the area immediately North of Ford Field is just about 40 acres. not sure which teams have facilities that close to their stadium.

I'm sure these meetings are important, but this meeting is really important - more important for the Lions than Carter. Holmes and Campbell have the franchise pointed in the right direction. I'll trust what ever call they (and Glenn) make on Carter.

good; would have been really annoying to have a 32-year old eating up at bats Schoop won't last to June McKinstry has a solid AAA track record of what Harris claims he wants from batters, and the LAD contingent knows him

decent mock here, expect for one pick https://www.pff.com/news/draft-2023-nfl-mock-draft-three-qbs-first-three-picks-colts-christian-gonzalez 3. DETROIT LIONS (VIA ARI): QB ANTHONY RICHARDSON, FLORIDA Trade: Detroit sends Nos. 6, 48, 81, 2024 1st, 2024 4th; Arizona sends No. 3

the amount of deliberate disinformation is hard to quantify as well; 6 seems likely to be the first inflection point in the draft, if Anderson, Carter and the 3 top QBs are gone

LOL

this CBS one makes sense to me: 16 Q Johnston, dropping from 6 to 16, picking up a 3rd (#97) from Washington and their 1st next year 18 B Robinson

where does Carter ever makes sense? if he is there at 18, would Holmes pass again?

this is Fox Sports mock draft/trade; 11 and 41 to Det for 6 and 152; that seems light for Det 6. TRADE: Tennessee Titans (from Detroit): Will Levis, QB, Kentucky It's hard to imagine Ryan Tannehill returning after this season as the Titans rebrand. They're close enough to move up and get their next quarterback in Levis. Tennessee has moved on from a ton of veterans this offseason, so the Titans package their top two picks (11 and 41) to get the No. 6 pick and a fifth-round pick back. Detroit now has four picks in the top 55, and Tennessee has a quarterback it can transition to over the next year.

today's Athletic mock: 6 Wilson (DE); 18 Banks (CB); and 27 Washington (TE). Guy is a unicorn but that is a lot to pay. Pass. Lions trade No. 48, 55, 183 and 194 to the Bills for 27 and 137 Surprise, surprise. Folks in Detroit might still be scarred by first-round tight ends, but I’m not.

I doubt Holmes does not move both up and down, but no trades could work as well

yes; they absolutely deserve the benefit of the doubt, no matter which way they fall on Carter

Holmes stayed put in 21 and 22 and the guys he wanted were still available and 7 and 2. Maybe that is just luck. But it is not impossible to believe that Anderson will be there at 6. If not, would be nice to trade down because the talent pool seems to be deep and wide but without elite players outside of Anderson and Bijan (and possibly Richardson). Of course, Holmes is obviously not afraid to move up when he wants a guy.

20 year old with a bad back? JFC. Hire Al and fire him again.

Mize and Skubal are already on 60 day IL, they have 42 guys total right now. Garcia and Pacheco would be next out the door IMO

Quincy Nieporte was Eastern League MVP - I would think that would earn him a promotion to Tol even though he he is not really a prospect

CBS mock has Carter to Lions at 6 and Anderson to LV at 7. Cannot see Det passing on Anderson, especially for Carter.

Short is having a good spring, now play some OF, but having one more option means he is Toledo bound

Baddoo in RF for the non-televised game is not a coincidence

Short probably will not go north but he’s having a great spring

A former evangelical explained this once and I found it illuminating Professing your Christianity has replaced being Christian with these people It is really just that simple - I am Christian because I say I am. My unchristian acts have no more relevance than the lack of any Christian acts. They see no hypocrisy in having Christian on your bio as you degrade your fellow Americans

AJ likes Davis “He’s right in the middle of it,” Hinch said. “His at-bat quality in the minors has been very good. He hasn’t gotten the opportunity in the big leagues. We want to make sure he gets a look at a number of different spots. With all the left-handed outfielders we have, he’s a perfect complement if he can continue to put up really good at-bats.”

pissing away 320 PAs on Grossman netted them Chris Anglin - the lesson being: just cut Schoop

Harris should see if someone like Gleyber Torres is available in return for Boyd

Kelenic has had 3 long looks over 2 years and the jury is still out if he will hit. Same for Tork. Either he can or he cannot. But drafting CJ Cron 1/1 is really disappointing.
