    What is fair for J.D Martinez’s next contract? Some one suggest...

    So you throw it at Jake Arrieta instead? I think he's the best SP option. Go with an OF of Pollock, Peralta, and Brito?

    The 2017-2018 Around the NBA thread

    Joel Embiid puts up a line of 46pts, 15 reb, 7 ast, 7 blk against the Lakers. Ben Simmons puts up a line of 18 pts, 9 reb (Embiid stole one from him), 10 ast, 5 stl in same game. 76ers fans are lucky.

    Yeah, to squash any remote possibility we were even players in this contest: Hall said the Diamondbacks’ payroll will be “close to where we’ve been the last couple of years.” The club ended last season somewhere above $105 million and next year’s roster projects north of $115 million. That...

    2017-2018 Draft Prospects watch.

    You should take the time to watch Trae Young at OU. He might end up being the best PG of this class.

    There is potential that de Sousa can join the team in Dec, although I don't know how much a Freshman that hasn't practiced with the team at all can contribute. After Lightfoot we have a damn walk-on. BTW, how bad is AZ HS basketball that Lightfoot was POTY?

    KU traded one soft PF headcase (Bragg) for what seems to be another soft PF headcase. We already are thin down low and this just accentuates the problem. Preston was plan B after Ayton was paid for though ;). Good thoughts and hope this gets resolved well for all parties involved.

    Hard salary cap has done nothing to make the NFL teams competitive. Less parity in Super Bowl Champs than in WS Champs. All it does is punish the players. Besides, MLB union too powerful for hard cap. Never going to happen.

    That's insane IMO. Injuries and defensive liability alone should dictate a curb on his AAV, but like I said, AL teams can slide him to DH when his defense becomes an issue. Boras quote from Piecoro calls out DBacks and makes a lot of sense if you ignore the self interest of the commenter: The...

    Offseason Blue Print

    I think it's worth pointing out that with CHC in 2016 and HOU in 2017, this is the second year a complete rebuild team has won the WS. Fans here (along with the FOs and ownership) have fought this strategy for over 10 years preferring to remain middling with the occasional playoff blip. I...

    2017 World Series: Game 7

    Not sure what this means, stats played a huge roll in the games as they helped dictate the managerial moves from lineup to pitching changes as well as pitching and hitting strategies employed by each individual. What a weird comment.

    2017 World Series: Game 7

    This guy is pretty awesome, he's also the guy who housed all those displaced from Harvey and sent a couple first responders to the WS: The man they call "Mattress Mac" has to pay up once again now that the Houston Astros are MLB champs -- to the tune of more than $10 million. Houston business...

    Offseason Blue Print

    An AL team has the ability to offer more years because they can slide him to DH when he defense becomes a hinderance to his value as a player at the end of his contract. As an NL team, I wouldn't go past 3 years.

    Markelle Fultz

    I think Fultz was the best talent they could have selected in the top 5. They needed a secondary ball handler to run P&R when Simmons sits and a shooter beyond the arc off the ball when Simmons plays. That was Fultz more than any other draft pick last year. Tatum is a lane clogger on PHI. He'd...

    Markelle Fultz

    The Sixers needed outside shooting, it was either Fultz or Monk. Neither choice would have paid off in the first week of the 2017-18 NBA season.

    2017 World Series: Game 2

    It's simply the most efficient way to go about offense. The Dodgers are an NL team and the first two games are played in an NL park and yet the Dodgers don't play "small ball" because it's inefficient baseball. The most boring parts of the last two games have been watching the pitchers try and...

    OT: Girardi OUT as Yankees' Manager

    Despite his dismissal, Girardi did a very good job as Yankees manager, most notably winning the World Series back in 2009. Even so, his 10-year tenure at the helm in the Bronx featured disagreements over player usage and other things between him and the front office. Like with a lot of big...
