DH really takes the management of the lineup out of the game. Hate the idea.  Yeah, it keeps aging sluggers around longer but it hurts the professional game.  Not that doing away with it is likely to bring me back to watching the game.  

Must be selfish **** to stick around... they should make room for more deserving people.

No ones calling Dillard. 

Or if they do, it's a "hey when you cutting that jabaroni"

 

Greg Little is equally a bust, went a few picks after Dillard and went for a 7th. It's not a shock if teams saw that deal and are equally low balling a 7th round pick.

Could we possibly get a 3rd for Dillard?

I think you would be lucky to get a 5th

Ertz and Dillard for a 3rd. Make it happen.

Yes - we could definitely get another 3rd string player in exchange for Dillard.  

Dillard and a 5th for Davante Adams

  If they weren't playing baseball for years and then came back to take a spot because of their celebrity's status and absolutely sucked at it....you'd have a point.  

Meh... a lot of those guys sucked at fielding, but used their celebrity status as a (power) hitter to leverage a paycheck.

Sucks that prince tego isnt still with the eagles, always thought he had potential and he would be a good swing tackle.

Sounds plausible.  I don't know what you do in your free time.

Just now, 4for4EaglesNest said:

Meh.  You can do better.  

Nah, I hate the DH and think it destroys the game.   More and more about home runs and strikeouts.  Pitchers that can't bat and hitters that can't field fuel that.

I agree.  I hate it to.  Every f-ing level of baseball is about hitting and fielding your position.  Except the AL.  
 

I meant you could have done better with making fun of my "Tebow is selfish” stance.  Or at least that’s what I thought you were doing.  

Oh, I was.   I hate the DH as much as you hate Tebow though, so my reasoning doesn't have to be sound.  

lol

I aim for mediocre.  Hearing that I've met mediocrity at such a high level is absolutely fantastic news!

I figured upper echelon mediocrity was a little too much!

Swilling beer made you think of him?

I don’t hate Tebow.  I hated the act of what he did.  I hate Dallas fans and Lowie.  That’s about it.  

Fair enough.

ESP was on the radio arguing that Hurts doesn't need to play tonight.  Why risk it.  

 

 

No....I'm serious.  

He needs reps.   But, if the starting OL doesn't stay on the field, he needs to come off when they do.   The receivers need to stay on the field longer than the OL/QB.

Next week too!

Definitely don't want him with backup Oline

Disagree.  He and the WR needs reps.  Why does he need to come off the field when the old starting OL does?  You seriously think he'll be the difference between playoffs and 6 wins this year?  I don't.  Get him the reps.  

That's true.

I was in the car earlier around 12 and had the windows all the way down and couldn't quite hear the full bet but it sounded like Eskin bet ESP $200.  I think one of them had the eagles winning 10 games.  Not sure who.

Oh god no, he is a Cam Newton guy.

 

Good read
