  1. The increased draft cap is just as valuable as the actual pick, IMO. The Astros took advantage of this a few months ago. As for this rumor leaking, wouldn't be shocked at all if it was by Samardzija or his agent as the first step in trying to blame his failures this season on things that could be overcome next year in a new setting.
  2. No Anderson again. Hope he's ok, as I assume they wouldn't bench him at 49 steals on the season.
  3. A frustrating thing is it seems like this is another veteran player that they traded for and had attitude, etc issues with (ie: Swisher).
  4. QUOTE (flavum @ Sep 3, 2015 -> 01:53 PM) The National League is done. Absolutely nothing to watch the rest of the regular season. Only undecided thing is Cubs/Pirates, and who will be home for WC game. Pirates just had a brutal series in Milwaukee, as their pitching has really struggled.
  5. Good to hear. FWIW, there were some media people saying in May/June that Samardzija was annoyed with Cooper making him throw so many cutters.
  6. DJ questioning the mindset that Steverson puts the hitters in. He's been very critical of everything
  7. QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Sep 3, 2015 -> 07:29 PM) The only luck is the luck they get to face him. He's Javy Vazquez with a lower K rate. Javy was better
  8. QUOTE (flavum @ Sep 3, 2015 -> 07:25 PM) My hope is they give him the QO and he doesn't want anything to do with signing with the Sox. Sign a one-year deal with somebody else, and gamble on a better contract for 2017-2020. Still think he could sign a few months into the season, possibly with the Cubs. Seems like a Theo move.

  10. QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Sep 3, 2015 -> 06:18 PM) I just mentioned on the last page, I think the Giants would be ideal for him. They're losing Hudson, Vogelsong, Lincecum, and Cain is a shell of himself. Bumgarner, Leake, Shark, Cain, and ? isn't that bad. They play really good defense out there and the park is huge. Leake a Fa
  11. QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Sep 3, 2015 -> 07:16 PM) They will offer it to him. Some team will give him a longer term for $16 million a year, even if it is for 2 or 3 seasons. He might even be decent for a season if he goes to the correct team. I'm thinking Cardinals or Giants. Pretty sure he wants nothing to do with the west coast again
  12. Was Hawk on drugs last night when he said Abreu had been good on defense? He's been atrocious
  13. Not a chance in hell the Sox should risk him accepting a qualifying offer
  14. QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Sep 3, 2015 -> 06:12 PM) That was a BOMB Must be nice to develop good hitting prospects
  15. Haha what a terrible pitcher. Good thing Cooper's pep talk helped him out. Remove him from the rotation!
  16. A team would be insane to give him a big contract this offseason.
  17. QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 3, 2015 -> 06:58 PM) Fangraphs has him only down 0.3 mph, wonder what the difference in compiled numbers is? 4-seam vs 2-seam?
  18. QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Sep 3, 2015 -> 06:55 PM) His FIP is 4.08, his ERA 4.85. I have watched most of the games. I don't think defense costs him 3/4 of a run per 9 innings, unless they want to set up in the seats. Although that is still a HR. Definitely not a lot of soft contact against him this year
  19. QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Sep 3, 2015 -> 06:46 PM) Levine has asked him several times about a possible injury as an excuse. Samardzija has answered he was fine each time. Fastball velocity has been down a full mph this year http://www.brooksbaseball.net/velo.php?pla...15&s_type=2
  20. QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Sep 3, 2015 -> 06:35 PM) Samardzija is becoming one of my least favorite players of all time. Took this long? I look forward to being annoyed at how well he does back in the NL
  21. He has nothing on these pitches. Just give Montas his starts going forward.

    QUOTE (RockRaines @ Sep 3, 2015 -> 03:14 PM) 5 episodes into Ray Donovan, wow its pretty damn good. Yep, great show. Funny how much people hate his wife while watching

    QUOTE (RegionSox @ Aug 26, 2015 -> 09:38 PM) The Mr Robot season finale is being pushed back a week I think I see why now
  24. Not a fan of both Sanchez and Saladino starting in the same lineup next year. Just not enough offense between the two of them, especially if Flowers and Avi continue to get at bats.
