You survive, Evan?

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Sep 1, 2016 -> 08:00 PM) keithlaw ‏@keithlaw 3m3 minutes ago I'm assuming White Sox RHP Alec Hansen's night is done. If he'd pitched and looked like this all spring he'd have gone in the top 20 picks. Came in here to post that. Nice to see.

If you're in a one quarterback league, it's not really a risk to wait on a qb.

QUOTE (JUSTgottaBELIEVE @ Sep 1, 2016 -> 12:54 PM) sure, but until we do I'm holding off on criticism re: trading Q and Sale That's your prerogative but I'm not sure how much history you need to tell you that's not going to happen.

QUOTE (JUSTgottaBELIEVE @ Sep 1, 2016 -> 12:44 PM) Then if you are out of the race next July, trade them then. Problem solved. If you are in the race then good, that means the team is playing well. So like the last few years when we just stand pat at the deadline? We can play that game again next year too.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 1, 2016 -> 11:07 AM) So having them trade their best players for more talent that needs to be developed is their best solution? That is so irrational. So you don't think Jerry is going to spend an abundance of money because of the fans and trading our best players in a rebuild is irrational so what do YOU want the Sox to do? I don't want to put words in your mouth but it sure seems like you're fine with them sticking on this road that they've been on for a decade now.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Sep 1, 2016 -> 10:16 AM) This is the common retort but trading them for less than they're worth is equally stupid. This really isn't a debate. We should want them to be traded because if they are, a haul is coming in return. If they aren't traded, it's because those deals aren't out there and it's not worth doing anyway. They're going to bring some sort of haul in return, I have no idea what it is, you have no idea what it is and nobody knows what the hell their "worth" is. We can pretend that we do but we don't. All I know is that having them together on this team has done absolutely nothing for us as our front office has no idea how to build around them. As I've said before, trading them is a complete crap shoot but I'm willing to take my chances as I know what results are yielded when we try to build around them. Instead we're going to keep waiting around talking about how valuable their contracts are and continue to miss the playoffs year after year because we need to get full value for them, and nobody knows what the f*** that is. QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 1, 2016 -> 10:21 AM) This is the exact same stuff that was said about John Danks. Just because things aren't great, doesn't mean they can't be worse. We've made the playoffs one time since the WS year, one of 5 teams to only have 1 playoff appearance in that span and we have 0 playoff appearances with these two on the team together. No, things can't get worse.

And in the mean time, while we talk about how awesomely valuable Chris and Q are, we can miss the playoffs for the 6th straight season with them next year.

Shocker. Don't get your hopes up guys, it's going to be the same s***.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 31, 2016 -> 07:33 PM) Its all relative. I mean who else is there right now? Shuck sucks. Coats isn't exactly a premium player either, and isn't on the roster at this point anyway. That's definitely fair. I just don't care at all to see Avi anymore, ever.

QUOTE (harkness @ Aug 31, 2016 -> 07:26 PM) I think Avi has looked better at the plate lately... but defensively he is nothing. As disappointing as he has been... The bullpen has destroyed us this year.... utterly. Our greatest hitter didn't start hitting until august... Frazier hitting .208... Then you add the injuries and a manager who never had the it factor... and you have a 63-69 team He went through a nice streak early in the season too but he'll regress back to being what he is. You still look at his overall hitting stats and he's just garbage. He's just an awful, awful baseball player.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 31, 2016 -> 05:58 PM) Ask me after September. They have been trying to replace the guy for a year now, and every time they think they do, something else happens and he works back into the line up. I know they are working on the whole "launch angle" thing, and there is always a small chance that yields results, but the odds have to be pretty small. As much as I can't stand this organization right now, I do agree with this. They have been trying to replace him and something always comes up, I don't see him back next season. QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 31, 2016 -> 07:04 PM) Because he has more ceiling than anyone else that would be called up right now, and we are out of it. It isn't like we are playing to win anyway. This I don't agree with. The dude has no ceiling at this point.

In all seriousness, moving Eaton out of right field at the moment would be one of the dumbest things you could possibly do.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Aug 31, 2016 -> 07:33 AM) Lets go three f***ing ring circus. Might as well I agree. f*** it, at this point lets just go all in on the clown show.

And we all collectively laugh.

QUOTE (lasttriptotulsa @ Aug 31, 2016 -> 11:08 AM) In case anybody didn't know or forgot, Quintana has the same Cy Young clause in his contract as Sale. If he wins a Cy Young his 2020 option increases from $10.5M to $14M. If he finishes 2nd or 3rd it jumps to $13M. Not that that is a big deal in any way as it's still chump change for his production but just wanted to point it out as a top 3 finish is very possible for him this year. This honestly didn't even cross my mind, good post and reminder.

Q is going to finish like 37th in the CY Young race guys.

It's a very fair question that I don't think anyone has the answer to.

QUOTE (Dunt @ Aug 30, 2016 -> 02:01 PM) This. He's incredibly young for his age. I'm about the same age as my age.

That was wonderful. I hope this isn't about to be another power struggle angle but worry about that later. Kevin Owens is the f***in champ!

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Aug 26, 2016 -> 10:02 PM) What's to stop the Chargers from picking him again? I just saw this post and now I'm super disappointed that this didn't happen ha.

I never realized that HBO basically has every best tv show of all time minus like Breaking Bad and the first 3 seasons of LOST.

My main draft is Sunday. My keepers are: Odell Beckham: 4th round Mike Evans: 5th round Jeremy Langford: 6th round Kelvin Benjamin: 11th round The amount of receivers that got kept in my league is just insane which should make for an interesting draft.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Aug 27, 2016 -> 01:43 AM) Had my wisdom teeth taken out this morning.. God I wouldn't wish this kind of pain on my worst enemy. Not even Gage?
