Chase Young is the new Jadeveon Clowney in the sense that they seemingly are looked at and paid entirely off of how prolific they were coming out of college.
For me it's all about the power numbers with Javy, by this point in his career he is who he is in terms of average and obp but perhaps this surgery can help bring back the power numbers he had pre Tigers. If he can put up 25 HRs with a portion of those coming in high leverage spots he could be of value to us.
The Pistons are now 10th in ESPN Power Rankings. I don't really care that much about them but this has to be the first time they've been in the top 10 since the 00s.
Genuine question cause I very well may have missed something but is there any real evidence of this or even rumors about it other than just the fact that he is still elite at his age?
The Tigers appear to finally develop 3 legit young position players in Meadows, Carp and Greene and of course all 3 have had trouble staying on the field in their young careers.
I guess you'd have to define unrealistic, A guy who's had 1 good year in his career suddenly hitting 50 hrs which only a tiny fraction of baseball players ever do is unrealistic to me.
I think worth mentioning that Tobias has been playing alot better the past month or so, averaging nearly 18 on 56% shooting during this 10-2 Pistons stretch.
I remember saying it on draft night when he wore the ridiculous suit with shorts look how punchable I thought his face was. So yeah don't know what it is about him but I always disliked him and thought he just was annoying looking as hell.
Hypothetically if they end up with 2 of the top 4 picks but its not number 1 would you deal them both to get Flagg? Or is there not enough difference between him and the next guys to justify that?
To me the D tackles are the biggest need for the team given McNeil's injury. I felt the loss of him on top of Reader really falling off at the end was what really killed the defense down the stretch. On top of not getting pressure from the interior teams were just carving us up on 1st down runs.
