    I'd keep Nowlin over McLeod. I know the results say otherwise, but I'd never trust someone throwing under 90 MPH on the major league mound. Also, based on the Twins letting Severino walk, I wouldn't be surprised to see Rosario unprotected. I really only need to see Raya protected, but that would leave four open roster spots, and frankly, I have no interest in filling them with dime store free agents, so go ahead, give them to the kids for all I care. I'd rather see Rosario or Holland than the 2025 version of Manny Margot.

    18 seconds is too few, but he still should have taken a knee at the 15.

    Conky certainly didn't run good routes, but he had better hands.
  4. nicksaviking
    But they won't. These NFL teams need to hire one person who ONLY does clock management.

    I guess I don't understand why the Twins would trade Jeffers for other catchers. Or, if they aren't trading him for catchers, what else they'd plan to do with the position. Moving Jeffers should be amongst the lowest priorities for this team. Cheap and not an offensive black hole. Unless you can improve on the offensive aspect, just accept what you've got.

    Very impressive. He must have the neck of a nose tackle.

    My mom was Burrow's elementary school gym teacher, I credit her for these plays.

    I'm not a cap guru, but it looks like the cap damage is much less after this season, and very manageable the following season.

    11 minutes left, you're going to jinx yourself. But I really dislike Jim Harbaugh so I'm crossing my fingers.
  10. nicksaviking
    Right, owning San Diego to renting from the Rams. I could see them moving back at some point. Especially with the NFL becoming more and more of an 'experience' league. San Diego is a fun tourist city.

    Fun game, nice comeback by Burrow and the Bengals. Plenty of time for more drama too.
  12. nicksaviking
    The Vikings need to find a mid round multi-use RB like Chase Brown. But I don't think they have enough picks to use one on a RB.
  13. nicksaviking
    Maybe. I'm waiting to vote on that. Zero skill position talent for sure. But this defense got good really, really fast.
  14. nicksaviking
    OK, Herbert fumble, trade back on. What a waste of two paragraphs.
  15. nicksaviking
    With the narrative being that Jim Harbaugh doesn't need a special QB, he just needs a game manager, I was secretly hopeful that he'd want to get out from under Herbert's contract and that the Vikings might be able to pull off some sort of McCarthy/Herbert deal this winter. Harbaugh would be absolutely brain dead to do it though. Herbert looks like this decade's Matt Stafford. Tons of talent and production but a QB on a loser team. He probably won't be traded, they instead will/have put a non-loser team around him.
  16. nicksaviking
    Not sure how the rest of the league sees him either, but I prefer the guys with strikeout potential.
  17. nicksaviking
    While SWR may have a higher floor, I think Festa and Matthews both have a higher ceiling. Being so, I'd look to move SWR who probably has more trade value.
  18. nicksaviking
    Westburg yes, no to the other two. Pereira's bat interests me, but I'm on board with the new lower strikeout directive. Rafaela looks like one of those defensive plus players everyone likes until the bat frustrates everyone until he's run out of town.
  19. nicksaviking
    I liked the first few books. After those it got pretty soapy and formulaic and probably haven't read one in 20 years. I'll admit, the previews looked good though. Though, if I'm honest, I saw this thread had a hit for the first time in a month and came to see if someone was posting that Mike Tyson died live on Netflix.

    If Jax can't keep his velocity up as a starter, I don't understand how they think he'll keep the results. Lugo and Littell never threw that hard to begin with. They didn't have a 5 MPH velocity discrepancy to deal with.
  21. nicksaviking
    Jax's value has to be extremely high already, I'm not sure it would improve a ton by dangling the starter angle, but I suppose it doesn't hurt. I generally have no interest in trading him, particularly if it's just more prospects. But if this talk of him starting is because he's demanding/aggressively asking for it, then I almost think you have to. This team absolutely CANNOT let one player dictate where he wants to play unless they're going to let all the players with leverage to do the same. They're already walking a thin line with Royce Lewis.
  22. nicksaviking
    It's too bad, I was hopeful for both, but I'm not regretful about pulling the plug early as this team often pulls it too late. (Except for Joe Benson. DFA'd??? noooooooooo!) Seemed like Winder had good velocity but his pitches didn't move enough. Major leaguers teed off on him, and even while racking up strikeouts in the minors, the pitches the batters didn't miss, got spanked. As for Severino, I think he was a casualty of a culture change. At the end of the 2023 season it was clear the Twins needed to move away from the three true outcome players. As Ash said, he could pull a Brent Rooker, though even Rooker was kept around long enough to get included in a trade. Have to think other teams didn't value Severino too much or the Twins wouldn't have let him walk for nothing.

    Former Twins (almost) playoff savior Cole Irvin is signing with the Doosan Bears. That seemed pretty quick to opt to playing overseas. Almost like everyone already knew that was his only option. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2024/11/cole-irvin-signs-korea-kbo-doosan-bears.html I'm not even going to pretend I found it on the Korean website MLBTR linked to.

    Daniels has looked like a rookie the last few weeks. Looks like a pretty easy code to track too.
  25. nicksaviking
    They almost exclusively ran the ball in the second half, I'm guessing in reaction to Hurt's extreme inaccuracy. It's going to have to be a good run stopping team that handles them. But a good run stopping team probably will handle them just fine.
