    My wife's birthday (sneaking in a post before we go out) and I really only watch Big 10 basketball...so I'm afraid anything I offer might be as off as this Wyoming poster on their site...

     

    My son has a birthday this week.  My wife has never understood the priority of basketball first.  He's turning 18 this week, so I'm hoping he feels comfortable telling mom that basketball is more important than having Uncle Cletus and Aunt Millie over for cake and ice cream.

    I think he means Race Thompson rather than "Johnson." Maybe he looked at XJ's name and Race's numbers...

    And it's painfully apparent from the last sentence he hasn't seen us play 😮

    Bet Coach Shep didn't know X shot 55% from the field.  :coffee:

    I would rather have Murray.  Not because of the outcome of the game, but because he plays more under control and competes on defense.  The guy just does everything at a high level.  Kris Murray is going to be a force in the Big 10 next year.  He may not get to his brother's level, but he is still going to be pretty darn good.

    So, are you agreeing or disagreeing with yourself?  :coffee:

    No it’s not. The Reds were always going to trade Gray and wanted to open a rotation spot for Greene or Lodolo. They got a prospect that has the potential to be special. Yes, he’s a prospect but it’s what the Reds have to do if the want to be able to compete consistently. It’s the same thing the Rays do year in and year out. 

    Wil they use the $10M they save to upgrade the rest of the roster?  The answer is NO.  Of course, they already jettisoned Barnhart, Miley, and Castellanos with no return, so the salary saved so far is actually significantly more than that.   

    They need a right-handed bat.  They have to use some of this money to acquire a bat.  Otherwise, I have visions of Kyle Farmer as our DH when Stephenson is behind the plate.
