Well there's a chance Foles winds up as a starter somewhere next year for what i'd imaine would be a dollar right?
-
I've never done a keeper auction, so I have a hard time opining on that, but obviously as far as this season goes you killed it with that trade. I just hope you structured the trades so you have one of Brady or Luck this weekend.

Offseason Rumors
SouthSideRyan replied to Clem Fandango's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
I worry about a guy who was allowed to walk free 2 years ago, and just became a starter 2 seasons ago -
How many cars does a dealership sell in a day? I have no idea, but I have to think that's the best odds to win 25 grand in a contest I've ever seen. I think it's a fairly risky bet on the dealership's part. While the odds are astronomically against any team shutting down the Tide, I can't imagine the dealership surviving this if the fluke happens. There will be enough Auburn fans that will give it a shot just for the heck of it. Can a small-town operation like this get insurance on a competition like this the same way stuff like Pepsi did? Is it worth it to them in a case like this?

Good thing he came home for a little guidance.

How'd you find four players who weren't transfers?

Yea. His silly list also left off the 3 florida programs that have had as much or more success than bama over the last 20 years. Either you missed my point or I'm missing yours. Do you think any of those Florida jobs are better than Bama?

That doesn't really make sense. I'd imagine this opens up room to retain Scherzer

This is all silly, the Dubose-Franchione-Price-Shula era wasn't that long ago at Alabama.

See my edit, though I see your point that an injury is a different animal than a decline/cliff jumping

I take it we're waiting until non-tender time to dump Bard

Something's not right there, they should have 4 conference home games. ETA: They also play Florida at home.

Offseason Rumors

I also think people are still adapting to what constitutes an "average" OPS -
Doesn't this process of team building lead to higher variation from year to year and make it more difficult to build any sort of sustained success? ETA: What I mean is having a stud player gives you more margin for error when guys fall off. When you don't have a cushion in place and your 105 OPS+ falls to an 80 in one year, then what? It's easier to replace an 80 that drops to a 55 in-season than the 105

If I'm being honest, Michigan and Ohio State are better examples. They are similar in geography, and obviously in our conference.. Yeah, they're not really better examples. Relative to the Big Ten, Michigan and Ohio State are situated in fertile recruiting grounds, and each have a national brand that brings in high-level recruits from all over the country. Additionally each have very strong academic institutions and there's been a recent trend where elite academic schools are bringing in stronger and stronger recruits i.e. Stanford, Northwestern, Vanderbilt. Compare this to Nebraska where there are what, 3 D1 football recruits a year? And i'm pretty sure that Nebraska is the only school in the Big Ten that doesn't have AAU certification, which I believe they lost shortly after joining the conference. Add those two variables up, and Michigan and Ohio State are in different stratospheres on a go-forward basis, regardless of how Hoke's tenure will end up. The fact that Stanford, NU, and Vandy have had some success doesn't mean the academic standing of a school has anything to do with bringing in good recruits. I mean, the SEC is still a thing.

More evidence of Tallahassee police out to get the football team.

When he leaves to coach Virginia or whoever else starts waving money at him, his kind of players are going to hate him. And after he leaves you'll actually be relieved. And if one of them rapes somebody, they can just transfer to Memphis!

BA & MLB.com's Cubs Top 10 Prospects
SouthSideRyan replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
I like to get my hopes up about our prospects becoming studs so we can trade them away. You'd have to be more down on Ricketts than davell and me combined to think we couldn't keep Bryant past 2020. Jesus, Boras will be 68 years old by then, he may not even be a thing by that point. -
Is The Ricketts Family the worst thing to...

Cheaper than I expected on Johnson, more than I expected for Murphy.

Fell into a BR wormhole and found that Sosa's worst OBP month in '98 was his insane June where he hit 20 HRs. How does a guy that dialed in only receive 6 BBs?? It's not like his approach hadn't changed by this point, he'd drawn 27 walks in the first 2 months of the season.
