No reason to trade somebody young 1-3 years in MLB for minor league lottery ticket Must go - Gorman - admit it he cant hit MLB pitching. Trade him or cut him Trade since you lose them next year anyway - Dusty, Jo Jo (appendix) , Ryne (unless you want to pay him $6M next year, ankle injury)...

Vaaks is proven P5 starter. I trust the videos. Coleman dominated in HS and Fiba U18. Doing the same in college right way may or may not happen. Andrej, Tommy, David, Big Z and Jake are sure things. Replacing an AA is always hard. we stumbled year after Ayo left, year after Kofi left...

top 10 non B10 WBB UConn Texas SCarolina Vanderbilt Notre Dame LSU TCU Shauna is hunting BIG game

College is getting more like NBA - including big PGs SGA 6'6" Luka 6'7" Cade C 6'7" Lamelo 6'7" Tyrese Hal 6'5" Donavon M 6'4" Tyrese Maxey 6'4" Jalen Brunson is outlier at 6'1" It would be nice to have an emergency PG -- Nico M, Justin H but Brad does not see the need I agree if Vaaks...

My bad - we need a LF. JMO - we need to upgrade. Nate hopefully improve year 2. Noot is who he is. I miss 2004 Edmunds Walker Lankford Sanders 2011 Holiday Berkman Jay Craig, Outfield used to be a real strength. What if Craig does not ruin his foot slipping on 3rd base in the WS. What if...

Noot is on 1 year $5M contract so its not bad. However this team even if it makes the playoff is not going anywhere due to lack of pitching. If Noot is playing like a 4.0 WAR outfielder teams will be happy to send decent prospect to get immediate help. Holding on to Noot just to have him...

I hope Noot has a great season. If he played every season like 2023 we would all be very happy. Unfortunately that season is the only good one out of six

Real depth 2024 - Dain Dainja, Luke Goode, Justin Harmon Real depth 2025 Morez Johson, Will Riley .DGL Real depth - 2026 Ben Humrichous, Big Z, Jake Z Real depth 2027 - Big Z Jake, Lukas (PG?), Lincoln (def?) Very rare you go past 8

Anybody who played baseball knows their is a huge difference between someone who gets walks vs. somebody who gets a hit which can and usually drive in runs. Lars is a nice player Injury prone - Last 4 years - 108, 117, 109, 135 games played. Only played 32 of 95 games this year YTD BA Last 4...

I love Michigan promoting Boyton 7 years at OK State 17-15 average record. Made NCAA once. Yes NCAA probation hurt but he did not show he was anything but mediocre I think Michigan will be above average for 1-2 years then they will be looking for a new coach again. Great for the Illini

This season is fools gold. Sell Noot, Jo Jo, Riley and Matthew L at the deadline. Should have traded Jo Jo last year. His value has dropped. They are all journeymen Noots 6th year in the majors he is a lifetime .243 hitter with limited power. He is a league average player. Matthew L 5th...

Pettigrew can talk to KJ, Will, and Keaton about how they were first round draft picks after freshman year at Illinois and what its like to play for Brad Or he can to 23 year old Yaxel who can tell him about playing freshman year at Az Central JC, sophomore and junior year at UAB making the...

Brewers own us 7 -2 record. If we split with them 4-5 we would be 50-42 8 games over .500 The key winning the division is getting our young pitching to match Milwaukee

Guarantee - Berry SF, Destiny PG, Cearah PF Fighting for other 2 slots - Gretchen 5'11" (2 consecutive years of knee injuries scary) SF , Divine is 5'11" top 20 HS recruit 2G, Manuela C 6'3", Aliyah 5'6" Jasmine 5'9" JMO 1. Limit Gretchen to 20 mpg to protect her knee 2. Start Manuela to...

Andrej does not come with Riley blocking him. Wagler never gets the chance to be an All American. More interesting question is how good is a team with soph KJ soph Riley added to Kylan, Tomi, Big Z, and improved Ben H. I think it probably makes 2nd weekend and loses. Having Keaton #5 pick in...
