A Little Hot Stove Talk

SU just stumbled across some hot stove talk related to Eduardo Nunez, long-time SU fave:

SU says very interesting.  When he’s healthy, which is not all the time unfortunately, Nunez can hit and run.  I would love to see him back in the Bronx.  The article still talks about Todd Frazier being in the mix but he may be asking for more years and dollars than Cashman is willing to give.  SU says hang tough, Brian.

Credit to long-time SU subscriber, D. Stockel, who alerted SU to the rumor that some in the Knicks organization are ready to sign Trey Burke to an NBA contract now:

They would have to cut someone from the roster to do that.  Fortunately, there must be 5 or 6 candidates for that.  Apparently, there is some type of G-League Showcase on January 10th at which time other teams can get in the mix.  Sessions, Baker or Jack can go.  Burke can score and with KP running on fumes, they are badly in need of offense.  It’s a low cost, low risk, high reward move.  But Knick fans know, they often do the opposite.

Check out the Brooklyn Nets.  Play hard every night.  Up tempo game, fun to watch.

Michigan State is now #1 and they are the team to beat this year along with Duke.  This may be their year.  They also have an easy Big Ten schedule which should help them secure the #1 overall seed come March.

  1. The only knock on Nunez is his defense. I think this really bugged Girardi. Clearly he’s a cheaper alternative than Machado and if he’s cheaper than Frazier then he should be Yankee again.

  2. Happy New Year SU. No need to worry. Frazier will probably be the Mets Big Signing this year. Oy Vey!

    I agree 100% with you on the Nets. They are doing a great job rebuilding that team, especially given the lack of picks they inherited. Spencer Dinwiddee besides having a great name is the most inspirational story of the year. The rest of the team plays like a team, something unusual these days. Maybe in a few more years they will be the Spurs East.
