    Was just coming here to post his release. Alas, I was so happy to see you had beat me to it adorning it with those informational tidbits that you do so darn well. I wish him the best moving forward. He showed signs of an effective relief pitcher last year. I sincerely hope he pulls it together.

    Awesome stuff. Thanks for showing us the landscape.
  4. Joseph Zarr
    Yeah, these current placements have me all sorts of unnecessarily giddy. Let's hope it carries over.

    I almost included Raabe in my own lists. He's a really solid role player who you know is going to do everything fundamentally sound, Everything you discuss there is accurate - he will need to tap into some form of gapper or XBH potential to carve a better niche for himself in the organization. I really would like him to get opportunities as the regular lead-off bat in 2023 - off the top of my head, I felt like that was an under-utilized part of his game last season. Very exciting Tier 1 list there. I am excited to see all these guys in action and give you the low downs in my reports ☺️

    Yeoman's work completing all these write-ups! Well done! If we are talking left fielders in Wisconsin, we have to include Carlos Rodriguez in that mix. He was playing the best baseball of his career as the starting left fielder before his ACL tear. If and when he is healthy again, every player listed is highly likely his back-up. Additionally, Eduarqui Fernandez more than made a name for himself late last year in Zebulon. I anticipate he'll continue to see split duties between CF and LF amongst a very talented crop of OF'ers. I personally don't see a way Perez starts his season anywhere other than Carolina's outfield grass given he's still 19 and struggled to find any consistency in 2022. Then again, if I pay attention to Minor League ST lineups, I might be entirely off base. Regardless, the greater group of Castillo, Avina, Fernandez, Perez, and Mendez is an extremely exciting and entertaining group. It's simply a hard proposition to imagine these talented but very young players heading North with the Lamar Sparks signing and Je'Von Ward's return. The organization also seems to covet Reidy Mercado in a manner similar to Terence Doston. It's going to be fun seeing how the rosters take shape to begin 2023!

    AND, adding to this Loop: As per MiLB transactions, 1B/DH Luke Voit was officially released by the Nashville Sounds but it would appear there is more to what's going on: Stay tuned... Update: (3/19) The released transaction has been removed as from the transaction ledger as of today. It would appear the Brewers are trying to find a way to get Voit on their roster in the coming week.

    Young. Very fast. Can play Safety or CB(ish). Seems like a classic Packers pick-up.

    The general consensus among draft pundits and draft talking heads is the 2024 draft is quite a bit more talented than the upcoming 2023 draft. To that end, it would seem a focus on 2024 compensation with a 13-to-15 swap would possibly even be ideal?

    Oh my word I am looking forward to more and more of these abominations. This is truly a match made in heaven:

    The Rays have officially selected the contract of RHP Trevor Kelley. As the article notes, he has an option remaining so he won't be exposed to waivers. This is good news for the long-time highly successful Minor League reliever. Hopefully, he can make it work at the MLB level in 2023. Wishing him all the best!

    This is exactly what we as fans 'should' recognize and embrace. No need to hurry this unless the Packers get what they want. Worst case scenario is it falls apart and A-Rod retires. The Jets suffer widespread humiliation. Packers suffer a loss of some possible draft assets. We have the leverage.
  13. Joseph Zarr
    The Packers absolutely could and should play that hardball. This is a business. IF they don't give you your desired compensation now...why the heck would you not hold firm until after June 1st? They already signed Alan Lazard. Worst happens is you lose out on some compensation but you already have to pay. I personally think they should hold firm. If it falls apart, it's way worse for the New York media market. Packers can take the hit.
  14. Joseph Zarr
    Exactly. I think all he is literally saying is: Tell the player exactly how you feel before you move on. Put a human quality to the business decision.
  15. Joseph Zarr
    Please no. Good gracious. 🤣 In all seriousness, I imagine the Jets want to cling to that: A Rod is Wilson's hero maybe he can actually develop with a HOF mentor?
  16. Joseph Zarr
    It's the J Love era. LET'S GO!!!!!!
  17. Joseph Zarr
    Well, A Rod did talk to the Universe laughing...this would again be an example. 😂
  18. Joseph Zarr
    Agreed. He's just being honest. The Packers still struggle with direct communication. He's also shared: he shares no animosity. There's no agenda here. He's being honest. Just look at how Mark Murphy handled this. It isn't a stretch. At all.
  19. Joseph Zarr
    Man, A Rod is so classy in this. Really. Excited to watch him play for the Jets in 2023/24
  20. Joseph Zarr
    Once again: Everything Trey Wingo treated about a Rodgers situation was entirely 100% accurate. And, it is apparent, the Packers still suffer from Upper Midwest passive aggressive communication (or, let's be honest: no direct communication) when releasing or moving on from their vets. A Rod is being completely honest and candid but cordial. It's all about compensation at this point. Again, as Wingo alluded to. The man is in the know.

    That was as big a road win in preparation for the Playoffs as you are going to see. Hell of a win (@ Sacto). We don't have an NBA thread outside the Bucks so I'm just going to put this here. I love Dame in so many ways. This interview is an absolute must watch for anyone who follows the NBA at large or professional sports. He's a treasure. My only sadness is he and Giannis were never a pairing on the same squad: (the full 8 minute or so interview segment is directly below in first comments)

    I really hope Love has a solid first season at the helm. Given how he's handled his role within the organization and the roster, it's hard not to root for the young man. He's been the epitome of professional. He's obviously worked extremely hard at his craft. I am really rooting for a surprise performance that puts to rest all the doubters. After all the heartaches with Rodgers at the helm, as a fan, I am simply ready for a fresh slate. Come hell or high water.

    Well, the Packers in general don't like to trade draft picks - this was a freebie pick from the Toney trade. The Packers also tried, and failed, to acquire Waller in the Davante Adams trade. My guess is that ship had sailed and, honestly, Waller hasn't been healthy in any capacity in at least two seasons? He isn't getting younger. When he's healthy, he is obviously quite a talent but he's going to be on the wrong side of 30 when he turns 31 this September. A likable and sensible acquisition given how the Giants got him. For the Packers, I guess we could always just say: they can't draft in the 3rd round? Anywho, we can probably anticipate the Pack targeting the wealth of quality TE's in this draft class. TE's typically develop slower than other positions but the Packers are in a rebuild mode anyhow. Edited to add: AND, sometimes a team simply doesn't want to do the deal
