Or we come into a thread hoping to see updates from twitter, etc., only to see the 500th trade proposal asking for Cubs prospects or Meadows

Also I loved the Taker spot on Monday with the fake entrance, but should have been saved to make tonight more unique

I liked the Reigns inclusion. It's clearly the start of making him partially a bad guy to feud with Taker

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jan 30, 2017 -> 04:46 AM) Let me add that the card up to the actual rumble match was great. The rumble match was absolute garbage to me and mania is setting up to be a dud with a healthy and awesome roster. Yep most of the proposed main matches are going to be awful at WM

Disappointing considering the talent roster. The two main title matches were awesome.

Is he saying Collins is a better hitter than he thought or Thaiss?

God knows I love Josh Bell, but no way should he be higher than Moncada. He's going to have to hit a ton to have a big WAR

So Hoiberg is just Robin Ventura, right?

Robertson got simply destroyed on his fastball last year. Rather he use his curve a lot more often

Will he rank Kopech if he thinks he's a reliever?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 26, 2017 -> 01:50 AM) CF, true. Catcher? Avila gave that team 200 non-terrible at bats. Navarro's handling of the staff was rotten but those basically balance out. The catcher's spot could absolutely be substantially worse than last year. If I had to guess I'd guess it'll be about the same - replacement level with Soto and Narvaez taking up most of the time, it could be slightly better, it could be substantially worse. Wasn't the combo easily the worst at framing?

QUOTE (Al Lopez's Ghost @ Jan 26, 2017 -> 02:10 AM) Who's his guy? Didn't mention in his chat

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 26, 2017 -> 02:45 AM) Out of the guys who had down seasons last year, it's probably true that 1-2 of them should be expected to have solid seasons worthy enough to earn something in a trade. If we hold all of them, we also better be ready for 2-3 of them to have worse seasons and just eat the money spent on them. As long as we're ok with that as a franchise, then holding 5 guys and hoping 1-2 of them develop some value is a fair strategy. Miguel Gonzalez is my pick to implode

Frazier has little value now. If he can rebound like his first half in 15, he can get someone decent or be in contention for a QO. Being a walk year, hopefully he has a big season.

It will be hard to get worse production in CF and catcher than last year

Some deep thoughts: - to me, Alexa Bliss is the female Ambrose. Can't wrestle in the ring at all - can't wait for Rumble, as excited as I've ever been for a ppv - my outside the box winner is Styles - really hope Lesnar and Goldberg don't win

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jan 26, 2017 -> 12:19 AM) Where did Law rank Moncada last year? No way he should drop much (if at all) based on his 2016 results. Know for sure he has Devers higher. Would bet Torres is also.0

Guessing Moncada 7, Giolito 9 and Kopech 22

Just an FYI but Keith Law doesn't think Beer is the top prospect for his draft year

Around the 16 minute mark, is Bernstein suggesting the Sox will move when JR dies or that someone else will now be in charge? http://download.podcast.play.it/media/d0/d...XP__0000000k3Dk

QUOTE (Con te Giolito @ Jan 24, 2017 -> 03:51 AM) Takes two to tango. Ask any cop or lawyer how often they come upon a disagreement where one side was 100% in the wrong...it's pretty rare. And nearly all pro athletes have egos that would make them almost unemployable in "our" world. One guy has a reputation as being a great teammate and one has a pretty awful one

Lots of smoke that Brett Anderson going to Cubs

Shocked that Eaton had issues in the clubhouse. I'm sure he reacted well to Frazier liking a tweet from someone that was happy LaRoche was gone

It will be interesting to see everyone's opinion on here change regarding Newman when Law has him in the top 25

In a major upset, Moncada is number 1 at 2nd
