But Ross Gload was one of my favorite players and Viciedo is not, so nothing in common.

My sources tell me that Derrick Rose may or may not want Melo on the team.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Jul 5, 2014 -> 09:52 AM) He is a FA after 2015. It was a nice pick up but about what you would expect to get. Samarj is a good pitcher that got what they should have. No guarantee he is with Oakland this august and certainly not next. Problem with Bryant and Baez is that the K Rate is pretty high. Oops, for whatever reason I was under the impression that he was a fa after this season. Changes things a bit but still a great trade for them imo.

I just saw the highlight of his homerun last night, how the f*** did that ball get out of the park? Good god.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jul 5, 2014 -> 02:22 AM) One is a Top 5 pitcher with filthy stuff and the other has home runs that look like they'd be weak singles from anyone else. You're not wrong. I was a tad intoxicated when I made that post but it's 100 percent accurate.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Jul 5, 2014 -> 05:42 AM) If your goal is to have the #1farm system, it's agood trade. If your goal is to have an mlb pitching staff, not so much. But Jeff is a fa after this season and is/was going to test the market. They got a top 15 prospect for a guy that is going to want much more money than he deserves in the offseason.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 5, 2014 -> 09:03 AM) Assuming he signs, would people trade Rodon for Russell or Bryant straight up? Definitely not Russell but I'd be torn on Bryant. I think I'd say no though cause we need the pitching.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 5, 2014 -> 06:55 AM) It is funny when the Sox acquire a prospect rated in the 70-95 range it is awesome, but when the Cubs get a top 15 guy, it is just dumb. Theo is a dope, but could you imagine what a genius Hahn would be if he had 3 of the top 15 and 6 of the top 41 in the Sox minor league system? Samardz has never finished a season as a starter with an ERA lower than 3.81. He is 29. He wants more than $100 million. This discussion is going EXACTLY how it would if the Sox made the same trade. Some people love it and some people hate it, not a surprise. In my opinion this is a great trade for the Cubs.

Papa Johns is probably my favorite nationwide chain pizza.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jul 4, 2014 -> 12:49 PM) One good enough to fall well short. Yup. No thanks.

I'm extremely biased but Sale and Abreu are two of like the 5 most must see players in baseball.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 3, 2014 -> 07:03 PM) DRose took the LeBron, Wade, Bosh juggernaut 6 games twice, yet you laugh they never have any chance. What was the difference? That never happened.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 3, 2014 -> 03:56 PM) You can vote, so you can make decision that affects the country. sort of Well we can buy tickets/merchandise that gives more revenue to our teams owner and that kind of sort of affects decisions too, no?

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jul 3, 2014 -> 03:29 PM) If I found out my best man did that to me, it'd be very difficult for my fist to not be in his face. My first reaction would be fist to face. No doubt about it. And sorry to hear that athome, that's seriously f***in awful.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 3, 2014 -> 03:27 PM) He's awesome because he came up to me and said he liked my work. All that matters to me. Ha Well so we know he's not very smart than. Ha ha ha.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 3, 2014 -> 03:13 PM) He's very involved but I've never really seen him do anything out of the ordinary except when arguing with the IHSA in Peoria. My buddy who worked for the Bulls told me that there were all kinds of stories about how big of a prick the guy was.

QUOTE (TRU @ Jul 3, 2014 -> 03:01 PM) I spend money on merchandise, I spend money to attend games, I invest time to watch on TV. I can say we all I want. Im invested in my favorite teams, there is nothing wrong with using "we" in reference. I concur.

I've heard Rick is quite the jackass.

It's baseball, if you're healthy then play. Offdays have always been overrated to me.

Ha Gage is all over this. I still don't believe anything being reported but I'm also still positive that he ends up back in NY.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 3, 2014 -> 01:13 PM) Lakers, Bulls, and Knicks reps will all be in LA. Melo is in LA. I wonder if Bulls end up catching up with Melo today. We're just stalking him. Love it.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jul 3, 2014 -> 01:04 PM) I still think the 12+ hour meeting/get together is pretty telling. Who hangs out with people that long if you're not seriously considering it? Well, who wouldn't want to get wined and dined all day and night in Chicago during the summer?

Not a single phrase in this thread bothers me.

Any more good players/prospects want to break this season?
