QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 21, 2014 -> 06:23 PM) I wonder how Clint Reif died. Just sad really. Everyone in the org is feeling it. Only 34 years old with a wife and 4 kids, right before Christmas at that.. just terrible.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Dec 21, 2014 -> 05:17 PM) Or we'll throw in Bryant and Russell....you know, those prospects have zero value until they are proven veterans. Maybe we should have just given anderson for a 1/2 a year of Shark. He hasn't proven anything, while Phegley and Semien are proven solid backups. Never thought I see someone comparing "proven solid" with Semien and Phegley to Quintana. It's a nice attempt to prove a point though. I've been one of the biggest prospect guys on this site for years and with what wite said is damn near on the nose. Sure the rankings of guys does help. I agree with it especially cause it deals with upside/ceiling guys more than limited/floor guys which is what I look for when evaluating guys in our system more so than some of the guys on FS. But their are more than not, exceptions obviously. I remember when Dustin Pedroia was not even a top 5 spect in the Red Sox system behind such "studs" like Andy Marte, Lars Anderson, Michael Bowden, etc. cause he didn't have their tools or size, or upside. Hell, dont get me started on his BA ranking. Look what he's done being an afterthought.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Dec 21, 2014 -> 11:24 AM) what happened to you man? He is declining. Way past his prime.

FREE DAVID FALES!!!!

Would trade anyone on the farm not named Rodon to get him. With that said, it's probably not happening.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Dec 16, 2014 -> 09:47 PM) Ya that's too bad. Chicago is bad for your knees apparently. Chicago kids are soft.

Is that Melky's wife?! Damn..

QUOTE (Knuckles @ Dec 16, 2014 -> 03:31 PM) Royals just released Moises Sierra. Jose wants to be happy again Hahn.

QUOTE (Knuckles @ Dec 16, 2014 -> 03:05 PM) Never knew Samardzija is of Serbian decent. Paging Slav. Haha. Yea he's already online trying to find a Shark jersey for sure.

I'm gonna sip the kool aid and say 90 wins. That might be the most optimistic prediction I've had in a long time. BTW, Cliff Floyd picked us to win the division this year. He's a Chicago guy FYI. (Sox fan growing up)

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Dec 16, 2014 -> 12:22 AM) Apparently I am the only one still posting in this thread, but winner winner chicken dinner. Made the finals in both leagues, Cutler to Alshon garbage time has saved me It saved you and pissed off a couple others.

Damn that sucks. Also the post game interview was only a minute long for Cutler. Even the Chicago media is tired of asking the same questions.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Dec 15, 2014 -> 10:42 PM) That bulls*** garbage TD knocked me out the championship game in my league. Went 12-2. Totally dominated. Knocked out on bulls***. f*** this team. I hope they all get hit by a truck. The Ingram one or the Jeffrey one?

Ingram TD for fantasy owners.

Garbage time Jay in full effect? He likes to wait till were down about 3-4 scores to get going.

QUOTE (shipps @ Dec 15, 2014 -> 09:05 PM) Ya know, we are trying to all get naked here. Smh What is going on here?

Ha just as I post that, we score. Congrats to Wilson on his first TD catch.

The definition of a game strictly for fantasy owners.

Alexei and LaRoche are the only ones I feel will regress (especially Alexei on both sides) as far as position players. The others probably won't and if they do (say Melky for example) it won't be much. Just my opinion though.

QUOTE (TheTruth05 @ Dec 15, 2014 -> 09:53 AM) Ken Rosenthal ‏@Ken_Rosenthal 3m3 minutes ago Sources: #Yankees close to signing free-agent 3B Chase Headley to four-year deal. Looks like it's done according to Kaplan. 4 years 52 million. Heyman saying same number.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Dec 15, 2014 -> 10:11 AM) 14% of MLB players supposedly have ADD and have clearance to "treat" that with a banned substance. It's 3 times the average percentage of 27 year old adults with the condition. Hmmm... didn't we just sign a guy that is part of that 14% of players to be our DH?

QUOTE (Reddy @ Dec 15, 2014 -> 10:06 AM) Well yeah, there's a reason Juan Lagares is the best CF in the game. Did Mike Trout really suck that I'm not aware of?

QUOTE (Reddy @ Dec 15, 2014 -> 09:49 AM) .671 OPS over three seasons at AAA, albeit young for the level. Danny Santana has a career .708 OPS in the minors then got called up and put up a .824 OPS in 430 PA. Whether that is the outliner or the norm, there have been a ton of players who have over achieved in the bigs. Sanchez might not be average, but I'm willing to find out first instead of writing him off. He tends to settle down after he reaches a level the following year. I'm one of his biggest fans here (love Micah too though, bigger upside) so I believe he will succeed. He'll probably be one of the better fastball hitters on this team already.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Dec 15, 2014 -> 09:43 AM) There's not a world in which Carlos Sanchez should ever be considered " solid" Let's wait until he actually plays a full season shall we? Unless the 104 career PA was enough for you to make that judgment. This isn't Dayan Viciedo we're talking about here. This is assuming Micah isn't ready of course.
