  1. I'll be surprised if he plays enough to lose his rookie eligibility. Not totally so, but somewhat.
  2. When I was in Paris, we accidentally were there on Bastille Day. We just walked into a private area like we belonged (completely oblivious, we had no idea) and ended up watching the parade with a bunch of high ranking political types. The good old days.....
  3. People have a NEED to blame someone, even though most things in the universe happen. Just happen. With no one at fault. But, people have a NEED to believe things are in our control, hence blaming people for this (who do we blame for him getting hurt walking?).
  4. You think the front office is confused about the process? Ridiculous.
  5. Zero, zero, zero, evidence CF is dangerous. People get hurt playing sports, or even just walking around in his case.
  6. They'd have to move to at least six to be sure, imo. What would that cost? I guess if Vegas signs a long term QB, maybe to nine or so.....
  7. He hasn't been healthy for three years. Counting him out makes tons of sense. That said ...I would put him in center field, and have him be Buxton's full time backup. He'd start in left when Buxton can play the field.
  8. This all looks right, other than the Jets are MUCH better than Vegas. I do agree on the other part of that, so, not sure?
  9. Truly likely to be the best part of the off season.
  10. 100% this, especially the last sentence.
  11. We've both made our points...further discussion won't gain anything.
  12. I literally listed the three guys he'd replace.....
  13. I was told Lewis got hurt because he was played out of position....which is bunk, but still....no way Julien is ever the 3B for this team, not with the players in front of him.
  14. Why are we comparing him to guys not on the roster?
  15. Winder, Sands, Henriquez.....and others are on the 40 man already. To be clear, you want zero young guys not already in the pen in the pen? Zero?
  16. If you aren't excited by the possibilities here, I got no idea why you like baseball. This guy is a legit possible star.
  17. You think batting order somehow made Max a worse hitter? Nonsense.
  18. Gotta have some guys with options in the bullpen, or gotta cut guys you just signed and are paying. It's easier/faster to send guys down than to cut guys you just signed. Plus it gives you flexibility for upcoming matchups. People really underestimate the value of guys with options compared to ok veterans.
  19. Pagan isn't pitching the 8th. No idea why that's even stated.
  20. If I was the Vikings, and I was 100% confident the owner had my back...... Trade Kirk for a first or 2nd and 5th next year. Trade Cook and a 5th for a 4th or 3rd (not that I think a team takes that contract, but they might) next year. Trade Thielen for whatever. Sign JJ and Hockenson to long deals. Sign the best mediocre or average QB I can and promise JJ I'm trading whatever it takes to get the best QB next year. Trade this year's first for a third (or second if I can) round pick this year and a first next year. Trade all my firsts next year for the top pick (or highest pick I need to to get an elite QB). Heck, we might be bad enough to get a top pick.... Sign the best Center I can this year with the money (if there is one). Sign the best DL I can this year. Draft DL and OL and DB with all my picks this year *unless there is a RB I LOVE after round 3. Clearly this isn't 100% thought out....but I'd aim to have enough capital to get whatever QB I wanted next year.
  21. I'm sure they are. But you can't punt next year. My point is, they won't be fixing QB for at least two years ... To expect otherwise is to set yourself up for disappointment. Are you willing to be awful for one or two years, on the hope you get an elite QB? Easy for is to say yes, we aren't the owners trying to make money, or employees trying to keep our jobs.
  22. I'd guess the Vikings would love to find a guy like that ...... What makes you think they don't? They just won 13 games, do you really expect them to cut Kirk, hope they suck, and draft a QB next year? Of course not.
  23. Trevor Lawrence? No. I'm not sure about Rodgers anymore either. You do know the Vikings won 13 games with the second worst defense? That Kirk led them to comeback after comeback?
  24. You can name ten you are sure are better than Cousins? Wow
  25. How do you plan to get one? Not happening next year.
