  1. Not enough room on the AAA roster I believe.
  2. Caroline's, Tacos Calafia and Taco Boys are better like one million times better. Mmmmm Tacos Calafia mmmmmmmmm Nachos Al Pastor or Vampiro Al Pastor. If you are in Tempe, Surprise, Tolleson or in Downtown Phoenix you have to go. If you want a good bite to eat before leaving and you are dropping off a rental go to WTFexp. It is near the drop off for rental cars by Buckeye and 10th st. They have really good sandwiches, burgers, fish and wings. Pro tip take Buckeye if you are dropping off your rental it is far easier to navigate than the 10 or 17. https://wtfexp.com/
  3. Kids singing the national anthem with no training. OMG that was just horrible for the Bucks Kings game. I wanted to put sharp objects into my ears. Would have been better to have a dog and a dying cat doing the anthem than that.
  4. Sigh can we not bump an almost 5-year old thread just to post a retirement tweet?
  5. I haven’t found anything spring training related for restaurants. Wouldn’t really be a good business model. It really depends on what type of food you like. Carolina’s is a good Mexican restaurant. Otherwise there is Mercado de los Cielos, La Pasadita hotdogs and Presto Pizza and Wings (not my favorite).
  6. I think both Hiura and Naquin have played themselves out of the OD roster. I think the Brewers will try and keep one but not both. I think it will be Hiura but I believe the Brewers will try and sneak them through and DFA both. Whoever doesn't get picked up stays which maybe both. I think Hiura will start in AAA and won't make the OD roster. The Brewers will still be on the hook for the $2m but he won't be on the OD roster unless there is an injury or two.
  7. It is definitely a guaranteed deal per the new CBA. If they release Hiura they will have to pay the $2m.
  8. Just because they are drafted early doesn’t mean they are great or really good QB’s. All of the QB’s in this draft have warts and a lot of them. Also I don’t see why how many QB’s are drafted in the first 9 picks has anything to do with this being a strong defense group.
  9. Correct you could see a 6 or 7 win team winning that division. I think the Saints have improved the most so far but they are still over the cap by $24m. The Falcons could improve a lot more as they have $63m in cap space while the Panthers only have $24m left in cap space. There is not much the Panthers will be able to do to improve all that much. Offensively the Panthers look bad really bad for '24. Unless there is a Peyton Manning in this draft I just don't see how the Panthers will improve on the team they had last year. It is asking a lot for a rookie QB to come in and be that main factor and I just don't see the Panthers improving beyond what they were last year and it is possible they regress some with a rookie QB starting and having absolutely no one to throw to or to hand off to.
  10. There isn't a QB in this draft that is going to give the Panthers a +2 win differential. They are probably a top 10 pick team again in '24 so the Bears will get another top 10 pick and I wouldn't be surprised if the Panthers are a 1-5 pick next year. The way that team is currently constructed they look to be a 1-3 type pick in '24. The Bears still have $75m in cap space left after getting Moore. The Bears were trying to find another WR to add to the team and they found one in Moore. The Bears actually have a really good receiving core now with Moore. Drafting a rookie WR is not a sure thing and normally you are looking at poor production for the majority of their first year. With the addition of Moore it basically allows the Bears to focus on the OL and defense in the draft. Defensively this is a really good draft so the Bears could get a bunch of starting talent on the defensive side of the ball. A quick edit the Bears also believe Tyree Wilson will be available at the #9 pick and that is who they have fallen in love with in the draft. Tyree Wilson is basically their #3 guy that they want and they believe he will be available at the #9 pick.
  11. The Padres don't really have enough prospect capital for a Burnes trade to work even with Merrill. For Woodruff a Merrill plus another prospect or two works but not for Burnes.
  12. I was fully expecting the Bears to trade the #1 pick for Henry and a future 2nd. Glad I was wrong.
  13. Their TV or radio team hatred of Mike Cameron and the untucking was just weird and dumb.
  14. A lot of lost production for the Dodgers. Will they be able to replace T. Turner’s production? Will Kershaw still be that #1 type pitcher as he ages? Is Walker healthy? Will their pitching hold throughout the year? I think this years team for the Dodgers is a step back from where they were previously. This maybe one of the teams that doesn’t make the playoffs from last year.
  15. Maybe but I would think the Dolphins and Raiders would also be interested? Would make sense for the Packers to see if Rodgers would prefer to play there also. Would probably increase Rodgers trade value a bit.
  16. Linked this in the spring training game but will link here also. https://www.mlb.com/news/jackson-chourio-shines-on-offense-defense-in-spring-debut?
  17. https://apple.news/AEY8BEwVUSsi9RDCvHtPCKg
  18. What I don’t get is why they even did it? But I guess it makes sense now as they are tearing things down. Still they could have done it this offseason and probably would be better off if they did.
  19. I live in Phoenix so was going to go to the game.
  20. Dang it just my luck was going to take today off to watch this game. Ugggg why?
  21. I have this fear that the Bears will do something stupid and trade for Henry. It is like a never ending cycle with this team. One step forward one thousand steps back.
  22. But they traded Brown last year and now Henry this year. Maybe it is to get under the cap because the QB they have is not that good? After Henry they don't really have anything left so it looks like they are doing a rebuild. I believe the next one to be released will be Tannehill but that won't come until June of next year as it would only be a $4.6m cap hit if they trade or cut him post June 1st.
  23. In the scenario that was presented it was the player retires and then unretires not the player threatening to retire.
  24. It's these types of risks that the Brewers have to take. Even if the Brewers signed Hiura to something like what Albies or Acuna got that is still a lot lower than what Yelich got or any of the recent free agents or what Adames, Burnes or Woodruff will get. You have to take some risk and the risk of losing $$$ is far lower with signing these early extensions for players like Chourio, Mitchell, Frelick and others.
  25. What would the league do? They really wouldn’t do anything and if they did they would have an issue with the NFLPA and the owners. Basically it would be the NFL telling the Packers sorry about your situation but get under the cap or face consequences.
