    Michigan's receivers totaled 35 yards on 8 targets yesterday the Moore era probably hinges on finding a proper OC this winter, i think

    looking like Daniels might well be the next Lamar that we were promised

    if he's viewed as being a salary dump then Robert is a near perfect trade target for us the correct answer for addressing a need for an impact bat has always been to sign, or trade for proven studs like Harper/Seager/Correa/Soto/Vlad but given we're disinterested in that course of action we probably have to keep praying on Cody Bellinger grade buy-low reclamation bouncebacks which Robert is a pretty good candidate to be and if Bellinger opts in push Busch to 2B and bid farewell to Nico, possibly fixing C in the process

    wait what

    during the winter transfer window (12/4/2023 - 1/2/2024) U-M coaches were likely preoccupied with Playoff prep and McCarthy never gave any good indication at all what his plans were, and probably himself didn't even know at that time by the spring window there weren't any good QBs left there was a program failure to plan ahead for this moment during years prior, and it might just be as simple as: it's exceedingly difficult to sell an impact QB on waiting potentially 2 years as a pure backup for a coach that might be gone by then in a system that doesn't even like passing the ball vertically WR recruiting and retention was just as big a failure; despite all the program successes, it's not a real good school to sign up for to play wideout, specifically given the relative disinterest to incorporate them strongly into the gameplan.. these are Nico Collins' stats just for example: Sherrone will have to change the offensive identity in some ways at some point, to make life easier on himself going forward

    Moises 0/6 on CS and a PB, sad to see it

    you're permitted an early exit if you throw 100 pitches, so Assad could still throw his customary 3-1/3 IP of sweaty 1-run ball

    me trying to grow as a person– singing along to Shania Twain: "let's go, Women..♫♪♫" singing along to Thin Lizzy: "♫ the Men are back in town.. ♫"

    i think i selected 24-32 ages and yeah i only ever made the comparison on a purely offensive basis but i really don't think Keith Law has him consistently around top-25 prospect in the game on the dreams he can be a weak-side platoon OF

    gonna strenuously disagree with this; Cameron's prime was 107 wRC+ which is really just Austin Hays/Mike Yastrzemski territory i added the implied qualifier that Cameron was a wizard defensively, and you have to believe Alcantara's upside offensively is better than like, Ramón Urías/ Luis Urías offensively or he's not even really a prospect worth following very closely
  12. sneakypower
    his numbers since basically the first week of the season look a lot like Mike Cameron and while he won't reach those lofty heights with his glove that's probably a good ballpark upside stylistically in my mind

    buy high, sell low- hey that's just good arbitrage
  15. sneakypower
    personally i think you all but have to say 'worse' just simply because we have so much more information now and that Shaw, Wiggins, Rosario, Hope all look like great picks and Sanders & Melendez have also flashed, but there's so much unknown with all these '24 guys until they face real competition
  16. sneakypower
    a lot of meaningless words to try to paper over career OPS in the .500s he's dog horsefeathers
  17. sneakypower
    i'm going to fight! fight! fight! you for even suggesting this
  18. sneakypower
    i love that Walls' paltry season stats are displayed on that clip, and that he had to wait like a week to do this celebration because XBHs are such a rare event for him

    what DJs put their palm flat on their right ear and hold up a defiant fist, motionless, like that
  20. sneakypower
    oh really, did they act like their ear just got shot, too
  21. sneakypower
    yuck, really sad to hear that, my prayers go out to cholera

    Steele has the best ERA in baseball over the last 2 calendar years (min. 250 IP) Hoerner is replaceable enough internally that i like gauging the market, but i don't know how we really improve by selling off a steady frontline SP unless maybe it's Basallo & Holliday coming back
  23. sneakypower
    Morel has expected slash of .248/.345/.468 which is a middle of the order bat (Seiya Suzuki OPS) – if – you have reason to believe he's underperforming solely due to misfortune and not that he has a predictable spray chart; i admittedly haven't dove into this enough to have a strong take either way but i still think there's enough in his bat that we have to find him regular PA until there are clear better options internally
  24. sneakypower
    i really dislike the way he formatted his ordering there
  25. sneakypower
    maybe they'll hold the line and he'll be forced back to Michigan for another year 😁
