    Bledsoe doesn't have the chronic foot issues that may plague Brogdon in the next 4 years and is obviously the better defender. I'm worried that Bledsoe may be a guy who just can't handle the bright playoff lights, which is concerning, but I'll give him another postseason before I declare that.

    Woodruff will be older when he hits free agency than Yelich will be when he hits it. No need at all to extend Woodruff.

    Like who? Donaldson is the only significant guy left. Unless you are talking about a significant trade.

    To me there's really little difference between 2 and 1. The difference between 2 and 3 is much bigger because now you're talking about a bye team and a team that needs to play a WC game. If they can win their last two and clinch a bye I'll be thrilled with that and will care very little if they win HFA or not. All things equal I guess I'd prefer the #1 but you could easily argue the 49ers at Lambeau is a worse matchup than the Saints at Lambeau. It would be comforting to get every opponent at home in the playoffs but I don't get a sense that Lambeau is a big homefield advantage this season.

    If we are using Torres for Chapman as the starting point for Hader, he will never be traded. That was a unique deal with no precedent and will probably never be repeated.

    Seattle has that really high quality road win in San Francisco which is probably the main reason they get a pass. If we can get our own tonight, I think we'll start to be taken a little more seriously; if not, it's just going to confirm what people already think of us as a contender.

    Hill would be a fine signing but he won't be ready for early 2020. I'd only count on him for the second half of the season if you sign him.

    For any realistic chance of a deep run, we need to win tonight and next week and secure a bye. Failing to do tonight so puts us firmly in the high percentage likelihood for a 3 seed, meaning no week off and a tough game against a team we will have just lost to. Basically go get yourself a division champion Tshirt which is cool I guess after a couple years without it, but don't expect much beyond that. On the other hand, not only would a win tonight put us firmly in the driver's seat for a bye, but it would give us that quality road win we've been lacking and really give us some confidence heading into January.

    Let me know when running a higher payroll equals having a better team. The Brewers have made some cost-cutting moves, but the moves they've made have been with the goal of staying competitive. They are obviously taking a few leaps of faith, so we'll see what happens. But right now this is looking like a pretty competitive squad, as long as they get solid starting pitching. Well, there's definitely a correlation between higher payroll and winning. It's not a guarantee of success, you still have to invest wisely, but it's no secret or coincidence why the Dodgers are always among the teams to beat in the NL - they have boatloads of money to spend. That said, I agree with the premise that was stated that they shouldn't just make moves to keep pace with last year's payroll. That's spending money for the sake of spending money. They have to time their payroll spending with efficienct spending. If this isn't an efficient free agent market for them to get involved with, there's no sense in throwing around money just to not trim payroll -- perhaps there will be an opportunity and means in the next offseason to spend $150M in the short term.

    I guess by valued he means we didn't offer him 4/84. Looking at it, if you're talking about option A being paying Khris Middleton 35M a year or option B being paying Brogdon 21M a year and having 14M more to a year available m, I'm taking option B. Watching this team I just have a hard time seeing Middleton as the second best player on this team. I see a lot of Michael Redd. There just isn't a lot of things he does really well whereas there's several things Brogdon does really well. With that said, I admittedly have no idea how devastating it would have been to our chances of keeping Giannis if we had let Khris walk. So that has to be considered regardless of the money. But Middleton is far and away the most overpaid player on the Bucks especially when you consider on any given night you might have 5 or 6 guys that played a bigger role. He just isn't on a level with too many other guys who make 35M a season. But they've got their core locked up if they can get Giannis to sign the supermax which is obviously the final piece of the puzzle.

    When it's 4th and less than 5, don't rush the punter. Don't do anything to risk giving them a free first down running into the kicker. Yet, teams still do it.

    I was at the MNF game where Favre played against the Packers at the Metrodome. I was certain I was going to jail that night.
  13. adambr2
    Well no, not for 4M. But they could have tendered him for probably 5-6M to return regardless of what he wanted.

    49ers/Seahawks got flexed to SNF next week, so we'll know going into the game whether Seattle is playing for our HFA or not.
  15. adambr2
    Why would it change how he approaches it? These last two games both already had enormous implications and remain so. Nothing should change in his approach.
  16. adambr2
    Just when things are going great in Seattle they block a Cardinal FG and return it into the redzone. Ridiculous

    Hundley has that "he's still in the league?!" question affect on people, much like RG3.

    It was 2003, it was Nate Poole and it was glorious. How could anyone forget the finite details on that one? It occurred the weekend before "We want the ball and we're gonna score", and sadly, two weekends before 4th and 26.

    ? Tiebreakers matter a lot if you're tied. But yeah, it's going to be tough sledding winning in Minnesota. We'll see.
  20. adambr2
    The Saints losing to the Titans would likely do little to nothing for us. We would gain a game but lose the tiebreaker advantage. We cannot clinch a bye with a win and Saints loss. If they lost to the Panthers next week that would be much more beneficial as we would keep the conference tiebreaker.
  21. adambr2
    I'm just not that concerned with the #1 seed, mainly because I think the odds of it are extremely remote (would literally take a 49ers/Seahawks tie next week if the Seahawks don't lose to the Cardinals today). If we can get a #2 seed and the bye that goes with it I'd be totally thrilled. And even at #2 you still have a chance of not playing on the road. In such a loaded playoff field I could easily see the 49ers or Seahawks going into Seattle/San Francisco in the divisional round and winning on the road.

    Signing guys because "he's a winner" reminds me of all the dudes sitting around the table in "Moneyball" discussing what winner to get next while Billy Beane stared at them incredulously. Signing winners is how you end up committing 4 years to guys like Jeff Suppan.

    I think it's ok to be disappointed with the offseason and still have faith in Stearns. "Dumpster diver of an offseason" is probably a little much but he did mention it was just an opinion. I'm kind of in that spot where I haven't loved our moves a ton but I do have a lot of trust in Stearns at this point that I don't doubt they may work out despite my doubts. I loved our trades. Excited about the Lindblom signing. Nothing else we've done really excites me and I definitely see 3B as a problem. But I do fully recognize we've been pleasantly surprised with certain Stearns moves in the past that have yielded better production than expected by both experts and fans.
