LOL Chisoxfn, come on, Rose ain't getting you a recent #4 overall pick. Rose for nick young maybe.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Dec 22, 2015 -> 02:36 PM) And his lack of power in a good year he's .800 OPS, more realistically .750 OPS from now on. We were talking about how heyward's .750 ops was worth it.

You read that and thought Rose was the main problem?

QUOTE (Knackattack @ Dec 22, 2015 -> 01:31 PM) Just move Gordon to RF, bat him 4th behind Abreu and in front of Frazier (that's a lot of 3 run bombs), find some insurance guys for the pen/rotation to battle it out in ST and call it an offseason. Keep elite things elite!

QUOTE (Al Lopez's Ghost @ Dec 22, 2015 -> 01:42 PM) My bad, sorry. It's alright, a lot of M's moved in that trade.

QUOTE (Al Lopez's Ghost @ Dec 22, 2015 -> 01:15 PM) He was traded, wasn't he? No, he was an initial name, but the moved players were micah, trayce and montas.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Dec 22, 2015 -> 08:42 AM) Different sport, but Brandon Scherff an Iowa lineman last year, had his knee scoped and missed one practice. Knee scope seems so vague. Noah had his knee scoped and was horrible for a season.

You have to wonder how Wainwright he will be, but that's a great rotation. Good signing.

So, there have been no posts asking if Gordon is about to sign with white sox and it has been here for a day and 100 posts. I think we're okay. Gordon Market Heating Up is not "Gordon signs with White Sox"

Found the article I read on my phone. This makes so much more sense: http://www.vox.com/2015/12/21/10634568/sta...lic-first-order

Do we have anyone that can let us know what the Kansas City media thinks? Would be a huge board assert imo.

I'm on phone but there is a voxplainer on the political outlay of the new Star Wars that was so helpful.

It's funny, ahead of all of our moves I wanted Gordon the most. Now I want others. I think the defensive benefit (going so hard in the OF, right next to Eaton) would add a lot of watchability and edge to this team. But I feel like all of the top 3 would add a lot, but the edginess of Cespedes and Gordon (jumping into stands, etc) would be a lot of fun. Plus my tix are in RF so ...

If we move Pau I would like to start playing Portis more than 0 mpg.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Dec 21, 2015 -> 04:35 PM) You put him in a proper platoon situation and put him in a place where he can be a valid contributor. But who has the team to bother with that? Carrying a player that requires a platoon that can play 1 OF position (poorly)?

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Dec 21, 2015 -> 04:42 PM) I agree, but I think it also clears the log jam and allows Noah to be the #1 option at center, with Taj, Niko and Portis rotating in at 4/5 where needed. How does it clear a logjam when you are talking about a return of Zbo?

Moving Pau without getting wing help doesn't make sense to me. It's at best a wash.

If Avisail garcia could not start on a bad team desperate for offense, what chance does he have on any other?

Pau has a NTC.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Dec 21, 2015 -> 04:02 PM) I saw it at Icon in the South Loop, good theater. I just felt his audio wasn't as crisp. I liked the sound of him with his mask on, don't get me wrong. But I missed a few minor things. Maybe it was just me. Saw it at the same theatre and did not have that experience. Thought of bane and how much better this was.

True, I have no idea who that tweet is.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Dec 21, 2015 -> 02:33 PM) Could say basically the same thing about the "proven veteran" Melky. You couldn't actually because as bad as he was, he was not -1.1 fWAR like Avisail which is what was mentioned here.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Dec 21, 2015 -> 01:18 PM) I want an Obi-Wan film with McGregor back so badly. I'm surprised by this. I can't even look at screen shots of that movie without cringing at the costumes/lighting.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Dec 21, 2015 -> 12:49 PM) On the positive side, Rose is starting to play better. If I were going to look at this season thus far: Biggest positive is general health + Jo's resurgence & Dougie's emergence Biggest negative is probably Rose's play...although I might actually put Niko as a bigger negative. Dude has been horrific (and from a value perspective, entering the season, he was our most attractive trade asset outside of Jimmy). Agree on both. Honestly Niko sucking is #1 negative for me, Jo's resurgence positive #1. The defense has been pretty good. This offense though is still iso hell.

I feel like Daniel Murphy is going to end up as a nelson cruz like signing. No market for him, but found a fit and is now a cheap incredibly productive hitter. Wish we had a DH spot for him.
