  1. Zabel has the looks of a Glasgow 2.0... Which would be end of the 2nd/ 3rd round value. I don't believe he obliterates opponents. He is not a Penei Sewell... he's more of a Jack-of-All-Trades with a chance to start. They look for domination in the 1st round and Zabel isn't that... They very well may really like the guy... But I think they will have him properly valued as a late 2nd round guy. Along with quite a few other 2nd/3rd round O-Lineman who have some promise... I think they take a pass-rusher they love, or a run-stopping DE with pass-rush upside... or a CB that they love... In the 1st round. I don't see them taking Zabel in the 1st. Just my 2 cents...
  2. Aaahhh... It's the IMPORANT issues of our times that I see you are concerned about... Like our Democracy going up in flames...
  3. Trump: "I'm going to **** all over the Constitution of the United States. Because I, and I ALONE will tell you what the law is. If I want to **** you in the ASS, I can do it... because I AM the law. There IS no more Constitution. ISN'T THAT RIGHT, MAGA"?" MAGA: "WOO HOO!!! CHEERS!!!"
  4. I think two things: B) I don't believe that Ivey will be worth the 2nd contract... to the Detroit Pistons. Based on how he would be ideally used on the Pistons. I think he is worth far, far more to another team that is willing to take a chance that Ivey blossoms into their #1 or #2, guy. But to us... 6th man? A) I think despite the injury... teams will take a chance on Ivey specifically because of the "other team" factor in (B). There's a chance he gets to be that #1 or #2. On another team. I think there are teams that will take that chance. But I'm just guessing.
  5. This is where I am most at. It's what keyed me to this idea. And you just verbalized it straight outta my head. So... Simply... THIS.
  6. So is trying to rape a country... Which Trump has no problem doing whatsoever: 'Panic' in Ukraine as leaked confidential Trump peace plan astounds: report Revealed: Trump’s confidential plan to put Ukraine in a stranglehold
  7. Putin = paper tiger.
  8. Lack of courage. Scared of Putin. I would've sent 95-ish K troops in immediately after Ukraine pushed Russian troops out of the north and out of Kherson city (across the Dnieper River. And declared a No-Fly zone over all territories west of the Dnieper. That means American air defense and Air Force squadrons to enforce it. But that's just me. YMMV.
  9. It's about time someone decided to actually defend Ukraine against Russia's Fascist Imperialism Gutless **** and Rapist Trump would rather rape Ukraine.
  10. Start the season out with him in the bullpen. They can monitor his innings with him that way, work with him at the MLB level refining anything with his pitches that they need to, including his new ones (especially those...) There are lots of missed games due to weather early on... it would be easy to use a 4-man rotation and then swing guys/ starters as needed (Maeda, Cobb, Mize, Brieske, Holton... all guys who could be both long guys as well as swing starters...). After a month or so... they can start to stretch Jobe out and then slot him into the rotation when they are ready. They can do the same thing at the end of the season, only in reverse... if they need to keep him to an innings limit. Just my 2 cents.
  11. The flipside is... Even if it's a 4th or 5th guy... but he fits the team much better than Ivey does... And given what else might be included in a trade package... Yes... I would be listening. It would at least have to include said player... plus that 1st. I'm not certain what else, in either direction... makes it work... But I also think even despite the injury... his trade value is on the upswing. And if he can come back before the season is done and doesn't "miss a beat" when he gets back... I think it at least has to be considered... And I definitely want to sign Beasley.
  12. Which is what our top 10 prospects is now starting to look like... All our best prospects, aside from Jobe... are position players.
  13. Definitely noteworthy. But the big question coming up soon will be... How does the team afford both he and Cade...?
  14. Would trading him be a wise move? Does the Pistons' future salary structure improve if Ivey is moved? What kind of package in return would be possible? Just floating some questions here...
  15. Let's try one last play here: Say Buffalo and Stevie agree on draft compensation... let's just say for example it's a 3rd upgradeable to a 2nd based on playing time (average minutes TOI > 18 = draft pick upgrade...). Is there any interest in giving Cozens a 2nd chance shot with McLellan & the Wings? Does the upgradeable 3rd seem equitable? Veleno + Berggren + salary filler (Petry or Holl?) also match up? As you might be able to tell... I have an interest in the Wings getting him and "rehabilitating" him... I'd like to see him start on the 3rd line with Rasmussen and Soderblom... or squeeze in Tarasenko there if necessary... A lot of offense... may need to be protected on defense some... But room for growth...
