Judging by his triple slash numbers Haase has had a solid spring, after his disastrous finish to the season last year I basically convinced myself that he just had a lucky couple months and not to expect anything from him going forward but if he indeed proves to not be a flash in the pan and gives the Tigers even passable numbers that is an unexpected bonus, atleast in my mind and projections.

Bobby Wagner to the Rams 5/50(no word on the guarantees), yeah just give us that 2023 32nd pick now and be done with it.

I don't think he will ever be confused with Clemente but I don't think he's Johnny Damon either so basically I say it's good enough for either position. Atleast from what I have read. Of course in this day and age with less and less traffic on the base paths arm strength and accuracy doesn't mean as much as it might have before.

From what I understand just like all other facets of running an organization the Dodgers spend many times the amount on scouting and development as other teams so that is another reason why they always have a deep system.

Barring a setback or injury to Cade I fully expect the Pistons to atleast be in competition for one of the play in spots next season and if they aren't that will be really disappointing. Since Cade has started hitting his stride a couple months ago they've basically played at or close to that level so you'd expect with another off season of growth from him, a full season of Bagley(assuming they resign him) and a top pick that they should play even better next season.

I don't see the Lions taking a QB this draft either. I think first and foremost they just don't love any of them but I also think they want to give Goff a full year with better weapons and health for him and see how things go. Him and the team played much better the last 6 weeks after he returned from injury and St. Brown emerged, I think Holmes and company want to see if they can do that for a full year. If a Trevor Lawrence was sitting there I'm sure they would take him but that isn't the case.

That's why I never bought into the folks that essentially say non lottery 1st rounders are worthless. Yeah the likelihood of you finding a superstar with one of those picks is pretty damn small but you can get valuable pieces that could be a third or possibly even 2nd option on a championship caliber team.

I saw Victor Reyes not only hit a HR but it was an absolute bomb, perhaps this offseason's 25lb of muscle is the 25lb of muscle that finally does get him to develop some HR power.

Not Tigers related but Pujols just signed a 1 year deal with the Cardinals. He's sitting on 679 HRs, he hit 17 last year so there's a chance he can get to 700 this year if he gets enough ABs. Would be cool to not only see him get there but to see him do it in a Cardinals uniform.

Yeah that was pretty tough. Wordle 280 5/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜🟨 ⬜⬜🟨⬜⬜ ⬜🟨⬜🟨⬜ ⬜⬜🟨🟨⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

It is pretty crazy that the Knicks have only won one playoff series since 2000 and only have one 50 win season since then as well.

Of course if you're of the belief that the team can win with Goff if we put enough talent around him so no need to draft a qb then having 2 top 6 picks and 4 in the top 34 would be awfully appealing. Adding for instance Thibs/Walker/Hamilton, Drake London and whoever you prefer at 32 and 34 could really transform this team.

Would they settle for the Rams pick? lol I might be willing to trade our own pick if I knew we were going to take Willis at 2 or the Giants pick. Reason being is that if that were the case then we wouldn't be in the market for a QB next draft so I wouldn't be as concerned with not having our own pick. If we made the trade and didn't take Willis then come next draft we would still be without a future QB and with us only having the Rams pick which will likely be at the end of the 1st we would have a hard time being able to draft that guy next year either.

Brusdar Graterol from the Dodgers would fit that role to a T. Was highly touted as a prospect, Routinely goes over 100mph, has some control problems(3.5BB/9) and most importantly is plump with room to grow. Don't think the Dodgers are interested in trading him, particularly since Jansen left them but if Avila is serious about filling that important void he should see what it would take to get him.

Big 10 still without a championship since 2000 and before that 1989, so in 32 years they've won 1 championship. That just doesn't seem possible.

I saw a stat that somebody posted on a page I follow on FB that said Pistons are shooting 29% on "good looks"(don't know what that classifies as) from 3 off of Cade's passes. Not sure what the league average is on "good looks" but let's conservatively say 35%, how many assists is he being robbed of by poor shooting?

It is a time honored tradition that the Tigers have a thicc reliever in their bullpen so not having one creates a major void. Cisnero is listed at 260 so perhaps he can start rooming with Paredes and try to get himself up to 280ish so he could fill that spot.

Washington hangs on for the 100-97 win. Cade with 22pts(11-22FG no FT attempts), 9 assists and 7 boards. Bagley with 25 and 5 boards. I watched the last quarter and a half and it was an entertaining game but Pistons were ultimately undone by their outside shooting, 6-32 on the night including McGruder going 1-12. Cade hit a couple clutch mid range jumpers in the last minute but forced an awkward shot at the rim in the 2nd to last possession and missed. Probably should've pulled it back out or passed instead of forcing that but oh well it happens. Porzingis looked like his 2016 self and killed us.

https://www.espn.com/nba/insider/story/_/id/33546525/2022-nba-mock-draft-how-top-prospects-fared-ncaa-men-basketball-tournament Espn's latest mock, has us taking Keegan Murray from Iowa with the 5th pick. They based the order on bpi rankings that's why we picked 5th. They had Chet, Smith, Paulo and Ivey going 1-4.

Yeah Tavai not having a package was hilarious, I also remember that happening to Gerald Alexander the safety out of Boise St. we drafted way back when. I think he either went in the 2nd or early 3rd and the hosts were like "were gonna try to get you more information on the pick but we werent expecting him to be drafted so early. "

Ill never forget the 08 draft, me and my roommates were throwing one last big party up in CMU before we left so like 30 of us were day drinking watching the draft. Cherilus gets picked and I believe it was Kiper who said something like "wow I had him as a 3rd round grade", that quote remains an inside joke among us during our fantasy drafts. Anytime somebody reaches for a player one of us will say "wow I had as a (insert later round) grade" Btw on the subject of Teez, yeah we know about his 40 but was that the reason he sucked? I only watched him a couple times and the times I watched him he was staying with the receiver he just couldn't make any plays on the ball.

Baddoo turns into Babe Ruth in the Spring. After torching the ball last spring as well he had that torrid first week and a half to the regular season only to struggle mightily till about Mid May before perking up again in the 2nd half. Hopefully this year he not only tops his overall numbers from last year but does it in a more consistent manner.

I don't remember if there were any elite bigs in it, I imagine there were but I thought I remember reading about him dominating that big global tournament over the summer of kids under 20?(I believe that was the age group)

Death, taxes, atleast 1 of the Castrai in the lineup.
