Ryan was a hitter until he was 24, and then lost nearly two years to tommy john.
-
People place way too much import on the rankings from media. Like the top 4 LA outfielders. Was Hope actually 4th? Depends on the timing and the evaluator.
-
The MLB deadline didn't apply. The Tigers held an auction. All interested bidders received the opportunity to offer their best bids and up the ante if they chose. The Tigers chose the offer they liked the best.
-
If that offer were actually made, it was likely earlier and an offer to buy out arb years at a premium in exchange for a year or two of free agency, and it was likely an opener for negotiations, which were rebuffed by the agent.
-
This isn't complicated. Skubal was never signing an extension.
-
He was a hitter until 2023 and missed most of 24/25 due to tommy john. His latest setback is a hammy. They'll stretch him out as a starter and see where it goes. He has starter attributes.
-
He may be the fastest man in baseball.
-
They will sign the second rounder. The question is if he will sign enough below slot to enable them to sign one of the 3 high school pitchers they drafted in the latter rounds.
-
Man! Tough crowd.
-
Not worried about his shooting. He needs to prove he can stay healthy and available.
-
This one is too easy; if you get a starting x receiver for a late 3rd and two comp picks after the 3rd, that's a huge win. If he bombs, then sure, it's a fail.
-
I think people are underrating the pass rushing juice and run defense that Moore provides.
-
You trade up when there's a singular player there, with a reasonable acquisition cost, who is graded far above the rest of your board.
-
I don't think that's unexpected. If you've had that type of surgery, you feel sort of like Frankenstein for a while.
-
In this draft at 17 BPA could easily be an OT, ESPN gave out 20 first round grades, 7 were oline, 6 tackles and Iheanachor is not far off.
-
I don't think anyone knowledgeable ever said he couldn't play short. I believe they were speculating that he'd probably end up around major league average, which is pretty damn good btw, and if another player came along who could play above average short, it could push McGonigle to 2nd or 3rd, where he'd be above average, and he'd hit enough in any case.
-
I don't think we know yet.
-
That would be Barnes
-
I think they see Barnes as a Sam and will probably run a lot of 5-2 this year. I think they'll look for a hybrid safety\linebacker later in the draft for use in the nickel.
-
He had a role, the same one Dortch is now occupying, regardless, you aren't handed a role, you compete for it.
-
What you are missing is that your conclusions are not based on facts, he doesn't have a lot of swing and miss, he has a relatively low k rate and he makes a lot of hard contact, he has superior strike zone judgement and he has been very young for his competition level. He also should end up as a plus defender.

3/28/26 5:30PM Pistons 53-20 @ Timberwolves 45-28

He's a 39% shooter who has struggled the last few years with injuries and inconsistent playing time. -
It's not just to stop the run, though. In this era of mobile, escapable quarterbacks, they want ends that can control the lanes and gaps and crush and contain the pocket.
-
If the Lions sign Bosa, I would have to find a new team to root for.
-
Where did anyone get the idea Hassanein won't be strong against the run? He's raw in every aspect, but stout enough, strong enough and motivated enough to develop.
