There has been a lot of using fangraphs defensive WAR for catchers this offseason and being surprised what catchers it favors. Id recommend at some point questioning whether to continue using that.

Are you saying 2 first rounders as in 4 overall plus a 2024 first and a player? I’d go B, but would be silly of colts as they trade up for a QB. But I’d probably go Buckner, then restructure him. But if we get an extra third this year plus a future first that would be great for a trade back of three spots, imo.

Holy crap I forgot about tampa and NO. This year is nuts. I remember a few years ago it seemed like every team had a QB plan, this has gotta be the highest percentage of drifters I can remember. Daniel Jones is probably sitting pretty now as I can't imagine the Giants want to jump in that carousel at the moment.

I really struggle to figure out where he'll go. Carolina and Indy are now past the retread route. Houston too close to drafting one, but it's possible, but I just doubt Carr says yes. It's hard to believe he's that big of an upgrade over Tannehill, so I can't see TEN. Seattle still just would be shocking to see them not retain Geno. I feel like it's either Washington or Atlanta will be the Carr/Garropolo destinations. But the other team I guess could be the Jets, but they are probably more Jimmy G. It's going to be a wild year for QBs. I kinda feel like Brady goes to SF too, something weird like that.

K I watched em. Kinda fun. Good job sox media people.

The goose was good though. We all know why we were bad last year and it was because the goose was gone.

I do find it funny how representative this is of Jerry's M.O. It is so transparently just another copycat move of other successful franchises done half-assed.

It is statistically impossible.

"View Bars"

second base wasn't really the place we were gonna help with our handedness issue. Benintendi, Colas need to join a resurgent Grandal/Moncada to really make a dent.

I don't think there is wasting money this year, and I doubt many get a long term deal given the glut of good RBs on the market. But yeah I kinda want to get that free agent tampa corner and cement gordon as a slot corner where I think he can shine with his size. But only if we can get a good tackle and at least some passable edges.

You really need a guy with that killer mentality as your number 2 for it to be successful.

I wouldn't be surprised if Sox re-start jose Rodriguez in AA again. He was super hot in late Jul-Aug, but had no power prior. If he shows it again, then great. But clearly they don't expect him to be able to spell time for sox the first few months, whereas Alberto could. You then have Burger-Alberto-Sosa in AAA and Romy is either up with the club or can continue to work on his versatility in OF/IF play.

mmmk.

So officially Kevin Warren as Bears prez. Not surprising, when these things leak it's usually close to the finish line as more parties get brought in (contracts, referrals, vetting). Hope he's good, I wanted someone from Liberty Media and the Braves but getting someone from NFL/Football who can handle stadium construction funding and all that's involved is a plus for the McCaskeys.

Anybody watch these project Birmingham YouTube vids the Sox out out?

Sigh, long time fav of mine Jacob Amaya just got traded to marlins.

oh nice, happy with it as a minor league deal.

That movie made me make sure I could light a fire. I feel like I wouldn't have had as much problem as him with the coconuts though. The rope making was impressive, I'll give him that.

I had to look up whether jazz was a nickname for chaz after all this but no, real name is Jasrado

The way Ballard talking seems so foolish that I’m wondering if he’s instead going to try and use 4th overall for something like getting Baltimore to do a tag and trade for Lamar. Baltimore could trade back with Las Vegas and get Carr, and then plan on making a big trade up for a rookie the next year with likely colts + raiders additional firsts.

it sucks because I loved kelly as a player and uh, getting him and him sucking makes it hard to remember why. But he had so many great moments in boston, st louis and LA.

So Spielberger mentioned how the bears basically have to spend this year a similar amount to what Jax did last year. So just for an idea on what that looked like 1. Christian Kirk 4 for 72 2. Brandon Scherff 3 for 49 3. Foyesade Oluokun 3 for 45 4. Darious Williams 3 for 30 5. Foley Fatukasi 3 for 30 6. Zay Jones 3 for 24 7. Evan Engram 1 for 9 8. Arden Key 1 for 4 9. Adam Gotsis 1 for 1.4 10. Laquon Treadwell 1 for 1.1 11. Tre Herndon 1 for 1 12. Wyatt Ray 1 for 1 So it was a lot, though not that wild. My proposal would be a lot more than this. But a lot of the issue was Kirk getting so much more than people expected a slot receiver to get, the rest weren't that wild.

There are sooo many good RBs in this FA class and Monty may not even be top 5. Fournette was the top back last year and got 3 for 21, with 9 million guaranteed. I have a hard time believing he beats that. I think he's more in the 2 for 14 territory

I think you just don't want to make a colts or texans feel like you don't want to drop out of top five, and they need to be aware of a huge leap frog from like, commanders/jets
