i want to see what Leo Bernal in STL this summer/fall looks like. switch hitting catcher who has been successful at every level. Memphis 2026 numbers .278/.851 ops works for me. not sure why Crooks went up first.

if you cant play herrera at first or third and he's not DH'ing, you have to trade burleson and make room for him.

until we play them in the first game of the tournament next March. then everybody will be crying about the selection committee's sense of humor.

film from 3 years ago? i see long forgotten illini around him.

stop it with the depth thing. this team has more depth than any illini team EVER!

he can provide what Humrichous provided last year. hustle, shooting, maybe even guard somebody?

oh my god. i'm gone for two weeks and and the 9th man argument is still going on. what an embarrassment of riches! and now, our point guards are too tall! you guys have anything else to do?

I think after 8 guys, you start to risk your best three not being on the court for enough minutes. Three of Mirk, Stoya, probably QC or Vaaks need to be on the court with at least one of the twins 65% of the time to play at the highest level. not gonna find minutes for 9-10 guys.

the QC show?

why did i dislike that guy so much and now i kind of like him?

when we go thru a stretch like this, the guys your showcasing even suck.

Does anybody think Baez could play 3rd? i know position changes are less likely these days. The cards have had a decent history when they had roving scouts. (that gives you a hint on how old i am)

lets bring up a couple young arms to pitch out of the pen. there should be plenty of room on the 40 man with Gorman, Pozo, Victor Scott, Saggese stinking it up in Memphis. Lets see Mathews, Dobbins and Mautz. (i realize that is maybe too soon for some, but i'm ready) Joshua Baez's time is...

it might be because against the lighter uni you can't see it.

we'll get them in Detroit.
