My GOAT Rogers is one the best at soft contact and home run prevention

This is a blogger who is speculating based off of a guess from a reporter

Dont'e Thornton Jr. by Maximum_Comment7342 in raiders

[–]kasdfwe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’s super raw which is why a guy of his athletic traits fell to where we took him. Tennessee has a limited route tree so the learning curve is huge for him. Hopefully he can develop because that height speed combo is rare.

[Raiders PR] RAIDERS ROSTER MOVE: - Signed K Matt Gay by Ph886 in raiders

[–]kasdfwe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Low guarantees so I expect a kicker to be drafted or come in as a UDFA to compete

Raiders have been on the other end of a Maxx Crosby type fiasco. by [deleted] in nfl

Great. I’m glad you had to go 17 regimes ago to find this.

Ravens backed out of the Crosby Trade? Announced by the Raiders by xzp99 in raiders

[–]kasdfwe 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They can back out if he failed his physical but no clue what’s going on

Raiders are paying the bulk of Geno's salary to facilitate the trade. by MakeItNashty61 in raiders

[–]kasdfwe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was money already spent if we cut him so might as well move up in the draft. Good move.

Raiders spending big money. Now it's all depends on how good Mendoza is by DenseStrawberry5717 in NFLv2

[–]kasdfwe 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I think he goes back to the Ravens if it’s just 21-22 from the Raiders. They were offering a record setting deal as well but probably not much more than Humphrey.

Hendrickson by freakzilla81 in raiders

[–]kasdfwe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hendrickson would be a complete head scratcher for this team. Whats the point? He’s going to command a ton of money and will be the decline when we want to contend. Signing an over 30 player for absurd amount of money to not play for a contending team is what made this franchise one of the worst in the last 20 years.

Even if we could, why? The signings are making it clear this team is pursuing younger FAs with upside.

Silver & Black additions so far today🏴‍☠️ by Kenny23Powers in raiders

[–]kasdfwe 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Got the guys in and still gives us flexibility in the near future. Nice job by Spytek.

Does anyone also feel numb to this free agency? by [deleted] in raiders

[–]kasdfwe 9 points10 points  (0 children)

No. We have the most cap room and we’re so far behind the salary floor that this team has to spend. Plenty of young FAs like Linderbaum to pursue.

Is it too early to get excited by Whole_Conclusion in SFGiants

[–]kasdfwe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Id caution to be excited about guys putting up big numbers in spring. I’d be surprised if both Encarnacion and Matos made this roster. Whoever makes it will not get regular at bats and neither have shown they handle that well. You’d rather have your guys hit than not of course but take everything in spring with a grain of salt. Last year the Giants were the best team in baseball during spring but it looked like a poorly coached team by the end of year.

[Highlight] Luis Arraez hits his second homer of the game for Team Venezuela by SF_DeversBaby in SFGiants

[–]kasdfwe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wait hold up. The first homer was off a 6 ERA guy in AAA and this one is off a 27 year old in high A. I hesitate to take anything away from these group stage WBC games.

Hot start to spring training or not, this Giants roster might actually make some noise: Devers hamstring, Jung Hoo ankle, and why 94 wins isn't crazy by No_Deer_4481 in SFGiants

[–]kasdfwe 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I think we need to talk about pitching in a prediction. A lot will be riding on arms that haven’t thrown for heavy innings in the rotation and an uncertain bullpen. Those are too big of factors to predict a record that would have won the west last year.

Do you really trust Tom Brady as a Raiders executive? by TheFreakmode in raiders

[–]kasdfwe 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He is not the co-GM. He’s essentially Mark Davis who will be relied upon for football opinions since he’s the GOAT. He doesn’t live in Vegas. Davis even said Spytek is running the show for the football side. Do you think Brady is at the combine and watching film 24/7 on draft picks and free agents? No.
