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.

QUOTE (Dunt @ Jun 1, 2014 -> 02:23 PM) I want a hummer from Kate Upton, but I need to be realistic as well Important post.

For a haul yes, otherwise no. Parity in MLB means we can contend soon with him, or we can trade him for a haul and contend in either '14 or '15 with what's coming here (considering the upcoming high draft pick...and also considering what our payroll will allow us to do i.e. absorb Liriano type guy from someone midyear, etc) I say haul because the contract we signed him to should equate to trade-haul in the right market/circumstances etc. If it doesnt, then no....keep Q

People totally forgetting what Eaton's CF defense has done for this team. Alleviated top of the order OBP and defensive OF problems that dictated last year

QUOTE (TaylorStSox @ May 29, 2014 -> 08:02 AM) This team won't contend with this pitching staff. We could do a money absorption deal that doesnt cost us prospects. After all, we were willing to shell out for Tanaka. Why not another Liriano type deal that doesnt harm the farm Also Sale/Quintana/Noesi is just fine for like 1, 3 and 5...what we lack is mid-rotation dependability and that isn't impossible to get if you are willing to spend midyear. As far as the pen, I thin what we're veering towards, before more overhaul there.....is increased roles for Putnam/Petricka. The whole gig there is just finding who's your Politte (unexpected fleeting success) and separating them from your Vizcainos through the course of the year, and adjusting the roles by midyear if possible.

The gods determined we couldnt be great yet this year, but based on last year they granted us some exciting wins as a reward for suffering

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 28, 2014 -> 10:02 PM) Sierra 12/44 (.273), 1 HR, 4 RBI's (GW), OPS a notch below 700 That's a lot better than DeAza has produced, at least. I'm an ADA guy. ADA babip and track record suggest some return to the norm for him. That said, Sierra pushes Tank to left so I have to say....i approve of Sierra getting his chances. Plus there's potentially a little room for growth with MS

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ May 28, 2014 -> 09:57 PM) Sierra!!!!! Thank you for coming to Chicago!!! SWEEP!!! Definite upgrade over Jordan D. offensively. Has a track record as a minor league hitter. Which, i mean, sadly ..means a lot in this org among OFs

Great to see the goofball side of Sierra. With new guys you see em play it close to the vest up until moments like these ..heh

great throw

Why intentional? Make him chase some s***

Hawk is so shamelessly unprofessional. "NO!"
