QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Aug 28, 2014 -> 10:01 PM) Someone please explain to me without using WAR why Trout supposedly has a huge lead over Abreu. Yes, he is a good baserunner and he fields well, but hitting is the biggest factor in MVP voting, and Abreu has more HR, RBI, and a much better AVG. He's a better player on a better team, not that hard to figure out.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Aug 28, 2014 -> 10:11 PM) Drunkbomber's ppr league plus some other different rules. QB- Cam RB- Ben Tate RB- CJ Spiller WR- Calvin Johnson WR- Dez Bryant TE- Jason Witten Flex- Antonio Brown D- Arizona Bench WRs- Torrey Smith, Brandin Cooks RBs- Stephen Jackson, Lamar Miller, Shonn Greene, Terrance West Your receivers are very average.

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Aug 28, 2014 -> 07:10 PM) Only 12 GB of the wildcard. That's much less than 1 game per day. Stat head.

QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 28, 2014 -> 06:11 PM) This thing called the internet http://www.wrestlezone.com/news/506359-jak...s-in-icu-update Never heard of it. My twitter feed/wrestling sites I usually go to weren't on it so I was just curious. Thanks. Hopefully he pulls through.

QUOTE (thxfrthmmrs @ Aug 28, 2014 -> 05:57 PM) Are you sure you're following the person? I will not live to believe that a professional pitcher can be exempt from starts just because he was friend zoned by a girl? I mean wth is the girl thinking about? Looks like I found my new excuse to call off work.

QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 28, 2014 -> 05:55 PM) Jake Roberts in the hospital. Fading in and out of consciousness. Damn. Where'd you see that?

Didn't see that one coming but I'm all for it. Something fun and new to watch.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Aug 28, 2014 -> 11:18 AM) Where are you playing Micah Johnson? At the ugh please don't take Semien's spot, position.

QUOTE (Jerksticks @ Aug 28, 2014 -> 11:07 AM) Danish, Hawkins, Anderson & Jared Mitchell. 3 1/2 first-rounders; does that get Stanton? I feel like Anderson and Danish in a package should get us to any discussion table. Nope.

QUOTE (bmags @ Aug 28, 2014 -> 08:58 AM) 12 team, I've never made the playoffs in this league. I've never had a good draft. I fell on the bad side of a TE run (also 4 TEs were keepers) QB-Foles WR- Cobb WR - Victor Cruz RB - Adrian Peterson RB - Lamar Miller TE - Cook/Graham (not two TEs, just not sure which to start) Flex - TY Hilton Bench - Hyde, Watkins, Jeremy Hill, McFadden, RGIII K- Prater (autodrafted, sigh) DEF - STL D - Patrick Peterson Who was your 2nd round pick here?

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 27, 2014 -> 01:21 PM) Sergio Santos DFA'd again. No one will pick him up, and Toronto will surely pay the buyout. I bet he is one guy the Sox will want back for a look next spring if no other team does anything crazy. Has his stuff diminished or is he just a head case at the moment? If the arm is still there I'm all for giving him a chance on the cheap.

Jurko sucks but I like Waddle.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Aug 28, 2014 -> 09:50 AM) One million times 999,999 times.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 28, 2014 -> 09:47 AM) Really nice to see the way that K rate has dropped. The bb percentage increase is awesome to see as well. Dude is just an awesome hitter who apparently can adjust very well to the major league game.

QUOTE (shysocks @ Aug 28, 2014 -> 09:16 AM) Was looking up Abreu's first and second half splits this morning because while it's obvious that he's not hitting for as much power, it still seems likes he's been no less effective. Anyway, I noticed something interesting. 1st half: .292/.342/.630/.972, 6.3 BB%, 23.4 K%, 162 wRC+ 2nd half: .361/.438/.534/.972, 9.8 BB%, 18.3 K%, 169wRC+ Funny that he's gotten to an identical OPS in such drastically different ways. In conclusion: stud. That's pretty crazy actually. Good stuff.

QUOTE (ron883 @ Aug 28, 2014 -> 07:55 AM) The homerism in this thread is ridiculous lmao. There's really not much homerism going on in this thread at all. I think you can be completely objective and say the Sox and you can be completely objective and say the Cubs, it really is a close call. Hell, if you want to believe fangraphs you can say that the Sox have 3 of the top 50 most valuable players in the majors right now, that's a pretty awesome core in place just right there. Like Buehrle>Wood said, I've also defended the Cubs rebuilding plan just as much as anyone around here but when you take everything into you can make a fair argument that the Sox have a better group of core players, just like you can make a fair argument that the Cubs have the better core.

Both have a chance to be really good.

QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 27, 2014 -> 05:31 PM) I'm old because I don't remember those first town houses. Must not have been built. They weren't. First year was 07.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Aug 27, 2014 -> 04:37 PM) I would agree. He has pushed past his innings from last year. That's what you like to see post injury. Building the innings. Do you think it's possible for his shoulder to loosen up more and regain some velocity, or is what we got this year what we're going to get from now on?

QUOTE (Sonik22 @ Aug 27, 2014 -> 04:09 PM) My old townhouse is right there in the first picture. Good times, miss that place. Ha same actually. Do you remember what Apt number you were? I think we were Q8. Pretty crazy too cause we were there the first year Aspen was built and the back yard there was just a yard.

http://universityprimetime.com/southern-il...age-shows-epic/ And nobody invited me.

There's definitely a chance that Baez can be a complete bust but he's still ridiculously young too.

QUOTE (bmags @ Aug 27, 2014 -> 02:42 PM) Eh, pre-draft there was a lot of people gushing over him, but I would need Quinarvy to put something together to see if it was just one superfan. Haha fair enough.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Aug 27, 2014 -> 09:55 AM) Holy cow he got a lot of that ball. Quick hands. QUOTE (StRoostifer @ Aug 27, 2014 -> 01:53 PM) Semien 2/3 with 2 2B 1BB 1K. Average up to .271! Gotta find some room for his bat in the lineup. He's really, really good.

QUOTE (bmags @ Aug 27, 2014 -> 09:23 AM) Pretty clear from my post: "I just find the hype train on the board" How many people have really hyped him on the board though? A bunch of us have said he'll at least be exciting to watch cause he can jump high, I don't think anyone has went overboard saying he's a stud or anything. There have been more people here declaring him a bust than anything.
