wasn't the final game haha, honestly was surprised to be in that position with a rookie manager and all of the injuries we've had this year. No doubt Roberts is manager of the year. Can't wait for next season!

Dave did pretty well with what he had, but what really helped was the epic and historic collapse by the Giants in the middle of year from best to worst second half record.   If the Giants figure out that bullpen they'll be back at the top as the clear best team in that division.

Negative. Giants talent is aging and overrated. They need starting pitching as well as bullpen help. We'll see how Free Agency shakes out and all those young arms the Dodgers used this year will be even better next. Dodgers are favored to repeat.

I'd take Bum and Cueto over Kershaw and old Rich Hill any day though.  Giants have a better lineup overall.  They can hit left handed pitchers too.   Their defense is light years better as well.  Urias will eventually start getting called for balks probably but he has a future.   Your bullpen is bad too besides Jansen.   I'm not saying Dodgers can't win that division again, but I don't think they are clearly the better team.  Giants DID have an epic fall and were dominating before.    

How are they aging? lol.  Posey is 29, Belt 28, Crawford 29, Panik 25.   Pence is 33 but not a huge deal and the outfield is older but the infield is going to be great for years.  They'll upgrade this offseason too.  

However, Dodgers are old.  A-Gone is 34, Turner is 31, Utley 37, etc.   Pederson and Seager are the only bright spots really and Puig is well, Puig.   Not exactly a clear favorite.   No doubt both teams will upgrade though, and maybe Dodgers find people that can hit lefties.

gonna have to go with Francona and the Indians over Epstein even though I'd love Lester to get another ring.

On paper and all stats, Cubs should win, but anything can happen.  Indians starters are full of right handed hitters and that bodes well for the Cubs, even better that Schwarber can play DH in the series and feasts on righties.   They handled the Blue Jays power lineup though, which is something, but the Cubs can nickle and dime you and win without the long ball if they have to.    It's going to be a good series and fun because two new teams are in it.   Sucks Joe Buck is announcing though.

on paper the Sox should have beaten the Indians but we all saw how that series played out. I'm not sure how effective Schwarber is gonna be after being out for so long. The Indians are gonna run on the Cubs, especially on Lester, and they remind me of the Royals with how they can beat you with smallball. This was the WS I wanted to see after the Sox got eliminated so I'll be happy with the result either way.

    • Honestly for over month. I was meaning to do a troll "Super sleeper WR had a off year on a bad team...." thread that featured Dionte Johnson...... let the poop fly. I didn't mind it either, Ive been looking to use that gif for months. Juan cannot take all of them..
    • Steal of the century with Nolen at 57. It didn't stop there either. I know you cannot fill all the needs/wants, WR was just never in the cards. Since it felt fantasy I drafted a Clemson player.... I feel less than 2% chance walker makes it to 8th, he along with jenty are the start of tier 2.  I'd trade yosh for future late rounder since Emery Jones is the RT of the future. Or wait until TC injuries hit OT, yosh should have a little trade value.  2026 this draft could yield 5-7 starters if the lotto is real.....    
    • Ny Times           Jaylin Walker to Raiders   8. Carolina Panthers: Mykel Williams, edge, Georgia The second Georgia player to go in the top 10, Williams was injured in the 2024 opener against Clemson and didn’t get to play much in the first half of last season. But he was back for a big game at Texas in October and gave UT fits, notching two sacks. He had two more sacks against the Longhorns in the SEC title game. The 6-5, 260-pounder has 34 1/2-inch arms with potential that makes D-line coaches giddy. “He was banged up a lot this year, but when he was close to 100 percent, he’s super twitchy,” an SEC tight ends coach said. “He’s a freak.” He’ll boost a Carolina team that had the worst pass rush in the league. “He’s more of the traditional defensive end guy than Walker,” said an SEC O-line coach who was really impressed by both Georgia players. “He can either be that 3-4 outside linebacker or 4-3 end. He has real pass rush ability. I think he’s an elite edge rusher. He’s great chasing from behind, and he can play the run well enough.”   ESPN Rd 1 8. Carolina Panthers Jalon Walker, Edge/LB, Georgia The Panthers have made a series of edge rusher investments over the past two years, but none has massively moved the needle. The Panthers -- who allowed the most yards per play (6.0) and tied for the third-fewest sacks (32) last season -- could truly address their need in the top 10, though. Walker had 6.5 sacks in 2024 even though he spent a lot of his time patrolling the middle of the field at off-ball linebacker. Carolina could deploy Walker in a hybrid role since it needs a boost at both linebacker and edge rusher.   rd 2  57. Carolina Panthers (via LAR) Jaylin Noel, WR, Iowa State At 5-foot-10 and 194 pounds, Noel might be a better fit in the slot than outside. But he has serious explosion, averaging 14.9 yards per catch last season en route to 1,194 yards and eight scores. Noel could join Xavier Legette and Jalen Coker to form an intriguing young WR corps.   NFL.COM. IDEAL FIRST 2 picks Round 1: No. 8 overall: Tyler Warren, TE, Penn State Round 2: No. 57 overall: Kevin Winston Jr. S, Penn State The Panthers might have bigger needs on their roster than at tight end, but they are unlikely to find a more impactful player on offense than Warren. His presence as a safety valve and red-zone threat would aid Bryce Young's progression as a third-year starter. In this scenario, they take Winston -- a rangy, secure tackler -- to play beside free-agent pick-up Tre'von Moehrig. By taking two prospects from the same school with their first two picks, they follow the lead of the Rams (who actually traded Carolina this year's 57th overall pick as part of the process of pairing Jared Verse and Braden Fiske of Florida State) and Jaguars (who took Brian Thomas Jr. and Maason Smith out of LSU) last year.
