That was an outrageously illegal block before the pass

Weird how our tyrannical govt has treated this group with such delicacy to prevent unnecessary violence. It's very atypical for a tyrant. Oh well.

At any rate, you might be right, the fantasy sports brand might well survive but not so sure about the columnists. Although a lot of the site itself is outsourced or linked to other content providers/partners. You wrote "because" and then followed up with something that was not an explanation of why you decided talking about Yahoo. Are you aware this thread has nothing to do with China or Yahoo? Feel free to refer to the title of the thread for help.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Jan 2, 2016 -> 03:17 PM) Not sure what you're referring to here or how this in any way related to yahoo, but Yahoo will be fine for the simple fact that their fantasy sports platforms will keep them alive. Far and away the best out there, IMO. Yahoo has never really been top in notch in terms of reporting. Yahoo has some very heavy hitters. I do not know why they were brought up thou.

I have been very surprised by this market. All summer what did we hear.? You can find pitching, hitting and power are hard to come by. This market was supposed to hurt pitchers, yet we have seen sky high prices for them, and the most lob sided trade for one in recent memory. Meanwhile, a great class of outfielders has no market. I have theories, but it's bizarre.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Jan 2, 2016 -> 11:20 AM) We have almost 2500 posts between this and the Gordon thread, and neither of them have even signed a contract yet. Imagine how much action there will be when in these threads when they do finally sign somewhere. Probably not as much, enjoy it now. Offseason is really boring in Jan.

In the players defense, I would be going crazy if I was fighting just to get Ben Zobrists contract which was just paid out.

Seeing Hateful Eight at music box tomorrow. I think that will be fun to see a movie in a crowd that big. Last movie I saw there was ... The room or White Christmas.

I think upton will ho Baltimore if no Chris Davis deal

QUOTE (Dunt @ Jan 1, 2016 -> 02:27 PM) Not entirely sure how this benefits the Sox in any way Sigh, yeah initially I advocated we chill out. But the more I sit with this the more I feel this was a really bad sign. Silence shows more control than this leak.

Chill out, this is just a way for sox to prevent them being used to up price / years

That just says to me it's still a pretty good buyers market

That'd be sweet

Everything was what I expected except slugging was lower.

QUOTE (dpd9189 @ Dec 31, 2015 -> 11:21 AM) Heyman seems to think the Sox are the faves to land Gordon. http://www.cbssports.com/mlb/writer/jon-he...-more-mlb-notes Nice article. Surprised that 154 million contract for Davis is still on the table

Surprised Kazmir would even want one.

Rabbit does you going to drink free beer mean reinsdorf is open to more spending?!?!?

If anyone wants to confirm what rabbit has said feel free to do a quick search on Twitter. We don't need every post asking what he thinks.

QUOTE (flavum @ Dec 30, 2015 -> 12:14 PM) I keep going back to Gordon and Davis going back to their 2015 teams...until both of those guys tell the Royals and Orioles they aren't coming back, nothing else will happen. Hopefully they've set some artificial deadline (like January 1st) to get something done. At some point, they have to move on and sign elsewhere. Maybe it drags to about January 15th, but those are the guys that have to fall first...or at least be excluded from going back. What benefit do the players get from telling a bidder they are out?

Man so much of the hall is just sentimentality now. Bunch of idiots. If Raines announced he had pancreatic cancer he'd probably get in.

Joe...sounds Canadian

Reminds me a lot of samardjiza trade. Tons of smoke over weekend then didn't happen until two days later

Didn't we sign Melky at 1 am?

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Dec 29, 2015 -> 11:34 PM) http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/mlb-big-leag...-233047425.html Lists top five teams most in need of Cespedes... 1. SFG (Pagan would move to a corner) 2. CHW (replacing Garcia in LF makes no sense but okay) 3. Angels (Todd Cunningham slated to start now) 4. Mets (not happening) 5. Orioles (need to compensate for predicted loss of C.Davis) Others: KC, Detroit, StL, Nationals Just FYI the article did not have an others section mentioning KC. That was a caulfield special.
