| We have to play better.. |
| 04.23.05 (1:28 pm) [edit] |
I don't want Baird fired. Pena? Sure.. Baird has learned on the job and made some nice moves. Baseball Prospectus is heating up the Sweeney trade talk. O's, Rangers, and Halos lineup as potential suitors. A bidding war between Anaheim and Texas could really benefit us. Neither team is fiscally responsible and they both have some nice prospects.
Chiefs Draft: Derrick Johnson: I've read a lot of the negative scouting reports that emphasize Johnson not blowing through blockers or laying tremendous hits. Yeah that's because he's usually trying to strip the ball. Honestly, I didn't see many players play smarter than Derrick Johnson in college. The "he doesn't lay people out" scouts remind of the same idiots that praised Roscoe Crosby & Colt Griffin in HS. Is he fast? Yes. Does he make plays? More than any LB I have ever seen. Does he make tackles? Well he made 450 over 4 years. DJ will force 10 turnovers per season by himself. His tremendous speed and good size prevent him from having to be a tremendous tackler. With the three elite corners and Merriman off the board this was a no-brainer.
