Pros And Cons Of Rookies

For hundreds of years sports have been used as a way for kids and adults to cope with stress but now with all these talented players it’s no longer fair for the talented players to play with the terrible players so in order to keep the talented players happy they created tryouts. Tryouts are a kind of physical test that are used to determine what players are talented and deserve a spot on the team and what players aren’t very good and shouldn’t be playing with good players. Tryouts are beneficial for both players and schools because it allows poor schools to play and it reduces the number of players and therefore helps develop gifted players. Tryouts cut down money by letting those who are good stay making it better for games that are very costly such as football. This is why many believe that sports are beneficial because they don’t put poorer schools in debt, also it doesn’t make schools have to pay to get the materials needed, and finally they make it fair for the good players by giving them more playing time.

         Already this year, many college basketball players are entering the draft early. Earlier this year, Maurice Taylor from Michigan, has

It was a very warm and tense place in the gymnasium of the Alpena High School. A group of freshman and sophomore baseball players were waiting for the words you wanted to hear which was “Congratulations” or the not so good news of “Sorry” from the coach deciding if you made the team. Personally, at the start of baseball tryouts I thought to myself it’s going to be a toss up to see if I would make the team having a 50/50 chance. I was nervous for the most part because there were an abundace of upperclassman also trying out for the team that were on it last year. There were twenty-seven people trying out for fifteen spots to play JV baseball.

Both players are now under contract for the 2018-19 season and set to make a $1.6 million non-guaranteed salary. However, they could become unrestricted free agents next offseason, if not signed to an extension.

The same night, another trade was struck between the Arizona Diamondbacks and the Atlanta Braves. The Braves sent the young stud Shelby Miller, who recorded a 3.02 ERA in 2015, to Arizona in exchange for top D-Backs prospect, Dansby Swanson and two other prospects. This move proved that the Dbacks want to go all in for 2016. There are still many players on the market who have yet to be signed, primarily outfielders. Outfielders such as Jason Heyward, Yoenis Cespedes, Alex Gordon and Justin Upton have yet to reach deals with teams. The Giants, after losing out on the major free agents and trade candidates that they wanted are the frontrunners to sign the 2015 World Champion Alex Gordon of the Kansas City Royals. The meetings conclude on December 10th, but the offseason won’t stop. Many deals will continue to be made all the way up until January before spring training. The current rumor now is that Jason Heyward will choose between the Cubs, Angels and Cardinals. An outfield consisting of Heyward and Mike Trout would be one of the best defensive outfields in all of baseball because they are both spectacular

The true wildcard of the 2018 NFL Draft has to be LSU edge rusher Arden Key. He is viewed as a big-time boom or bust prospect, and it is very tough to gauge his value. With the Bears obvious need for an edge rusher, all options need to be analyzed and considered. With his down year and off the field issues, he is falling on some draft boards after being viewed as a future top fice draft pick before this season. Below is a review of this polarizing draft prospect.

This shows that the NFL is a league that anything can happen at any time. Nate was released from the Broncos early in his career without even hearing it from them first. Now players find out if they are traded or released by twitter before they hear from the team they are a part of. Everything is changing and anything can happen at any moment.

Over the offseason, the Packers did their due diligence when it came to the running back position as they did not re-sign Lacy and drafted two young running backs in BYU’s

Overall, the team didn’t take any huge losses during the offseason. Julius Thomas walked to join the Jacksonville Jaguars (maybe he got tired of winning?), but Virgil Green and Owen Daniels together show enough promise that Thomas shouldn’t be missed too

No matter how good the scouting staff of a team is, how players will produce is unpredictable. The transition from college to the pros is a monumental one — just ask Jared Goff. While Cleveland’s quarterback quandary may still be without a definitive answer, Dak Prescott and Tom Brady (fourth and sixth round picks, respectively) are proof that you just never

However, many NBA teams have been criticized to not be able to identify the valuable players in the draft. For instance, the Cleveland Cavaliers (CLE) selected Anthony Bennett with its No.1 pick in the 2013 NBA draft. Only after 1-year stay with CLE, he was traded to Minnesota Timberwolves (MIN) and then waived by MIN. Consider the fact that the draft picks become increasingly valuable, a NBA franchise has to come up with a better draft

With the Los Angeles Rams giving up a King sized ransom to the Tennessee Titans for the first pick – percentages are high for this year’s top QB prospects, North Dakota State’s Carson Wentz and California’s Jared Goff to get selected with the first two picks of the NFL draft. The Rams are in dire need of a franchise passer – the same goes for the Cleveland Browns, who had the second pick before trading it to the Eagles today in exchange for multiple picks.

As NFL teams were breaking camp and getting ready for their respective season openers, several teams had some official team business that needed to be addressed before the start of the new season. The Indianapolis Colts took care of one piece of business when they successfully locked down starting left tackle Anthony Castonzo in a four-year deal worth $43.6 million.

Football: the sport that encapsulates the spirit of the United States. Children grow up watching their favorite National Football League (NFL) teams compete in a game that is better known for its strength and speed than its safety concerns. Some of these fans make up the 1.23 million American youths aged 6-12 who play tackle football (Farrey). Elated parents cheer on their children at football games, encouraging them to throw down their opponents as they compete for victory. It is not uncommon for players to suffer hits to their heads during gameplay, on account of many headbutts, tackles, and the like. After harming such a sensitive body part, they can suffer traumatic brain injuries, some of which are fatal. As parents have a responsibility

When I was younger I used to play baseball. Most years we didn't do too good but one year we went undefeated and we made it to the championship. Once we heard who we were facing the coach wanted us to practice more. We were facings team from another school district that was undefeated. We practiced all week more and harder than usual.
