Longgone

You’re not fooling anyone with this crap. Does this amuse you? There are people out there with real mental health problems, and this vapid trolling just makes sport of their issues. Go find something constructive to do.

Reddick doesn’t fit any of the criteria. Can’t play de in detroit’s system, can’t cover from the sam, probably isn’t a culture fit

The first thing the Lions will be looking for is a de who can set the edge and maintain gap integrity as well as rush, and secondly, maybe someone who can rush from the Sam position, but he also needs to drop and cover. Reddick isn’t stout on the edge, and he’s not really a cover backer.

They need someone to replace Hutchinson or Davenport, that ain’t Reddick.

Develop both at catcher and hope one of them pans out.

What’s Vest? What’s Holton? Foley is certainly not perfect or the ideal, but he’s been solid and not deserving of all the angst.

This is being way overstated here. He k’s 7/9, not all that egregious, and opponents hit .228 off of him. He’s a solid option if he’s healthy.

I doubt they are coming to Detroit, but I doubt they’re staying put either. They will go to the highest bidder.

Those were the days, my friend.

Normally, I avoid the game threads because of all the whiny angst, but you guys have all made it so much fun the last month or so. Thank you so much!

Stop it

All of the above

Quit listening to bots and liars.

I wouldn’t look at errors with a young player; look at his range, how quickly and smoothly he gets in position to receive the ball and make all the throws. Look at his overall athletic ability; speed, agility, explosiveness, arm strength. From that point of view, he’s looked pretty darn good.

The usual, talent and upside, he may earn a shot though.

What is this supposed to mean?

They wouldn’t cut Sudfeld, and leave an open roster spot, if they wanted to keep him on the 53. Maybe the practice squad.

No, he’s not better than those they cut.

Cut Sudfeld, after cuts put Iffy or Martin on IR, resign Sudfeld to 53, after 4 games and Iffy and Martin are ready, someone else will be hurt.

No one would claim Sudfeld.

People focus too much on stats with developing players. Here’s a guy with some natural bat to ball skills, but some flaws in his swing that were inhibiting his progress. In a year and a half, the yankees reworked his mechanics and then LA took a different approach. You can’t just incorporate these types of changes overnight, it takes time to build muscle memory. You always have to take a step back before you can go forward. If he corrects his flaws and stays with it consistently, you may have something.

Let me note that he’s just 21, was a 3rd baseman as an amateur, so he’s relatively new to catching. His arm is above average and he’s fairly athletic for a catcher. Give him time.

That would be expected of something named JustBaseball.

Need to see how severe the tear is. If it’s a partial, it could only be a few weeks, if severe, six months.

It’s true prospects often don’t work out, but what people fail to mention is proven, veteran ball players that you acquire often don’t work out either. Baseball is a cruel mistress. Which underlines the fact that sustained success likely comes from a deep pipeline that can overcome the inevitable failures.
