The Ravens are the NFL's philosophical kings of the "bites at the apple" approach. Case in point - they by far lead the league in the number of compensation draft picks rewarded through the loss of free agents the last 20 years. It wouldn't really surprise me at all if they felt that they have reached their ceiling with Jackson as the starting QB, and would take picks and start over at the position, rather than hand Jackson a cap-crippling contract.

Maybe Wiemer sees his first action in CF today? Anderson in RF, Brosseau at 3B, Miller at 2B and Voit at 1B? No idea who would DH with that lineup though. -
I think the Packers have a set value on Rodgers, and they aren't willing to budge. As is their right. The Packers have both their chosen 2023 QB in Love, and a valuable commodity in Rodgers. I believe that the contract is SO bad because the Packers had to give in to Rodgers for him to agree to a multi-year deal instead of just going year-to-year and becoming a free agent. I think it was always the intention to deal him this offseason (actually I think there were people in the building that wanted to deal him LAST offseason, but Murphy stepped in and stopped it). I think it is obvious by this point that the Packers and Jets both know what the Packers are asking for in a trade. The Jets are simply dragging their feet, because they are concerned about the optics of "winning" the trade. From what I've heard of Joe Douglas, he's is kind of egotistical douche, so it makes perfect sense that he's trying to strongarm Gute. But the Packers hold more cards here. Yes, 2023 draft compensation would be nice, but if the Jets continue to drag their feet, the Packers can continue to let Rodgers sit until the end of August. And who knows what other interest might surface by then? All I know is that the Jets fanbase is getting antsy (after thinking for weeks they were getting Rodgers for the same package they got Favre for), and as a Packer fan, it's pretty exciting.

It's WAY early, and the sample is extremely small, but if Anderson maintains this sort of production, he'd be a no-brainer qualifying offer candidate.

I willingly concede that I have always been, and likely always will be an eternal optimist. That includes having faith in this team's ownership and front office to make the decisions that will lead to the team remaining competitive both now and in the future. They've made moves I've disagreed with over the years, and I haven't been afraid to show my disappointment in those. If that makes me a "yes man", I guess guilty as charged.

Where does Sal Frelick fit?

You have four young, uber-talented OFers for three spots. Plus Yelich, who isn't going anywhere, and is still decent in the OF. I think one of the young'uns gets dealt. Perhaps at this year's deadline. But it will be for a big name. -
That was me. Sorry. Just trying to keep expectations tempered.

When healthy, Wade Miley has been an above average to very good starting pitcher the last several years. The nagging-type injuries have been what has held him back. But by all accounts, he made it through Spring Training fine, and is entering the season in good health. He's a veteran, stabilizing presence. Not a bad guy at all to have as a 5th starter.

Trolls gonna troll ...

The kids will struggle this year. It happens to all of them. But right now this is pretty great.
-
Really excited to see the kids get the run right now. I'd feel bad for Tyrone taylor, but part of me kind of hopes he's Wally Pipp'd

Should have kept hiura

Depends on how Winker and Voit are faring at the MLB level. Even still, it's going to come down to more than just numbers for Keston. He needs to revamp his approach if he wants to make an MLB impact. Because if his K rate continues to hover at 40%, he's destined to be a AAAA type. -
Not necessarily. If they view Urias's injury as a short-term thing, it's doesn't really make a ton of sense to call up one of the blue-chippers. Better off just calling up a guy already on the 40-man who can be optioned, like Toro or Perkins, if we are only talking two weeks. If we are talking a month or more, though, then inserting a power RH bat like Wiemer's to take the place of Urias's RH power makes a lot of sense.
-
Winker would be easy enough to jettison. Yelich isn't going anywhere.
-
Something tells me dealing with Dansby Swanson is going to be a chore for the next few seasons.
-
Isn't Yan Gomes supposed to be a defensive specialist?
-
Well that was a very needed quick inning for Burnes. Now let see a few timely hits.
-
Crappy defense combined with last year's typical non-clutch hitting. This is the exact kind of baseball that made this team virtually unwatchable by August of last year.
-
When it is close to the plate, it's a meatball.
-
Gonna be a long season if Burnes can't throw strikes.
-
To be fair, if Burnes doesn't nibble against a strikeout-prone .200 hitter in Patrick Wisdom, that doesn't happen. Leadoff walks = death
-
Here we were worried about the outfield defense. Sheesh!
-
So much for trying to create more offense.
-
Slowest hitter in the lineup grounds into a DP with the bases loaded. Because of course he does.
