Q is still throwing slow ass Zues out there as a second line center I see.

Cards for sure. They are like the White Sox first cousin. Both hate the Cubs, so I can tolerate them pulling it off (plus it just pisses the Cubs fans off even more). Boston and their fans might be the second worst I despise. (after Detroit of course)

Obviously I've been the captain on the Ortiz train for quite some time now (still believe he's definitely top 25 in this system). Love everything about his make-up, just needs to be more aggressive and believe in his stuff more. I won't say names like Danish, Mitchell, Engel, Beck etc. since they're more known (as well as Jaye) on top 25 lists, so I'll thrown an unknown reliever who might get Santos Rodriguez-like consideration for the top 25 list. (before next year's June draft of course which probably bumps alot of people off, although still maybe sneaks in..) Andre Wheeler. Brad Goldberg was getting more the headlines as the season was winding down, but IMO, Wheeler is the better prospect. He got a mechanical tweak in Bristol, and he was just dominant (especially with his control which was the biggest knock on him.. sounds familiar) after turning pro. I can see him shooting up the minors next year, with AA being his biggest test. Being a LHP also doesn't hurt his chances in the future. Another guy who is unknown, but a bit more polished hitter right now than the big signings overseas (Otano, Cruz, etc.) from the DSL is Antonio Rodriguez. Sox are very high on this kid, and he did finish out the year very strong for DSL. Obviously still a ways away, but he could sneak in if he hits Bristol (which he got a taste of last year) and plays solid. Just exceptional tools he possesses which alone makes him intriguing to follow. I might one of the rare ones actually playing attention to the DSL guys though, so it's probably more of a stretch. Just trying to fit the criteria of this thread.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Oct 19, 2013 -> 09:28 AM) Andre runs so many short routes that I think Keenum is just going to lock in on him. I wouldn't bench him man. Good thing I didn't listen to you. Bell and Lacy (especially) were great. McCoy was surprisingly my only weak link. He has AP going tomorrow and I have Victor Cruz leading by 42 points. I think it's safe to say barring a Doug Martin against Oakland-like game, I should be 5-2. (as well as beating two guys who were unbeaten in back to back weeks )

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Oct 19, 2013 -> 10:38 AM) And those quotes were before Garnett got traded. Everyone knew he was loyal. If you can't accept that, I don't know what to say. I've provided articles showing he didn't want to leave Minny, quotes showing he didn't even want to go to Boston, but at this point, there's nothing else I could do. Absolutely. Garnett is alot of things (I or anyone else, especially people who've been around him can say alot of things about him....) but one thing I will say is the man was definitely loyal to Minny.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Oct 19, 2013 -> 09:28 AM) Andre runs so many short routes that I think Keenum is just going to lock in on him. I wouldn't bench him man. I just don't trust him to find the end zone bro, or pick up alot of yards. I'm more worried about benching Trent Richardson to be honest. Even though Baltimore's D against the run is really good, I'm hoping Bell gets goal line touches if Big Ben can move the chains enough.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Oct 17, 2013 -> 09:04 AM) Good god.. debating if I should start the two underachievers (Andre Johnson vs KC defense and Trent Richardson vs Denver defense) or start the two with better matchups.. (Terrance Williams vs Philly defense and Eddie Lacy vs Cleveland defense) I got L. Bell on the bench too. (Shady, Cruz and my flex Decker are automatic starters) Could use some advice. QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Oct 17, 2013 -> 09:13 AM) Lacy and AJ QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Oct 17, 2013 -> 02:30 PM) Case Keenum starting this week for the Texans. Not sure what that does for their fantasy players but it's note worthy. f*** it.. ima start Lacy and Bell with Decker as my #2 WR. Hopefully I don't regret it. I love beating people in my league who are undefeated (dude I'm facing is 6-0 with AP, Romo/RG3, Dez, Moreno, Garcon/Fitz, Bush, KC D... yea....)

QUOTE (flavum @ Oct 18, 2013 -> 12:28 PM) That's so Merkin... https://twitter.com/scottmerkin/status/391252009338171392 Hey, if they want to find a way to move Dunn out of Chicago, and bring back PK as a part-timer, fine. I don't think people know how much of a hard-on JR has for Konerko. Even Rock has stated before if Konerko wants to stay, then he will stay and will figure out what to do with Dunn later.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Oct 16, 2013 -> 08:45 AM) Chances are he is nothing, but the Rays got nothing, so the worst the Sox could do is break even. That's a good trade. Correct on all accounts.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Oct 14, 2013 -> 01:21 PM) I don't ever want to meet any of you schmucks. You met me and Gregory Pratt you dick. I also met the Aussie known as DBAH0 as well. Exchanged texts with a couple others in the past (sorry BobDylan) And there's a few reasons I don't have FB so...

Brees didn't do much for me, but luckily Peyton wasn't his usual 25+ point self either. I got Trent Richardson tomorrow and he's got Reggie Wayne. Depending on what my kicker Bailey does tonight, I'm probably up by 8-10 points heading to tomorrow. Should be a fun one to watch.

Pirri recalled, Hayes sent down. Hope the kid sticks! (also hope Morin isn't too far behind him)

Beat the two time fantasy champion in my league. (who is now 0-3 career versus me, so there's my bragging rights. ) Thank you Orange Julius, Mr. Jessie James, Shady and Brees.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Oct 2, 2013 -> 09:23 AM) You do not retool a 99 loss team you rebuild. Bingo.

Kane and Saad (especially Saad) look like they're two steps above everyone else so far this year.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Oct 5, 2013 -> 11:25 PM) Rose said his vert is 5 inches better than pre injury. Well he said comming into the league he was at 37 (which I believe is incorrect as he was a 40 at the combine) and now is around 42. I would say a couple inches is about right. (giggity)

Alright boys. Trent Richardson (Seattle D) or Eddie Lacy? (Detroit D) I'm even pondering if I should start Stafford over Brees cause of my Bears bias.

Drew Brees, you stud. There was never a doubt from me.

Down 14.74 points with Drew Brees left tomorrow.. I SHOULD win, but we'll see. I would've only been down 10, until Brady decided to fumble the ball, and Ryan fed Juilo Jones (and alittle bit of Rodgers) the ball that final drive. QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Sep 29, 2013 -> 10:58 PM) Should have listened to you Kenny ha. Thankfully it didn't matter as Andre Johnson was my lowest point getter this week besides my kicker. And I'm glad I listened to you Row and started him as well.

A hitting coach who actually preaches OBP is fine with me.

Never thought I would consider benching Andre Johnson this early, but anyone who has him, are you playing him... banged up and all, against Seattle? I'm considering starting Kendall Wright (facing Jets defense) over him.

There will never be another like him. I still look at his career postseason numbers and just shake my head. He was unbelievable. Feel privileged to have watched him growing up. End of an era for some of these greats leaving.

Also sort of OT: but anyone hear about the story with former Blackhawk Jake Dowell? Absolutely horrible story. http://m.startribune.com/?id=224964322 E:60 is going to air his story tonight. I'm going to miss it cause of work, but it's probably a must see. The Wild have some great stories on that team with Dowell and Harding. I wish Jake and his family the best.
