  1. I wouldn't give up a draft pick for a short term deal.
  2. It's kind of misleading to rate quarterbacks on what are basically team stats.
  3. Most of his control issues came when he was suffering with a herniated disc in his neck, when he came back off the 60 day, he barely walked anyone.
  4. I agree, with starters you can safely assume they've reached muscle failure and need full recovery. With relievers, there are so many more variables.
  5. They know a great deal about recovery cycles, four days rest is generally optimal, but may vary with some individuals, with peak strength occurring on the fifth day after muscle failure and recovery. Muscle failure is variable. Extra rest is counter productive, as the muscle will begin to lose strength after peak. The every fifth day cycle for starting pitchers is based on results, not convention.
  6. Not to be the contrarian, but I like Vierling at third. I think he has more in the tank.
  7. They have one of the most effective, potent and explosive offenses in the NFL, so there isn't too much to complain about.
  8. It's better, there are real issues with MLB that neither side seems willing to adequately address.
  9. I'm sure they did. Most teams wouldn't want to push the cash flow hit into the future.
  10. I believe any deferred payments are added to the luxury tax calculation for the period of the contract, but adjusted to present value, it is not postponed to the period beyond the contract.
  11. Except you’re singling out Holmes, all teams do this. Do you pay any attention to the rate of attrition in college football and the NFL? If you didn't take a chance on previously injured players, you'd be drawing from a very small pool.
  12. This is illogical. Football is a violent sport. The majority of players have some type of injury history, or soon will. Every team takes chances on them. People on here were upset the Lions didn't trade for Chase Young, what is he but a walking history of injuries?
  13. Starr can hit the upper 90' but is hittable, Coker low 90's but has more of a mix, both are just org fodder. I'd rather see them grab young guys who may have some development left, but I guess you need some of these guys also.
  14. I usually wake up in the church parking lot with a pocket full of cocktail weanies and no memories anyway.
  15. The Rule 5 draft is the most exciting day in sports.
  16. I think you've only seen the diminished version of himself, unfortunately.
  17. The draft is only one aspect that promotes competitive balance, but baseball is the only major US sport that contains a gross economic disparity among members that continues to be an issue.
