If Robin Lopez is the 2nd best player on your roster, you are the New York Knicks guys. We did it!

QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Jun 22, 2016 -> 02:33 PM) What else are you getting for Rose though? If anything you're being nice by giving the guy a fresh start, in a big market, with a year left to get his next big contract. I wonder if they see Grant as someone that can develop? Did anyone see him play last year? A negative move is better. Rose, flaws and all, is better and in a better place in his contract than any of the bulls*** they just received.

Would be surprised if Jerian Grant outperforms Justin Holiday.

Derrick rose was a FA after this year. There is no need to trade him to take on a bunch of multi year terrible players. Derrick Rose is so bad we have to cut bait, well, guess what that looks calderon – grant – dinwiddie butler – snell dunleavy – doug taj – niko lopez – portis with cap spaced a 14th pick. blow this motherf***er up all the way Are you better next year? This is a terrible move by a front office now showing they may even be stupider than Bryan COlangelo.

This was not the right move. Lopez and calderon are signed to multi year deals. This was a garbage move by a bunch of terrible executives. This is a terrible trade.

If you thought Reinsdorf's managing of the modern sox is bad, just look at the bulls to feel better.

Ugh, if you were wondering how depressin gthe bulls franchise is right now, that's a great example.

As much as I hate everything about the state of the franchise, if you take lumps this year you are still entering 2018 with some promise. Rebuilding in basketball is just not the same.

George Hill continues to net great returns.

Chicago White Sox ✔ @whitesox The #WhiteSox have claimed right-handed pitcher Juan Minaya off waivers from Houston. He will be assigned to Class AAA Charlotte. http://www.baseball-reference.com/register...id=minaya001jua From: http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/evaluating-...houston-astros/

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jun 22, 2016 -> 11:41 AM) Have the Sox ever had a good player from the Dominican Republic developed through their system ? I don't know the history of Dominican baseball but it's safe to say they have made quite an impact on baseball for the last 50+years since the days of the Alou brothers and Rico Carty . Telling me that the Latin pipeline is growing for the Sox is like telling me they just got a new rotary phone when the rest of baseball is using cell phones. Well, for a time the white sox were quite successful. As both Magglio Ordonez and Carlos Lee were great finds from non-draft scouting. The Dave Wilder era was a literal lost decade, which only began getting cleaned up in 2013 with Marco Paddy. Those players are finally coming stateside with major positive ramifications.

So, probably gonna let this thread ride today for any more championship talk then close before the draft, just FYI.

AZ is going to be fun to follow this year.

Looked at the stats this morning. They kinda yada yada's how terrible Eads was after the fist pump chapter where he had a 1000 ops.

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Jun 21, 2016 -> 03:15 PM) .450 OBP?? Last I saw his OBP was .538.... You know, that's what I thought it was but figured I was wrong.

Yeah, but, best college hitter in the draft, 450 OBP. Don't have many of his kind. Can't wait for him to play.

So I didn't know rabbits dug. I didn't really give a s*** that they were eating in my garden but they ruined my new lawn in the 2 days I was in north carolina. 4 gigantic noticeable holes. I saw it this morning and threw an apple at it. I don't know if that solves the problem. Looking up bulk urine sales now.

Winston Salem fans should rejoice. That team finally will have players worth watching.

I would advise not to go on Stubhub yet. In addition to that raffle they'll do, it's underrated how many seats that theatre holds plus the amount of shows. Buying now is playing into hands of people hoping to gouge you.

QUOTE (shipps @ Jun 21, 2016 -> 12:51 PM) Can I ask how much did you pay? I did mezzanine tix at face value ($117). Bit steep but we had actually started a savings bucket for these tix in January.

It's okay Andrew, has to be hard to watch the party you belong to nominate a know-nothing fraud running on a platform of being a billionaire who turns out to be poor. Maybe Clinton will lure Trump in as a voter if she rolls out a nice subsidy program to help out destitute prop developers get back on their feet.

woo hoo, ended up calling their robot phone number and got tickets for 12/15.

ugh, this is miserable. I know I failed at getting tickets but its still going to string me along for 45 more minutes acting like I'm in line for anything. assholes.

I'm sure statistically the likelihood of becoming a pro athlete if your father or mother was a pro athlete is significantly higher. Look at the MLB draft every year and how many pedigree picks there are.
