  1. Jones was a great story last season. I just have my doubts that there’s a repeat season from him.
  2. Could they really get that much? I realize the Dodgers have a good farm system, but I’m more interested in where the prospects stack up amongst the league rather than just solely within an organization. If the prospects are a top 25, a couple top 50s and another top 100, and the current starting pitcher is legit, then the Tigers pull a Boras and take that to market. Who knows, maybe the Mets or Phillies up the ante on the Dodgers and the Dodgers add on top? Seems nutty, I probably wouldn’t do it from the other side, but who knows if this escalates.
  3. Its rule 5 draft day. Shoutout to @Jim Cowan.
  4. Add in another RP or two.
  5. Underpromise & overdeliver.
  6. We can get this hammered out before noon.
  7. We don’t know for sure. I realize there’s only one more guaranteed season of Skubal on this deal. Any team acquiring him risks losing him to free agency, and who knows if a qualifying offer will be a thing after a new CBA is put into place. So that kind of puts a damper on a return. The Tigers are playoff contenders and have one of the very best pitchers in the sport. Losing him creates a hole in those playoff hopes. Of course, they could fill that slot and raise the rest of the roster skill set to offset that. But to lose a SP of that magnitude really puts a strain on a club. So that kind of puts a premium on a return. Maybe I’m wrong, but I just don’t see a team offering enough to make the Tigers willing to trade Skubal. They’ll take calls, do their due diligence, yada, yada. I just think in the end the Tigers keep him for the 2026 season. And if some team does find a way to pry him away, the cost will be vast.
  8. Go back to a computer system and take the back room discussion out of it.
  9. Wow, that seems surprising to me.
  10. Someone needs a hobby.
  11. Have the Browns been extended an invite?
  12. Are there any Canadian universities that want a crack at it?
  13. They did hold Purdue to 30 points. Did the committee ignore that?
  14. 68 because of the Tuesday & Wednesday night play in games.
  15. student athletes
  16. Not surprising.
  17. Stewart has mellowed over time.
  18. I wish this bracket reracked like the NFL. I wish the same for all playoffs, really. I understand the complexities with the NCAABB tourney and the scheduling and locations over each weekend.
  19. Guy in the roster that you don’t want to tangle with?
  20. I would say a lack of “I” has killed the internet as well as making every day life more complicated, but that’s just my opinion.
  21. Kenta Maeda agrees with Lee.
  22. In fairness, it’s going to be tough to make the playoffs season after season after season after season. Every team is going to have a down year or two at some point.
  23. I just want to see the dates/times. I don’t need the debate. I know someone in the room. I hope to see him at an upcoming holiday event by which our paths have crossed. I’m just kind of curious to know how things go down in the room.
  24. I don’t know about his passion for the game. I just see there’s a severe lack of availability. The latter might very well be due to the former, sure. Whichever, don’t want him on my team.
  25. I don’t see Michigan in there either.
