Supposedly the Heat really didn’t want to deal Jakucionis and the Bucks refused to do the deal unless he was in it.
I hope the Bucks can turn around and get something for Turner. He just isn’t a fit now.
Not sure what the best thing to do with Herro is, trade or extend.
I believe it’s 2031.
I actually don’t think we will be top five pick bad. Ware and Jaquez should be pretty decent building blocks. Too soon to tell on Jakucionis, but he’s very young.
They need to value ceiling over immediate production on both picks tonight. But I think they’re better today than any day they played without Giannis last season, which was almost 60% of the time and they got rid of Doc,
I think they’re probably a 32 or so win team again. Not that it really matters much because to your original point it’ll be a long time before they control their picks unless they can swing some more deals.
I mean they didn’t remember how to score in the 10th per se they just did the advancing the baserunners and productive outs thing correctly. Which was enough.
His average is down but his OBP is higher than last year, so he’s walking more too and hitting for more power.
If he’s going to hit 25 HR and get on base 37% of the time I can live just fine with a 26% K rate.
So if it’s the Celtics we’re likely getting Brown. What exactly is the point of this? To go from a bad team with a superstar player to a bad team with a star player?
I think the long outings by Patrick are somewhat designed to keep him stretched out. I think they want to preserve the ability to start him or ask him for 4-5 innings in the middle of a game rather than just treat him like their other relievers.
Okay, but you are arguing that one player is just as good of a hitter from his platoon dominant side, as another hitter is from his non-platoon dominant side.
That is not a super strong argument for Frelick as a player overall. It’s just saying that there isn’t a big difference when Vaughn comes to the plate with a bad R/R matchup than when Frelick comes up with the platoon advantage.
Well, be careful who you give away …. While I am by no means calling that a bad deal — Drew Rasmussen would sure look good in this rotation right now.
I suppose both teams are probably happy with what they got out of that deal.
