QUOTE (flippedoutpunk @ Dec 7, 2011 -> 04:12 PM) anyone else think that Buehrle is going to whoop some major NL ass? He'll do fine. He's not going to be sporting sub-3 ERAs or anything (not without insanely low BABIPs). An 86 MPH FB is still an 86 MPH FB.

Holy s***. This is kinda sinking in now. Mark is no longer a White Sox. Wow. Time to down a 6-pack of Corona.

Looking forward to greg and elrockins/sunofgold's reactions. Those should be doozies.

QUOTE (flippedoutpunk @ Dec 7, 2011 -> 03:56 PM) The marlins are getting easier and easier to root for Always had a soft spot for them after the '03 NLCS. They're a legitimate contender.

Good for Mark. No way in hell would that make any sense for us aside from sentimental reasons.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Dec 7, 2011 -> 03:38 PM) you seriously just ignored the numbers there didn't you... wtf?? I didn't ignore anything. 2007 (Tulo's rookie year) was a wash. Hanley was better in '08. Tulo has clearly been better the last three years.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Dec 7, 2011 -> 03:35 PM) he's not acting like a child. He's the better player, and they're asking HIM to move. All I'm saying is I'd be just as pissed. and lets delve into the Tulo thing. I looked it up. OPS+ Tulo: 118 HanRam: 132 WAR Tulo: 23.7 HanRam: 29.3 Hmm.... Only knock on Tulo is injuries. Outside of raw speed, Hanley really has nothing on him.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Dec 7, 2011 -> 03:26 PM) please tell me how .300/.378/.475 from your SS is bad. are you flippin' kidding me? Tack on 21 HR and 32 SB and that's straight up elite. That was 2010. Don't feed me this bulls*** "bad at the plate for 2 years" thing. And yeah last year was down, but he's still the best SS in the game. How many "down" seasons has Reyes had? FOUR sub-.800 OPS seasons to Hanley's ONE. come on. That would be Tulo.

Looks like Rock and Milk are filling in for 2K5 and Balta today. Speaking of Balta, is he dead? That's the only logical explanation for him going 12 consecutive hours without posting.

Wow. I must say looking back through this thread I totally underestimated the types of offers Mark would be receiving.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Dec 7, 2011 -> 11:35 AM) I appreciate your non-support. Sometimes it helps you realize you are on the right track I read this six times and I still don't get it.

QUOTE (SOXOBAMA @ Dec 7, 2011 -> 10:40 AM) If I was the Marlins GM, I would use Pujols money for Fielder and Buehrle than trade Hanley for King Felix. They can't afford both. And Felix isn't going anywhere right now.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Dec 7, 2011 -> 04:38 AM) I wouldn't doubt it if we discussed something like this with the Reds: Chisox send: Q, Danks, Thornton Reds send: Grandal, Alonso, Baily, +2 pitching prospects Yeah, no.

QUOTE (flavum @ Dec 6, 2011 -> 11:47 PM) Tigers trying to get Gio. Wouldn't that be grand. http://twitter.com/#!/susanslusser/sta...290456572919808 They'd have to part with Turner and Castellanos. But yeah, that would just about lock up the AL Central for 2012.

The Brewers don't need a closer.

QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 6, 2011 -> 06:58 PM) Bergesen was the second worst pitcher in baseball with over 100 innings last year. Was Matusz worse? Not sure if he went over 100 IP.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Dec 6, 2011 -> 05:19 PM) HE WAS NEVER ON STEROIDS. STEFF TOLD ME SO. lmao. Steff was a trip. She hated Willie Harris more than I hate Juan Pierre.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Dec 6, 2011 -> 04:56 PM) Thanks for the props J4L. i don't always agree with you, but you're a solid guy. As far as the return for Santos, I think it's fair, not great or terrible. For those that did not like the return for Santos, you better close your eyes because I don't think it will get better than Molina unless they deal Viciedo. No problem. You were consistent from the start. I can appreciate that.

There would be no 'risk' involved. I just don't want to watch him play baseball anymore. He's terrible.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Dec 6, 2011 -> 04:49 PM) Which means, somehow, we'll end up with Ubaldo. I don't support drunks on this site. Go away.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Dec 6, 2011 -> 04:45 PM) Buster_ESPN Buster Olney Exec: white sox asking for 'ubaldo Jimenez package' for John Danks. Good. Play hard ball. That's nice and all. But Ubaldo wasn't a year away from FA. Oh, and Danks just simply isn't as good as Ubaldo.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Dec 6, 2011 -> 04:34 PM) One thing is for sure, guys from the minors can never close and win games of importance. Never happens. That never happened. It was an optical illusion. As far as I'm concerned, Dustin Hermanson was our closer down the stretch and in the playoffs in '05. Why? Well, the answer is simple: I was more familiar with him.

QUOTE (Tex @ Dec 6, 2011 -> 04:29 PM) I'll complain when I actually see Dunn in the field more. Pretty much. This is nothing as of right now.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Dec 6, 2011 -> 04:16 PM) Addison Reed people, Addison Reed. No, that's no good. He's unproven and not worthy. You don't see other teams (Braves with Kimbrel, Brewers with Axford) handing over closer duties to guys with no track record of ML success.

QUOTE (sunofgold @ Dec 6, 2011 -> 04:01 PM) Sirotka Santos? This just made Robin Ventura's job a lot harder. Ozzie had a hard time finally finding a closer with Sergio last year. Kinda think that Ventura needs a reliable closer. If Ventura going to have to audition guys during the regular season that is going to suck. lol. Sirotka Santos? What planet are you from?
