Interesting. In this article it says they might use TJ Ward at MLB on third downs. Weird but ok.

Interesting.
As for MLB, they keep talking about Irving, but I've not been terribly impressed with him. Does Johnson have any hope of playing there?
I'm still guessing CB in the first round, depending on whose left the board.
Their A lineup has too much talent for all of them to go cold at once:
1B Morneau (career .279)
2B LeMahieu (career .282)
3B Arenado (career .277)
SS Tulowitzki (career .298)
LF Gonzalez (career .297)
CF Blackmon (career .305)
RF Cuddyer (career .277)
C Rosario (career .274)
If they can get Rosario/Cuddyer back and keep Morneau, Tulo, and CarGo healthy this team is going to lead the majors in pretty much every offensive category.
It all comes down to two things, in my opinion:
1. Belisle and Brothers. If the Rockies are going to make the playoffs, they NEED these two guys to get right. Our bullpen is set up for them to eat up a lot of important innings.
2. Starting pitching, obviously. Nicasio and Lyles have pitched well thus far, but both guys are still young and could struggle for long periods of time. De La Rosa has been shaky this year but has pitched well in four straight starts. If he and Chacin stay healthy and pitch like they did last year, I think we'll at least end up in a wild card.
With all the teams supposedly trying to move from early second roud back into the first for guys like bridgewater I think the chances of them moving back are pretty good as well. I can't think of any scenario where they move up though.
I've not paid any attention to all the lead up to the draft. I really don't understand why they moved the draft back a few weeks. As if they need even more hype around this thing.
Is Bridgewater really expected to fall to the 2nd round? I thought he was supposed to go 1st overall...

Put the draft in May sweeps for ratings. But I agree, the two extra weeks wasn't needed.
One thing is sure, if you really need a QB this isn't a draft you get all excited about.
As for the Rockies, it's nice to see them doing well, hopefully they can all stay healthy for the bigger part of the season.

There was a quote from a GM saying that he thought Bridgewater was a 4th round QB. I don't agree with that, but that's some dude's assessment.
All it takes though is for just one team to love a player and grab him.
Regardless, I think you're going to see some QB's slide and teams at the end of the round are going to probably be deciding to invest in a long term QB project or move back and let these early second round teams move up to snag them.
It could be just blowing smoke but a lot of these early teams in the 1st round seem to be sending out the vibe that they're going to wait until late 1st/early 2nd to take a QB. But then you got guys like Jerry Jones saying they want Manziel badly.
Who knows. Everything's a bluff/smoke right now. But it makes for an entertaining draft, that's for sure.

Was saying Boo-urns
for Manziel's sake I hope the Cowboys draft him. Not that he'll ever win a Superbowl there, but he'd make more in endorsements than any other NFLer and just about any other pro athlete besides Tiger and Lebron.

BIG BOWL 'A CHILI!!
If Manziel goes to the cowboys that's your #1 selling NFL jersey next year.
I am stunned Dan Reeves got into the Ring of Fame on Elway's watch. Unless those rumors that they made peace are true.
I'm even more stunned Ed McCaffrey still ISN'T in. Would have figured he would have been in before Nalen and certainly before the 3 honorees this year. although both Upchurch and Mingo are long overdue.

Centers don't usually make the HOF with any regularity, but if they did Nalen would be in. He was as important if not more than McCaffrey in those SB wins.
Maybe he can have Elway hand off to Winder a couple times at his for old time's sake.
I never said I didn't think Nalen deserved to be up there. He certainly does. I'm just surprised Eddie isn't up there and would have pegged him for induction years ago.
I think Elam is next on the list. Bowlen said at his retirement that Elam would be going up as soon as he was eligible.

Yeah the Rockies are pretty fun right now. Arenado just extended his streak to 26 in the 7th inning. Good stuff.
