Knicks on tv? Nets on tonight? Big whoop. Don’t cheapen the Bombers by ever including those long-time losers in the same story. We’re intelligent enough to figure out what’s on, and there’re enough program selections so we’re not bored to death from sub-mediocrity. Close out with a “knock-knock” joke if you’re hurting for words.

The article has made its arounds, and even Phillies fans don’t think it holds true.

Did you ever help them out with that VORP and WAR data they were looking for?

I think the photo was Yang and Shawn when he was a kid. I don’t think they gave us a hint on who Yin is.

Kindle profiles as an excellent 4-3 OLB. He’s not a 4-3 DE at all. And he’s far better than Michael Boley, who isn’t “entrenched” in anything, since he looks woefully overmatched and a borderline bust FA signing.

Giants LB’s, both inside and outside:
Michael Boley
Danny Clark
Clint Sintim
Jonathan Goff
Gerris Wilkinson
Chase Blackburn

Number of those players who are solid NFL starters and don’t need to be upgraded: 0

ILB and OLB are equal areas of need. There’s no playmakers there at all. Kindle is an impact OLB and fits both a 3-4 or 4-3 OLB role equally well. He’s a very solid selection.

once again i guess well have to agree to disagree. OLB isnt as much of a need as MLB so why take Kindle when you can take Weatherspoon or Spikes in the 2nd? They could a RB like Spiller or Iupati with 15, instead of Kindle who translates to more of a 4-3 pass rusher anyway

Allow me to restate the lines. Emphasis mine: A-Rod as a 3B: .300/.401/.567/.968, 152 OPS+ Schmidt, career: .267/.380/.527/.908, 147 OPS+ Schmidt, peak (1974-1987): .274/.387/.546/.933, 153 OPS+

Re your mock yest.

Kindle doesnt fit the Giants. Exact same play as Sintim who would probably need to play the weakside where boley is entrenched.
