QUOTE (shipps @ Feb 9, 2017 -> 01:47 PM) Jabari Parker torn ACL out for the next year. Same knee too. Gotta feel for the kid.

QUOTE (Baron @ Feb 9, 2017 -> 01:21 PM) Sears wrong again. What a surprise. Leave Chill/JoeCoolman's boy alone.

Melky better be gone by the trade deadline.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Feb 9, 2017 -> 06:20 AM) Again, the Knicks have a generational talent that if he maxes out and stays healthy front offices will have to gameplan for. And again. You're better than that. One of the very few here that actually knows basketball, don't make me question your knowledge for the first time son.

QUOTE (Sox-35th @ Feb 8, 2017 -> 01:35 PM) Martin Havlat retires. Tallon gets a lot of credit for moving away from him, because he was never as valuable again as he was in 2009. Tallon wanted to sign him.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Feb 8, 2017 -> 05:54 AM) Don't think they're really that sincere about competing yet. They aren't. This isn't the usual "one up Boston" offseason for them.

Lets hope Moncada keeps his plate discipline..

Even if Moncada, Giolito, Lopez, Fulmer, etc. come in later in the year and are excellent, it's still hard to see that happening even with the most optimistic fan.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Feb 7, 2017 -> 10:01 AM) That's a bad lineup and way RH. But is it #1 overall pick bad?

Kyrie Irving is just so damn clutch.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Feb 6, 2017 -> 05:12 AM) castoff players like Moss Lmfao. (And he didn't win with Moss) I'm drunk, but I stabd by what I said. Two things the media won't talk about that SHOULD be talked about more. Julio's catch (it'll be Edelman's that they'll remember) and Belichick nearly pulling a Pete Carroll.

I still maintain Montana is the greatest QB ever (4-0 in the Super Bowl cannot be ignored) but Brady is easily top 3... really top 2 after Montana. He was lucky he had the greatest coach of all time sure, but he's the one who has to throw the footballs. The media will portrait Brady as the greatest ever though, no doubt. There are still some who feel Montana is including myself.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Feb 5, 2017 -> 01:53 AM) Not that I have any knowledge, but Avisail Garcia seems the exact type of player with whom Williams would have fallen in love and Hahn would have declined. From what I remember and understand, KW wanted Avi and Hahn wanted Middlebrooks. Wouldn't have worked out in either case.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Feb 4, 2017 -> 09:17 PM) Panarin is so awesome, some ridiculous passes today. By far the best game I've ever seen him play. He was fantastic. Hartman was damn good as well. Crow was better this game, but still 3+ GA post appendix is a bit worrisome, but much better tonight.

QUOTE (Brian @ Feb 4, 2017 -> 04:34 PM) Lame dunk contest this year. LaVine out with torn ACL Damn that's a shame. He's fun to watch.

QUOTE (steveno89 @ Feb 3, 2017 -> 04:05 PM) I'd love to get Franklin Perez from Houston I think they like him alot though I know DirtySox loves him. Great prospect, doesn't get talked about nearly enough here.

Good segment with Inside the NBA last night. Barkley and Kenny were fantastic. Shaq looked like an idiot with his rebuttals. He's almost as sensitive as today's athletes.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 2, 2017 -> 10:56 AM) MLBRosterMoves ‏@MLBRosterMoves 5m5 minutes ago .@Cardinals sign RHP Carlos Martinez to 5-year contract with club options for 2022 and 2023. 5 years, $51 million Sox really started a trend with teams locking up their core players to lucrative deals. Can be trade assets later if team doesn't compete.

What's up with these players and playing after no appendix? Crawford is turning into Adam Dunn lately.

QUOTE (steveno89 @ Feb 1, 2017 -> 06:57 PM) Luken Baker is an excellent 2018 draft prospect as well Joe Gray is another. Buddy of mine who does scout work in the Cubs org raves about that kid.

QUOTE (reiks12 @ Jan 31, 2017 -> 10:03 PM) If you love this kind of stuff you should be doing an online OOTP league.. He's been there, done that. (although I secretly hope a few of us do it again someday)

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jan 31, 2017 -> 03:13 PM) People can hate LeBron if they want but he's 100 percent right here. Completely disagree. J4L is right on the money with his assessment. I honestly wonder if other players have the same lack of respect for LBJ. Noone voted for him to be an all star. Not one player.

QUOTE (oldsox @ Jan 30, 2017 -> 03:01 PM) 2016 was tough year for Sox rookies. Coats, Smith, Davidson, Tilson all injured immediately upon seeing action. Keep Moncada away from these guys. He's a top prospect just like Tim Anderson was. He should be fine.

Farm system, sure. But how are we an improved without Sale and Eaton?

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Jan 30, 2017 -> 01:05 PM) Stolen from the minor league catch-all thread: Chris Cotillo @ChrisCotillo now MLB awards Cardinals' two top picks (no. 56 and no. 75) in 2017 draft to Astros. Cardinals will pay $2M fine to Houston. With the additional picks, maybe the Astros would be more willing to match our request in a deal? They can easily give up a conditional pick + now along with the spects. It's interesting, but I still think Luhnow is too gun shy/prospect happy with his guys.
