I want wind speed, wind direction, humidity, temperature... etc.

Those are simply players that Harris has zero interest in. He's looking for a different "type" of player... both pitchers and position players who dominate the strike zone. That means he would be interested in Marte/ Collier/ Petty/ Stoudt/ Aguiar... And none of the guys you listed. And with both Eduardo and Lorenzen... I think the trade price starts with Collier/ Petty/ Aguiar... Just my 2 cents...

I offer to add to their playlist: Dead Man Walking - Bruce Springsteen Little Electric Chair - Iggy Pop Death by Electric Chair - Corroded Deth Renegade - Styx ("Hangman is coming down from the gallows, And I don't have very long... The _____ who had it made Retrieved for a bounty... And had a high price on my head Lawman said, "Get him dead or alive" Now it's for sure he'll see me dead... Nevermore to go astray This will be the end today of the wanted man...") Send me to the 'Lectric Chair - Bessie Smith (One can dream... right?)

The perfect trade partner to me is the Rangers. The perfect trade (to me... not necessarily anyone else), is sending Eduardo (and let them negotiate an extension with him or a buyout of his opt-out), along with Lange, Lorenzen, Carpenter, some cash if needed, for Evan Carter (another Riley Greene type), Sebastian Walcott (high hit tool big RH'ed SS, or 3B'man), and pitchers Tekoah Roby, Mitch Bratt and Marc Church. The pitchers all control the strike zone. Church the highest upside with closer material. Roby and Bratt (rightie and lefty) end-of-rotation/ long reliever types... IMO.

We also match up really well with the Rangers... But I'm not certain how difficult they are to work with... on trades for example... They've got at least a few guys I'd be dying to add to our team...

Doesn't fit Harris's profile. Hard pass. I wouldn't even have any interest in asking. No thanks. -
Detroit could actually use him for a little bit... A Lefty Catcher and 1B'man... I mean, as long as Cooperstown doesn't mind waiting...?

PS: To answer your question: I think Eduardo plus Lange gets you the prospect you want. However, to my point, I would look for something different: I would hunt either Evan Carter or Sebastian Walcott from the Rangers. Either would be a tough ask from the rangers that they will not want to part with. But offer Eduardo, Foley, and Kerry Carpenter or Parker Meadows... and we might be able to swing Evan Carter. Or offer Eduardo, Foley, and Cristian Santana... and we might be able to swing Sebastian Walcott. But I'm just guessing... And they would have to probably add some lower level lotto tickets to even out the trade but too many details there for me to WAG...

Would Harris prefer Acuna or Foscue at 2B? Both in the Rangers top 7 prospects (Acuna a 55 high-hit, high-OBP, high-speed but struggles with breaking balls and Foscue a 50 with high-hit, high-OBP hits almost all FB's sa well as breakers but not much speed or arm...). It seems like we already have both of those guys (Wenceel/ Jung) already in the Org. Just asking...

Says Vladimir Putin. Propaganda, happily repeated, verbatim, by DPS. Your "yards" is not correct, not even close. "Elastic defense" is PURE Russian propaganda which you've repeated WORD-FOR-WORD. And Ukraine has not "lost" western made equipment. They've recovered most of it and it's in repair shops as we speak. Oh wait, did you expect ZERO equipment or human lives lost in trying to kick Russian invaders out? This is NOT a video game BTW... there are actual DEAD Ukrainian soldiers trying to save their land from the Russian Nazi's who are murdering their wives and children, or kidnapping them. Expecting ZERO equipment or human lives to be lost in a war is a completely ASININE expectation, IMO. Try finding credible sources... not Vladimir Putin or any of his lying propaganda outlets. Question: why are you so EAGER to repeat Russian propaganda? Are you Russian? Do you LOVE fascism or HATE democracy? I mean.. you are actually EAGER to propagate Russian lies. I'm just asking...
-
Good progress... Despite what Vladimir Putin and Digital Pig Smuggler are declaring.

What's wrong with him? I mean... how the heck did he not get drafted, at all, after a 1.960 OPS season, batting .521, OBP .675... 32 HR's in 45 games... DH only? He's 32 years old and still in college (started late after hitching around the planet for 10 years...)? He has a wooden leg?

I mastered my multiplication tables at 6 years old. -
Well that was an extremely efficient way of saying what I just said... Kudos for brevity!

The question is: Does Teddy want to become primarily and only a backup at this stage of his career? From the Lions perspective, it's better to have him on board and learning the playbook ASAP, if they want him as primary backup. If Goff goes down, Teddy saves the season (in theory). Maybe Sudfeld is actually a pretty good backup. But there's no way for anyone to know that, even the coaching staff. For 100% comfort-level on having a backup that saves a season versus stumbles us out of the playoffs... money is on Bridgewater, not Sudfeld. But from Teddy's perspective, if he's stuck as a backup for right now, it's better for him to NOT sign at this point and see which team (Lions or otherwise) runs into a situation in which they need a season-saving QB like him to step in... I don't know how many playoff-level teams are out their that are uncomfortable with their backup QB situation... I don't think many as no one wants to lose a season to this type of situation... And the Lions may even be comfortable with where their QB room is at... but Teddy definitely adds a huge boost to the Lions' room if they can get him to sign on...

I hand calculated team and individual stats. From memory. -
Trump & MAGA are not just a bunch of deplorables, they're a basket full of incandescently stupid. Trump I've known to be that (simple terminology: Moron) for over 40 years, a constant display of his abject stupidity. Maga-land has decided to get on board that crazy train and overthrow the Constitution of the United States in favor of an incandescently stupid moron who wants to be a fascist dictator in the Kim Jong Un vein. And they're good with that. Sounds about right.

Just a bunch of ****ing liars. Trump and all his supporters are nothing but full of **** liars.

Just my 2 cents but... Against lefties I'd like to see Rogers at the 6 spot and Baez in the 7 spot. And against righties Rogers 7 and Baez 8 or 9. -
And I would prefer one Top-3 from an Org, one top-20-25 in an Org... and then the 3rd can be whatever lottery ticket is allowed...

Wow...! EXACTLY the point of just playing the game today...! -
He's moving up to AAA? Or just having another monster day...?

Oppenheimer is playing the long game. They don't care about a 1 or 2 weekend not-leading box office. Barbie is a huge fad and will die down quickly. That being said... I was deciding on Indiana Jones vs. MI vs. Oppenheimer this weekend. I want to see all 3. But I do not like jam-packed theatres so I don't mind waiting a couple weeks so a crowd dies down. But I still check anyways... Mission Impossible and Oppenheimer were packed in every time slot, every day, every theatre this weekend (I'm close enough to 3 different AMC's...). I saw Indiana Jones. Empty theatre except me so I had it all to myself. The movie was GREAT! They did a great job. I'm guessing the theatres will be filled perfectly (under half-full) where I'll want to see MI in a week or two... and Oppenheimer a week or two after that. I'm sorry... What were you saying about this Barbie-thing? I do remember my sister playing Barbie's a little bit but my memory is really hazy on that. For some reason... I seem to remember my GI Joe much better... But... back to Oppenheimer: You'll be hearing Oppenheimer pretty heavily, IMO, over the next 8 weeks or so. Just a guess.

Good day for Jobe... CHEERS!
