    I don't. Frelick has been excellent. Taylor is decent. Wiemer's D is minimally better given the gap in his offense at this point.

    Cincinnati and Cleveland clean up on waiver grabs. Will be interesting how it impacts the Brewers and Twins. Especially Cleveland as they seemed to improve the most, IMO.
  3. CheezWizHed
    Mike Clevinger did also. Would be a great grab to fill Houser's spot... but I wonder if he goes back to Cleveland? https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/mlb-waiver-claims-yankees-harrison-bader-scooped-up-by-reds-lucas-giolito-lands-back-in-al-central/

    I tend to think the risk of Black going from AA to AAA (and being meh) to MLB is too high for the Brewers to risk adding Black to the 40-man roster now (starting his arby countdown, etc..). I'm guessing they wait until they are reasonably sure he can contribute at the MLB level. I'd guess Toro would come up before Black.

    FWIW, this would be a different situation than Hader's trade. There is a period of mourning for a loss of someone so integral to the team. I think the team chemistry is strong to withstand bringing in someone that isn't a great teammate. Those are very different situations. Not saying we should tempt fate and bring him in... he is injury prone, old and not hitting well... just saying that this doesn't compare to the "team chemistry" struggles of last year.

    I seem to remember some grumbling about him with the Twins (after the FA signing honeymoon wore off of course) here in MN on the sports broadcasts... To the tune of lockerroom issues, but I don't recall anything specific. Maybe @Brock Beauchamp remembers more?
  7. CheezWizHed
    They probably need to wait until the waiver claims are awarded too.
  8. CheezWizHed
    When do they announce where the players are going?
  9. CheezWizHed
    Sorry to hear that @LouisEly. But doesn't it make it easier to find an in-office job then? Well unless you are looking for a SW engineering director level position, we won't be competing. 😉

    The wind had a lot to do with it yesterday. There were several balls that would've been homers yesterday, but died at the track or on the wall. Hendricks had his "A" changeup and control today... he is always tough when he can do that.
  11. CheezWizHed
    They are going to have to hit good pitchers no matter who they draw...

    Yes, all of the international players assigned to teams have an exemption to keep those players. All 16 players were with the Packers during training camp but released during final cutdowns on Tuesday. One of the 16 players was Kenneth Odumegwu, an International Player Pathway participant who gets a practice squad exemption, so the Packers still have one open spot.

    I missed Wicks injury, but can we do that on a waiver claim? (i.e. doesn't a waiver claim "hit" the roster before you can put players on IR? I'm kind of hoping for Leavitt. Zero help on defense and only getting older (29). I don't have much hope for Carpenter on D, but at least he has time to develop yet.
  14. CheezWizHed
    Now highlight the misses. 😝😂
  15. CheezWizHed
    Packers claim TE Ben Sims and S Zayne Anderson. So who leaves now? Safety: I can't see them rostering 6 safeties. Is this the end for Leavitt? Anderson is another ST guru. Or perhaps Owens? TE: I'd think the most likely candidates here would be to come down to 9 OL (assuming Tenuta goes on the DL for our LS to resign) or 6 DL. So perhaps Ford or Newman? Perhaps they decided that Deguara didn't bring enough and are willing to part with him despite the extreme lack of experience at TE on the team?
  16. CheezWizHed
    13 players drafted/UDFA from 2022 + 15 rookies = 53% of the roster is from the last 2 years. Bakh became the most experienced player with 11 years. Preston Smith has been on the defensive side with 9 years.

    I've been in soft-search mode for a while. I've been a first level people leader for a long time. My hiring manager was grooming me for his replacement, but then they reorged his position from existence. Since then, the response I get at the next level is that "you only know software engineering and we need people that can manage more things." Despite having an Electrical Engineering degree and several key moments of problem solving in the factory (on products that I don't even know) to show proof that I know much more than just "software engineering". My company seems to only promote people that have been here their entire careers. Being in software development, my team rarely needs to be in the office (we request them now to be in 1x/week for team meetings and whenever they need to be on a test station or other reason). But corporate mandate is a blanket statement for return to the office. I've laid out a plan for people to be in the office 2-3x/week and we will see how that goes. But I have a lead on a job nearby that has several former employees from my current job. One just made a recommendation for me on a director level position. The team is spread around the country, so inherently, they don't have as much reason to be in the office.

    My hat is in the ring. I've taken my job as far as I can... tried to step up at my own company (only to be pigeon-holed to "software engineering only") and am now fed up with the company's response to "return to the office"... time to try outside the company.

    2049 is the end of the world! Or maybe just the end of organized baseball? The oracle has spoken!

    Facebook "suggested" a post from a Cardinal fan commenting on Wainwrights' 8+ ERA this year. I had so many delicious troll comments I felt like making: Is this the Cardinal way? Stay Classy! Isn't there an unwritten rule about this? Untuckem'! But I went with: How will Chris Carpenter explain this to his son??? And now I wait (or maybe I was banned already?)...
  21. CheezWizHed
    Agreed. I overstated it with "I'm guessing that we won't see him much early in the season unless there is a blowout." I think it will be much like Gary's first year. And I could remembering the time poorly on setting the edge. I know there was a number of games when he was poor at it and nearly benched because we were getting run on regularly.
  22. CheezWizHed
    So, we both list him 4th on the depth chart, but you didn't bury him as deep as I did? 😂 By the way, I don't list Hollins 3rd because I think he is better, but just by how the Packers seem to play them. Hollins plays a few snaps with the preseason starters with LVN. LVN stays in while Engabare replaces Hollins. Then LVN eventually steps out and Engabare remains. I should clarify that I think LVN will get snaps in the rotation. But I see them giving him the Gary treatment where it is limited. But I think LVN will hold the edge as a rookie better than Gary, which I think was his major issue with getting more snaps.
  23. CheezWizHed
    Production wise, I'd say he is about the same as Gary during his first year. He seems to be in the right place defensively (which Gary struggled with early), good hustle, he just isn't making any splash plays. By judging where he plays in preseason games, he seems to be about 4th in the rotation... Gary, Smith, Hollins, LVN, and Engabare even though Engabare makes more splash plays and similarly has a good grasp of the D, holds the edges, etc... I'm guessing that we won't see him much early in the season unless there is a blowout.

    I'm not sure the state of NFL punters, but I doubt O'Donnell sits idle very long. He was a very solid punter I would say this is more about picking a younger player for the future (and perhaps $$) than it was about O'Donnell's punting ability. I think the early release was evidence that they were giving every other team some notice before final cuts to claim him. So with rookie K and P this year, you could say our kicking situation was just rebooted!

    If you aren't getting laughs with Dad jokes, get better friends! 😂
