  1. Maybe he is still settling in, but so far, Burnes has nothing today. He's just trying to survive.
  2. Not a bad looking AB up until that last swing. Alas, the first Brewer stranded leadoff double of 2022 did not take long.
  3. If he starts looking like an MVP again this year no one will be talking about his struggles.
  4. Well yeah, certainly miles and miles away from any long-term conclusions for 2022. That said after the '20 and '21 seasons the "he'll come around" confidence if he struggles early is no longer going to be there for most.
  5. Oof, just looked like a routine chopper to me. Depressing to have to find silver lining for the guy.
  6. Yep. I don't know what Severino's true intentions were, and I really don't care. He screwed up, and him and his team have to pay for it now. Everything else is just assumptions and speculation.
  7. It's whatever. It's just a backup catcher and I'm sure Caratini can at least be adequate there for half a season. I just liked Pina.
  8. Pina was a FA and required nothing in trade and his 2/$8M deal is hardly a drop in the bucket. He's older but certainly better as an ideal backup C and the age is less of a concern having started his career later and having less wear.
  9. Ehh. I wish we had just kept Manny Pina.
  10. It makes no difference to me whether Severino is telling the truth or not. He's either lying/cheating or careless and the penalties are the same for both. In his line of work you absolutely have to know what you're putting into your body especially when you know what you're taking relates to testosterone. This is obviously not a civilian desk job where taking a prescription like that would never even cross your mind twice.
  11. Random thought: The Bucks clinched their 4th straight divisional championship tonight. Does anyone know? Are divisions, and division championships not even really a thing in the NBA? They seem very important in MLB and the NFL. I am not even sure I could tell you who is all in the Bucks' division without looking it up.
  12. Davante's deal is essentially 3 years/67.5M. He's almost certain to be a cap casualty after 2024. I'd be stunned if Metcalf and McLaurin don't do better than that on an extension.
  13. The problem with paying a heavy price for someone like Metcalf or McLaurin is that you're almost immediately going to be hit with a double whammy by having to commit a big contract extension in addition to major draft capital, unless you are satisfied with a 1 year rental in which case giving up big draft capital makes little sense. Even though they were willing to make an exception for Adams, I believe the Packers believe the WR market is highly overpriced and have no intention at this time of paying the going FA rates. It would therefore not completely shock me given the strength of the rookie WR class if they choose to double dip in the first round on WRs and thus control two potential stud receivers cheaply for 5 years. After all, if you believe the free agent WR market is underpriced, there's a good chance you also believe the rookie WR market is undervalued.
  14. No way is Washington moving Terry for less than a 1st. He's young, really good, and at least for '22, highly affordable. Cooks is probably quite a bit more obtainable. The passing around the league stuff doesn't bother me much, it's not like he's a known head case. I think it's partly been circumstantial and partly because his concussion history has scared teams. But he's been productive everywhere. If you could get him for a 3rd, you could do far worse on a 1 year rental.
  15. I still remember the Donavon Hand era. The article titles wrote themselves every day.
  16. I swear when you're the MVP it seems like you get 2 years to be the MVP and then voters get sick of you no matter what you're doing.
  17. I don't know why it sticks out for me, but I'll always remember Chris Capuano's one career HR. Opposite field at Miller Park. It just kept carrying and carrying. Even Uek was shocked, he thought it was just a routine pop fly.
  18. Is it possible... just possible...that the Packers are thinking this exact same thing? Maybe WRs are the new market inefficiency? This is a loaded rookie class. Maybe they're thinking they'll use a 1st and a 2nd on WRs, draft a project in the 5th and call it good? I mean what are guys like Jefferson and Chase going to get after their rookie contracts expire at this rate? 40M a year?
  19. Return for Hill is almost the exact same as the Davante return in terms of value. More picks involved and the 2nd three spots higher in the 2nd but this is negated by the difference in value between 22 and 29 overall.
  20. I can't understand how Nathan For You didn't get more attention or critical acclaim. It is so good.
  21. Adams' contract is essentially for 3 years and $67.5M. Actually quite team friendly given the market. He has non guaranteed salaries of 35M each for '25 and '26 and is therefore almost certain to be a cap casualty after 2024.
  22. Not a 3 seed quality team. Pathetic performance.
  23. Not going to win too many games shooting 1 for 16 from 3.
  24. Guess I don't really disagree with them doing it. The going rate for franchise QBs is extremely high and now they have one. Rarely does one become available via trade. After everything that franchise has been through over the years, I can certainly understand them going for it. They weren't going anywhere with Baker Mayfield as their QB.
  25. Adams is amazing at what he does. We wanted to keep him, he wanted to go play for the Raiders and in my opinion he's earned that right to play where he wants to be. We got some compensation both in the areas of cap relief and draft picks, and we'll have to use that compensation to improve as much as we can both at WR and elsewhere to make the best of the situation and still be Super Bowl contenders. That's my take.
