Because that's where he's going to end up at the big league level.

I don't understand dragging the hiring process out....in any field, and I'm a huge culture/fit guy. I don't think it makes the hiring organization look good....you really need all this time to make a decision? What's business decision making look like for you? I say this as someone that works for the federal government with a painful hiring process. I did a phone screening with a guy two weeks ago, panel virtual interview with him last week, and flew him here from the UK this week to put a bow on things. We had drinks tonight to talk ancillary stuff (towns to look for houses, commutes, the non-work side of the process) and he'll come into the office tomorrow to talk nuts and bolts, potential project assignments, and next steps....it'll be a done deal by Tuesday and we will just have to figure out his start date with the move back to the States factored in.

Typically use one.

Its about ready and broken in backups that the player is comfortable with in the event a glove breaks or is lost, not anything to do with different gloves for different uses at the same position. They have backups for the positions they play regularly....likely more quantity of backups for the positions they play most frequently.

Good season. Keep building.

This is precisely where I am with the game.

Robert Kraft said publicly in the last year or so that Mayo was the heir apparent. This has been a done deal for quite a while. Nobody else was getting that job.

It's an attempt to create a story leading up to the game; a story that hopefully generates questions for UM players and coaches, and potentially offers some distraction from the task at hand. Nothing more.

I'm sure he has plenty, but they are almost assuredly internal and carry bias/agenda that he likely doesn't have the necessary information to counter.

All of Lynn's info for these comes from internal folks. Temper your enthusiasm accordingly.

There's an immense amount of irony in this post.

He's not walking away until he gets Shula's record.

While that may end up happening, Curran's report that the Tweet/graphic is based on was him speculating after the Germany game. He made it very clear during his original info on this that he thought that was what was happening, not that he was told it is happening.

Correct decision. I have a really hard time seeing a team carry him on a MLB roster all year.

Heard from relatives of theirs this morning that folks are okay. Most of it went down about two miles from their home, locked down, but okay

I have numerous friends in the Lewiston-Auburn area....hoping to hear from them soon.

All things he hasn't had since high school. At what point is it fair to suggest he's not capable of those things?

A relief role has been the obvious projection for Flores for 2+ years. This shouldn't be surprising at all.

It all boils down to how his patience and strike zone knowledge translates when pitchers are throwing more strikes than he's ever seen, and better quality strikes at that. Does the strikeout rate spike and power dip because he's still trying to wait out pitchers, or did he adjust and swing more at pitches he can drive?

Nope, fake to Montgomery, 32 yards to Raymond.

No, Keith is a real prospect. He's not a world beater, but he's a good player that will have a 7-8 year career

Also, let's be clear, anybody that thought they got a "real" prospect for Joe Jimenez....was, wait for the word, delusional.

When they don't discuss an actual position in the answer, that's code for he has absolutely no position.

I once wrote that Billy Nowlin was allergic to leather. He was terrible defensively, at any position.

Acceptable? Yes. Average? Doubtful.
