[quote=freddyg12;427519]Why would we do that? Blades' natural position is MLB & if he develops he'd take Fletcher's spot in a year or two. Rocky is a weak side olb.

I can only see letting him walk if he's still injured or asking way too much.[/quote]

I have to assume that GTripp was referring to Rocky's higher risk of injury.

ACL injuries tend to hamper performance, and if Rocky can't develop over the next two years because of it, it would be hard to justify giving him an extension.

Either way, Blades gives the team options, but I doubt he will ever start at MLB. Probably too much responsibility for him, even if it was his college position, but I guess that's what we said about Pierce too.

[quote=Mattyk72;427516]Sounds like Briggs to the 49ers is pretty much a done deal.[/quote]

Everything I'm hearing has Samuel going to Philly- 5 years $50 million. He and Lito make a pretty formidable tandem.

Yeah, PFT is reporting the deal to be worth $47.2M over 5 years, averaging around $9.5M a year.

Interesting, I thought it was something like 6 years, $60-65 million (maybe that includes the bonus?)

Not sure, but PFT says 5 years, $47.2M, and they reference The Sporting News...

Yeah I think Clayton is saying something similar now. I think I misunderstood him when he was talking earlier today.
