QUOTE (KnightsOnMintSt @ Jan 17, 2018 -> 10:23 AM) I really hope that they give Adam Engel a full season of starting, or at least considerable at-bats. While his offense may not have been where we wanted it to be, the defense was oustanding, and he has great speed. 2018 is one of those years where I would really like guys like Engel, as well as Delmonico and Davidson, to get considerable at-bats because I think they all have that potential to be apart of the teams passed 2019. I would actually like to see him used a little less next year. After Leury went out, he started pretty much every single game no matter what the match up was. I'd like to see him brought along a little slower with plugging him into places where he has a better chance to succeed being used as the primary technique instead of an every single day starter. Let him grow in situations where the odds are more in his favor, and utilized Leury in match ups as well. Charlie Tilson is also going to be a factor here assuming he doesn't get ran over in the parking lot on opening day. Ryan Cordell has also played a bit of CF

It would be nice if he could find a defensive position that actually had some value.

QUOTE (cjgalloway @ Jan 17, 2018 -> 09:39 AM) So.. what ever happened with the pitchers we drafted in like rounds 4-9 or something (I don't remember). Didn't we sign them all? How'd they perform? What's their expectations I think they only drafted like 1 starter in the top 10 rounds in McClure. The rest were relievers.

QUOTE (cjgalloway @ Jan 17, 2018 -> 09:34 AM) Nope I don't drink coffee and I also don't want to pay $60 a year to read a few articles.. So you wanna quit being a dick or what? entitled much?

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Jan 17, 2018 -> 09:21 AM) Agreed 100%. Also don't think it really hurts his value when over 10 teams have interest. If it were only a few, then sure. This is it right here. He is under control for half of a decade and cheap. Someone will pay up for him, even if it isn't an ultra premium price.

QUOTE (Tony @ Jan 16, 2018 -> 04:56 PM) So do the "LeBron to the Bulls" rumors pick up in the off-season? Dunn-LaVine-LeBron-Markkenen-Random Center? That doesn't even sound like close to enough.

If he is taking part in the camp at full participation, the surgery must have been fairly minor, which is good news.

I like seeing the unity from a group of guys who has been thrown together in the last 13 months.

A good history of the NK program through the last couple of decades, including all of the times they have been cheating on agreements over the years. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/01/06/world/as...telligence.html
