I think we're about 23ish million below the 3rd CBT threshold. Signing Bassitt for 18.5m would have left us like 5 million to make in season trades.
I'm not defending the reasoning. I'm just pointing out why he likely wasn't an option at that price.
I think you have to address the rotation...
He's got some really loud skills. Probably the best overall raw talent among our position prospects. He's one of the few positions prospects we have that could actually project to hit 25+ homers annually in the majors. He had some elite EVs in high school. And he's got a great arm, being clocked...
Guaranteed you didn't watch a single Rams game, aside from the NFC championship game.
They gave up yards in bunches all season. Their secondary got absolutely torched. And they were not good at stopping the run.
By the way, Derrick Henry is an effing beast. 31 years old and he still finished 2nd in rushing and ypc. He's already locked up his HOF spot. If he has another 1500 yard season again in 2026, it's going to be time to start talking about the all time record.
LMAO, no.
The Rams are not making the playoffs with an average QB (depending on what you qualify as "average").
You realize they had the best offense in the NFL right? Defensively they were mediocre. Yes they had a good pass rush, but their secondary was mostly hot garbage. If you replace...
Decided to make my own top 30 list.
I think our Top 10 is very solid and is a good mix of high upside and high floor. I'm also pretty high on Cody Miller. The skill set is there is to be a really good SS or CF, and he could be someone that moves up through the organization really fast. And...
This list is pretty close to how I would rank our prospects. Though I would have Burkhalter outside our top 25 and I would have Hernandez and Dixon Williams a good bit higher. And I have Michael Martinez somewhere in our top 30, rather than in the HMs.
Also, I think David McCabe belongs in the...
Schwelly is probably cooked. At least for this year anyway. Sad. We hardly knew ye.
While not a kiss of death per say, some of the more recent high profile pitchers with bone spurs in their elbows were Buehler, McCullers, and Bryce Miller. Miller is the only one that wasn't also recovering...
I don't think so. I believe the reason they were willing to part with Durbin in the first place is because they had a bottleneck of middle infielders. Ortiz and Turang are already their projected starters at SS and 2b this year, and then they have:
Jesus Made, who is their top SS prospect and...
What about JT's, Coldplay's, U2's, or Maroon 5's performances were out of key or "phoning it in." Seems like a lot of people liked those performances.
Again, different rules for different people. Ok when you do it. Not when someone else does it.
It wa
2 pages ago, you literally called like half of the SB performances in the last 30 years either mediocre or bad.
But if someone else doesn't like it, it doesn't mean it was terrible, it just wasn't their style..... Got it.
Miss me with that BS.
The EPA/play is higher because he threw the ball significantly less, largely because they played a trash schedule, so they often played with a 2 score lead.
