    And the new cba definitely gives them incentive to have Greene and Torkelson on the roster day 1, so Greene is likely committed to consistent time.

    If they don't designate him it actually means 100% of dead money is this year. If they do post June 1, it is split between this year and next. Only thing about the post June 1 is they don't get the cap relief until then per HongBit's post

    So does this mean the subcommittee was going against the rest of the players wishes prior to this? At least a deal is done and we it is going to be a crazy month!

    No more 7 inning double headers or runners on 2nd to start extra innings.

    And the trainer quoted in the article (from MLB so take that with a grain of salt) is for the draft.

    https://www.mlb.com/news/international-draft-cba-negotiations So the aggregate bonus & for the 20 round international draft (600 players) is more than was spent on over 1000 players in the last period prior to the pandemic. So the international prospects would actually get more $ overall. No team could pass on a selection. They expect $21-23 million more to be spent on international players with this system.

    And from the initial reports, the first picks bonus was higher than any bonus received from this year's signing period. They were set bonuses based on slot, but overall the bonuses to all drafted international players were for more $ than the $ paid to the same amount of players in the last international period.

    Like the revenue sharing and floor, hate the hard cap. I'd rather see a lower soft cap with only financial penalties so an owner can choose to go over if they want and that tax gets spread to the other teams. I really dislike the draft pick/international pool penalties.

    I could also say the same of some of the gains made by the players. I was responding specifically to Lee's post.
  11. 4hzglory
    Agree

    You are definitely right on the expanded playoffs. Some of the others can be debated if they are better for the owners or the overall good of the game
  13. 4hzglory
    They locked them out because the players were rightfully prepared to strike. The owner's would have been happy to play on the previous deal. There are very few of these changes that are improvements to the owner's.

    It was the final one before postponing any games. They made that pretty clear at the time.
  15. 4hzglory
    I get this, but then the players using the argument that they want more competitive balance is completely contrary to this. The higher CBT does nothing for the competitive balance and getting the lower payrolls to spend more. If anything, it probably does the opposite as they will look for even more ways to be more "efficient" like the Rays as they are less able to compete for the higher priced players.

    Yeah, Hutch is definitely ahead of Thibodeaux for me. IMO Hutch tested as well or better in the areas that matter the most for an edge. And I trust Hutch's work ethic considerably more.
  17. 4hzglory
    Me too. I could definitely take him over Hutchison as I think we have a better front 4 than back 7 and watching almost all of Hamilton's games the past 3 seasons, he can completely change how a defense is played. His instincts and game speed are as good as anyone I have seen. His ability to make plays at the line of scrimmage or in the back end of the defense are definitely different than a normal safety. And he is one I would definitely trust GPS time more than 40 time as he was definitely one of the fastest players on the field. I definitely have no problem taking Hutch and probably would do it myself, but Hamilton is definitely my next choice.

    The former players on MLB radio say the players are all for the larger bases, so it doesn't seem like a major issue.
  19. 4hzglory
    I'm not 100% sure. I just have heard them say that is the biggest part of the reason. Maybe the larger bases will be softer and more tapered?
  20. 4hzglory
    It's also to help with the "slick bases" issue and hopefully prevent some injuries.
  21. 4hzglory
    I really enjoyed it also.

    There is a pretty significant advantage in that his offer to make him a restricted FA will likely be $7.2 mil as he likely won’t meet the thresholds to increase it to $11 plus million. Then, if they want they can match any offer he gets and don’t have to outbid everyone else. They also get to see if he fits the culture as Betrayer said. I like this move. I am definitely upset we didn’t move Grant.

    He was always expected to be the HC in waiting, just no one thought it would be this soon. He's elevated their recruiting in the year he had been there. Players wanted him, recruits wanted him. He will be learning on the job coaching, but the program would have taken a significant step back in talent with early signing day in 2 weeks as well as the transfer portal if they didn't make this move. He is the main reason they actually have a couple 5 stars in the 2022 and 2023 class and are getting some recruits from Ohio that Ohio State wants. IMO a great hire, al be it one with risk. A soon to be 36 year old head coach along with a 29 year old offensive coordinator both who are great recruiters. Keeping almost all of the staff (even though Kelly tried to give them huge raises to follow him). There will definitely be mistakes on game day, but it definitely brings new blood and energy into the program.

    Maybe. I think the push for Brown is because Ewers coming early means both Miller and McCord are gone. But could be. Montgomery is interesting Both ND and OSU offered him early, partly in an attempt to get his brother. If Ewers had been here this spring, I think he'd for sure be gone, but since he didn't arrive until fall and is already getting paid, I think he stays. All it takes is an injury to Stroud next year and he is playing early. If all 3 go, the QB room is definitely in trouble behind Stroud, which is why I think at least 1 stays and I believe it will be Ewers. It will definitely be interesting to see what happens.
  25. 4hzglory
    I think Ewers will stay as he is still so young and all he needs is 1 year of playing to be a top pick. I do think Miller and McCord are likely to transfer as it's unlikely they get any real playing time.
