So the positional value vs BPA debate is seeping into the MLB draft too?

I'm a fan...not my job to do anything but create fantastic scenarios. I'll bet Debrincat comes cheaply...Dubois..I Imagine..would take something involving top NHL ready prospects like Edvinsson/ Wallinder/ Kasper and picks. He cost the Jets two top 6 F's and a pick a few years ago. But his value could be diminished as he's an RFA too... Maybe he's a you poison pill an offer sheet to

I think Larkin is a good enough 1C to win...if they draft a guy like Danielson (who I hope they draft), I would not be surprised to see him eventually be the 1C. We have an immediate and future need for a 2nd pair RHD. Be great to get Karlsson without surrendering significant draft capital and getting some $$$ retained by SJ while drafting a RHD like Bonk at 17. If no Karlsson..there's a number of RHD stop gaps available We need more scoring up front...getting DeBrincat (the Chicago version) would be a huge help. Copp, Perron and Kubalik are OK...but they aren't the kind of dynamic threats we need. Raymond should give them more... he needs a bounce back year. Give me the three D's...Danielson, DeBrincat and Pierre Dubois and we're looking good at F. I would give up a lot if Winnipeg is open to moving on from DuBois

If drafting Lively=moving on from Wiseman and/or Bagley...ok by me.

Top college bats should be Bob Horner...NCAA straight to the bigs

Apparently...Gordie Howe was responsible for a similar dynamic with the Wings. Wouldn't push for more, so the rest of the team couldn't either

Franklin Perez had a rough 1st outing in the FCL...since then, he's pitched 6 2/3 innings of shutout ball walking 2 and striking out 4 while allowing 5 hits

Langford and Crews are both seen as 1-1 candidates over the past few seasons from what I've gathered. It seems like Crews is rated as the bette roverall hitter and could play CF. While Langford looks to have more power but would be a corner OF.

I remember Al Kaline turning down a $100,000 contract in 1971 because he didn't think he was worth it.

I'd rather have the **** Man If the Jazz want to move up...trade pick 5 for picks 9 and 28 (pick 16 is too rich, we'd have to add soemthing).

Given Zion's injury history and apparent lack of motivation to actually work and get in shape...a GM would have to be insane to trade for him.

I want nothing to do with Jarace..not at 5 anyway.

Really hoping for Crews or Langford...would be leery of Skenes is he's getting overworked like that in college. I remember Kenny Baugh. Clark or Jenkins would be my fall backs over Teel...

Never been one to make assumptions about the mental state and motivations of people I don't know or have only a very limited knowledge.

Just give him the anabolic steroids and be done with it

Depending on the $$$ and the return...I could be a yes on Karlsson.

I'd take Miller at 5...but I don't think he'll be there. After that it's Whitmore, Hendricks and the Thompson's. If we an make a move back into the lottery, Coulibaly would be an interesting guy

The 84 champs were built on a system comprised of Bristol (rookie), Lakeland (A), Montgomery (AA) and Evansville (AAA). Carnsarnit...no hornswagglin cracker croaker is gonna tell me that wont work today

Jobe isn't 21 yet...he's still age appropriate for the FCL

OPS+ is kinda cool...

Wings mentioned as a possible landing spot for Erik Karlsson...SJ would have to retain salary and not want much in return...but getting the bulk of that contract off their books would be attractive for them

Tork and Miggy picking it up roughly coincides with RG going out...if they can keep it up when he gets back...that's three potentially productive MLB hitters.

I once had a chiropractor marvel at the degree to which I am "busted up"...and that was before I snapped my humerus (not as funny as it sounds) and gained a plate and six screws in my left arm

I like the Athletic...great NHL coverage.

Don't you mean "other random bozos"?
