Really hope this comes out at some point.

He had more money on the table out west from SF and LAR (not sure about guaranteed). If it wasn't us, it was going to be someone else. He chose to stay here and try to make up for his missed time. All the talk is making it sound like he should be ready week 1. As long as he gets some reps and knows the playbook, the heartache is all for naught..

FWIW, on reddit, Jim O. is saying training wheels were the plan all along for Tyler. They want him to practice some before the regular season. Guessing keeping him on the PUP is insurance if something were to happen while working out off to the side and they wouldn't have to burn a roster spot if he tweaked a hamstring or ankle and could keep him PUP'd until week 7.

Have to imagine it won't be long. Looks like after that hit he took in the Texans game last year, he tried to practice with an epidural, and they had to shut him down. Going to be another one of those what-ifs in a long list of them for this franchise.

The guy has had three back surgeries thus far due to slipped disc's. Just came out he tweaked his back in the spring. He's more than likely looking at some kind of disability sooner than later.

Hoping this is precautionary. Its sad to see a guy in his mid-twenties body just giving up on him. Back injuries are terrifying.

Lawson is a freak. 6'2/265 and chiseled. Must be nice.

Thanks for ruining my future child's college fund. You're a real asshole, pal!

Really? I've heard from a couple of my buddies that the check took awhile to the point that they didn't think it would ever come. Maybe I'll get back into it once vacation debt dies down.

I'd hammer the over on that one as well.

Not a big bovada fan. I've heard some horror stories in trying to cash out. Not that I ever have any money left to cash out at the end. I'm probably going to just wait it out until it pops up around my neck of the woods and do actual tickets. Last thing I need is to get back into live betting...

Bless your heart. Lucky man. That one looks as easy as the Russia -1 last Thursday against Saudi in the WC. I don't love our schedule, but I think we get at least 7. This team has had so many one score losses over the past two years. Probably moreso Marvin than bad luck, but I'd hammer that over if I could.

Holy shit.

With Mes, you can probably only flip him to an AL club as designated hitter, maybe. Just not a very good catcher anymore with that hip. With Harvey, if he catches some kind of lightning in a bottle, you might be able to get some kind of prospect at the deadline. This team has blundered too many trades for prospects with their stars at this point that I wouldn't be surprised if they were in the cellar for awhile longer. Got nothing for Cueto or Chapman. Got an all-star caliber third baseman for Alfredo Simon though. Figure that out? Best prospect coming up is a third baseman who is going to have to shift to second and take one of our best hitters out of the lineup (unless someone can shift to shortstop). Still trotting Hamilton out there and the best centerfield prospects are a few years away from the majors. Young pitchers that still can't find control.

Unless the pats leapfrog us, looks like ragnow should be ours.
