QUOTE (dasox24 @ Jul 18, 2017 -> 08:24 PM) Feels good to be around when a potential big trade is going down. Haven't been able to do this in a couple years. Forgot how exciting (yet time wasting) it is. Probably breaking the record for most users ever online tonight.

It's gonna be real hard to grade a return for those 3 guys unless it just totally blows your dick off.

This is just absolutely insane, Rick Hahn is a madman.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jul 13, 2017 -> 08:58 PM) I was looking up Jeff Liefers stats the other day to compare to Davidson. Dude had a GREAT year in 2002 I think. 2002 was sad, 2001 though, is a very good comp to Davidson. Nice pull.

QUOTE (beautox @ Jul 13, 2017 -> 08:36 PM) Casey Rogowski...wow that is a name i havent heard in ages The Sox are very good at AAAA 1B, I imagine most teams are but I still believe in Rogo.

QUOTE (Jenksy Cat @ Jul 13, 2017 -> 07:52 PM) Keep KW away from all these prospects so we don't trade for like Miguel Cabrera or something Oh, I know but you specifically said "OF's" so I had to give you s***.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 13, 2017 -> 07:40 PM) Feel sorry for him. (But) I wonder why pitchers with his kind of talent don't just develop an easy throwing motion. I'm no ptatc but his style of pitching just looks painful to the arm/elbow to me. It's really, really, really difficult and rare to be Matt Thornton.

QUOTE (StrykerSox @ Jul 13, 2017 -> 07:25 PM) Yeah, looks like Malone imploded in 2002 and Honel in 2004... There's definitely a conflation of seasons. 2001 is a hot spot: 2001 #1 Jon Rauch #2 Joe Borchard #3 Joe Crede #4 Matt Ginter #5 Dan Wright #6 Lorenzo Barcelo #7 Brian West #8 Aaron Rowand #9 Josh Fogg #10 Jason Stumm #11 Aaron Myette #12 Gary Majewski #13 Jeff Liefer #14 Rocky Biddle #15 Corwin Malone 2002: #1 Joe Borchard #2 Jon Rauch #3 Corwin Malone #4 Matt Guerrier #5 Joe Crede #6 Tim Hummel #7 Kris Honel #8 Miguel Olivo #9 Dennis Ulacia #10 Aaron Rowand #11 Edwin Almonte #12 Matt Ginter #13 Brian West #14 Casey Rogowski #15 Wyatt Allen Man, I really liked Hummel and Rogo.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 13, 2017 -> 07:01 PM) It was the #1 system right around 2000. Scouting wasn't what it was today, however, and not many of those players turned into much. That system had no Moncada, Jimenez or Kopech either. 2000 Sox top 10: #1 Kip Wells #2 Jon Garland #3 Aaron Myette #4 Joe Crede #5 Jason Stumm #6 Aaron Rowand #7 Matt Ginter #8 Dan Wright #9 Lorenzo Barcelo #10 Mark Buehrle That's actually not bad. Getting a Garland, Crede, Rowand and Buehrle out of your top 10 is pretty damn good. Of course, points docked for Danny Wright, statistically one of the worst pitchers of all time given how many innings he threw.

Heh, I do appreciate a 295 million dollar guaranteed commitment being described as "controllable". Any player is controllable if you're willing to guarantee enough money.

I'm pretty sure I destroyed Tim Anderson's career.

Sooooo anyone still doubting the rebuild is real at this point?

QUOTE (Al Lopez's Ghost @ Jul 13, 2017 -> 10:32 AM) Can someone tell me about the infielders? Filler

This is the craziest damn thing that's ever happened.

Holy f*** that's real

QUOTE (bmags @ Jul 12, 2017 -> 01:17 PM) Has Q been bad on extended rest? 4 days: 77 starts, 3.77 ERA, 1.27 WHIP, 102 OPS+ against 5 days: 67 starts, 3.26 ERA, 1.21 WHIP, 99 OPS+ against 6+ days: 23 starts, 3.61 ERA, 1.30 WHIP, 94 OPS+ against So very similar results on 6+ days to the standard 4 days.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 6, 2017 -> 07:50 PM) But who would have envisioned this current 2 for 31? Wouldn't the law of averages suggest a .340 hitter do much better than the current 2 for 31 even if BABIP had to come back to earth? If Avi goes 2 for 31 in his next 31, he'll be back to being a horses*** hitter by old, conventional stats, BA and RBI. You'd be well served to actually read the posts you quote because you clearly don't, seriously, just give up and move on. Either you're getting your jollies or you're impossibly ignorant. This site has so many good posters who present actual facts to support their arguments and it makes for good discussion then you jump in with a high level, obtuse, oh gosh garbage post, congrats that's around 5000 in a row, you're very gifted at not understanding things. Please just stop. Referencing the fact that people hate your insanely ignorant opinions in 1/3 of your posts doesn't earn you brownie points, you just suck. Please, actually do a modicum of research on ANYTHING or just leave. It's not fun, you're just a nuisance. Literally no one enjoys this s***. If you actually gave a s*** about learning baseball you could have here, instead you just tucked your head up your ass and trolled.

Glow is really good.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 28, 2017 -> 07:35 PM) And Moncada homers! RH HR

With Putnam having TJS that takes care of the 40 man crunch, currently stands at 43 with 3 guys on the 60 day so someone had to be removed or moved to 60 day ahead of Rodon being activated.

This is a classic Kenny Williams trade. Grabbing the guy he was enamored with (Dunn) and the insane athlete (LaVine).

This is what regression to the mean looks like.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 17, 2017 -> 06:23 PM) Seems to be focusing on command tonight, as velocity is near 90 (adjusted for slow gun) Expect a super boring line tonight: low K, low BB, some hits, he looks pretty sharp given his approach.
