  1. I mean- draft stock is about money too, it’s just 12 months from now. some guys care. Saban got a discount for a reason. Some guys don’t.
  2. So, Tuesday. Got it. Normal Tuesday.
  3. Number of total votes that will be sent in is unknown so that 17 isn’t a hard and fast number.
  4. Haven’t watched a game which is unusual for me as I love UT hoops. I’m just out on the Terry era and the pre season schedule outside of a couple games was brutally boring and bad. Here’s hoping we can hit 500 in conference and make March madness or flame out big time enough to get a different coach. Will lock in after Xmas with conference starting for at least a bit. What have I missed?
  5. Texas 34 clemson 10 prop bet- total yards for Clemson on offense- 264
  6. Also- kicked off the team for being a dickhead right?
  7. That would be in the everything else that’s more want than need but yeah.
  8. We ended up with a better LB than I thought we needed. I hope this means we either got a screaming deal or even have more money to spend than I thought. Purdue DT seems good. Add the UCF kid and another guy the quality of the Purdue kid and with what we have returning and freshmen showing up in January I’m gruntled. then, we need a stud PK and top end WR and everything else is probably more want than need. Great first week in the portal.
  9. Wouldn’t think so. What is it- like 60 or 70? That’s would make him a borderline in or out.
  10. Who you going to trust more than Baerga? And someone translating his Spanish at that? have faith.
  11. Walker and Santander and this team fucks. Like, best batting order in years: Altuve, Yordan, Walker, Santander, Diaz, Paredes, Chas, pena, Meyers. Thats better than any lineup since 19 I think. If Chas has a bounce back year and meyers and pena combine to be a composite league average.
  12. For sure. Presley isn’t enough. Unless they want to include an OF as well and solve both our problems for a net of 3/75 (after they take back Presley) for Arenado, which would be cool I guess. Then, you could trade Framber strictly for prospects or keep him and figure you have at least a conceivable chance at a pennant. Altuve, Yordan, Paredes, Diaz, Lars N, Arrenado, Chas, Pena, Meyers is a better lineup than what we trotted out there most days last year. Costs 100M which is cheaper than last years lineup. And we’d have picked up some salary relief and top prospect in minor leagues. If that’s all we did that would be an ok off season.
  13. Throw in Montero or LMJ along with Presley and that’s a deal for me.
  14. If St. Louis pays half of his salary (either cash or taking back bad contracts for us) that’s a net push money wise. And more reasonable time commitments (not too much- Bregman and too little- Tucker) in line with the rest of the overall roster.
  15. He’s like a bunch of guys at 27- if they have a really great prime (which he was on his way to last year) and then a decent tail where they are productive until 35 or 36 he can get in. Always bet against HoF guy but if the standard is 70 or so WAR to get in that means he needs 45 or 50 over the balance of his career- a couple 7 or 8 war seasons in his 28 and 29 year seasons and then all of a sudden the math looks like 5 war from 30-34 and play until he’s 37 or 38, which is doable. Bet against, but bet against every 27 year old not named Mike Trout or Griffey junior or the like. Arenado I mentioned in October and was my prediction on this pod for “1 move that’s a little surprising”. Santander and Walker would be my dream moves.
  16. You think Framber is getting traded? If you did an OF there it makes sense to call goldy and see if he wants to come home on a 1 year deal. Or a 1/1 with some vesting stuff. Smith to 3rd in 26 or 27 and Paredes to 1st. Personally Walker makes the most sense but if they wanted to sign Santander and then trade Framber for an above average OF and a prospect or 2 and did the Goldy deal I would be absolutely ecstatic.
  17. Kyle Tucker trade podcast is up. After a lot of boring offseason this feels like the one we finally will alter the franchise with. So far, so good. https://open.spotify.com/episode/0riIezcW10ytyy3C4TTxEz?si=n9sEEPDnREGh-J6IEU0nwQ
  18. Baerga says Astros lead for Santander. That would be pretty awesome.
  19. Disagree man. I think this is a good deal.
  20. Bowden is the gm version (fucking moron) of Ortiz.
  21. Well that’s funny. I could explain for 10 paragraphs what I meant in excruciating detail, but will go against type, chuckle and move on. If it’s you against Linux or 52 I will assume you have the right of it, but none of it made sense to me either way. Too black and white I thought.
  22. I don’t know. I don’t even understand what people are arguing about. Was trying to figure that out because my nature is if I read 3 pages of invective back and forth I want to understand what people are saying, but that’s the part of me my wife describes as spectrum adjacent, so whatever.
  23. I sort of do. It’s sort of the worst of all worlds (Bregman gone, pitching gone some, team worse and then Tucker leaving for nothing). So, it’s my fear and expectation I guess.
  24. I guess I don’t understand what the argument is. Is it- this degree is worth an easy show up job in big time corporate America or is it- this should be pretty easy to monetize a little fame into a comfortable 6 figure living if you played but didn’t star at UT? I think anyone that played and had a modicum of name recognition at UT should be set for 6 figures a year for life trading on that fame if they aren’t a screw up (mortgage, real estate, insurance, car sales, regular run of the mill sales, coaching football at the high school level etc) but those are jobs you actually have to do to get that money, even if the fame gets you in the door and the opportunity. And when I say fame I don’t mean VY level fame or even chance mock level fame, I’m talking Beau Trahan type fame. Tucker Dorsey seems like a good analog. 1 year for UT. Played a decent amount, was known, but not even a starter. He got recruited in personally to Keller Williams, went on some pods where he got advertised and I’m sure he’s doing ok. I’d think any kind of professional services/sales job would be like that for a Texas athlete. Thats my world and what I’d do if an athlete wanted entry to that. I know you have a ton of irons in the fire and I’d assume you would do similar for anyone that had interest in one of your worlds, right? Beyond that I don’t understand what people are trying to say. Being quasi famous, even when narrowcasting, is obviously a good thing for a lot of jobs/opportunities/places.
