Agreed. Despite it being focused around a pretty small set of regular users, we tend to keep it pretty lively for a basketball board.

Every online baseball community I know is pretty small in comparison to its basketball & football sibling boards. And that's fine.. those communities are close with long-time friends. But I'm not sure why anyone would deny the decline of baseball in America, as partially represented by the disparity in activity across sports.

No way the Giants get Max, not after the last Boras client they signed for big money.

Agreed. I think Shields is a minor possibility, but that's about it.

They'll probably end up trading for Zobrist. I hope it's not Crick or Susac though.
