QUOTE (iamshack @ Oct 23, 2013 -> 02:11 PM) Even with that very important strength, I don't like the idea of trading Quintana for a prospect and another guy that seems to be on the same path as Gordon Beckham. Sure the 22nd best prospect is nice and all, but I'll take the guy who has been proving it in mlb for the last two seasons anytime unless I am getting something better than Lawrie. I've been very against trading a starter for Lawrie but you add in Sanchez and it gets much more interesting.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Oct 23, 2013 -> 11:23 AM) Some places are projecting him top 5, so the Eagles may have to pay to get him. Ya, people are saying he's right on Bridgewater's heals now for the top qb in the class.

Johnny has a weak arm, he's not going to be able to make some NFL throws unless he has Drew Brees like accuracy, which he doesn't have. And Russell Wilson is not only more accurate of a thrower but also has about three times the arm strength that Manziel has. Obviously we'll see but I just don't think the physical tools are there for Johnny to be a successful starter in the NFL.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Oct 22, 2013 -> 09:45 AM) Forgive me for not getting excited about guys coming off seasons of 4.53 and 5.66 ERAs respectively. Still, there was genuine excitement about Hermanson... http://www.soxtalk.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=26944 Not so much Politte http://www.soxtalk.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=13936 People were pretty stoked about Duque too because the Sox had a real 5th starter. Pods, yes; Dye, no; AJ, no. We were also excited about Iguchi: http://www.soxtalk.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=29022 Sox fans generally do have a pretty good grasp of the team's signings Fun to go back to old threads and look at which posters were around back than.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Oct 22, 2013 -> 09:52 PM) I don't know, are you about to go acquire Roberto Alomar for your flex? 2 and 5 isn't done, 2 and 6 depending on your playoff set up and where teams are, likely is. 8 and 6 if you have high points usually gets the 4th and final playoff spot in my league so I'm basically banking on going 6 and 1 the rest of the way. Not impossible but extremely difficult. I just really don't want to give up on my team, it's too good of a roster.

I feel like Kenny Williams, I'm 2 and 5 so I should probably sell and load up on keepers but since I have the most points in the league I refuse to. I feel I have the best team in the league but I'm just not winning, I am Kenny Williams aren't I?

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Oct 22, 2013 -> 04:08 PM) Any hype that Trayce had received up until about the half way point of this year has been thoroughly deflated at this point. Even with the improvements in his peripherals, it's been a disappointing season. Obviously the tools are there but he's off my own personal radar at this point, I don't think he'll ever be a major league starter.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 22, 2013 -> 08:04 PM) Was that before Flacco and Rodgers got extensions? That's definitely going to impact that number, but good point some of it is probably in the bonus Joe Flacco just sucks.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Oct 22, 2013 -> 05:54 PM) Well, Rex Grossman sure didn't run as much as Manziel. It's hard to find a perfect comparison for Manziel, the best I've thought of is Colt McCoy though Colt didn't run as much. I like Johnny more than pretty much everyone but I don't see him being a successful NFL starter.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Oct 22, 2013 -> 03:41 PM) Bears already have too many wins to get that pick. The draft is so deep at qb but ya Teddy will most likely go 1 or 2 overall.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Oct 22, 2013 -> 02:10 PM) Question is, will the boost in defense make up for the major drop in offense? They'll be looking for a new ss by midseason next year.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Oct 21, 2013 -> 10:27 PM) Freeman just looks brutal. I really believed he was going to be one of the good young quarterbacks about halfway through last year. All the physical tools are there, apparently something is missing between the ears.

QUOTE (bmags @ Oct 21, 2013 -> 10:22 PM) This game is hilarious. Horrendous and entertaining all at once.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Oct 21, 2013 -> 09:08 PM) Another dominant night for the Bulls and Derrick. 106 and 0.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Oct 21, 2013 -> 12:41 PM) haha, I said NEXT year, not THIS YEAR. It's Daniel not Brandon, that's what he's saying.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Oct 21, 2013 -> 01:41 AM) Good thing I didn't listen to you. Bell and Lacy (especially) were great. McCoy was surprisingly my only weak link. He has AP going tomorrow and I have Victor Cruz leading by 42 points. I think it's safe to say barring a Doug Martin against Oakland-like game, I should be 5-2. (as well as beating two guys who were unbeaten in back to back weeks ) You must be in a non ppr league. Andre out scored Bell in my .5 ppr.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Oct 21, 2013 -> 11:20 AM) What's up with all these serious injuries on pedestrian looking plays? Cutler's sack looked totally normal and Wayne looks like he was just diving for the ball. Wayne's leg got caught underneath him cause of the bad pass. Andrew Luck basically tore Wayne's acl.

That Prater fg just lost me the week by .6 and basically ended my season. 2-5 with the most points in the league. Fuuuuuck

It's amazing that Peyton has been so damn awesome this season with that weak ass arm he has.

It depends where you live I assume. Because I went to SIU I know a ton of Cards fans, some are awesome baseball fans, some are awful, but for me, I'm just tired of the Cards and have no interest whatsoever in this World Series.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Oct 20, 2013 -> 05:57 PM) I am Club President since I said it first, but you are absolutely VP. Pretty sure I said it first.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Oct 20, 2013 -> 04:17 PM) Bulls are winning the title this year! Welcome to the club, I think there's 3 of us there now!

QUOTE (Brian @ Oct 20, 2013 -> 04:35 PM) He's dead to me for the rest of the year. He should be. Today was all him being awful. He left 2 or 3 tds on the field with horrendous throws.

Brady is a f***in joke.

QUOTE (Brian @ Oct 20, 2013 -> 10:00 AM) Gronk is a candy ass. I was so damn excited about his return but my opponent this week ended up trading for him so I'm ok if he wants to take one more week off ha.
