Quintana Rumors: Round and round and round we go
QUOTE (bmags @ Dec 20, 2016 -> 04:15 PM) There's a weird piling on of judge right now. I don't necessarily want him in a Q deal, but sometimes players do need time to develop. He dramatically improved between years 1 and 2 in AAA as you'd like to see. He strikes out, but he was still k'ing at under 30% in AAA and walking at a nice 12% clip. In his abysmal, small sample size, he still walked 10% of the time. I wouldn't be against Judge if the White Sox farm system didn't have a poor history of developing guys with poor batting eyes into good selective hitters.

2016 Fantasy Football Thread
Been in the consolation bracket because my team lost a bunch of 110-109 weekends. Didn't realize that the rounds are two weeks long. Beat on my opponent 201-130. It never even was close.

What's the Funniest/Worst Christmas Gift you've received?
QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Dec 19, 2016 -> 04:14 PM) When I turned 16, I had an aunt who gave me - wrapped in a shirt box - a Playboy magazine. Which I opened in front of my parents, aunt and uncle, etc. I cannot describe the level of awkward. She thought it was hilarious. Was it a good issue...?

Judge is like Gallo. Very undisciplined and a poor batting eye.

What's the Funniest/Worst Christmas Gift you've received?
This is a copy from my Reddit post about my late paternal grandmother. She had a strange sense of humor: My grandmother was an interesting woman. She gave us all socks for years instead of toys, because she "wanted us to be responsible." Then, when we started looking forward to the socks, she stopped giving them. I had a few things in storage in her basement, because she had a lot of empty space and never went down there. She decided that it would be good fun to go down and wrap up something that I had in storage and give it to me for Christmas. Her hint that she didn't want the stuff down there anymore. One other year, she got me a fridge magnet (I'm a larger guy) that had a pig on it that would oink when you opened the fridge door. Lastly, she used to go to dollar tree and family dollar to buy things for us. Not because she didn't have money - she just didn't want to spend any money on us. She went out one year and bought me a giant, expired can of cocktail peanuts. I'm allergic to peanuts - and she was aware - she just didn't bother to remember because they were on clearance.

Otani to be posted in 2017 Offseason
QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Dec 13, 2016 -> 04:28 PM) The problem with letting him hit when he pitches, is once he comes out, you don't have a DH. So, you'd have a pinch hitter a couple of times.

We've had about 13 inches of snow since last weekend - and more expected over the next few days. This Saturday, it's supposed to be an icy mix. Lovely.

Name Change? Anything else needed?
QUOTE (SpankyEaton @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 07:22 PM) So, since Spanky Eaton isn't a part of the organization any longer...can I have my name be New Era on South Side instead? Or Brass Balls Hahn? Also, why is it that when I log in and try to post, it says I'm logged out? New Era on South Side Display name changed.

Name Change? Anything else needed?
QUOTE (Condor13 @ Dec 8, 2016 -> 10:42 AM) So I just saw that this thread exists probably should have checked here first. Since Sale was traded I wanted to change my display name but could not figure out how so I created a new account. The new account I created was Moncada. I still cannot post using the new account bc it says an Administrator needs to approve it first. Can someone approve it or change my current display name from Condor13 to Moncada or Moncada13 Moncada13 Display name changed.

Have the third most points scored this season, yet finished 6-7 because teams scored the second most points against me. Absolutely crushed my playoff 1st round opponent with Le'Veon Bell yesterday though.
