Phillips and Tettleton were both underrated and Scott Harris would have salivated over both of those guys.

I'm not saying it's likely, but I now I do wonder a bit if when the Tigers decided not to set up their own RSN, part of the reason was the possibility they could end up buying the this one at firesale prices. You don't need to be a Warren Buffet level investing guru to know that a lot LBOs end in failure.

What would scare me, and @buddha let me know your thoughts; is if the Bears realized that Fields would be a bigger weapon as a slash player, and they drafted Bryce Young to be their QB.

Hard pass. Not giving up that for a running back. Would rather just re-sign Jamal Williams.

I didn’t think that Staley would leave unless he was joining an Aaron Glenn staff. This may mean Glenn is staying. This also may mean Tanner Engstrand may receive a promotion to Assistant Head Coach now.

Larkin and Bertuzzi seem to have lost their chemisity - maybe it comes back if Bertuzzi's game comes around, but I'm looking for Lalonde to do some more line shuffling quickly if the #1 line doesn't pick up quickly after the break. You can't keep wasting Larkin's setup ability on guys who aren't using it.

Personally, I want my establishment Republicans back because I can't stand the Tea Party and MAGA "FU America" Republicans. I agree... they're going to have to come after Trump to defeat him, and then live with the consequences. I don't know if, as a party, they are ready to take that measure. They have a huge fear of losing those votes. But in my opinion, they have to stand up to TFG. Taken from a different POV: I am pretty certain that the Republicans know that if Trump gains the nomination, they lose the election, and maybe additional seats in the Senate or House... So... WHAT measures will they be willing to take to get someone else the nomination.? How far will they go? Because they know that they HAVE to have a different nominee, but how do you do that without losing either the MAGA vote, or Trump going off on a 3rd Party bender, which will destroy Republican chances and other offices (not just President) if he does that. They're in a tricky spot, right now, to say the least. But I'm glad... and they need to get through this "reformation" before I ever take them seriously again...

Molitor and Plesac mostly

Feature I found on Yount and the AS game... https://shepherdexpress.com/sports/brew-crew-confidential/robin-yount-only-made-three-all-star-teams-what-gives/

Cecil Cooper and Ben Ogilvie seem to be prominent. Throw in Ted Simmons and Dan Plesac https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Milwaukee_Brewers_award_winners_and_All-Stars

2 weeks from today pitchers and catchers report.

Phillips would be recognized a lot earlier for his versatility in today's game and the value spotted. I still remember when the Tigers signed him. It was the same time that ESPN got the MLB contract so it seems like they were covering the game more. It was the winter meetings and they were talking to Gammons in a hallway. He called it a big signing and said Phillips will do very well in Detroit. Back in the day when you found out stuff like that from TV rather than a tweet. Regarding Yount..... the rule that every team needs a player leads to guys being left off who deserve it. That's why ASG appearances should not be used to determine a player's historical value. Along with fan voting for starters.

Roster crunches. Was up againt guys like Ripkin and Tram early in his career and Puckett, Winfield, Henderson and Griffey at the end. playing in lil ole milwaukee didn't help.

Tim Corcoran...that man cast a long shadow

I don't think not using double-negatives won't ever either.

Drumpf will be pissed about that.

Interesting new poll from The Bullwerk. It's behind their paywall. Basically shows Trump with approximately 30% of the vote among Republicans for the nomination. He still retains about 70% of serious Trumpers. (I realize serious Trumpers is a bit of an oxymoron) and loses in a head to head race with DeSantis 52-30. About 10% want somebody else. Basically Trump should hope for a crowded field like 2016 so others can split the vote. Especially since I think most state nominating races are winner take all.
