  1. Brutal night for Santana, alas. Wallner should never sit again. Seriously, let him play.
  2. Larnach, Martin, and Miranda started in the minors....so I'm not sure how they planned to depend on them. Farmer is clearly a backup, not someone they were counting on depending on. My point, that you responded to, was the college players are going to be in their mid 20s before they play in the majors nearly every single time, so saying that those guys rarely work out isn't about premiering in their mid 20s, but that most minor leaguers don't work out.
  3. Agreed. Plus, the payroll is going down by 20 million or so I'd guess.....can't spend any money on a 1B when they need SP and are cutting payroll.
  4. no one says every prospect is going to work and is THE answer. There are thousands who don't, we agree, but that has nothing to do with college players being in their mid 20s in their first full season of minor league ball. Unless 24 somehow isn't mid 20s?
  5. Who is the 1B if not Santana the last 4 months? I mean, I agreed at the time with your take, but we've been proven wrong. No idea who your CF is. What good SP moved in the off season that cost zero dollars?
  6. Or the owners wouldn't let them add payroll....so how would you get a decent SP (and backup 1B, CF, and keep Kepler and Vazquez)?
  7. People say that all the time, ignoring the fact a college junior is 21 or 22.....and is likely to spend 2+ years in the minors....so, they literally won't get to the majors until their mid 20s.
  8. Regardless, I expect the payroll to go DOWN again next year.....
  9. I think his point is to DFA worse players and not worry about losing them at this point.
  10. So many games he led the Vikings back, only for the defense to give up points in no time. Good for Kirk tonight.
  11. They didn't play WR or other rookies back in the day either. It was about rookies being in their place....It's certainly possible a QB should sit for half a year or full year, but I'm not sure it is necessary. Frankly, Young was a fine player, but never should have been taken this high at all. There just are NOT 30 starting QBs on the planet, at some point, you gotta play that young guy and see if he's possibly one of them.
  12. Well, he left him in like everyone wanted last week with Ober. I'm sure he'll be ripped though
  13. Bryce Young benched for Andy Dalton? Wow.
  14. Meaningless. I have no idea if they are using them optimally...... No one does.
  15. Other than the stupid trick plays in the RedZone, agreed
  16. Great win. But it's all about Jeffersons health....
  17. I'm actually in Minnesota, so I might watch this now that the golf trip is over. No idea what I'm doing today? Helping my dad with yard work? Brewery? I expect a SF win
  18. Nope. They got rid of the guys with little future that have been around.
  19. According to what I read online, most baseball experts think the cut in minor league ball led to less AAAA pitchers being kept, which means AAA hitters don't face pitching that is good as what previous AAA hitters faced. That's why so many rookies are struggling when they get to the majors. They just aren't facing anything like the pitching they used to. . True or not, that's the theory.
