entire article makes zero sense; getting an elite FA for just 5 years would be a coup for any team

present power for Latin American teens is something that Avila always seemed fascinated with i don't know what I talking about obviously, but it seems that hit tool and other abilities are more important present skills for these kids, and then you hope they can grow into power

Joe Buck is just roasting the Vikings. "I assume they know they are down 18"

Darnold's getting a lot of cash from someone, but he probably cost himself well over $50M with back to back stinkers

I was there; exciting and awful at the same time.

isn't Saleh a minority?

Skubal came in higher (+2M) than predicted. Not sure if anything can be read into that.

Tigers Tarik Skubal (4.114): $10.15MM agreement today (per Jon Heyman of the New York Post) Casey Mize (4.111): $2.34MM agreement reached today (via Mark Feinsand of MLB.com) Jake Rogers (4.040): $2.64MM agreement reached today (via FanSided’s Robert Murray) Will Vest (3.100): $1.4MM agreement today (per Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press) Zach McKinstry (3.099): $1.65MM agreement reached in November Jason Foley (3.033): $3.15MM agreement today (per Petzold) Matt Vierling (3.026): $3.005MM agreement today (per Petzold) Andy Ibanez (2.170): $1.4MM agreement reached in November Beau Brieske (2.134):

I think there is some real risk that the Lions get raided at every level. Teams see how popular, praised and successful they have become and everyone wants a hit of that.

the thing about Davis or Ownzurike and really anyone else, is that if Brad and Dan know you have "It" - what it takes to be a Detroit Lion - that is a huge bonus. Even if there was someone more talented than Davis, he may not have It. I think Davis, Zeitler, Levi, and Pascal all come back.

so the extra 17th game is at KC? is that part of the usual formula? or is the NFL thinking about the monster ratings? the networks will fight each other tooth and claw for that game

right now, there is a clear role for Tork, as they still need RH power generally, and a RH complement to Keith at 1b and Carpenter at DH. Tork is the most likely player to give them that.

Greene is not being moved to RF; he does not have the arm, and by multiple measures, he was the best fielding LF in baseball last year.

Torres had a playoff surge as leadoff hitter so that might continue, or 2nd? Meadows/Torres/Greene/Bregman/Carpenter/Vierling/Keith/Sweeney/Rogers Dingler/McKinstry/Perez/ + one open rotating spot (Baez, Tork, Jung, Ibanez?)

Not to defend any incompetent Lions executive, but I notice that no one ever leaks: "I was really hoping the Raiders took Calvin, because JaMarcus Russell is a HOF QB." The player they really wanted is always a HOF, not Ryan Leaf.

The Athletic had a story that a lot of scouts see no QBs with a first round grade this year. Sanders and Ward are default picks for NYG and LV because they don't have anyone. In addition to JJ, I wonder if Hooker would have a market? If Johnson leaves and goes somewhere without a QB, would he want Hooker?

Iffy gave them something which was nice, so would love to see some AA at least part time on Sunday. not to be negative but Martin was inactive again, sitting behind practice squad guys and street free agents. yikes!

yes to Bo; no to Tork. they are committed to Vlad at 1B, so Tork is worth little to most teams and very, very little to Tor. really hard to match up with Tor as Bo coming off his worst year and multiple injuries Toronto needs to make playoffs or everyone is out at the end of the season, so any trade needs to be for ML players who can help them reach WC. sounds like they are hopeful they can sign Vlad, but know Bo is leaving, so maybe? Jung is the start, but what to add? Jung + Vierling is too much IMO for just 1 sure year of Bo

I would be shocked if Det and Minn do not play each other twice the next 3 weeks.

they really need a bye week to rest

what a great season!

where is Gibbs?

Public Service Announcement: If you hover over someone's avatar, you can choose IGNORE Works very well.

I think will we see a lot of Tim Patrick, Brock Wright, Craig Reynolds and Sione Vaki after halftime, and then Hooker as well.

get 2 more for playoffs
