That's an overly pessimistic viewpoint.
Didn't people say similar, hand-wavy, dismissive things about Lowry before he came to Toronto?
You could just as easily say that he simply hasn't learned how to play properly yet in his ~120 or so professional games.
You know more about basketball than I do but I feel like some would disagree. I think it's hard to score 51 points in a game and not have a high upside.
I understand Terrence Ross' upside but between his playoff disappearance last season and the lack of growth this season, he'd be my trade chip of choice. Does he have good value as a 23 year old who was an 8th overall pick?
Is there a reason? Sure. Yahoo is stupid and frequently refuses to implement obvious innovations.
You'd like to assume they'll have a DL+ since hockey this year has an IR+.... but you never know. This is the company that continually hurts their own product with ill-advised UI "updates" that actually make navigation worse.
Not really sure what we can do about that.
My opinion on it would probably just be, "them's the breaks, sonny".
Maybe Yahoo will put an IR+ / DTD type of thing in baseball this season.
Before we do cuts next month and get into DDL Season #3, does anybody have any general concerns, things they want to discuss, votes they want to bring forth, or anything of the like?
Your offer was pretty fair. I wasn't intent on trading Ryu though or anything, I just liked the value and upside with Hamels 2.0 and the newest Mystery Cuban Sensation.
Your rotation certainly could be really good, but it's littered with TJS recovery guys and volatile prospects right now so a lot of your names could go *poof* at any moment which, of course, is basically your luck.
