    R1/3: Drake Maye QB UNC

    Pumped. Jacked. Can't believe we got him. Seriously, I'm thrilled. The opposite of Mac, he's "toolsy" and enormously talented but needs some seasoning. At least here he has a ceiling we can dream on, and a career long comparison to the QBs who are good enough to win their team a Super Bowl...

    2024 NFL Draft NO SPOILERS MAYE DAY NO SPOILERS

    Ummm... I am ride or die with Bill. But... let's give someone else a chance to draft.

    2024 NFL Draft 1st round gamethread: Maye the odds be ever in your favor WITH SPOILERS

    Right, Goodell usually announces quickly that the 1st team is on the clock, but with 10 minutes to make their pick that's when Mugsy will be subjected to Schefter breathlessly informing us that the Patriots will either use their pick or trade it.

    What do you want Pats to do with #3?

    This has been my concern all along. I mean, theoretically we'd have another 2025 1st rounder (from the Giants/Vikings/whoever), but there's no guarantee either of our picks would be a Top 5 pick, and I don't see why we're any more likely to find The Guy (TM) next year than this year. Also, to...

    What do you want Pats to do with #3?

    Personally as long as Maye holds up a Patriots jersey and smiles for the cameras, I'll be happy whether they draft the Coleman twins or not. Given the similarity of your rankings, if Paul's on the board at #34 would you pick him, or trade down/wait for #68 and hope one of...

    Anxiety is Good for You

    I will not complain that Casas should be up right now I will not complain that Casas should be up right now I will not complain that Casas should be up right now... Smash one Wilyer.

    What do you want Pats to do with #3?

    How dare you not look at everyone and post it here for free!??!!? This is why SoSH remains the best. And also, to me, more reason to stick & pick a QB at #3. Based on your rankings, there should be good OT's available into Round 3, in other words, certainly at #34 and likely at #68 as well.

    Casas has a left rib fracture. He will be out "a while." (4/23 update)

    I think we may have been talking past each other, then. "It's just money" (from me) was a response to a poster who wondered why the Red Sox would try to improve this roster with "assets" at the expense of the 2025/2026 Red Sox. At the risk of being a broken record, my point remains: the Red Sox...

    Casas has a left rib fracture. He will be out "a while." (4/23 update)

    I'm sorry to have taken us off on a tangent about "just money." If the Sox don’t want to risk Cooper clearing the 7 days and electing to be a free agent (as I believe he can since he has more than 3 years service time, my G-d these rules are Byzantine), then yes, he could require a low-level...

    Casas has a left rib fracture. He will be out "a while." (4/23 update)

    It's actually 7 days now. And I'm aware. Yes, if they want him before that window it won't technically be "just money" but it also won't be Teel or Anthony we're shipping off.

    Casas has a left rib fracture. He will be out "a while." (4/23 update)

    Glad you got to go in Pittsburgh! What a gorgeous stadium that is. Anyway, I think there's a number of people on the Board who feel this way and I... just don't get it. The goal of a professional sports team is to win as many games as possible, right? Obviously this isn't possible, but every...

    Casas has a left rib fracture. He will be out "a while." (4/23 update)

    Also interested in this. One of the best articles I could find unfortunately was a Pinstripe Alley post when Judge had a stress fractured rib in 2020 Spring Training (so obviously no clear timeline established there because of that whole global pandemic thing). Still, the article references a...

    Casas has a left rib fracture. He will be out "a while." (4/23 update)

    As @moondog80 says, I don't think we can just take the highest of the projections and expect that. Dalbec will almost certainly be better than one of the worst stretches in recent MLB history (I assume?), but as those stats show, his last two seasons he's had a wRC+ of 79 and 51. His high...

    Red Sox sign Danny Kirwin from the Oakland Ballers

    No doubt he looks like Mr. Wonderful in some of these videos. And I barely know what I’m taking about, but watching the video of his throwing session… I worry he’s a bit of a mirage. Pro scouting is over my head, but I used to be a catcher into college and… kid has incredible stuff but his...

    Casas has a left rib fracture. He will be out "a while." (4/23 update)

    1) Well, all the more reason to act now? A month seems too long -- JD Martinez, also signed as a free agent who missed Spring Training by the Mets, was on his way to the majors in roughly 2 weeks before he hurt his back, right? And we're saying 2 months for Casas, but the reality is it could be...
