Does that mean he's joining the team and playing this year? He's planning to join for the spring semester, which would have him join the team right away. As for playing, who knows? Assume he will play very little. Maybe by the end of the year they'd feel more comfortable giving him 5-7 minutes? But jumping into CBB in the middle of the Big Ten schedule is rough.

Who am I thinking of? Neagle? Kevin Brown Chan Ho Park Jason Schmidt Carl Pavano

Blaming a loss to EIU at home on health sure is the leap.

I’m not a big Swanson guy, but “much worse player” than Correa is certainly a leap I’m not willing to take

That was nice of him to answer in your lingo.

Well, to start, as that post clearly says, it's Instagram, not Twitter. To answer your question, if a profile is set to public and not private, you can see all of their follows and followers without following them. Do you get a notification when somebody you are following gets a new follower? I guess I'm just wondering why some shlub is checking Alex Cora's followers. Many people have nothing better to do with their time.

but there are lots of guys who would still have fit into an efficiency plan with more bulk. jed can't be scared of 2 year deals. There’s still plenty of those guys out there if that’s the plan to go 1-2 year deals. Segura, Martinez, Brantley, Profar, Syndergaard, Smyly, Kimbrel, Smith, Britton, Narvaez, Aguilar, Belt, Mancini, Pollock, Anderson, Eovaldi, Givens, Nelson, etc. There’s plenty of guys left to go short term and maybe build a WC team if things break. I think (?) this is sort of where I’m at right now. Would I like to get Correa? Of course. Would I like Swanson? Eh, I mean yes, but probably not at what he’ll get. Buying at the top of the market isn’t very smart in any other venture of life so this is probably no different. The Trea Turners and Correas of the world are probably going to be worth their contract but the next wave of guys getting big money are much less likely to. Will they help next year? Yeah, but much more so for teams trying to get over the WS hump not just the .500 hump. Some of these big market teams are probably close to out of the game next offseason right? Mets, Phillies, can they even sign more guys? What if Ohtani really does become realistic? Maybe I’m way off here but I just didn’t see the real possibility from going to whatever last year was to a true contender in a single offseason outside of signing 3-4 top end guys, which we know wasn’t going happen

I would have guessed Hopkins was like 33 already

Why would anyone care what this chick thinks?

How could you possibly argue for Amaya in the T10?

You'll feel better when he loses any concept of the strike zone, swings out of his shoes, and strikes out every PA because of how badly he spazzes out wanting to do damage against them. Not really. It's a travesty that they are letting him go. It would be different if Amaya was raking in AAA. A travesty?

I think the upside is enormous. Right now they're still very sloppy with lots of turnovers and 1v1 on offense, but as they gel they could very well be the team that finally gets UI back into the sweet 16 and further. Clark is going too fast, lots of unnecessary dribbling, I think he'll start figuring it out soon. In the meantime, Epps was very good last night, he's fearless not afraid of rising to moment and taking a big shot. Him and Clark both are the types that can penetrate, get to the hoop, this style seems to excel in the tournament. Would love if the Illini had another shot at Maryland - Illini' best >>> Maryland' best - Ilini did play well at all and still could have won at Maryland. I mean, that's just the Big Ten on the road

One guy I really have zero interest in would be Josh Bell

pretty wild overpay imo Agreed, unfortunately.

I'm not against your Vazquez idea, but I hope they aren't thinking too much about Miguel Amaya when figuring out next years catching situation. He has 304 PA's since 2019.

Chase Claypool is awful so no thanks to that

Syracuse is unquestionably the most overrated team in the country, so I'll say no chance they beat Clemson.

Why would Abreu get more money than he did 3 years ago?

I'd be beyond pissed in trading a 1st round draft pick for D.J. Moore

Illini ranked (24th) for the first time since 2011

I agree about Marquez, but Rowan Wick was awful.

The most "un-sharp" bettors are all over PSU this weekend......gimme Auburn

Don’t make a habit of crossing zero on teasers, that’s a long term death trap. In fact, teasers should really only be used to cross 2 key numbers. They’re called Wong Teasers and have been super profitable, at least in the NFL. I don’t mess with college.

Live player props in the NFL is my bread and butter. The market is still so soft on them

Ballesteros is really going to have to watch his weight.
