    How come? The only 3B that year who got more was Rendon (and they weren’t getting him, that’s ridiculous)

    I think being in the Hall means that you are one of the greatest players of the era. That could either be peak performance or longitivity, depending on the context.

    I forgot about that part. I agree that that’s also something that they factor into their decisions.

    https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/33159184/chicago-bears-hire-indianapolis-colts-dc-matt-eberflus-head-coach-sources-say Looks like the Bears hired their next HC. Never heard of this guy prior to today. Thoughts?

    This is a topic that has come up a few times since June of last year, and especially in this thread. The majority opinion seems to be (Disclaimer: This is my interpretation, so if it’s inaccurate, then my apologies) that Falvey’s offseason strategy is “insanity” or “unsustainable” or, in simple terms, “bad.” This is the most common depiction of Falvey’s supposed offseason strategy that I see particularly on TD: “Sign leftovers and pray for a bounceback year.” This seems like a pretty accurate depiction (I would word it a bit differently) but what I have trouble understanding is why this strategy is necessarily a bad one. As I said, I would word the depiction a bit differently: “Identify low-priced options that have tools that we can work with and improve.” (obviously referring to pitchers) To me, this doesn’t seem like a terrible strategy as long as you can make it work. The Twins did make it work in many ways in 2020 (Wisler, Thielbar, etc) and it completely flopped in 2021 (Colome, Shoemaker, etc). To me it seems like one year it worked out and one year it didn’t, so the results are mixed. Is this strategy necessarily “bad?” What are your thoughts?

    Well, yes. They wouldn’t have extended Buxton if they did. They would’ve been shopping Donaldson too.

    For me analytics. Deemphasizing analytics is thinking backwards in the modern era.

    Nah, I don’t want Polanco back at SS. Get a real SS and keep Polanco at 2B.

    HOW THE LITERAL **** DID THE PACKERS MANAGE TO LOSE THAT
  13. cHawk
    BYE PACKERS!!!

    The Bengals are in the AFC Championship Game! Imagine telling me that before the season

    I would say guys who haven’t had their “rookie season” yet. I think it would be next year for guys like Ryan and Ober? I could be wrong.

    I don’t think that this is a rational assessment. The Twins were outscored 23-7 in 3 games. (average 7.7-2.3) This isn’t the NFL or NHL or NBA where one player can change the game. Pressly is one arm that pitches 2-3 innings of the series. 2-3 innings would not have changed the outcome.

    I could see Duran, Balazovic, Ryan, Ober, Canterino, Winder, Sands, Petty, SWR, and Strotman all becoming reliable major league pitchers. How many will? We can’t know as of right now. I went with 10 or more because I’m a homer.

    Kirby Puckett

    Both 7 Seeds were obviously getting smoked. Adding a 7th Seed has given us 4 more playoff games the last two years. One of them was good. The other three? Not so much.

    Why the **** would you kick a FG in the 4th Quarter down by 16 in a playoff game? Seems like a Zimmer thing to do.
  22. cHawk
    TBF the Bills’ schedule was about as easy as NE’s.

    Greinke looks washed to me. He’s been getting worse the past couple of years. I don’t think he would make a great leader, either. He doesn’t seem to have the personality.
  24. cHawk
    IK but a 30 point final? That defense was still one of the best.
  25. cHawk
    I can’t be the only one shocked at this result.
