That's why I never bought into the folks that essentially say non lottery 1st rounders are worthless. Yeah the likelihood of you finding a superstar with one of those picks is pretty damn small but you can get valuable pieces that could be a third or possibly even 2nd option on a championship caliber team.

I saw Victor Reyes not only hit a HR but it was an absolute bomb, perhaps this offseason's 25lb of muscle is the 25lb of muscle that finally does get him to develop some HR power.

Not Tigers related but Pujols just signed a 1 year deal with the Cardinals. He's sitting on 679 HRs, he hit 17 last year so there's a chance he can get to 700 this year if he gets enough ABs. Would be cool to not only see him get there but to see him do it in a Cardinals uniform.

Yeah that was pretty tough. Wordle 280 5/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜🟨 ⬜⬜🟨⬜⬜ ⬜🟨⬜🟨⬜ ⬜⬜🟨🟨⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

It is pretty crazy that the Knicks have only won one playoff series since 2000 and only have one 50 win season since then as well.

Of course if you're of the belief that the team can win with Goff if we put enough talent around him so no need to draft a qb then having 2 top 6 picks and 4 in the top 34 would be awfully appealing. Adding for instance Thibs/Walker/Hamilton, Drake London and whoever you prefer at 32 and 34 could really transform this team.

Would they settle for the Rams pick? lol I might be willing to trade our own pick if I knew we were going to take Willis at 2 or the Giants pick. Reason being is that if that were the case then we wouldn't be in the market for a QB next draft so I wouldn't be as concerned with not having our own pick. If we made the trade and didn't take Willis then come next draft we would still be without a future QB and with us only having the Rams pick which will likely be at the end of the 1st we would have a hard time being able to draft that guy next year either.

Brusdar Graterol from the Dodgers would fit that role to a T. Was highly touted as a prospect, Routinely goes over 100mph, has some control problems(3.5BB/9) and most importantly is plump with room to grow. Don't think the Dodgers are interested in trading him, particularly since Jansen left them but if Avila is serious about filling that important void he should see what it would take to get him.

Big 10 still without a championship since 2000 and before that 1989, so in 32 years they've won 1 championship. That just doesn't seem possible.

I saw a stat that somebody posted on a page I follow on FB that said Pistons are shooting 29% on "good looks"(don't know what that classifies as) from 3 off of Cade's passes. Not sure what the league average is on "good looks" but let's conservatively say 35%, how many assists is he being robbed of by poor shooting?

It is a time honored tradition that the Tigers have a thicc reliever in their bullpen so not having one creates a major void. Cisnero is listed at 260 so perhaps he can start rooming with Paredes and try to get himself up to 280ish so he could fill that spot.

Washington hangs on for the 100-97 win. Cade with 22pts(11-22FG no FT attempts), 9 assists and 7 boards. Bagley with 25 and 5 boards. I watched the last quarter and a half and it was an entertaining game but Pistons were ultimately undone by their outside shooting, 6-32 on the night including McGruder going 1-12. Cade hit a couple clutch mid range jumpers in the last minute but forced an awkward shot at the rim in the 2nd to last possession and missed. Probably should've pulled it back out or passed instead of forcing that but oh well it happens. Porzingis looked like his 2016 self and killed us.

https://www.espn.com/nba/insider/story/_/id/33546525/2022-nba-mock-draft-how-top-prospects-fared-ncaa-men-basketball-tournament Espn's latest mock, has us taking Keegan Murray from Iowa with the 5th pick. They based the order on bpi rankings that's why we picked 5th. They had Chet, Smith, Paulo and Ivey going 1-4.

Yeah Tavai not having a package was hilarious, I also remember that happening to Gerald Alexander the safety out of Boise St. we drafted way back when. I think he either went in the 2nd or early 3rd and the hosts were like "were gonna try to get you more information on the pick but we werent expecting him to be drafted so early. "

Ill never forget the 08 draft, me and my roommates were throwing one last big party up in CMU before we left so like 30 of us were day drinking watching the draft. Cherilus gets picked and I believe it was Kiper who said something like "wow I had him as a 3rd round grade", that quote remains an inside joke among us during our fantasy drafts. Anytime somebody reaches for a player one of us will say "wow I had as a (insert later round) grade" Btw on the subject of Teez, yeah we know about his 40 but was that the reason he sucked? I only watched him a couple times and the times I watched him he was staying with the receiver he just couldn't make any plays on the ball.

Baddoo turns into Babe Ruth in the Spring. After torching the ball last spring as well he had that torrid first week and a half to the regular season only to struggle mightily till about Mid May before perking up again in the 2nd half. Hopefully this year he not only tops his overall numbers from last year but does it in a more consistent manner.

I don't remember if there were any elite bigs in it, I imagine there were but I thought I remember reading about him dominating that big global tournament over the summer of kids under 20?(I believe that was the age group)

Death, taxes, atleast 1 of the Castrai in the lineup.

Please tell me Duke isn't going to win it all, Gonzaga and Arizona both lost today as well as Baylor last round so Kansas is the only 1 seed left. The thought of Coach K winning a championship to end his career is making me nauseous.

Not sure if it was mentioned elsewhere but our old friend Andrew Miller retired, Maybin retired earlier this offseason as well so that makes Miggy the last man standing from that trade.

Now that it appears that the Pistons have a franchise guy in Cade, does that mean that they should play it safe in the draft and insure they get a guy that can help Cade and take a guy that may not have as high of ceiling but has a high floor and a relatively good chance of hitting his ceiling or do you go the other route and swing for the fences and go with a high ceiling high volatility guy with the mindset that if you whiff it's not that damaging since you have already have a young superstar anyway?

That 2018 draft is a painful reminder of just how tough it is to find and draft the right qb. Some pundits were hyping it to the 83 draft in terms of qbs and so far it produced 2 huge busts in Darnold and Rosen and a mini bust on his way to being a true bust in Mayfield. On a positive note it did produce two All Pros in Allen and Jackson but even Jackson wasn't really seen as the top tier heading in so out of the 4 guys that were 3 ended up busts.

God do I hope his fabled splitter is back.

The ESPN guys of Kiper, McShay, Miller and Jordan Reid came out with their latest positional and overall rankings, Hutch and Hamilton are the consensus 1 and 2. Nothing really of note other then they all still have Ojabo as the top olb and all say they expect him to still go in the 1st round or early 2nd at the latest so if they are to be believed any thoughts of him slipping till the 3rd to us isn't going to happen.
