that Pardo was bound for Canada was incorrect. Downturn means less garbage ST. GEORGE, Utah - The economic downturn has even reached the trash on the curb, and that's hurting sanitation workers. Washington County is producing less trash, in part because consumption is down, and in part because homes and apartments are empty, officials at Allied Waste Services said. The company's trash truck drivers are paid per home and by the weight of the trash they collect. Residential trash tonnage is down by 10 to 15 percent.More like this story

She is a great assest to being a judge in our area and we shoudbe thankful for all she has done with helping start our Drug Court in Brunswick county. Don't know all the legal issue but I'm sure she did what she had to do. She is very much against someone drinking and driving. »

ALEX BRUMMER: End of an Atlantic adventure for Vodafone?
Shadow boxing: Verizon Communications wants to gain control over Vodafone's 45 per cent stake in Verizon Wireless
The shadow boxing between Vodafone and US telecoms giant Verizon Communications over the future of their joint interest in America's fast growing mobile network, Verizon Wireless, looks as if it is reaching an endgame.
The new boss of Verizon Communications Lowell McAdam is making it publicly clear that it would like to gain control over Vodafone's 45 per cent stake in the mobile offshoot. Ideally McAdam would like to reach a friendly accommodation with Vodafone chief executive Vittorio Colao.
But there are increasing signs that if a peaceable deal between the two companies cannot be reached Verizon might be prepared to make an open offer for the Vodafone stake.
For a long time it looked as if the best solution for Vodafone and Verizon would be a full scale merger with Colao taking on the chair at the enlarged enterprise.
But in recent times the relative strength of the two companies has changed.
Vodafone is being held back by the eurozone crisis that has contributed to stunted growth. Its investment in fast growth markets such as Turkey and Ghana has been a huge success. But India has been more complicated with margins under some pressure and the Indian authorities pursuing the company over alleged unpaid taxes.
The passage of time has seen Verizon Wireless rise from a bit player in the US cellular phone market to the leader as it aggressively invested in increasing the range and flexibility of the network. It has received a huge uplift from the switch towards data communication most notably on the iPhone, iPad and other tablets.
McAdam expects this exponential growth to continue although it may involve putting in ever more investment that could potentially impact on Vodafone's stream of dividend income. Last year almost half the British firm's income came from the Verizon Wireless dividend.

The concern on the Vodafone board and among investors will be that Vodafone could find itself in a similar situation to Rank Xerox in the past when the investment in an US asset became more valuable than the core company and all the shots are called overseas with little UK input.
In some respects the current valuation of the Verizon Wireless stake, put at £50billion or more, is a vindication for Colao and his predecessor Arun Sarin who resisted pressure from shareholders to shed the minority stake, pay off debts and give cash back to investors.
It may be time for that to happen, giving Vodafone the resources both to reward shareholders (including this writer) and aggressively to pursue its emerging market strategy. Allowing the company to be at the mercy of American owners no longer looks very attractive.
Picking winners
The European Investment Bank is one of the European Union's more successful institutions picking commercial winners across the region.
At a time when Britain has struggled to funnel cash into industrial development and infrastructure the EIB has helped fill that gap, investing £2.95billion in the UK during the past year.
But the taxpayer has the right to ask whether Britain is getting value for money. With barely a voice being raised Britain has just coughed up £1.3billion as part of a big capital increase in the bank.
So why is this happening now?
All the evidence suggests that while the UK, as one of the biggest shareholders, will be able to draw on its resources, most of the money will end up – as in the last five years – on the European periphery.
Indeed, EIB money has been counted in some of the euroland rescue packages.
If the Government were really inventive and serious about growth it would have given this refunding a miss and used the new capital to fund a British Investment Bank capable of making sure there is venture capital available for the new technology coming out of our research based universities.
Putting money into Greece and Spain at this juncture does not look like money well spent.
Over to Roger
We have still to hear from Centrica, the owners of British Gas, on exactly why executive director Phil Bentley may be heading for the door. All the indications are, however, that he is the loser in a power struggle. As the executive responsible for the larger part of the group's profits Bentley looks to have regarded himself as the ideal candidate to succeed Sam Laidlaw, the current boss. L
aidlaw, after a good stint at Centrica that has seen it focus on energy exploration, storage and security of supply would like to step back in the next 18 months or so.
That will leave chairman Sir Roger Carr with the unenviable task of looking for new British Gas and Centrica chiefs at the same time.

Paul Silas out as Charlotte Bobcats coach |
topic by X_WunderKind_X - 04-30-2012, 03:08 PM
April 30, 2012 Paul Silas out as Charlotte Bobcats coach Paul Silas will not be back to coach next season with the Charlotte Bobcats. Silas will not get a new contract, following a 7-59 record in the season just completed. That means the Bobcats will hire their fifth coach since the franchises inception in 2004. Silas took over for Larry Brown in December of 2010. He finished last season 25-29. During that season the Bobcats lifted the interim tag from Silass job description and gave him a contract extension through the end of the season just completed. Silas, 68, has coached four NBA franchises (the Clippers, the Hornets, the Cavaliers and the Bobcats) over 12 seasons. His all-time coaching record is 387-488. The Bobcats are expected to quickly engage in a coaching search. Potential candidates could include former Portland Trail Blazers coach (and one-time N.C. State great) Nate McMillan and former New York Knicks coach Mike DAntoni. Another possibility could be Orlando Magic a.ssistant coach Patrick Ewing, who has close ties to Bobcats owner Michael Jordan. Ewing, among the best centers in NBA history, played on the original Dream Team with Jordan. As players they both were represented by agent David Falk. Silas best accomplishment as Bobcats coach was probably the development of Gerald Henderson, arguably the Bobcats best player. Henderson wasnt playing much for Brown, and Silas went to work on the former Duke stars confidence. When the Bobcats traded Gerald Wallace to Portland two months into Silas tenure, Silas inserted Henderson into the starting lineup. Hes been a fixture there ever since. During Silass 1 ½ seasons with the team the front office chose to dismantle the roster that reached the playoffs in the spring of 2010. After trading Wallace, primarily for draft picks, the Bobcats sent Stephen Jackson to Milwaukee in a three-team trade that allowed the Bobcats to draft big man Bismack Biyombo. While those moves made long-term sense, it saddled Silas with one of the least-experienced, least-talented rosters in NBA history. As injuries mounted and Silas was forced to play rookies Biyombo and Kemba Walker heavy minutes, the Bobcats lost their last 23 games and finished with the worst winning percentage (.106) in NBA history. Silas hoped hed be succeeded as Bobcats coach by his son, Stephen, his lead a.ssistant. Stephen Silas filled in as head coach several games the latter part of this season, with the blessing of the front office. Inside the NBA: Paul Silas out as Charlotte Bobcats coach |

the unfortunate part is that any one who takes the job pretty much knows they wont be there for long. so that takes any good coach out of the question.

mikes not paying what it would cost to have dantoni coach that team

its not his fault the bobcubs sucked. not a single coach would be able to come in and make them cats look respectable. it was just a very very bad roster. these dudes need an up and coming coach. too young to be trying to get vet coaches like d'antoni and nate. patrick would be nice. i've always wondered what he could do as a coach.
but i heard mike offered Silas a front office position. so that n*gga is good. | |

97-Year Old Woman Saved From Pitbull Mauling by Her Cat
http://technorati.com/ ^
Posted on September 5, 2010 3:30:04 PM EDT by Chet 99
Over at the best website known to man, Dlisted.com, is a story of Sophie Thomas, a 97-year old woman from Michigan and her cat Tiger.
Sophie was weeding her flower beds, minding her own business and probably aching from arthritis, when along came a gang of vicious pitbulls. The pitbulls, who belonged to her neighbor directly behind her home, surrounded Sophie, scaring the little old lady half to death, one lunged at her and she hit it on the head. That one back off, but others came in closer.
Sophie said she was pretty sure it was the end of her, until her little calico kitty Tiger jumped in front of her, grabbing the snarling, frothing, menacing pitbull gang's attention. Tiger then ran off, with the pitbulls chasing after her, which gave Sophie just enough time to escape inside her home. As she cleaned her bite wounds, she was fraught with concern for her precious savior Tiger. Miraculously, Tiger showed up on her door step a short time later, and they were joyously reunited.
As you might well imagine, the pitbulls' owner is a sophisticated young lady with colorful body art and a million excuses why her murderous dogs got out. Which begs the question? Does anyone who doesn't live in the ghetto or a trailer own a pitbull? Don't hate on me if you own one of these dogs and the above doesn't apply to you, save your hate for all the idiots out there who give your breed of dog such a bad reputation.
ExSoldier's question: Not so much about the kitty who saved her mommy's life, but this begs the question: Do you honestly carry into your back yard when you do work or garden? I don't. But if I knew there were dogs like this nearby and could become a threat to me (say if my back yard wasn't SECURED by a locked wrought iron gate as it is), I sure would. I would also warn my neighbor in a friendly neighborly fashion that if her dogs threaten me and mine, ever.... they are going to be dead dog meat.

Every Legacy Needs An Architect
How sports agent Lee Fentress got the job of memorializing Ted Kennedy.
Late this summer, work will begin on the Edward M. Kennedy Institute for the U.S. Senate. The vision for the $50 million facility includes a full-size replica of the Senate chamber, exhibitions honoring Senate history, even in-depth tutorials for incoming U.S. senators. Going up next to the JFK Library out on Columbia Point, the institute is an act of legacy-crafting on an epic scale, a push to elevate Ted Kennedy's to a plane ordinarily reserved for presidents, to show how he managed to break the surly bonds of the Senate and become something else altogether, something singular in impact and importance to his constituents and his country.
And the man behind it all is…the guy who used to rep former Celtics center Joe Kleine.
Meet Lee Fentress, chairman of the Kennedy Institute (to be fair, he also represented Rick Fox, David Robinson, and Len Bias). If you're surprised that a former sports agent is coordinating this heady project, you're not alone. "I'm really the last person to know why [Kennedy] asked me," says Fentress, with a degree of understatement you wouldn't expect to find in someone who paved the way for the likes of Scott Boras. "He knew I had just throttled back from my work, so I had spare time. We've known each other for a long time, we'd talked about a way to memorialize his years in the Senate, so he asked me to head it up."
Fentress has been a friend of the Kennedys in general, and of Ted Kennedy in particular, for decades. The two men played tennis together most mornings for 30 years, and the senator calls him "a lifelong friend," adding, "I've always valued his counsel." Frank Craighill, an old comrade and former business partner of Fentress's, notes the relationship has always been a close one. "He's spent a lot of time with Teddy, and Teddy feels a great deal of confidence in him," he says. And whether it's of equal or lesser importance than being a FOK, or Friend of Kennedys, Fentress also has political bona fides—unusual for a man in his line of work. ("Generally speaking, we didn't have too many political aficionados in the sports management business," quips Craighill.) Plus, this isn't the first Kennedy legacy he's helped tend.
After graduating from the University of Virginia Law School, Fentress, a Louisiana native, moved to DC to take a job as an assistant U.S. attorney, where he got to know Senator Bobby Kennedy. Fentress had expected to stay in the office just a few years, but his tenure proved even shorter when Bobby announced his candidacy for president in March 1968. "I resigned that afternoon," he says, and got on a plane and went to work for Bobby as an advance man. It was then that he met Ted. "In 1968 he was just evolving," Fentress says. "The focus had been on Robert, but people knew Ted had great political instincts."

Never Enough LyricsArtist: David WilcoxAlbum: Underneath .............................................. One man cruising on his ocean liner, One trying to keep his lifeboat afloat. One man trying to make his mansion finer, One trying to make his house trailer note. You give a guy a dollar in the parking lot, and he holds his hand out for what else you've got, 'cause there's never enough. No there's never enough. I mean even when I've got everything I need, I can tell myself times are tough. No there's never enough. See, my uncle Jon went to Reno. He won about a hundred grand. But he kept on trying to beat the casino, and he played it right out of his hand. So now he's back bettin' the ponies, and he's trying to get back on his luck, but there's never enough... [chorus] Let's say tomorrow you win the lotto, You got pockets so deep, you drown all the sorrow. You've got all the friends that money can buy, now you're wondering if there's one you can trust. 'cause there's never enough... [chorus] .............................................. 1999 Midnight Ocean Bonfire Music(ASCAP)/Cindy Lou My Dear (ASCAP) written with Gary Nicholson/Gary Nicholson Music (ASCAP) All Rights Reserved/International Copyright Secured

I am a massive fan of these,and so my advice is if you are a fan too then do not hesitate to buy this today!

3 Average at bestRetroX | 03/04/2010 | See all RetroX's reviews (1)Without JLS,Glee Cast, Under Pressure, One Time, the climb and ruin a great song for hati, disc 1 is orite, not bad but average and I guess representative of some chart hits (Harsh I suppose on JLS and more personal opinion but they are rubbish). The others can't be supported by chart positions even are just rubbish. Disc 2 is far superior and representative of few up coming artists (Ellie and Marina) some lesser known artists who have had some relatively big hits. Overall its good, but the utter drivel filler on the 1st disc just brings it down.
