This Pitbull concert is great. Way to kick things off MLB!

Who on the team f***ed the baseball god's wife.

Phegley down to .192. We want T-FLO!

Was De Aza playing him really shallow?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 14, 2013 -> 03:26 AM) One of my friends is complaining about a bunch of people setting off fireworks around (NW Indiana). That's every weekend during the summer there.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 14, 2013 -> 12:21 AM) Is it just me or is ADA heating up? OPS over .750. Get that OBP .15 higher and he's a great hitter.

QUOTE (Noonskadoodle @ Jul 13, 2013 -> 09:54 PM) Does Manto get the credit for Becks resurgence? Sure although I'd say a lot of it is not being the awfulness that is Greg Walker.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 13, 2013 -> 09:47 PM) all right, either you need to add a link or details about why the prosecution would be facing charges, because that sounds nuts? http://www.cnn.com/2013/07/13/justice/zimm...ml?c=homepage-t It has to do with speculation stemming from that story. I guess the problem would be the state going after the state if what this guy claims checks out

I read the prosecution team could be facing criminal charges down the road. I would imagine a guilty verdict wouldn't mean much if that is the case.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jul 13, 2013 -> 08:07 PM) again... source? Buddy Bell

I doubt anyone of them is ready for AAA but it'd be nice to promote one. Our of is empty there anyways

Santiago is about the easiest athlete to root for that you'll come across. Near Jim Thome level.

I have over 86 games now in Steam and I doubt I've spent over 50 dollars. Steam is so awesome.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jul 13, 2013 -> 03:05 AM) This is what a Boston fan said on another board: "Hamate bone injury derailed him last year, he was starting to hit much better this year. Last 11 games, hit .410/.510/.718 with 6 doubles and 2 HR Since May 21, .291/.390/.517 with 13 2b and 7 HR in 43 games This does not include last night's game, his AA debut, where he went 2-3 with a 3B." He has been hitting well for the last 2 months. It'll be interesting where he'll be placed. I would assume AA right? What's our outfield there, Walker, Mitchell, Thompson? I guess we want all those guys getting at bats so perhaps some reshuffling.

Scouting Report: Prior to signing with the Red Sox, Jacobs was a football commit to Auburn who focused his future on football rather than baseball. Initially raw upon entering the organization, but has shown strong baseball acumen and ability to incorporate adjustments. Ideal power hitter's frame. Body has been evolving into that of a baseball player's. Fluid swing with plus bat speed via strong hands and lower body torque. Swing is on the long side and can hit out on his front foot too much against breaking balls. High power ceiling. Plus-to-better power potential. Has put a lot of time into developing an approach and learning to be selective at the plate. Shows the knack for getting the barrel on the ball. Strong plate coverage. Fringe-average pitch recognition. Will be tested against advanced secondary offerings. Has trouble turning on balls and likes pitches out and over the plate. High offensive ceiling. Average arm that has been improving as weight drops in his chest and shoulders. Below-average defensive outfielder. Currently struggles reading balls off the bat and tends to freeze on contact, but improvement should come with experience. Solid-average speed and range. Projects as a left fielder during his career. Offense will need to carry him at higher levels, as defensive versatility is limited. Stats leave a lot to be desired, but potential is there. Not sure we could expect more.

This guy is a former football player(not tbe nfler), committed to Auburn. Sounds about right.

One of KW's best trades.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Jul 13, 2013 -> 03:29 AM) He'll likely be hurt again next year. He will always be labeled as injury prone which will take away from his trade value. He has to go at the deadline. This is dumb. No one has to go unless they aren't going to be under contract next year. His rep as being injury prone will never be greater than right now, coming off the DL.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Jul 13, 2013 -> 03:11 AM) This would be the wrong thing to do. Peavy absolutely has to go before the deadline, he's the one guy they cant afford not to deal because of their depth in he rotation. He's hurt, has another year and and fair value. There is zero reason to sell low on him.

There isn't much of a reason to trade Peavy. Think like going into 2005 and sign a bunch of midlevel position players and hope for the best.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jul 12, 2013 -> 11:12 PM) Just chiming in to say I'd take the Sox rotation over the Cubs farm system. lol, who wouldn't?

If we can dump Danks, we do it. Though he's not necessarily going to hurt us to bad if we keep him either.

Is Josh Vitters still a prospect? I remember this board s***ting their pants in fear of the day he hit the majors, lol.

QUOTE (hammerhead johnson @ Jul 12, 2013 -> 10:15 PM) That's great, but he's just not particularly talented. His stuff is very mediocre. He's not cut out to be a long term starter. At least not a good one.

Hotline Miami is a steal at 2.50
