Ozzie still out begging for a job
QUOTE (greg775 @ Oct 24, 2013 -> 03:32 PM) Personally I respect the ring and Mr. Mouth has one!!!! No matter what u guys think of him. Really? So, if you're a jackass and you win a title, you get a pass? But, if you're a great guy but never win, you're not worth a second glance? Tony Gwynn and Ryne Sandberg are less than Lenny Dykstra and Jose Canseco?

Catch-All Anything Thread
QUOTE (scs787 @ Oct 24, 2013 -> 02:29 PM) This is true, perhaps once I'm forced to get health care I'll get it checked out. Just posted it on the off chance that someone here would know something. It could just be a blockage. A doctor could clean it out in one walk-in appointment and you could be hearing. If it's worse, at least you'll know. The new insurance allows pre-existing conditions so, you wouldn't be penalized by finding out early.

St. Louis Cardinals vs. Boston Red Sox
QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 24, 2013 -> 02:09 PM) The kid from the Cards minor leagues who posted a pic of Lester with a substance in his glove has deleted his posts about it. Too late to close the barn door when the cow is already eating the azaleas.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Oct 24, 2013 -> 02:01 PM) About ten years ago, my father-in-law had a loud ringing in his left ear for a day, then he woke up completely deaf in that ear. Never regained hearing in it and the doctors have no idea why. Tintinus then resulting deafness from loud noises through his personal history.

Quintana Trade Value
I thought that Toronto wanted Lawrie because they were trying to put Canadian-born players on their roster to draw in the fans.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 24, 2013 -> 12:30 PM) It would help if he were a bit of a better actor. The kid is so strong, it hardly ever looks like he gets fouled. The problem is he won't sell it. You hit LeBron, he throws his arms up and has a look on his face like he is giving birth. Rose just finishes the play. The most he will do is a glare at the officials after the fact.

2013-2014 NFL Thread
QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Oct 23, 2013 -> 12:48 PM) Johnny has a weak arm, he's not going to be able to make some NFL throws unless he has Drew Brees like accuracy, which he doesn't have. And Russell Wilson is not only more accurate of a thrower but also has about three times the arm strength that Manziel has. Obviously we'll see but I just don't think the physical tools are there for Johnny to be a successful starter in the NFL. Grossman has great arm strength and a history of collegiate success. I think sometimes, it's intangibles as much as athleticism that allows you to succeed in the NFL.

Chase Headley - Sox Potential Fit
QUOTE (Marty34 @ Oct 23, 2013 -> 12:44 PM) No. Sure third base is an issue, but the bigger problem is hitter regardless of position and I don't think Headley upgrades the offense enough. In his bad year, he surpassed Gillaspie and has a gold glove history. Arbitration would be $8.5 to 9 mil for one season and because of that salary, he wouldn't cost much at all to acquire. A comeback year would equal .285 30HR 110RBI 15SB .870 OPS. Even a mediocre year of .260 17HR 70RBI 5SB .780 OPS, would be better than what they've had the last few years at 3B.

Chase Headley - Sox Potential Fit
QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Oct 23, 2013 -> 12:31 PM) Not when BJ Upton and Dan Uggla are available. Both of those players don't play 3B and haven't had a recent history of success. 2007 for Upton, 2010 for Uggla.

Chase Headley - Sox Potential Fit
QUOTE (Marty34 @ Oct 23, 2013 -> 10:31 AM) Headley will be 30 y.o. and a free-agent after next year. Pass. You wouldn't pay some cash for a good year and possible 1st round supplimental pick?

Marshall and the other recievers won't be happy to lose Cutler to an "efficient" guy. "Efficient" is Kyle Orton, Jim Miller, and Chris Chandler.

Chase Headley - Sox Potential Fit
QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 22, 2013 -> 04:32 PM) The problem right now is figuring out which guys are going to be contributors. If Phegley, Viciedo, Abreu, and Garcia all hit next year and Gillaspie regresses, then if we'd done this move already it could put us in the playoffs. But, if Gillaspie and Keppinger in a platoon put up sort of what we might expect them to do and another hitter struggles...well then for example we'd have been much better off replacing Phegley with a high-salary McCann than we would have been taking on Headley. That's the problem...we have talent at a number of spots, but talent often doesn't equal production. To turn this around rapidly we need to replace the guys who won't produce with guys who will. Which ones are they? Platoons rarely yield successful numbers.
