    He’s fine if he’s the 25th or 26th man.

    Excellent job, Eddie

    I don’t think being a great athlete is all that important to play quarterback in today’s nfl. If you can read defenses and get the ball out quickly, accurately and on time, you can be successful. If you depend on running, you just get hurt. The problem is those traits are hard to evaluate in college.

    Why do people feel compelled to make rigid statements like this? No one knows yet. Player development is not often linear. We shall see.

    Yes, I was just noting his propensity to chase is nothing new and not caused by his physical issues, he’s always done that. It’s his inability to drive balls that he can reach that is the problem, and that may be related to his injury.
  6. Longgone
    To be fair, he always swung at those, and was pretty successful.

    I tend to think Tork will be fine, considering his talent and work ethic, on the other hand, baseball is a ruthless, fickle bitch.

    Read what I wrote. No one has encouraged him to change his actual swing, so there is nothing to resist. His stance and lower body mechanics and approach, yes, and he has been diligent in working on those aspects.

    You’re reading too much into random comments. No one has encouraged changes to his actual swing. They have encouraged changes to his lower body mechanics and his approach, which he has been diligent about.

    Soto is a top hitter, but not a very good defender, and he is a sub par athlete who probably won’t age well. Probably be a dh soon, players of his skill set tend to lose bat speed as they age. Great player, but not without concerns.

    “Adequate arm strength” Where did this myth come from?

    They have a 4th

    Scouting grades are not static. They depend on when you see the player. If you saw him struggling post recovery, sure he wouldn’t grade very well. He may, or may not, make it all or most of the way back.

    If Keith’s defense ends up anywhere near average, leave him alone. If you can keep his kind of bat in the middle infield, that’s an advantage.

    Campbell’s been a beast

    You’re not fooling anyone with this crap. Does this amuse you? There are people out there with real mental health problems, and this vapid trolling just makes sport of their issues. Go find something constructive to do.

    Reddick doesn’t fit any of the criteria. Can’t play de in detroit’s system, can’t cover from the sam, probably isn’t a culture fit
  18. Longgone
    The first thing the Lions will be looking for is a de who can set the edge and maintain gap integrity as well as rush, and secondly, maybe someone who can rush from the Sam position, but he also needs to drop and cover. Reddick isn’t stout on the edge, and he’s not really a cover backer.
  19. Longgone
    They need someone to replace Hutchinson or Davenport, that ain’t Reddick.

    Develop both at catcher and hope one of them pans out.

    What’s Vest? What’s Holton? Foley is certainly not perfect or the ideal, but he’s been solid and not deserving of all the angst.
  22. Longgone
    This is being way overstated here. He k’s 7/9, not all that egregious, and opponents hit .228 off of him. He’s a solid option if he’s healthy.
  23. Longgone
    I doubt they are coming to Detroit, but I doubt they’re staying put either. They will go to the highest bidder.
  24. Longgone
    Those were the days, my friend.
  25. Longgone
    Normally, I avoid the game threads because of all the whiny angst, but you guys have all made it so much fun the last month or so. Thank you so much!
