anybody know what the story with Jayshon Platt? i hear the coach indicate that he'll be in next week, then next week, then we plan on him playing.... i dont like thinking bad things.

i also wonder exactly what the rules are for a young player on the 40 man roster but never having played in the bigs. During the lock out, could MLB allow that guy movement to AAA (or spring training minor league camp) for some at bats or pitching/defensive development?

the number seems reasonable. somebody is going to stop the run with 8 guys at the line of scrimmage and force our frosh QB to beat us.

gave them all out at the Oregon game.... 3missed field goals by the visitors

and we'll probably still be tied for the division lead in june. (at 0-0)

and i know he hit .218 this year. he should regress to the mean. 245-.260

i would add that Happ hit in busch stadium during that span. im not sure hes much more than a ,260/20 hr guy who is pretty good defensively, but he's a one year rental. i think if were taking a chance, i prefer Suzuki or Varsho as far as upside potential.

probably out of our price range, but one of Ian Happ, Dalton Varsho, Seyai Suzuki. if ur taking flyers maybe Walker Buehler or Alec Bohm. Maybe put the band back together with Ryan Helsley (at least until the trade deadline) A farewell to Max Scherzer? i dont think he'd play for a...

Why do we care what Moz does now, and anyway, he never did anything wrong, just ask him. I think an infusion of veteran talent at a starting pitcher slot, third and at an outfield position to stem the tide while the AA talent make it to show could make this a very interesting year. (if we have...

On the Jesus Baez front: he signed with the Mets as a 17 yr old and now 4 years into his career has to be protected by being placed on the 40 man this year or be eligible for the rule 5 draft. (he turns 22 during the 2026 season) while the cards would probably prefer to keep him in the minors...

Also, if contreras and gray were bad contracts (see an excellent fwar argument above), the trade values for those two specifically wouldn't have earned the return they did and given us the young stud pitchers we received. Whether we needed a rebuild or not, the return for those two specifically...

IU is our mortal enemy?

and its less than half of ohio states budget

The tone of that seemed to be that he can pivot and make changes without losing much. he also talked about his NFL experience learning how to change staff/players mid stream.

I think he burned a few bridges on the way out of town. there also may have been some other off the field stuff going on too.
