Sure, but on the flip side the NBA can better ensure the Knicks get to draft Patrick Ewing and not some low-ratings team.
-
Yuck! That would of course put them in the exact same position they're in now. Actually worse, since you wouldn't be getting proportional talent back. Maybe their ambitions changed, since I'd read that when Cleveland called, the Bucks asked for Mobley and all their available picks. I guess I'll root for Orlando since Jonathan Isaac is my favorite non-Buck (Middleton doesn't count).

Oh man it's feeling a lot like December 15th. So close but you gotta have just a little more patience!- 18 replies

That's a clever thought. Though that's a lot of bench time for Ortiz/Hamilton, particularly when neither can be much relied on as a pinch hitter. Sure a lot thinner in the OF than they like, but maybe give Bauers near full-time status in the corner which would also reduce Mitchell/Frelick ABs with them sharing time at CF. Both would be fine with me.

I don't really understand how all the prospects would fit defensively. Isn't Pratt a little too big for SS and then it would be Made's to lose going forward? Do you pencil in Pratt-Made-Pena-Fischer at 3b-SS-2b-1b and Jett is kinda the super-util guy? To me it seems in infield is actually too deep prospect-wise and it all lines itself up nicely for a prospect-prospect trade of something like Pena+Gasser for a higher-end SP prospect to fill in those areas we're kind of thin at.

A lady in my brother's family is a retired fund manager and she got out of the market entirely a couple days ago. But of course everyone takes their guesses, granted she's made millions guessing correctly. Though at least maybe selling some tech stuff and buying more eggs and breakfast cereal could be a good hedge against a turn.
-
Well, and certainly players around the League pay attention to that sorta stuff, too. It's not like players are super eager to play in the cold of Green Bay, so especially when it comes to upcoming camp-cut FAs, here's an organization which'll pay you your million-dollar bonus even if it was pretty sure you wouldn't make the team.
-
There's also getting more of a true PG which the Bucks need whether Giannis is here or not.
-
He's said he loves Milwaukee and that he wants to pay for a contender. Nothing wrong with that. Ownership doesn't want to be the villains in booting Milwaukee's favorite player, so their out is "He didn't sign an extension so he had to go." And Giannis doesn't want to burn his bridge here, so he can say "I wanted to stay but they traded me." This is all just establishing the best possible PR for the inevitable trade. Sure would've loved to see him play his whole career in Milwaukee, but it makes sense as it is.
-
Some training competition would have made the most sense. Maybe he was mad about the pick and said something. But yeah, they've really been bungling the kicker situation for a good while now.
-
All else being equal, wouldn't Jett get first priority since there's room to play him across the infield? Wouldn't you hold Pratt back a little until you know he'd be able to get consistent time specifically at SS? Or is it wrong to assume that among the three that he's the top choice for SS? Or better to call up the guy on contract and hold Jett back a while to get Super 2 status?

Individual Over/Underperforming expectation
GAME05 replied to liveforoctober's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
I'm the same with Miz and I've been really happy. I figured he'd strike out 15 in 6 innings one outing and then give up 6 runs in the first inning the next. He's been way more consistent so far than I figured he would be. Sanchez has to be an overperform for as good as he's been against lefties so far. Last year he was somehow worse against L than R, so for him to be hitting well and adding 1b and DH duties is a big overperform. I expected a down year from Frelick, but yikes. But let's go ahead and mark Chourio up as "expected" since he's great and I see no reason he can't carry his current numbers through the rest of the season. -
Aren't rain chains found mainly in Spain?

What about some kind of sponge to deaden the sound? Or would placing anything at a 45 degree angle to where the drip hits also deaden the sound?
-
I didn't think VanNess' problem was getting to the QB but that he was so terrible against the run and that's why Enagbare was getting more time. Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't LVN always rush up way above the QB and open a T/G lane instead of forcing the RB to try and go more outside? Hasn't that always been the bigger issue as opposed to him making sacks?
-
We did laugh about that, too. "Just you and a sea of middle-aged lesbians."

$77 for nosebleed seats to a Melissa Ethridge concert is insane. My black co-worker had never heard of her, so we played him some music and he said it was pretty good and he kinda liked it. So we got a kick out of imagining him being at the concert, "Like a polar bear nose in a snowstorm."

Boy, gonna end up spending about $150 to get the materials to do a "Laundry in the 17th Century" program. It's the kind of big, convoluted program co-workers scoff at, especially since our programs tend to be more "Here's something about beavers." But I've come to be known for creative/interesting programs and I think maybe this will be fun to do. It involves horse hoof trimmings and chamber lye (old pee) which should hold some interest. Plus I get to say "woman's work" without getting yelled at this time.
-
But isn't there a value in being able to delay a resolution on the position by a year? $15M for a $9M player who might be better with more playing time still doesn't seem that bad compared to $20M for a same-production FA or having to play a bunch of 1st- and 2nd-year players who aren't ready.
-
I've wondered the same thing. I decided 3b goes to the guy with the most raw power and they just have him put on another 20 lbs of muscle. With trainers and dieticians these days that wouldn't be too much of an ask. But really I think one or two will end up either traded for two months of a playoff run, or traded to add the high-end pitching prospect we lack. I really don't like trading prospects for the playoffs, but trading prospect excess for thinner prospect needs makes sense.

To finally have more than 2mb internet, Spectrum can drill a hole in my house big enough for the tech to craw through, for all I care. Even my boss was suggesting I "definitely don't" poison the big oak trees in my yard so the State would have to pay for their removal and I would have a clearer sky for Starlink. Three more weeks to wait. People at church always ask what's new and I struggle to come up with new ways of saying "Nothing". But it's this. This is what I'm looking forward to. Totally unrelated, I'm taller than most and it's become a thing for me to always sit directly in front of the same older lady at church every single week. We both laugh and she hits me with the bulletin. I keep suggesting I might change churches because I don't much like this one, and she says "But you can't, because I wouldn't be there." It's coming to be my favorite part of the week. Her husband usually wears his Ray Nitschke jersey to service.

Moving 6ths and 7ths to get a guy they really like seems great to me. Usually we read these long write-ups about the guys after the draft and that's the last we ever read their names. The run-stopper DL we got seems like he'll be a nice compliment to free up Wyatt to rush the passer more often. Really impressive work from LouisEly yet again. And that you have the ability to match up picks with how they fit the Packers' schemes is a really great addition.
-
Dexter Lawrence traded to the Bengals for at least the 10th overall pick. Great move for the Bengals.
-
Pratt? Isn't Jett the most logical next guy up? Plus if they're willing to move Jett around his rookie year, he'd be a big help making up for some of our outfield absences, too. Add in Jett's versatility would mean a little more playing time for Rengifo/Hamilton, which I sure wouldn't mind, plus I'd prefer them to Perkins/Jones/Matos. Or is this just a temporary thing and once Chourio/Yelich/Vaughn come back, the -offense/+defense of Ortiz is a lot more tolerable?
-
These are always great. Every year I never bother reading analysts because your reviews are always better. And I suspect if we went back, more accurate, too.
