QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 3, 2014 -> 03:08 PM) Chicago White Sox ‏@whitesox 4m4 minutes ago #WhiteSox have claimed OF J.B. Shuck off waivers from @Indians & reinstated RHP Nate Jones from the 60-day DL: http://atmlb.com/1obBbQY obp machine in the minors. 27 yr old.

This is the scenario that unfolds each time, basically. The template: - Hawk introduces Dan Hayes onto the air - Dan Hayes mentions a bunch of interesting, inside tidbits. Stuff that would really appeal to a mainstream...in-need-of-info audience. Not like .....Soxtalk people..necessarily. More so....the garden variety fan. Could really learn a lot if they really had some good back and forth. - Hawk cuts in contributing something completely unrelated, engages Dan Hayes on nothing from what he just said, asks no follow-ups, gives kind of a freestanding anecdotal shart of info that takes us nowhere helpful.. - Hawk says "Thanks Buddy!" and Dan Hayes is instantly gone.

Kasper is great. Hawk I have beloved memories of you, but beloved memories can also be replaced by better, more correct experiences. My son awaits those things and I long for him to receive said things.

Major Eaton caveat at acquisition was that he is, in fact, a crazy weird person

Nice to see those minor league numbers were not totally meaningless. For what he's paid this is value. Not saying a ton but he is a major leaguer. Who knew that the defense would be what...would make that possible

Stark says Yanks checked in on Dayan http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/page/traded...-tampa-bay-rays

hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhwhat

Now that we have larger sample size lets discuss (my apologies if that has been done recently already) On-base and defensive value. In terms of 2015, yep I'm happy.

Haha, just remembered that before the year Boras publicly put down Abreu. To make a larger point about his own guy and the rules, granted. But still out of line/unstudied crap

QUOTE (Baron @ Jun 13, 2014 -> 08:46 PM) All Salty costs was money. Fills a position for 3 years giving you time to find a long term solution. Now your essentially rushed to find a solution. Hahn hasnt made many mistakes but not finding a replacement for AJ was definitely one. flowers for that money is way smarter than saltalamacchia for his money.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 11, 2014 -> 10:01 PM) Hawk wants to know who the hell it is that said Abreu could not play 1st very well. He cannot remember. lol Hawk hates scouting i guess. Hey, i wish there was such a thing as advanced stats to help him out..

Yall were my gamecast: Thank you

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ Jun 9, 2014 -> 10:16 PM) We need Danks back up on the big club. Both balls to begin this inning should have been caught that means danks is one hell of an OF to catch both

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Jun 9, 2014 -> 09:57 PM) De Aza graded positively as a baserunner in every year with the Sox. He's basically a break-even base stealer, and with his above-average speed, the number of times he goes from first to third etc. has outweighed the number of times he gets picked off at first or whatever, although the latter tends to stick in the memory more. He's graded positively every year on defence bar last year in CF, where he graded slightly negatively. I would say that via the eye test he was a reasonable centre-fielder for the most part, and is now a little above average LF. The problem with Alejandro is when he makes a mistake, it tends to be of the "HOLY SH*T DID HE JUST F*CKING DO THAT" variety. They stick in the memory and to me have resulted in some people underestimating his overall value. And yeah, Torii Hunter has been the worst defensive player in baseball this season. I can tell you that without having seen him in the stadium. ADA takes way too much heat. He has produced as a Sox

if nate jones asked me to have a catch id get more emotional than Ray Kinsella w/ his dad

For those attacking Stone - do you believe in magic? Dragons?

NO NIETONOMY

LOOK AT THE PLAY BY BECKUM STRONG ARM OF BECKUM

Unreal Do some trades that mainly just take on dough, a la liriano/youkilis/myers. I am buying in.
