But a 4th-7th round pick? I think he is closer to an early 2nd or late 1st than he is to a 4th-7th that I have seen floating around. There have been players who played great in the cape and did nothing after being drafted. The Brewers have drafted a few of those players in the past. The Cape is a good barometer for players but in no way am I taking that as anything more than another data point. He may have just slumped through the Cape that summer or just hit into bad luck.
Am I overvaluing Rintaro Sasaki? Yes he is probably a 1B/DH but he is putting up some good numbers at Stanford this year. Currently slashing .271/.416/.607.
Some have him as a 4th-7th round pick. Which is making me question my ranking on him. I think he is more of a late first or 1a or early second round pick. He doesn’t have the traits the Brewers look for so I don’t believe the Brewers pick him. Still he looks to be a Prince Fielder type with the bat.
I don’t get this trade at all. Bills trade 31, 66 and 101 and receive 35, 69 and 165. Each of the picks they received are worse than what they gave up. The 31-35 makes sense. The others don’t make any sense at all.
It’s early in the season. The plan is to have Sproat available later in the year. So innings and pitch limits are in place now so he can be available in September and later. Otherwise he is going to turn into Manny Parra and be done by August.
Pena is a SS and most SS’s don’t come on the market all that often. There would be a bidding war where the Brewers if they were interested would need to use a Made plus offer to beat out other offers. The Brewers wouldn’t do this but there would be some serious competition for Pena if he became available.
This is not a Pena is worth this type of a package more of the demand he would create would be worth that much.
The NIL has been bad because the schools have made it bad. It is like the ones making the decisions about the NIL money have never managed anything before and are just theoretical thinkers. This is not rocket science here this shouldn’t be all that difficult to figure out.
Pena would be a very expensive get prospect wise. You are looking at a possible Made and another piece type of deal. I don’t see the Brewers doing that kind of trade.
If Pena were to be made available on the trade market the Astros would have their pick of elite talent. You may have to overpay to get him so more than Made and another piece.
There was what one horrible tragedy and then another caused by a tsunami? As far as safety goes nuclear has had less safety issues than any other type of power plant.
I think Ham or whoever as HC for the Bucks will be fine if no Giannis. Looking for a HC right now shouldn’t be the main focus. Whoever is picked will just be a temporary HC until one is actually needed.
If Giannis is returning then the Bucks are going to be the same as they are now. I am not sure there is a HC out there that will improve the team.
I agree with the more muscle to his frame and he would be a better 3B.
I have only seen Made in spring training and he didn’t look all that good defensively at SS. He kind of reminds me of Oneil Cruz defensively. I think Made would be a better 2B or CF defensively.
The last time I looked the US was already getting 20% of its power from renewables. The sweet spot is somewhere around 25-30 percent. I would rather see nuclear jump past 20% which maybe possible with the nano nuclear plants coming online soon.
I just don’t see renewables being a good idea as being the main source of energy. Nuclear should really be 40 percent or higher. Then you split the rest with natural gas and renewables. Probably a 30-30 split then gradually reducing to a 40-20 split in favor of renewables.
Ideally you would want nuclear at 60 percent and then 30 percent renewables and the final 10 percent natural gas. Economically this makes the most sense and environmentally it is far better.
From what I have read other NBA GM’s believe the Bucks overpaid for Turner. His contract is over inflated and if he were a FA today he wouldn’t get close to what he is getting now.
I think Giannis is going to either the Heat or Warriors. The Heat make the most sense and are the easiest to trade with in terms of salary. If you believe the rumors that the Heat offered Herro and or Ware plus picks for Giannis at the deadline that is probably the best bet on where Giannis will be traded to. So 4 first rounders plus Herro from Miami for Giannis.
Turner is probably the hardest to trade as I don’t believe he has much value with that contract. If the Bucks get an expiring plus a 2nd round pick or a top 15 protected pick they would be extremely lucky.
