I hope Ely enjoyed this time up in the majors...he'll be back in AAA shortly.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 10, 2010 -> 03:39 PM) So this potentially makes for an interesting point. If there is insurance involved here, could this mean we now have the cash to make a bigger move than we thought? Insurance wouldn't kick in for this season, IIRC, it's only if the guy misses the entire season (ie: Joe Nathan). If he can't recover and pitch next year, then we'd get money for him.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 10, 2010 -> 04:16 AM) No it wasn't ideal, but the Bulls are a better team than when the season ended. Yep, and their division is WAY worse.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Jul 10, 2010 -> 05:06 AM) As KC just said, the lanes Rose is going to have to drive will be huge...... But now you have 4 really bad defensive players in your main core with Rose/Redick/Korver/Boozer

FT shooting won't improve too much, as Redick/Korver don't get to the line often. Boozer's pretty solid though, nearly 75%.

Redick really going to be starting at the 2? I didn't mind the Korver signing, but having both of those guys doesn't interest me.

QUOTE (beckham15 @ Jul 10, 2010 -> 03:00 AM) WojYahooNBA GState's Anthony Morrow has agreed to a 3-year offer sheet worth approximately $12 million with New Jersey, a league source tells Y! Way to go AMo! Wish Bulls had gone after him instead of Korver, but oh well

Raja Bell would be a great role player for them. He can guard shooting guards and doesn't require the ball on offense.

Very nice, I can get used to these week long win streaks!

wow, Marquez is brutal. That curve of his is Little League-ish. And Greg, no one is saying we're not thrilled AJP did good. Hopefully this gets him going. I'll still take Castro in the lineup over him any day against LHP. With the way the series is shaping up, we'll probably see Castro against a RHP either tomorrow or Sunday afternoon.

This is a devastating injury for Peavy. Even the doctors said there's not much precedent for a pitcher recovering from this. If he starts throwing in ST, I can't imagine him being ready until May. Going to take a long time to build up arm strength again.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Jul 10, 2010 -> 02:24 AM) So Derek Fisher is meeting with the Heat now. It is starting to look like they are going to have an easy time filling out their roster with solid players. I've heard they're going to get Fisher, Ilgauskas, Q. Richardson, Dooling, Raja Bell, Kwame

Wow, an epic meltdown by the Reds. They need bullpen help a lot more than they need another starter.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 10, 2010 -> 02:18 AM) Ha AJ homered against Chen tonight. Fathom was freaking out that AJ was playing even though AJ is our starting catcher. Even a broken clock is right twice a day. I give you credit though for not writing in your unique style.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 9, 2010 -> 10:35 PM) Smoak was an overpay, IMO. Perez or Scheppers would've constituted as a gang rape. I have huge concerns about Smoak, as he's worthless against LHP. He'll hit for power from the left side, but in that ballpark, it shouldn't be hard finding a suitable 1b that can put up 25 homers.

Wow, this deal basically locks up the AL West for the Rangers. Good for them, I hope they show up for the postseason finally.

Rangers did a great job of holding on to Perez, Salty (good trade chip), Sheppers

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 9, 2010 -> 09:22 PM) AJ's hitting .170 with a .506 OPS against LHP on the season. Even worse against lefty starting pitching. Thanks Balta, it's pretty easy to see why I would want Castro playing tonight.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 9, 2010 -> 09:16 PM) Nobody in their right mind gives a f*** about Jones. Except for Williams and Guillen

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 9, 2010 -> 10:06 PM) Smoak and Brett Wallace both traded from the 2008 draft. Could Gordon be next? Better not be

You can bet those 3 others will be pretty damn good also.

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Jul 9, 2010 -> 08:45 PM) they way St. Louis has been playing, this would be huge for the Reds Lee, Volquez, Cueto, Leake, Arroyo

Reds can offer Wood, Alonso, and that catcher whose name I spell wrong, Moreasco

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 9, 2010 -> 07:32 PM) Yeah, I gotta say you are right on that one, Fathom... Are we going to bet on this series? And I agree about therapist... I'd say Sox win 2 of 3, with the loss coming in a blowout on Sunday.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 9, 2010 -> 07:19 PM) And the Cleveland owner is another rich prick moron. He needs to shut the f*** up as well. greg, I'm not saying you're wrong, but don't you always say that Ozzie can say whatever he wants cause he's made a lot of money in his life?
