Hill might have already been gone from the org. But it sounds like you agree that Baddoo and Carpenter both should have been higher in the pecking order than Thompson. If anything, I could have been onboard with dumping Reyes for Thompson, exchanging one journeyman for another. Again—a moot point, given ML’s intel.

I would have been pissed if they had given AB’s to a career 4A player vs Hill, Baddoo, Cameron or Carpenter, each of which were considerably younger and are/were still prospects. Giving playing time to a career minor leaguer, who was basically organizational filler, in an effort to win 1-2 more games during a lost season would have been dumb. I’m still pissed that we wasted so many AB’s on Reyes and the Castros as it was.

Yes, but you can verify qualitatively and assign a value to it.

I don’t think this will happen this season, with Schoop and Miggy being the particular suspects. Harris has made it clear he wants the kids getting the playing time.

Speaking of Robbie, I think he’s still a free agent. Kind of surprised since Atlanta had so famously fixed him.

for everyone's sanity, I would not give any credence to any mock that shows us selecting a TE in the first round.

really don't understand this, but I did follow you on Twitter anyways.

SB gonna be Philly v Cincinnati

How about the Jaguars in it until the end vs the Chiefs, when we beat them 40-14? The way that the Lions were playing at the end (minus Carolina game), we might have been able to surprise some teams had we made the playoffs.

Yes. Hoping All-Star break. If he shows anything at Toledo, he’ll get the chance.

Deservedly so—he’s legit. Was only 22 at Erie last season.

Sorry, but Kevin Costner proved you wrong when he selected Vontae Mack (no matter what).

This has the potential to become the least interesting docuseries ever.

Isn’t the primary reason to draft a QB more of a developmental opportunity? Of course having a good backup QB in the event of an injury wouldn’t be awful either—if Goff had a serious injury, it would likely sabotage the season.

I wish those scamps could have been adopted together. At least they can FaceTime each other.

I enjoy the individual player write-ups. I don’t give a shit about their rankings, whether within the organization or compared to other teams prospects.

This. Seemed like a good dude, but not bummed he’s gone.

this also describes Candelario.

Didn’t see the appeal. I’m OK with this.

Schoop can’t be traded. I think that would have happened by now.

Even Saskatchewan?

I think they'll keep him around as a useful utility guy, but really hoping that someone else (Maton, Kreidler, Wenceel) pushes him out of a starting spot before the AS break.

nothing new to see here--I think everything about Malloy was exhausted in his dedicated thread at the time of the trade.

why aren't we exploiting the poor kids in Canada?
