Nice Duke, way to keep your trade value high.

Also in bonifacio's short sample size he was horrible defensively and an idiot on the base paths. Saladino when he isn't hitting is still good everywhere else. But hey, keep up the bonifacio as a white sox fan club.

I'd add Jennings too. MiGo is the guy you trade for a younger starter down on his luck that you think you can turn around to strike gold for.

At least the second part lends to "Trump wouldn't be so bad" because, he's only interested in the celebrity of president.

What to do at the Trade Deadline
QUOTE (Deadpool @ Jul 20, 2016 -> 09:29 AM) The perception in Chicago Sports Media (not the reality) is that the Cubs rebuilt their franchise on blowing everything up and building their minor league system. While a number of good Cubs players went through their minor league system and the Cubs appear to have drafted well, the Cubs FO found a great deal of success making moves that don't involve the farm system. I think that's disengenous to them. The demand on the sox that they begin competing very quickly into a rebuild forced them to be buyers in a lot of sellers markets, where they could have received surplus value for some pieces (as we saw in late fall of 2014). But yes, great, cubs didn't draft all of their players. Who cares. We know the narrative by now. You can't rebuild! The Royals were bad for a long time! The Pirates were bad for a while! Yeah they were bad because they had a terrible front office and plan, then they put in good people and are good. I expect the owner to demand good people to do good work as well.

Sooooo for all the bad things that the dems will have to say about Trump I'm going to guess nobody says he's allied with satan. But can't wait for more #bothsides.

What to do at the Trade Deadline
QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Jul 19, 2016 -> 03:37 PM) Are we living in a Twilight Zone episode? This same sentiment has been repeated year after year.....and we're in exactly the same position. So we'll be entering 2017 yet again having to fill offensive holes via trade and the scrap heap. It doesn't work out for us, and looking at our record since 2005 few ideas for roster construction have worked. You know the one idea we haven't tried? Selling players with high value! If Hahn fails at receiving high value, which many are afraid of, so be it. He'll be embarrassed, then fired and we'll start over. It's a risk I'd be willing to accept. Continuing on this course of mediocrity will not change our fortunes. And honestly, if the results of the tradeline thread is any indication, a large portion of the fanbase would support selling. Yeah I know....sample size, we're a passionate segment of the fanbase, but assuming the overall result holds true, I don't think many would be upset with selling players like Quintana, Sale if we received good value. Even if it meant conceeding on the season and perhaps the next A very very scientific espn1000 tweet on what the sox should do saw 80% say blow it up.

Their rotations were such a mess last year. If they can clean that up, they'll be better even if they are somehow less athletic. Their communication sucked.

2016-2017 NBA Thread
QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 19, 2016 -> 12:21 PM) Nate Silver did some analysis on the NBA draft picks and somehow projected Valentine as like the 3rd or 4th best player in terms of value over the next 5 years (I think it was 5 years). No idea what basis went into it, but thought I'd point it out. Simmons and Dunn were #1 / #2. I have little doubt that he can contribute offensively but pretty worried defensively. He was probably tired this tourney but he looks stiff as a board.

The problem with Robertson is when he doesn't have his stuff he isn't 1 ER bad he's 600 ER bad. He is always nails for April, gets tired, then suddenly is on only 1 in 10 nights.

QUOTE (Ezio Auditore @ Jul 19, 2016 -> 09:49 AM) I don't honestly in my heart give a s*** about Melania Trump ripping off entire sections of Michelle Obama's speech, but god damn are the jokes funny. #FamousMelaniaTrumpQuotes is a gold mine on Twitter. I don't know that I don't "care", I think it is certainly a sign of the amateurism of the campaign. I mean...it's one thing to plagiarize, it's another to plagiarize another prospective first ladies speech at a convention, it's another one to plagiarize another prospective first ladies speech at a convention that was only 8 YEARS AGO, when there's only been 1 other since! Like, that's a very small pool you are going to be compared to. But yeah, this one from Jessie Williams: I, am Malcolm X #famousmelaniatrumpquotes had me rolling. Also the tweets where she keeps referencing her kids sasha and malia.
