QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 22, 2010 -> 03:52 PM) Stark is a Phillies fan, so he might have a hatred towards Pirates players. It wouldn't surprise me at all to see Alvarez hit for more power in his career than Stanton or Hayward. I would be shocked actually. (even in that park where Jason will probably have a s***load of XBH) Already got a leg up in age and potentially more raw power... idk fathom.

I actually like the top 10, though Torres would not have been near my list. I don't consider him a prospect anymore. I also see someone really likes Jacob as well.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 22, 2010 -> 12:00 AM) Comparing Billy Wagner and Bobby Jenks is like comparing Michael Jordan and Craig Ehlo. In other words.. they shouldn't even be in the discussion. Might as well add Mariano to the list if he happens to blow a rare save soon. (not to mention can.. you know.. get hitters out majority of the time 1-2-3) Then I can back it putting a Todd Jones stats year up.

Anything dealing with the shoulder for any player (pitcher or position player) is not good. But if there is one good thing to take from it, it wasn't his throwing shoulder.

QUOTE (BigEdWalsh @ Jul 21, 2010 -> 11:18 PM) Great so long as Jenks is never part of the committee. Ed Walsh FTW.

Yikes. What a terrible year for high picked sox prospects.

QUOTE (EvilJester99 @ Jul 21, 2010 -> 08:57 PM) Wanted to update since I haven't in quite some time... I started at 255 and now and at 228. Thanks to P90X and changing my eating habits! Thanks for the support and motivation. Nicely done EJ! I restarted the Insanity program myself yesterday. Still got to get back to eating better though.. I've been eating unhealthy again, but just working it off.

Doesn't Campbell have a NMC too?

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 21, 2010 -> 04:26 PM) So all it took for Beckham to realize that he had an uppercut swing was for some 78 year old to write about how Ichiro doesn't upper cut, so you should be more like him? Sounds a bit corny. Walker read it and thought "OF COURSE!!"

Rios.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jul 20, 2010 -> 04:10 PM) Jeez, people really don't like Mark Teahen. He'd be an upgrade over Mark Kotsay. He is quickly reaching Nick Swisher-like hate... sadly.

QUOTE (kev211 @ Jul 20, 2010 -> 11:19 PM) Technically you could be in here for thinking Jeremy Reed is better then Babe Ruth. Reed is GOD. yes you can add me to the list.

Alexei's UZR is rising faster than J4L's penis for the love of young players in baseball.

QUOTE (ZoomSlowik @ Jul 20, 2010 -> 11:12 PM) I remember this one guy that said there was NO f***ING WAY Lebron was going to Miami. :lolhitting QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 20, 2010 -> 11:00 PM) http://www.northsidebaseball.com/ We got alot of wins on this thread.

Add Magic Johnson to the list calling out LeBron and Bosh. http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=5395989 BTW... Another deadly sniper might have just hit the trade market. Kapono getting shopped.

Bradley Salgado is 0-22 to start his professional career... ouch.

Beckham.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 20, 2010 -> 12:45 PM) Anyone want to give odds on Sandberg being his replacement? I think it'll be between him and Bob Brenly. I'll miss Lou. Hasn't been the fiery guy he was though with the Reds/Seattle/first couple Cub years. He finished 1st, 1st, 2nd, and now 4th on the Cubs as manager. Nobody has had that level of success for the Cubs as manager since Charlie Grimm in 1933-1938. Ricketts better realize that they need to get rid of Hendry. I can't believe he is still guaranteed a job next season.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jul 19, 2010 -> 11:09 PM) The Bulls can actually run Rose plays when Watson is in the lineup. Watson has good handles and a nice jumpshot. I would think they would run more plays for Watson at the 2 than Rose, even undersized. Don't need to hamper Derrick's development there. But I agree with ya. QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Jul 19, 2010 -> 11:39 PM) Well, you can't accuse the Bulls of not being deep enough. And they still have enough cash to add another decent guy or two. Definitely. Give me one more center and one more sniper (maybe Mason Jr. unless the Bulls feel Watson, Deng, improved Rose etc.. is good enough), and I'll be content with the off-season.

Flowers still isn't hitting in average but has 10 BBs in his last 6 games.

Outstanding move. He or Dooling I was advocating for a while as a backup PG. Like Watson. Very young player still. Probably one of the better defensive players on Golden State (though that isn't saying much) who plays the passing lanes very well. Solid free throw shooter as well, good rebounder for his size, but is inconsistent from beyond the arc. All in all, solid move.

I'll be on around 10 if anyone is going on tonight.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jul 19, 2010 -> 04:04 PM) I find it funnier that Ace brought up those 3 when looking at relievers you should draft (because most failed starters becomes relievers) yet all 3 were failed starters. The winding circle of a pitcher, though you are really cherry picking 10 starts in a rookie year for Rivera. And Eckersley was not a failed starter. Next time though, I'll just say/add Hoffman and Wagner to the other guys mentioned who have never started in the bigs to prove my point. (though it should of been well taken... god damn Blake...)

Konerko.
