Game 5: Packers @ Raiders - Monday, October 9th 7:15 PM
nate82 replied to OldHeidelberg's topic in Other Sports
I still say Love is closer to Cutler. Some said this was incorrect and he would be better than Cutler. But I stand by what I said a few years ago Love is Cutler. Nearly the exact same QB. -
I think this might work for a 2024 soft rebuild: Braves get Adames Brewers get Grissom and Alvarez (3B) Padres get Burnes Brewers get Snelling (LHP), Zavala (OF) and Lizarraga (RHP) Rangers get Williams Brewers get Foscue (2B), Leiter and Echedry Vargas (2B/SS) In the Braves trade Grissom becomes the 2B for the Brewers in '24 moving Turang over to SS with an exciting 3B prospect in Alvarez in A ball. In the Padres trade the Brewers get a really good LHP who can start for the Brewers in '25 with an exciting 19 year old OF in A+ ball. Lizarraga maybe the best piece coming back. In the Rangers trade the Brewers are getting insurance in case Grissom doesn't pan out at 2B in Foscue. Leiter maybe the name piece but I have him going to the Brewers as I think they will think they can fix him with their pitching lab and get him back to what he was coming out of Vanderbilt. Vargas is a wild card here he could be really good or he may just be all hype with the bat. If the Brewers can fix Leiter that could give them a rotation in '25 of Peralta, Gasser, Rodriguez, Misio, Leiter and Snelling. With Lizarraga possibly in AA or AAA. Offensively Foscue is probably the more complete player and he is a really good bat to ball hitter with some pop 20+ HR's a year type of power. These trades would be for the '25-'26 seasons.

Crude did jump over 4% today. Which depending on future actions in the area could make it jump higher. The market may correct itself if all out war occurs in the Middle East.

Not sure where to put this but flag football is a possibility as an Olympic game for the 2028 Olympics along with cricket and lacrosse. I would love to see lacrosse but I’m not holding my breath on that one. Flag football would be interesting.

I would love to see two more teams in the playoffs plus adding a one game playoffs for the draft order. The first 8 picks would be up for grabs with reverse standings order. The worst team in MLB getting the 1 seed etc. The final game for the #1 pick would be at a neutral site rotating around teams with domed or retractable roof stadiums. So Milwaukee, Houston, Phoenix, etc. would host the games kind of like a SB rotation. No 40 man requirements and participation in the games doesn’t count towards service time. max roster size of 30. If the MVP is a top 100 or former top 100 prospect within 1-year of the end of the season then that team gets an additional pick after comp B picks or $500k in international bonus money. Only revenue receiving teams and teams not over the spending cap at the beginning of the season can participate in this tournament.
-
Not going to happen. If they make a change it will be adding more teams to the playoffs not less.
-
Is this still a huge assumption that the Panthers will be a top 10 draft pick in ‘24?
-
The 49ers look to be the best team in the NFC by a wide margin.
-
Game 1 in a best of five is the most crucial game for the away team. If you can win that and game three the odds are now in favor of the away team. Lose game one then game two and three are must wins for the away team.
-
No thanks on Lux. He will be in Arb1 for the '24 season so only two more seasons after that. Also he isn't really a SS as he is not that great there defensively and he is more of a 2B. I would rather get someone else than Lux. Something like Knack, Frasso and De Paula would be what I would be looking at from the Dodgers. That would be two starters who could be on the roster in '24 and a young slugging OF in A ball.
-
Turang would be fine and Arcia and Lux are not someone I would want back in any trade especially for Adames. Turang future wise will be better than Arcia so not sure why you would want Arcia coming back at all. Arcia had a better offensive year this year but I wouldn't count on that to continue. Defensively Turang is about as good as what Arcia was advertised as being. I would be fine with Turang as the Brewers starting SS as long as he is in the #9 or #8 spot in the lineup his offense would just be a bonus. Plus Lux only has 3 more years of control. Not someone the Brewers should be trading for and who knows if Lux will even be the same player he was when he comes back from his injury. He may only be a 2B only with the torn ACL or he will have to move over to 3B so even if the Brewers got Lux back in a trade for Adames Turang is still the SS.
-
Going to be a rough day for the markets on Monday with what happened in Israel today. Hopefully it doesn't spread to Lebanon but that area could have a larger impact on an already stressed part of the world.
-
If Notre Dame has another disappointing finish this year do they fire their HC and go with JL?
-
Would rather deal them separately and get the best prospects possible. Burnes to the Dodgers and then Adames to the Braves.
-
The hitting coach is going to have about 0% impact on what you are talking about at least at the MLB level. Once a player gets to the MLB level the hitting coach won’t be messing with a hitters stance unless it is in the off season and they need work.
-
I think Adames to the Braves for Grissom and Ignacio Alvarez makes some sense here for the Braves and Brewers. The Braves have soured a bit on Grissom. I wonder if he would be better defensively at 2B over SS. Turang at SS and Grissom at 2B should be a good inf for the Brewers defensively if Grissom can play a competent defense at 2B. The best player IMHO coming back is Alvarez. I don’t believe the Braves have the prospects to get Burnes so I don’t think the Brewers include him in the deal.
-
Shoulder injuries tend to end careers for pitchers. It is possible he never fully recovers. Do you take about $1m less for ‘24 and receive a guaranteed $10m in ‘25 or risk it for nothing? If he doesn’t fully comeback from the shoulder injury he is not getting anywhere close to $10m.
-
I think the Brewers may just offer Woodruff a 2-year extension depending on medicals instead of offering him arbitration. It would allow them to bring him along slowly and at a lower amount per year. Something like 2-years $20m extension instead of the arbitration number. The Brewers kept Hiura this year so I am not sure Tellez getting that much would be a non-tender. Laurer and Toro will definitely be non tendered.

The people that cover the Bears on The Athletic said the same thing with the caveat that if he truly doesn't want to play in Chicago it is basically just a Eli Manning situation. The Bears could actually benefit from that. I am not sold on Caleb Williams being that Peyton Manning or Joe Burrow type of QB. I think it will take him longer to adapt to the NFL and it won't be as quick as like Manning and Burrow adapted to the league. The Bears are definitely taking another OL in the 1st round either with their pick or the Panthers pick. Even if they draft Williams #1 they should get enough offers where they could move down from their other pick and get a good OL. The Patriots are probably a team that may move up to get that other QB to replace who they have now. I am not sure Maye is worth the #2 pick but someone who would want to draft Harrison Jr. at the #2 spot is also another option.
-
Well at least we lost against the team going to the WS for the NL.
-
There has been rumors of this but also rumors to the contrary. It probably just becomes a Eli Manning situation. I think the Bears give Fields one more year but I don't think they should but they will. If the Bears get the #1 and #2 I wouldn't be surprised if they trade one or both. They should get a haul for one of their first round picks in the next draft even if Williams doesn't want to play for Chicago that pick will still be valuable as there will be a bunch of teams that will want to trade up for him. The Bears so far look like they will get the #1 pick. I think the Raiders are better than their record is and they will be back in the 10-15 range. The Cardinals will have two picks in the 1st round also and if they don't believe Murray is going to be able to come back the Bears could receive two 5-15 picks from them along with probably the Cardinals 2nd round pick. There is still a lot of the season left so still a lot of things that could happen between now and the end of the season.
-
I hope so I want the 1st and 2nd pick in the draft!!!
-
I actually think Vogt is #1 for the Mets and not CC because the Mets are going to have to go through a rebuild a bit.
-
That wouldn't even be the highest paid MLB manager as it would be about 500k less than what Roberts is being paid.
-
I think the Blue Jays are going to fire their manager. This is going to be the most attractive job in MLB this is basically the perfect landing spot for Counsell he won't have to go through a rebuild with the Mets and Blue Jays will pay for someone like CC. If it would be hard for CC to turn down a lot of money from the Mets how difficult would it be for CC to turn down a lot of money and have a WS talented team in the Blue Jays?
