  1. Next year 7 of the top 10 dudes in the state (per 247) are from DFW. 2 have already committed to OU. We can’t ignore it next year
  2. Only criticism I have is that we signed a whopping 1 player from DFW (2 if you count Lewis who is from Melissa) after only signing 2 last year. That’s not a good trend
  3. No he didn’t EJ
  4. Aggy about to fill up the jars over the Shep news
  5. 911 - id like to report a twitter murder.
  6. No but Cecil might be available
  7. Coin flip on Bru and Cain means 25% we get both. Sign me up!
  8. There was a good article on the Athletic about the crapshoot of OL recruiting. Herb Hand and Cosmi were featured. Very eye opening.
  9. It's not that he has been written off but that there are enough data points now to say that kids with antics like his don't usually pan out. Especially offensive line where technique and brain power is arguably more important than athleticism
  10. Rams just signed CJ Anderson which doesn’t bode well for Gurley. John kelly is a must add. He’s a league winner if Gurley’s out.
  11. When do the “Bru is torn” articles come out tonight? I enjoy pain.
  12. So Bru is going to magically keep his commitment quiet for over a week despite sending in an LOI tomorrow? I’ll give it 30 minutes before it’s leaked
  13. Maybe Justin Fields leaving so soon will give sanders pause?
  14. Bru seems like an intelligent kid, and looking at the flip side, Kliff has a pretty impressive track record of developing QBs and WRs, going back to Evans at aggy. If/when he chooses USC, I’m sure he’ll be a stud. Easy guy to root for. As for us, we signed Eagles, Woodard and Moore last year to be studs and they effectively redshirted this year. Add in Duv returning for his senior year + Whittington, Smith and Washington, even if we lose CJ and LJ, we’ll be fine at WR.
  15. This one’s a little strange.
  16. Spot on, Mike. Spot on.
  17. Carrington doesn’t need you clicks though
  18. Claudio traded to Brewers for competitive balance pick. Turns out it’s #39 overall next year so not bad if we can ever figure out the whole drafting thing.
  19. Nightingale is a moron. EE staying in Seattle (for now)
  20. Edwin probably not gonna stay in Seattle long
  21. Wild 3 way trade between CLE, SEA (of course) and TB happening
  22. Keith Law on Lynn: The Rangers fell to 67-95 and last place in the AL West last year for many reasons, but their run prevention was a huge one. They allowed 848 runs, tied for second-most in the AL, because they allowed the second-most homers and struck out fewer opposing batters than any other AL team. Their depth chart prior to the winter meetings included exactly one starter who made even 10 starts last year, and that guy, Mike Minor, just finished his first season as a major-league starter since 2014. Adding any starters, even mediocre ones, with the potential to make 25-30 starts was obligatory if the Rangers wanted to survive the 2019 season. They went further than that and added one of the best starters on the market in Lance Lynn, signing him to a reported three-year, $30 million deal, a surprisingly low annual salary given what he showed at the end of 2018. Lynn missed 2016 after Tommy John surgery and returned quickly to make 33 starts in 2017 and 29 more last year, but his potential value was masked by a terrible stretch by the Twins to start last season. After the Yankees acquired Lynn in a trade, he returned to his previous pitching plan, going up with his four-seamer more, and all of his results were better. By Baseball-Reference's WAR, which is based on runs allowed, he generated twice the value in two months for the Yankees that he did in four months for the Twins. Given that performance and his 3-WAR year in 2017, Lynn should be an easy projection for 30 or so starts and at least two wins of value per year on the contract, which might make him the Rangers' best starter this season. At $10 million per year, that kind of production would make Lynn a bargain for any team, even a non-contending one. That in turn would give the Rangers a very tradeable asset come July or next offseason if they aren't contending in that span -- a scenario I think is likely, given where the Astros sit, Oakland's success last season and an Angels club that continues to push to make the playoffs while it still has noted Eagles fan Mike Trout under contract.
