  1. I can't decide if I want Cade to end up closing games or just being in the rotation at season's end... I imagine he will end up in the pen, due to trying to limit innings... but at the same time, I feel like those high stress late inning appearances in a playoff race (and he won't be up pitching those innings if we're not in a playoff race) are maybe just as taxing on the arm
  2. Seems like a straight defensive replacement, if PCA is up, might as well let him play D if the lineup allows in the late innings
  3. Fashanu and Caleb were HS teammates
  4. Someone is going to have to explain to me why Byron Murphy is the betting favorite to go #9 while Johnny Newton is like 50/50 to even go in the 1st round. I know Newton had a foot injury, but his medical shows it's healed, and he even wrecked games while injured this year. Newton had better production over his whole career playing on a d line with way less talent than Murphy. Murphy has like an inch and a half longer wing span, but the same length arms while being shorter and lighter than Newton. I know I'm a bit of a homer, but it doesn't add up for me.
  5. Think our 2025 2nd would be enough?
  6. I wonder if this plan is meant to tank so that they can build in AH and say, "Well we tried to build in the city, and it got voted down."
  7. This plan is going to tank,
  8. Wasn't it against Houston last year that Belli got hurt?
  9. That was a much needed quick inning from Wicks. Get France right back out there and grind some more ABs
  10. Drop: F Alvarez Add: Adley Rutschman
  11. would be good to add another WR option, but receiving options 3/4/5 are probably Kmet/Swift/Everett right now which isn't awful, especially combined with the best 1/2 since Marshall/Jeffery
  12. Title doesn't match the post 2.5/10
  13. I wouldn't even mind trading Vooch for a bad contract that Billy D will have no temptation to play.
  14. So with the rumblings of Atlanta being punished for tampering with Cousins, what happens if they lose the 8th pick (I've seen speculation they move ATL from 8 to 32 as punishment for example)? Assuming 3 QBs after Caleb, Alt and 2 WRs gets you the 3rd WR, or if all 3 receivers you can take Alt. Which would you prefer?
  15. Yeah, I think the value in this draft is actually later. Top of the draft is weak, but the middle is normal. Of course, the Bulls will probably draft another athlete who can't shoot so it won't matter.
  16. I'll sign up for the list
