fathom

He was rumored to be a top 3 pick in the draft but fell due to bonus demands I believe.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ May 13, 2016 -> 09:16 PM) His bat speed looks slower than the lightning quickness he used to have. If you go back and look at his first half 2014 highlights, it's incredibly evident. He rarely turns on an inside fastball anymore.

Hammel has been a great pitcher the first half of the previous two seasons, and then he's completely fallen apart during the second half. Hopefully that happens again this season.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ May 13, 2016 -> 08:44 PM) For what it would take to get Trout, I don't think it'd be worth it for anyone to trade for him. Yep, it's not like Cubs really need him. If anything, they should keep their trade chips for another ace pitcher under control.

Good stuff...shockingly, he's tied for the lowest fWAR on the team with Jackson (among starters)

QUOTE (Brian @ May 13, 2016 -> 07:30 PM) Any trade for Trout would start with Bryant. Plain and simple. Still, they don't have the pitching to get it done. Mets seem like a better fit, as they could offer something like Syndergaard, Conforto and prospects.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ May 13, 2016 -> 08:11 PM) The proposals I've seen about this are hilarious You mean a team that desperately needs pitching wouldn't want Duane Underwood as the only pitching prospect they receive?

Cubs fans are really getting their hopes up after this http://terezowens.com/chicago-cubs-about-to-catch-a-trout/

I have no problem with him going down to the booth, as CSN didn't have someone like Dan Hayes roaming around the dugout on the road.

QUOTE (shysocks @ May 11, 2016 -> 07:17 AM) They did this against Chris Young and Kris Medlen, with an assist from Joakim Soria. Both Young and Medlen to the DL today

4-4 with opposite field homer!

Anderson on fire...3-3

So it looks like Law has heard sox have interest in Hudson and Collins

QUOTE (TheTruth05 @ May 11, 2016 -> 09:18 PM) Not blaming Robin for yesterday, but today he was pretty bad. That 6th inning lead is one you absolutely needed to hold on to and he pissed his pants. Oh well, stole 1 even though we should have had at least 2. Rest up and ride your aces in NY Sox should have swept. 2 run lead in each game. Bullpen was horrendous.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ May 11, 2016 -> 09:17 PM) Bunting would have somehow been a worse idea. Seriously though, we know Sands can't pinch run or play the field well. He should be hitting there or he should be on the team. I'd guess we're about to find out. Yep he's a waste of a roster space with Avi healthy

QUOTE (shysocks @ May 11, 2016 -> 09:16 PM) Tomorrow's gonna be one of those tough off days. I think everyone could use a breather

QUOTE (bmags @ May 11, 2016 -> 10:11 PM) I believe in Carlos. He's the best. Sure as a AAAA player

Players 23-25 on the roster having to be used too much in this series

Ugh Sanchez such a bad hitter. Pitch was right down the plate.

Ha of course 1-2-3. Nicely done

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ May 11, 2016 -> 09:00 PM) On Game Day that was out of the zone Looked good

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ May 11, 2016 -> 08:58 PM) Baddddd at bat Hate that he's batting 2nd. Especially vs LHP that has to be Rollins

Horrible horrible at bat.

Let Sands bat here. Need a bomb

Invisible bat
