  1. Wendell Carter was a solid pick too
  2. I believe that Soto will prove to be more valuable over the life of his contract than Judge will over his. Judge is so freaking big that it seems likely to me that his body will break down. Also, I don't think Soto is all that far behind Judge in terms of hitting. Definitely when it comes to defensive value, but how long will Judge add that value?
  3. yeah, I figure we will see the P4 champs, Boise as the 5th champ, and then 6 teams from the B1G and SEC, with maybe 1 more from either the ACC or B12
  4. They willingly played Tim Boyle
  5. uh, not sure what happened with your quote but I am not the one who said that... And I generally agree with you - superteams aren't really a thing in baseball like they are in basketball
  6. They sure didn't last week, but their D is suited for an old-school slobberknocker like Michigan played today
  7. average contract length for a top 10 or 20 is irrelevant when it has outliers like Turner, Bogaerts, Yamamoto, etc.
  8. It would be kind of hilarious for Francisco Lindor to come to Cleveland and win a WS with the Mets
  9. Thought I had today: Does Caleb get more control of the offense because Flus is a defensive guy? Like would Matt Nagy be giving him this type of freedom to make calls at the line? Or would he be more intent on showing he's the reason the offense is good?
  10. pretty sure his somewhat high snap was part of why Cairo got his one kick blocked
  11. Next season is make or break for Jed. If he goes into the season basically standing pat, he's letting his job ride on prospects coming up and being everything we hope they would be and for the returners to all stay steady or improve. That makes me think he's going to have to make at least 1 big move this offseason, whether it's for a starter or a big bat
  12. Check out the schedules for Rutgers and Indiana. Insane how easy they are. Illinois in Piscataway may be Rutgers' 2nd most difficult game
  13. That was the dumbest game I have ever been to
  14. Please stop suggesting that Busch play 2nd base
  15. And the idiot announcers called it a "miscommunication" when it was clearly a throwaway
  16. That's one of the most encouraging things for me in watching Caleb Williams have some success. It's a league where guys can take a lot of time to get up to speed at the QB position. Seeing him (and Daniels) have this level of success (and for Caleb, the marked improvement as the season goes on) seems to bode well for his future
  17. he clearly doesn't mean every family, but there are hundreds of places where kids can and do hear those words - many of which hear it at home plenty
  18. There is nothing about Julian Merryweather's MLB career that suggests this level of confidence in him coming back from injury. His 2023 performance was very good. Other than that, his best year as a pro was in 2016 in High A and AA in the Cleveland system.
  19. Totally fair, you've been doing it for years and this is like the 2nd/3rd year they've actually had a ranking at any point
  20. Hey, it might not last that long, so put Illinois up there with the ranked teams. Not sure if you use coaches poll or AP right now, but they're ranked in both
  21. In time.... so like by week 15 or so?
  22. love getting that sack to keep them off the board there
  23. threw a punch at Horn, just because
  24. Carolina getting chippy... tired of getting their butts kicked
