Falcons O is so unstoppable. They're gonna be a tough out for Dallas or Green Bay.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 10, 2017 -> 12:57 PM) 30 power is 3 to 5 homers a year. His 60 hit tool supposedly translates to .280. You are pretty much describing a lesser averaged, less speedy Juan Pierre. http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/scouting-ex...scouting-scale/ You acknowledging my last sentence on your previous post two pages ago was enough that we were in agreement. Why egg on? (especially when 2B isn't a premier power position anyway) Hell, Eaton's high in homers in the minors was 7 before he came to our park.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Jan 10, 2017 -> 12:26 PM) Give me Meadows, Newman, Keller, and Diaz. Meadows ~ Moncada Newman ~ Kopech Keller ~ Basabe Diaz ~ Diaz I think that's a fair outline. Diaz is not a prospect though. Nor is raw with the upside as the Diaz we picked up from Boston. And you are under rating Keller. Kid is the goods.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jan 10, 2017 -> 12:12 PM) That wasn't even a fans vote, that was a selection by the league. There are rumors because they are announcing the top 100 centennial list of all time players and he might be on it so they want him in the all star game. Still doesn't make it right. The one thing though that this helps is the Hawks cause Panarin has an all star bonus he would've hit and made the Hawks cap situation alittle worse next season.

All Star Game rosters announced. Kane, Toews, Crawford and Keith are in. An absolute joke Toews is in instead of Panarin, yet alone on an all star team this year.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jan 10, 2017 -> 10:38 AM) McPhee is gonna be a snap count rotational player for the rest of his career because of his knees. If Garrett gets there, you take him and don't think twice. Especially don't think about McPhee Not to mention Trevathan might never be the same again after his injury. Garrett should be a no brainer.

QUOTE (Con te Giolito @ Jan 10, 2017 -> 11:10 AM) The player you just described is basically an infield version of Adam Eaton with more power. Eaton was a much better hitter in the minors, but I agree I'll definitely take an infield version of him. Hell, I'll take a poor man's.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 10, 2017 -> 10:42 AM) I hadn't really looked up his breakdown until this. The fact that he has no power tool at all is a big red flag to me. Is he a guy that is going to hit .330 to make up for it? Is he Simmons in the field? If not, I have totally lost interest in him, especially if he is to be the top position player in the deal. Eh.. if he's playing 2B, he doesn't need to hit 20+ bombs a year since it isn't a power hitting position. Will he be an all star? Probably not, but he still can be a very productive player whose high OBP, solid contact rate and solid fielding can be essential in building a world series team. Now I will say this, he better not be the top position prospect in any deal with Q. As a second or third position player? He's fine.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jan 10, 2017 -> 10:29 AM) 41tds to 17 interceptions. 579 attempts. Winston in his final season had 25 TD's to 18 interceptions (467 attempts). To be fair, Winston did run a pro style offense though (and didn't have the same talent around him). But the comparison is fair.

QUOTE (reiks12 @ Jan 10, 2017 -> 06:19 AM) Today is the day everyone. Get ready But it's not Wednesday.

QUOTE (Deadpool @ Jan 9, 2017 -> 11:33 PM) Thank God the Bears don't have the number one pick to blow it on DeShaun Watson. He should be there at 3 though.

DESHAUN. WATSON.

QUOTE (TheFutureIsNear @ Jan 9, 2017 -> 09:09 AM) Rodon had similar problems and cut his walk rate from 4.6/9 to under 3 in his age 23 season...Glasnow will be 23 for most of this year and has barely gotten a taste of the majors so far. How about he gets just a little time to develop? And an even crazier idea, lets see if he actually fails at any point 1st? I agree it's something that should cause some concern, but the idea that we shouldn't want Glasnow is absolutely ridiculous. Completely agree. Hell, if there's one thing sox organization is actually very good at, it's developing pitching.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jan 7, 2017 -> 11:51 AM) if Coats was a highly touted 19 year old like the guy you are comparing him to, you may have a point. Was just about to post the same thing.

I still have a spect crush on Matt Davidson, though the spect light is about up. Still like him. Jordan Guerrero was my guy before it became cool. I hope that kid has a great year and gets a late callup.

Props to Levine for actually breaking something. It's been a while for him.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jan 5, 2017 -> 03:25 PM) I don't think they were aggressive with him at all. They definitely were, especially with a Juco player. Amazing to me he's held his own as he has personally.

I know he's in a small market, but how in the hell is Westbrook not in the top 5 in all star voting? That guy is fun to watch.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jan 4, 2017 -> 12:49 PM) Outside of the lack of talent at the QB position, I've been quite happy with Pace. Same. One of the few bright hires this organization has done.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jan 3, 2017 -> 12:22 AM) C AJ Pierzynski 1B Paul Konerko 2B Ray Durham SS Juan Uribe 3B Joe Crede LF Carlos Quentin CF Kenny Lofton RF Magglio Ordonez DH Frank Thomas BN Jose Valentin BN Robin Ventura BN Tadahito Iguchi BN Herbert Perry BN Willie Harris BN Jermaine Dye BN Aaron Rowand SP Mark Buehrle SP Chris Sale SP Mike Sirotka SP Jose Contreras SP Jon Garland RP Damaso Marte RP Shingo Takatsu RP Matt Thornton RP Bobby Jenks Honorable Mentions: Jim Thome, Toby Hall, Antonio Osuna, Jim Parque, Carlos Lee, Kelly Wunsch, Mike Cameron, Freddy Garcia, Carl Everett, Octavio Dotel, Ken Griffey, Jr. Well look whose back, even if its only for a second.

QUOTE (Deadpool @ Jan 2, 2017 -> 09:38 PM) Jimmy Butler is making it really hard for the Bulls to trade him. 52 points tonight. Absolutely hate that they are wasting his prime like this.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jan 2, 2017 -> 02:39 AM) Yeah, that would be Brady. Dude is gonna win the mvp and he missed the first 4 games. 11-1 record, 28 tds with only 2 picks? I'm completely shook on this one. Depends on you ask. You'll have the crowd who will say Rodgers never had to cheat to get his accomplishments which is completely justifiable.

So I guess Jeffery is staying? https://mobile.twitter.com/AdamHoge/status/...674682447892480

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 1, 2017 -> 03:39 PM) Depends on how much job security he has. If he's trading for future year picks he better be confident he doesn't need that first round pick to save his job after 2017. And I find that ridiculous cause Pace has been far from the problem other than people ripping him on not drafting a QB (yet). It would be a very Bears thing to do however. I think what really got my blood boiling was Loggins and company admitting they had no idea that Jordan Howard was this good when there were people even on this board (I believe Rock was his biggest fan coming out) who said he should be the starting RB from day 1.

QUOTE (Con te Giolito @ Jan 1, 2017 -> 03:36 PM) Leonard Floyd was a puzzling pick as well, especially with the trade up. .... and he was damn good this year as a rookie. (Giants were probably gonna select him next before Bears traded up)
