    Reed is a BIG dude.

    Nova throwing strikes...keep it up.

    So did I. McCann's was a rope.
  8. poppysox
    A ding.

    I'm Jonesing to get Anderson back in the lineup.

    I live in Michigan so these West Coast teams are 10pm starts. Game has to be good or I won't make the finish.

    There is no such thing as a troll with over 34,000 posts. It's hard to stay that involved in your favorite team much less one you are just goofing around with. Secondly, I think Greg has plenty of company as the type of fan who wants to try and win every game in every year no matter how unlikely. Rebuilds are really hard to sit through. Lastly, none of us like it when our favorite player or players are traded. We like our guys no matter what. They may be bums but they are our bums. Like most of you I thought the rebuild was necessary and past do. I hated to trade Sale and Q...and to a lessor degree Eaton. Trading the established good guys is how you get multiple young good guys in return. We are now at the final stages and we are all anxious to get to the winning stage. These final trades or acquisitions are going to be interesting as we will get a glance into Hahn's thinking. I encourage you to get off Greg's back. He's a White Sox fan...I'm a White Sox fan...you all are White Sox fans. There aren't that many of us so we need to stick together.

    We could throw in Yomer.

    If we all agreed with each other all the time...there would be nothing to discuss on this forum.
  14. poppysox
    That wouldn't do it for me and I bet it doesn't do it for Hahn. We will see soon.

    Greg...sometimes you deal from a strength to strengthen a weakness. Not all trades are for prospects. We traded Tommy John for Dick Allen. You have to wait to see the deal before hating it.

    Or relief pitching for that matter.

    People talk about Abreu having value as a mentor. I have seen many of our players talking with McCann in what looks like mentoring type discussions as well.

    I'm more than fine with keeping both of them. My feeling is that if you have a team that on paper is going far in the playoffs...two quality relievers of this stature make any of those teams heavy favorites. Again...it only takes one team to think these guys are the missing peace. By the way...the Yankees deal was partially done to get the relief of Frasier's salary and half ass play.

    Collins as a back up catcher to McCann works well for bring him along. Catching 2 or 3 times per week and occasional DH and pitch hit duties. Fisk and Karkovice did this for some time.

    Rodon

    poppysox replied to Flash's topic in Pale Hose Talk

    You would think Rodon would want to be part of what's going to happen here. Boris is the wild card.
  21. poppysox
    Won't surprise me if he's gone in two weeks.
  22. poppysox
    You are correct. This package requires a HAUL.
  23. poppysox
    Greg...If we traded those three guys we would be getting a haul that you would love. I don't think you need to worry.
  24. poppysox
    I agree with you that getting the extension done would be smart. But...can you imagine the impact on the turnstiles Robert & Madrigal would have? The park would fill up quickly.
  25. poppysox
    Maybe even closer.
