Jordan Viars Who doesn’t like young, HS lefty outfielders who can hit? We continue our countdown of top prospects here at The Good Phight, counting backwards from 20 to our top prospect. Jordan Viars, L/L, 18 years old Scouting report, via Fangraphs: Viars is a young, big-framed Texas high school outfielder who is likely headed to a corner in pro ball. He’s short to the ball despite his size, and currently peppers both gaps with doubles contact. He was an athletic two-way high schooler who will be a right field dev project in pro ball.

Rich Barnes-USA TODAY Sports This isn’t how anyone pictured it going but the final chapters still remain Last year at this time we wondered if the Syracuse Orange would be able to play their way into the NCAA Tournament discussion. As January was going to a close Syracuse had a record of 9-5, 3-4 in the ACC, and they looked to be in trouble. The Orange found their footing and clawed into the NCAA Tournament where they rode the hot shooting of Buddy Boeheim into the Sweet Sixteen.

We’re past the halfway point; as of right now, the Detroit Red Wings have more questions than definitive answers. The success of the top line is evident. Lucas Raymond, Tyler Bertuzzi, and Dylan Larkin make up one of the most fearsome units in the NHL. Beyond that, however, depth becomes a very concerning issue.

Photo by Dilip Vishwanat/ The Steelers current focus has to be on acquiring talent, rather than chasing wins. “If you build it, they will come.” That is an unforgettable line from the classic baseball themed movie Field of Dreams. That statement holds true for the NFL and the Pittsburgh Steelers also. If the Steelers rebuild a foundation of NFL quality talent across the roster, the wins will come.

But they also have another task they have to decide on in the next month or two: whether or not to re-sign their free agents. So now is a great time to kick off our 2021 Roster Review series....

If Seattle’s season in the backfield began on a rough note with injuries to Chris Carson and Rashaad Penny, it ended on the high of Penny finally realizing the potential the team always thought he had, if not more so.

Great teams, elite players, brilliant coaches - up and down, left and right, all through the TV/streaming service/social media age, you can find all sorts of “Person A vs. Person B” debates. It allows for us to connect the dots between eras and memories, seeking out similarities and casting out contrasting characteristics, all in the name of finding “the next one”. But...
