I know a lot of bodybuilders who have Low-T prescriptions. The stuff doesn't work nearly as well as anabolic steroids, but they're definitely better than being natural.

If you're into dietary supplements, do not buy or discontinue buying Driven Sports Craze...unless you like amphetamines Supplement designer has shady history, including presently spiked product

Marvelous unintentional dong

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 24, 2013 -> 08:26 PM) Lol, in a "random" drug test setting, why would Konerko get selected 10-11 times. It's like they are purposefully testing him because they know he is clean I swear they did this in my high school

Catching Rondon looks like a nightmare

Maybe I'm being dumb, but I just don't like having a pitcher be the best part of a deal. Especially if this deal might be our only major move

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 24, 2013 -> 09:10 PM) In that video on Crain that balta posted, Ventura stated he wanted to try and keep the pitchers around 100. Give or take 10%

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 24, 2013 -> 09:08 PM) Ventura is not afraid to let these starters go a long time out there on the mound. The recent industry trend is to try to stretch starters out towards 120 pitches per outing. Not necessarily trying to average that much, but definitely try to get them used to being in excess of 100-105

Maybe I'm desensitized, but I wasn't that grossed out by it. Can't tell if it's dislocation or fracture

Death by homers and death by chopped singles all in one game

I'm not in love with Middlebrooks by any means, but if they're going to sell low on a talent like that, I'm happy to see if he can pan out around here. I'm not sure how much other talent I'm sacrificing to roll that dice, but in theory I'm all for it.

I'd like to have Middlebrooks. I don't know if I can say with certainty how much of the talent of a deal he should comprise, but we should get some guys like him.

What has impressed me most about Josh so far is his ability to make intra-game adjustments at the plate. Sometimes, he makes intra-at-bat adjustments.

John's doctor fixed my shoulder in May so I get to ask him about John on a fairly regular basis. He tells me that the most optimistic outcome for John is that roughly August is when he could start to have normal velocity and normal command. He said the surgery is very simple, reinjury risk is low, but recovery takes a bit and he would be surprised if John pitches like his old self before he gets an offseason at normal health. This is where I'm coming from thinking that John will be okay.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 24, 2013 -> 08:27 PM) Oh, for a moment I thought it might have had something to do with money... Money plays a role. Money is meant to buy you certainty. Young players not costing money is meant to offset the risk that they are worthless.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 24, 2013 -> 08:23 PM) Ok, and why do we need to turn Danks into young players? Firstly, we don't have to do that. If you did, it is like most deals - you think the collection of players you receive will be worth more wins than the guy you trade away. Particular to our situation, unless something changes, chances are that a trade of Danks for young (or old? I don't give a s***) bats involves trading from a position of strength to cover a position of need.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 24, 2013 -> 08:19 PM) When the best scenario is that you basically break even, and the odds of that are low, it's probably not smart to miss out on the chance of taking a mulligan on the deal. Tell me why it is that young players are so desirable again? With the TV money going out next year and just normal player salary inflation, it gets easier and easier to outperform the $15 million number as time goes on

I don't hate Kepp, but he's about the last guy I want to see up with a man on first and 2 out
