Non-Sharks Bay Area Sports Thread XXVIII

I expect that signing to work out as well as Steve Carlton, Orel Hershiser, and Randy Johnson did for the Giants.

Hershiser was fine - 91 ERA+ in 202 innings. He was below average but hardly a weak spot on the team (really, the weak spot was that Hershiser, Mark Gardner, and Kirk Reuter were the three best starters on the team).

Johnson was pretty meh, but whatever. Carlton was legitimately bad.

Basically, this is a risk-free move that maybe works out, or maybe we release Verlander in May. Either way, whatever, we got another starter (remember, if you have eight starters, you have four starters).

As I watch the end of the Vikings-Rams game, I find myself thinking back to the year 1987 and while Minnesota vs. Buffalo would have been a perfectly acceptable Super Bowl for me (someone would break their streak), I also find myself feeling like a long-term debt has been paid.

Went to the Bulls game in Chicago last Friday when I was there for work and I am all in on the LaVine train. He would perfectly compliment Steph.

Wiggins/Podz/1st for LaVine?

I don't want to give up Kuminga, but would be willing to part with just about everything else.

Saleh is back! Kind of a downgrade for him but definitely an upgrade for the Niners! Yea!!

Huge hire for the Niners. Now build up the DL and re-sign Greenlaw to give him a good front 7 to work with. Would love to bring in DJ Reed too as slot corner.

Huzzah! Special teams might be average this time!

Niners crushing it so far with the Boyer and Saleh hires. Now need to revamp the roster (especially OL/DL)...add that to a long offseason to rest/heal up and an easy schedule, may have a run in them next year.

Jumbo and his son chillin with Mack & Will at the Warriors game today. They got a "San Jose Sharks" jumbotron message tonight. Less awkward than the last time they only put up Celebrini's name when Smith was sitting right next to him.
Broadcasters gave the rooks some flack for being glued to their phones
