    I’m still crying (not because I just spent $350 on Fanatics). I remember praying for win 63 so we wouldn’t lose 100. I love this team so much. I think I’ve been on this site since ‘04, I never post anymore, but my God we won!!!

    Does Miller Park get credited with the save??

    Counsell said as much before the series. Not sure if it was mentioned here but he stated they are not chasing a 100 win team, they’re worried about securing the top wild card.

    Most trades have the chance to be Larry Anderson for Jeff Bagwell. I remember the consternation over losing LaPorta, Brinson, Harrison, and Diaz. (I know different trades) I remermber being excited about Jose Capellan and having a 100 mph fireballer. (That could have gone better) If May and Romero contribute to a ring, I don't care what we gave up. If they stink, it'll give us something to complain about for years. The system is so good that giving up 11&13 is painful. That's a positive. Hope we still trade for a bat.

    I saw that CC posted that his son has signed, no details yet.

    Lavert shouldn’t decent minutes on this team. I’m not mad that AJ is back either, he had moments learning on the Wiz.

    Gotta say, never heard of the 60th pick. International 3 and D guy. Maybe a draft and stash

    I'm at my keyboard now, rather than my phone...so I'll give expanded thoughts. In the lottery, i think you need to draft guys with one distinguished skill, at least. Burries is a good defender and scorer, I can see his game translating to the NBA. Ament is the right size. He's not a finisher, he's not overly athletic, he didn't shoot well. I know he has pedigree, but I don't see that one loud skill. Heck, I'd have rather had Reed from UCONN, he can rebound. Too many of those guys wash out. No one can predict what he'll be at this point, but his need to improve his body and learn basketball in a short period of time concerns me. As far as the ceiling/floor argument. I think most solid teams are built by finding high floor guys. Super stars are unicorns...Giannis was a lucky find where he was picked. Typically you find your superstars in the first 5 picks of the draft. The key is then not wasting picks on chasing unicorns. It's finding rotation players who can be useful, or be useful trade pieces. NBA develops at a rate faster than MLB, you don't get years to find yourself. While there are exceptions to the rule, late bloomers are fairly rare. In MLB draft I'm much more about high ceiling, you can afford to miss. It's just too painful to completely miss in the lottery with the NBA. Overseas teams are full of tantalizing draft picks. I loved the AJJ pick a few years ago, I'm very surprised his game hasn't really translated. He's the type of guy I'm looking for all the time.

    I was referring to his time with the Bucks. I had forgotten about Haslip. Ugh

    Rollins Herro Jaquez Turner Ware Woukd be my guess
  11. rwa12
    I agree, and the more I think about it, the 13th pick in any draft is far from a sure thing. Ament may develop. Time will tell. They both should get minutes.

    Trade can’t be made official until July 6. Happens every year. Sucks that the kids get a picture in another hat. i think Berries is solid. Love the pick. He’s a winner. I fear Ament will be like our last Tennessee reach (Tobias). He may figure it out, but likely somewhere else. I’d have rather had Looez as a project. Hope to eat crow.
  13. rwa12
    We make the pick, it just shows Miami. Although I’d rather someone else drafted Ament.

    One can be intelligent and ignorant. Think he went out of his way to prove this…

    I very much like Adames’ setup and swing, hope he finds a home here

    Congrats on the weight loss. I found out I was diabetic in mid-March, have cut out a ton from my diet, and am down from 278 to 250 (I’m 6’8”). Needed to shed some weight, but at this point I’m concerned mainly with my A1C. I know the two are linked, so hopefully the weight loss helps. Just on medication right now, no insulin. Hoping to stay that way or get off meds entirely. Wake up call.

    Grading is driving the new market. It’s really no different than the last big surge in the early 90s. People think they are investing, most will be worthless. I sold 4 cards, that I had a net $10 investment in, for $1300 in February. I almost felt bad about it.

    Good pick in a need position, but a bit of a middle finger to AR12. At least makes the Denver trade unlikely

    Eichenberg screams Packer o-linemen that the fans hate on draft day that becomes an All-Pro. Fits the mold well as a player. I think both will be good, but not staying up until 11 when I have to be up for work at 4 good.

    For true disappointment, my guesses are Eichenberg or Dickerson.

    Don’t underestimate the nice career that you can make for yourself overseas. I played NAIA ball, and a lot of guys made decent salaries playing in the smaller leagues. Not Bentley money, but $100k a year living in Greece or Iceland isn’t the worst way to spend your 20s.
