  1. Regardless of the past - in my mind the answer is clear - you got to gamble on him having a good half - if he does - they will get a much better return and if he doesn’t than you aren’t that much worse off down the road. Right now they aren’t getting a high impact prospect so in my mind don’t move him unless you take on a contract to facilitate getting real talent. If they sell him low that just isn’t a good outcome. This isn’t the same as Cease. I am somewhat hopeful a fresh offseason and fresh start can do wonders for him. But I never thought he would have a year where his production was that low (his tools are just too good).
  2. How many of those are Sox sites? When it comes to the Sox - this place has more traffic than any of them - especially discussion. Twitter can have more isolated comments - but actual people trending together on views - this is it. Also in terms of actual baseball forums or reddits - it is a high volume board - but yes - slower than the past - given the broader dynamics - but also heavily due to the team. But overall - I wouldn't trade this for anything - its a true community....its also purely a hobby...not like we've ever operated it as a for profit or business. It really is a place for Sox fans from all over the world to be able to come on, vent, root together, etc aligned to a common goal.
  3. The upcoming lockout is going to be brutal - I think it will be worse than 94.
  4. They got this tank thing figured out. Come on top 3 pick (preferably Flagg).
  5. I wonder if Wright can take a big step forward with more quality around him (or not). I don't know the answer but if Wright can become a top 5 RT than it works out okay. I also don't know what happens with Carter if he spent his first half of his rookie season on that team a year ago (in fairness). But Carter > Wright and a punter.
  6. Yeah - I think this increases likelihood that Smith is harder to get. Not that in a free agent class that is devoid of high end talent it is ever easy to land your target anyway. But Smith seemed like one of those where Bears would say you know what - this is worth outbidding everyone on.
  7. Was watching - Curry went off and Bulls completely fell apart. Nuts. Buzelis had good first half.
  8. This is a very good post - it’s why I’m not taking an rb in round 1. I think in round 2 - that is earliest you can do it and round 3 is fair game. Now if Bears moved down 10-12 slots and picked up a few more picks - than maybe because you don’t have a Sewell type player on the board (unfortunately he probably isn’t in this draft anyway). Simmons is my go big or go home candidate at 10 - otherwise I’m in camp of go dline if you think blue chip is there or move down and try and grab a high end guard prospect and live with Braxton with goal of making interior strong.
  9. Damn it. I wanted the Lakers to get Vooch. Hornets made a good deal and Lakers are betting on Williams being healthy (he’s young and ascending but hurt a ton) but I wanted Dalton from Lakers and was hoping Bulls might even get a 2nd round pick to boot.
  10. 2yrs 20M total - that is a deal I can get on board with. Seems like the type of move that if it backfires and his leg blows up, it doesn't break the cap, but if it works out and he has a good full season and trends the right way - he helps other players, but at the same time, he probably has real upside as a trade asset depending on where they are in the rebuild.
  11. I prefer assets - but I will admit that Lonzo is a really good player and probably the type of guy that makes it easier to develop younger players around him. What did they pay him?
  12. I would have done that for Vuc..perfect move - get a first while taking on a bad contract. Than try and restore Middleton's value a bit and flip him next deadline when he's an expiring.
  13. Exactly - it’s now or never. His value won’t be any higher except maybe in his final year when he is an expiring… Matas has a career game today. They need lottery luck. Cooper would change the whole dynamic!
