  1. I agree, with starters you can safely assume they've reached muscle failure and need full recovery. With relievers, there are so many more variables.
  2. They know a great deal about recovery cycles, four days rest is generally optimal, but may vary with some individuals, with peak strength occurring on the fifth day after muscle failure and recovery. Muscle failure is variable. Extra rest is counter productive, as the muscle will begin to lose strength after peak. The every fifth day cycle for starting pitchers is based on results, not convention.
  3. Not to be the contrarian, but I like Vierling at third. I think he has more in the tank.
  4. They have one of the most effective, potent and explosive offenses in the NFL, so there isn't too much to complain about.
  5. It's better, there are real issues with MLB that neither side seems willing to adequately address.
  6. I'm sure they did. Most teams wouldn't want to push the cash flow hit into the future.
  7. I believe any deferred payments are added to the luxury tax calculation for the period of the contract, but adjusted to present value, it is not postponed to the period beyond the contract.
  8. Except you’re singling out Holmes, all teams do this. Do you pay any attention to the rate of attrition in college football and the NFL? If you didn't take a chance on previously injured players, you'd be drawing from a very small pool.
  9. This is illogical. Football is a violent sport. The majority of players have some type of injury history, or soon will. Every team takes chances on them. People on here were upset the Lions didn't trade for Chase Young, what is he but a walking history of injuries?
  10. Moseley was a fluke, tearing the opposite knee.
  11. Starr can hit the upper 90' but is hittable, Coker low 90's but has more of a mix, both are just org fodder. I'd rather see them grab young guys who may have some development left, but I guess you need some of these guys also.
  12. I usually wake up in the church parking lot with a pocket full of cocktail weanies and no memories anyway.
  13. The Rule 5 draft is the most exciting day in sports.
  14. You can, but you won't want to.
  15. I think you've only seen the diminished version of himself, unfortunately.
  16. And the issues that drive that are not the draft.
  17. The draft is only one aspect that promotes competitive balance, but baseball is the only major US sport that contains a gross economic disparity among members that continues to be an issue.
  18. Public minimum demand means nothing, it's just a ploy in which you are placing way too much stock.
  19. It's a negotiation, one side usually starts high, the other low, both are serious, neither are reflective of the actual worth, the market dictates that.
  20. He'd be fine on the right side. He has very little experience on the left and it should be expected that side will take some time.
  21. He gets off by committing acts of violence against women, whether consensual or not, that is a deal breaker for me.
  22. There is no 1,2 or 3 wide receiver, there are roles in an offense based on the types of routes generally run. Jamo is a Y, Reynolds is a Y. Chark was an ideal X. DPJ will probably fill the X role, which has been sorely lacking.
  23. You only get a comp pick if you don’t sign anyone else decent and I believe they plan on signing free agents, and i think the depth on the dline is fine, but if Jacobs or Sutton goes down, they are in trouble.
