QUOTE (danman31 @ Aug 2, 2013 -> 08:19 PM) I agree and am shocked by this move. However, I'm blown away by the money Sounders are paying. $9 million transfer fee and 4 year/$32 million contract. That's big time anywhere. Dempsey wasn't going to make that much in salary over the next four years and Seattle's home crowds are fantastic. I'm trying to think of this as a positive sign for MLS than a negative club move for Dempsey, even if it is. And Seattle is a huge soccer city, correct? Should be very nice for MLS.

Alright good start with the loss and Marlins up 5. Lets go Stros!

Avisail went yard EDIT: I'm an idiot, somehow missed the whole conversation at the top of this page.

QUOTE (Jake @ Aug 2, 2013 -> 03:28 PM) This isn't necessarily a permanent move, of course. It just buys you time with Rios so you don't have to just dump him to get Garcia ABs I was thinking this thread was about a permanent move starting next season. I'm all for doing it for the rest of this season.

It'd really suck to just make Dayan's arm totally useless.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 2, 2013 -> 02:19 PM) Give him a shot there the rest of the way. It would give Garcia at bats, and it would probably help us get that #1 spot! Ha I guess if you look at it that way then I'm all for it.

Dayan taking groundballs at 3rd today.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Aug 2, 2013 -> 01:01 PM) The guy has one .800 OPS season in the minors (and it was in the ever inflated PCL). I don't know what about his past screams that he'd be anything league average at 3rd base. The one thing he did do was consistently post good OBP's down in the minors. He's not a starting caliber 3b, no way in my opinion.

QUOTE (knightni @ Aug 2, 2013 -> 11:52 AM) Filling out applications online. Holy s***. They want to know every single thing about you. I took less assessments when I went to college. Yup. There are some application's that are frustrating as hell. Anywho, I got a 2nd interview on Monday for a job that I've wanted for a couple of years now. Only thing is that it'd require me to move to Milwaukee but at the moment it's pretty much the perfect job for me. Hopefully I don't f*** it up!

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 1, 2013 -> 07:22 PM) Is he the most disappointing prospect in all of baseball? Probably. At least the power seems legit. If he still sucks next year then I'll start to write him off but I'm not panicking just yet even though he's god awful right now.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Aug 1, 2013 -> 07:13 PM) Why did he not start? Not good enough.

SEMIEN GOT OUT

If Alexei is still around next season, I'd rather have Semien starting at 3b than Gillaspie.

Semien is becoming my 2nd best friend behind Chris Sale.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Aug 1, 2013 -> 05:09 PM) At least the Marlins won today. YES YES YES

QUOTE (MEANS @ Aug 1, 2013 -> 03:39 PM) yes that looks great with a stellar cast. anybody catch the "Bad Grandpa" trailer? The pageant scene had me rolling. Hilarious.

Boo to The Challenge yesterday.

QUOTE (Jake @ Aug 1, 2013 -> 02:12 PM) I think Law used to dislike the White Sox because KW had singled him out as an "idiot" in the past. I think he has since, more or less, buried the hatchet. I think this is 100 percent correct.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 1, 2013 -> 02:02 PM) If they are joking, fine, but the baseball draft is boring to many fans out there considering it takes 4 years for the players to even make the majors most times unless it's a college guy. Often the college guys flop. That's nice. One of the great things about Soxtalk is the minor league coverage. People come here to learn about prospects and with this team being as awful as it is, a number of us are excited to get a premier talent into the organization to help the team be good for years to come. It's not difficult to comprehend.

QUOTE (Dunt @ Aug 1, 2013 -> 01:54 PM) While I do think it would be hilarious if people cheered at the park for the Astros, it would also be disgraceful I want this team to get the number 1 pick as much as anybody but I'd never go to the park to openly root against the Sox.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 1, 2013 -> 01:39 PM) Snodgress with 2 ER in last 35.1 innings and only allowing 17 hits Him and Rienzo have just been on incredible streaks after awful starts to the season.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 1, 2013 -> 01:34 PM) Low velocity Gotcha. K number was still ok so I take it the slider was fine?

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Aug 1, 2013 -> 01:28 PM) August 26-28 is gonna be HUGE!!!!!! I didn't even realize we played them again. Fantastic...GO STROS!!!!

What was up with Chris today? And it'd be so great if the Astros can somehow get on a winning streak.
