QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 8, 2014 -> 09:38 PM) Kinda funny to see everyone on twitter talking about how great Sale and Samardzija would be as a 1-2 when there's no doubt in my mind Q is the actual 2nd best pitcher. There are others who just want to break up 2 lefties back to back. Not saying I would, but it isn't out of the ordinary.

I'm getting more and more convinced Ravelo is in it. Can be wrong though.

QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 8, 2014 -> 09:29 PM) Hawkins Great guess. Or if it's just "pure hitting prospect" in our minors like Reed was, maybe Ravelo. He fits the OBP type Beane likes.

Already said in a Pale Hose thread, but A's deal Brandon Moss to the Indians for minor leaguer Joey Wendle.

OT: but sharks did their annual holiday video. your move McDonough.

I will say I'm 99.9999% sure Rodon won't be involved.

QUOTE (bmags @ Dec 7, 2014 -> 01:01 PM) I can't believe this vikes Jets game is so entertaining Crazy ending as well. Also, J.J. Watt isn't human.

I love watching Curry play. Been my favorite PG for about three years now. He is the best in the game right now.

OT: Canadiens legend Jean Beliveau dead at 83. Gordie Howe is probably next in line. Not doing well at all.

They traded Eaton to make room for Pollock to man CF for the future. They are not moving him.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Dec 1, 2014 -> 10:41 AM) He's NOT a plus defender, though. Neither is Melky.

QUOTE (Brian @ Dec 1, 2014 -> 06:23 AM) So Brennan Clay (Who?) is accusing is wife of having an affair with DeMarco Murray. Her name is Gina D’Agostini and um.... Murray's baby mama don't look bad neither.

Richards just matched Handzus points total all of last season in 35 less games played...

I wonder how much KW is influencing this deal though. This seems more like Kenny's M.O. not Ricks.

QUOTE (JDsDirtySox @ Nov 28, 2014 -> 11:36 PM) I just got a text from someone I trust that says Samardjiza to the Sox is about to happen. Holy s*** JD. How you been? Talk about a blast from the past.

Barreto is a nice looking prospect, but he is YEARS away.

@JeffPassan: Full trade: Josh Donaldson to Blue Jays, A's get Brett Lawrie, pitchers Kendall Graveman and Sean Nolin, SS Franklin Barreto. Deal done.

QUOTE (LDF @ Nov 28, 2014 -> 08:19 PM) i am thinking Marlins or sCrubs Rosenthal just said it doesn't involve him. We're obviously getting Reddick.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 28, 2014 -> 04:18 PM) Great pass by Versteeg to set up the 3rd goal. He has been amazing this year.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Nov 28, 2014 -> 01:58 AM) It's much easier to replace a LF spot than a SS spot. SS is the most important position on the field and the hardest to replace and find good talent for. LF is one of the easiest positions to replace. It's like trading your QB to acquire a good FB. I really wish I could find Kal or qwerty's post about the SS versus CF debate.

QUOTE (shipps @ Nov 28, 2014 -> 12:56 PM) YES! Agreed. His name alone makes this the best signing of the offseason by far.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. I am off till Tuesday (get holiday pay) so suck it.

A small part of me wants to "buy low" on JBJ but that's mostly bias as he was a personal favorite prospect of mine when he was turning heads a couple years ago in the Carolina league. Plus, he was insanely good defensively last year at CF. He alone improves our outfield defense ten fold. It's a damn shame he can't hit a lick at the MLB level. (yet.. or ever.. who knows) EDIT: I exaggerated on the "insanely good" part. I'll leave that for the Juan Lagares of the world. Still very good though.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Nov 24, 2014 -> 09:39 PM) He's more of a corner guy now (see Rasmus), but he's clearly a much more capable defender than Viciedo, for example. Obviously. That's where I was getting at.
