    Well if the reports are true that they had no interest in Nelson, with his college coach on staff, then he probably wasn't the right guy, really. And I'm not sure it would be wise to ask a mid 30s injury prone G to play in a scheme he doesn't fit, even if it's just as a stopgap. That was the clear driving force of not picking up Sitton's option, IMO. To me, Pace gave Vic a franchise player, gave his new OL coach a franchise player, and then gave his new HC and Helfrich a possible franchise player. From there he added some high upside athletic players with pretty low floors. Though I do think Nichols is exciting, and Fitts is quite intriguing. His 3-cone is comparable to Landry's. so now there are reports they had no interest in Nelson? You can assume whoever gave you those reports is a liar. You're also stretching the concept of a franchise player extremely thin. i think this is the "report" that people are basing that off of. in reality it's his (informed) speculation and not nearly as strongly worded.

    i said isn't abysmal. didn't say he's good. that's kind of my point.

    They seem to fill up as the game goes on. Guessing it’s late arrivals/people hanging in that club longer before the game because of the weather for a saturday afternoon game against milwaukee, yeah, that might be the case. will be interested in seeing how that looks throughout the season on less desirable games, though.

    i'm guessing all the empty seats behind home plate this year are a result of how you have to be a member of that insanely expensive 1914 club to get them now. eventually will be that way in the rest of the infield too.

    lol like 10 years ago we all would love albert almora bc he'd be the first decent big league player we developed in a million years instead he's basically an afterthought, behind like 5 or 6 other guys. i completely take for granted that he is a draft pick who made it to the big leagues and isn't abysmal.

    the traditional chart is basically worthless with the rookie scale though but you did say fwiw Most the "new" models I've seen would make that 4th more valuable relative to the second...basically making this trade impossible to "win". But I dont also totally agree with some of those new models, either. When the wage gap between early and late picks is drastically cut, I don't see how the value would skew toward the later picks.

    Who said morrow can't close? most of the local beat guys and radio guuys tried to drum up concern over the closer "position" and lots of them were predicting the cubs would need to trade for a closer at the deadline

    what does the fact that we had 2 #4's have to do with anything? basically the same as saying we gave up a future 4th round pick for a guy we like now; nothing really. you stated that waiting to draft next year was rolling the dice. horsefeathers, we're rolling the dice now. i have no idea what you're saying at the time that trade was made, they knew exactly who was available and who they'd be able to take. a player of the caliber/fit that they apparently perceive miller to be may or may not be available with that pick next year. they gave up a 4th and swapped 2nds (yes, a later 2nd than they are likely to have next year - but that is negated by the fact that they know their player is there when they make the move) to make sure they got that player and they got him a year sooner than that guy they'd take next year. and i still have no clue what point you were making by saying we had 2 4th rounders this year

    we basically gave up a 4 to get a guy we must have really liked right now who we knew was available instead of rolling the dice on running into that situation next year (and now is always better than later) we had 2 #4's. and this guy better be UNBELIEVABLE to the point it puts the pick way past #50. or the collection of them. Pace is rolling the dice right now what does the fact that we had 2 #4's have to do with anything?

    fwiw, smarter front offices are placing less value in later round picks relative to early ones than it ever used to be, largely because of the rookie wage scale. and those roster spots from the later round picks can be filled with cheap free agents and such (or veterans you trade those picks for) the jimmy johnson chart is completely out the window in 2018. yea. but we lose an early draft pick in this we basically gave up a 4 to get a guy we must have really liked right now who we knew was available instead of rolling the dice on running into that situation next year (and now is always better than later) do i LOVE the value? no, but whatever, it's fine. 4ths are almost always nothings and you can get lucky on cheap FAs and UDFAs too.

    i'm excited enough that i want to go to training camp and deal with the traffic nightmare for the first time since like 2012, despite the fact that i can never see anything

    Eh not too bad a #2 and a #4 for a #2 Pace is a horsefeathering ametuer fwiw, smarter front offices are placing less value in later round picks relative to early ones than it ever used to be, largely because of the rookie wage scale. and those roster spots from the later round picks can be filled with cheap free agents and such (or veterans you trade those picks for) the jimmy johnson chart is completely out the window in 2018.

    Eh not too bad Next years 2nd round pick is enormous if this team isn't a 9+ win team this year. i honestly think it just might be this horsefeathers happens in the nfl all the time and i'll be damned if i don't love almost everything that has happened since the glorious day john fox was fired. the only thing that gives me pause is the division, but those teams are subject to nfl wacky variance too so who knows.
