QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Jul 6, 2011 -> 03:16 PM) Right, because of all our problems this year he's been one of the biggest... Not even close. But he and CQ have cooled off considerably. CQ is 16 for his last 85 with ZERO home runs. Ramirez is sporting a sub-.600 OPS the last month. This wouldn't be as big a deal if we weren't featuring 5 of the worst players at their respective positions right now.

Just tuning in. Another atrocity from the offense I see. In what alternate or parallel universe does an AL team sporting a payroll of nearly $130 million get shut down by Bruce Chen?

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 5, 2011 -> 10:18 PM) SS2k or J4L or anyone else...how many more years do we have Peavy and Rios for? I thought I heard Peavy has one more year before an option that we'll surely decline, and Rios has 3 more years after this season. Correct.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 5, 2011 -> 10:12 PM) Hey guys, will this woman win the civil case? Would be nice to see Casey out some big money. Anthony told investigators that she had left 2-year-old Caylee on June 16 with a babysitter named Zenaida Fernandez-Gonzalez – also known as "Zanny" – at a specific Orlando apartment complex. A woman named Zenaida Gonzalez who was on the apartment records as having visited apartments on that date was questioned by police and said she did not know Casey or Caylee.[60] She has since filed a defamation suit seeking compensatory and punitive damages, alleging that Casey willfully damaged her reputation.[61] It was reported that Anthony would be exercising her rights under the Fifth Amendment in response to written questions in the civil case.[62] The civil trial is set for August 29, 2011. I blame Dunn for that woman getting off.

QUOTE (kapzk @ Jul 5, 2011 -> 10:10 PM) 24 men left on base pathetic 24? That's not even possible.

It sucks when I have to applaud Dunn for simply making contract.

I'd trade Beckham for Wilson Ramos at this point.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 5, 2011 -> 09:31 PM) It won't happen unless we lose like 15 of our next 20. Even then, Atlanta likely wouldn't trade Beachy. I'm not even that enamored with CQ. '08 will never happen again, IMO. But there's no way we can afford to trade our second best hitter with so many other sub-league average performers and expect to win a thing this year. All things being equal, I'd trade CQ for Beachy in a fraction of a second.

This is the Lilly I remember. lol@trading CQ. This offense is bad.

And Dunn still sucks.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 5, 2011 -> 08:33 PM) I'm sure he did at some point. With Frank, Maggs and Lee? I'd have to look it up. But Caulfield did say in July. I doubt PK ever hit third at that cutoff point.

Adam MUST do something here.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 5, 2011 -> 08:30 PM) Paul Konerko 2003. He wasn't hitting third.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jul 5, 2011 -> 08:25 PM) I would really, really like to have Beachy. And also Really, REALLY like to have Viciedo on this team. I'll sacrifice losing my Quentin jersey for all of that. Beachy might be the ace on this team. I'd praise KW if he could pull this off. Risky? Yes. Because Viciedo would have to produce at a level similar to CQ to totally justify it. But a dirt cheap Beachy over the next few years and team-controlled for the next five would be sweet.

Good job by Jake there. I didn't want to see Escobar up with runners on.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 5, 2011 -> 08:14 PM) Of the catchers that were available on the FA market this offseason. Understood.

That sucked. And I agree with fathom.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 5, 2011 -> 08:10 PM) AJ all the way up to a 717 OPS now. He might be the bargain catcher of the year for 2011. 2012, not so much. That would be Alex Avila.

Brent needs to do something here.

We'd be 12 games out if not for PK.

Sucks to see nothing has carried over from last night for Dunn. But there's still time.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Jul 5, 2011 -> 07:58 PM) f***, I was just projecting. Let's not have the super slappy attack. I said about a month ago that I could totally see Ozzie being fixated on a guy like Bourn after JP is hopefully shown the door. Be afraid. Be very afraid.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 5, 2011 -> 07:54 PM) Viciedo patience problem, though. Only 16 walks in over 300 at-bats. True. It's certainly no lock. I've been a fan since '09. I don't know what the hell happened last year.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 5, 2011 -> 07:55 PM) Where did this rumor come from? Fangraphs. And that would be my worst nightmare and might force me to abandon this team. Bourn is a younger Juan Pierre that can play an above average CF.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jul 5, 2011 -> 07:45 PM) Or because this is about the 4th different time we have heard that he signed. It was talked about in the minor league thread last week when it first came out he was signed, and people have asked why he hasn't played yet as well. Let's just say the anticipation is nowhere near what it was for Beckham, Mitchell or Sale. Then again, he was a comp pick.
