QUOTE (La Marr Hoyt HOF @ Sep 1, 2014 -> 11:06 AM) Are you kidding us? He absolutely sucked .... Worst FA signing in Sox history. Deserves all the boos and heckling this community can direct his way. And there's a difference between booing and calling a person a piece of ****.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Sep 1, 2014 -> 12:29 AM) They might have the best defensive line in all of football, so it probably wasn't the best landing spot for him. That's the real issue,t they're deep enough at that position that as a football decision they can't keep an extra DLineman on their practice squad. All you can ask is that how they're treating him is fair based on football decisions and so far that's true. I am getting a bit tired of the excessive attention though, he isn't a big enough impact player to receive hours of time discussed on TV. Hopefully the start of the actual season cuts that back.

QUOTE (Andy the Clown @ Sep 1, 2014 -> 02:44 AM) C'mon man. Fans don't like bad baseball players. Fans really don't like bad baseball players that eat up payroll and prevent improvement in other areas. Let's not make this more than it is. That doesn't justify the kind of garbage slung at Dunn in this thread.

QUOTE (GreatScott82 @ Aug 31, 2014 -> 09:43 PM) Tank is still pretty young and has a little value left. I'm assuming he will be traded this offseason for a decent prospect. I don't think anyone will trade for him until after the arbitration offer deadline because they wonder if the Sox will non-tender him, and then I don't think anyone will trade for him afterwards because if he is offered arb no one will want to spend $5-6 million on him next year. I think he'd get less than that as a free agent.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Aug 31, 2014 -> 09:03 PM) How is Davidson defensively? Better or worse than Conor? It's not supposed to be his strong suit, but with a guy who is 22 there's always room for improvement.

QUOTE (Jerksticks @ Aug 31, 2014 -> 09:03 PM) I feel like all WAR does is group all the good players, and then you have to go back to stats to make sense of it. But of course most baseball fans already know who the good players are because they are good players, and consequently have good stats. I'm glad it's not used for MVP considerations. And I'm also glad that it's not used by front offices for evaluation. ^that last part is just for riling up I think a lot of them will have their own versions of it.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Aug 31, 2014 -> 08:48 PM) http://comeseesumting.com/2014/08/chiefs-s...mil-guaranteed/ Well then. I guess what the Bears did last offseason could have been worse.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Aug 31, 2014 -> 07:21 PM) I think you're reading into it a bit much. Right after he said bad timing, he said wrong decision. He's clearly not endorsing people to beat their wives. The problem is there's really no way to come off in that statement without looking "iffy".

I don't think I'm wrong in reading this thread as sarcastic.

H. Christ. Because what we need is more threads taunting Adam Dunn.

COME ON ANDY LET'S GET THAT FIRST HIT!!!

QUOTE (Vance Law @ Aug 31, 2014 -> 04:25 PM) We're all happy with the job you are doing as GM. What was the offer a month ago? I'd have accepted this offer a month ago. And the A's could have used the bat.

Nice swing Avi. Double on what wasn't a bad pitch.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Aug 31, 2014 -> 04:14 PM) Well you were missing the point that the trade was a direct result of Jaso going down. There was probably no interest a month ago. And if that's the case, then I laugh at Billy Beane for being a fool anyway.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 31, 2014 -> 04:07 PM) Just got home, looks like an ugly game by Detroit. Meanwhile, can Q avoid the predictable late collapse? Understatement.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Aug 31, 2014 -> 03:28 PM) Garcia has no use on the 40 man anymore. This is silly. He's a talented player and there's always worse stuff on the 40 man. He's in a poor place for him, he was rushed way faster than he should have ever reasonably been due to his ability to play multiple positions. He ought to have been starting at AA this year.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Aug 31, 2014 -> 03:32 PM) If only Jaso got injured a month ago. He was terrible as a DH anyway.

QUOTE (The Ultimate Champion @ Aug 31, 2014 -> 03:21 PM) IIRC it's about a $10.5M paycheck broken in half over 2 years to make him a 2-year, $9M LHSP on another team. That's doable I think. Will the Sox penny pinch & act like babies about it, and cry poor again? Probably, but it's doable I'd bet. And if the White Sox are spending $10 million a season to send John Danks elsewhere, they're not likey to spend $10 mil a year on another pitcher.

QUOTE (Joshua Strong @ Aug 31, 2014 -> 03:39 PM) Bring up Davidson to start the year at the hot corner, and move Connor to left. No chance. Davidson clearly hasn't earned it.

QUOTE (daggins @ Aug 31, 2014 -> 03:12 PM) Sale Latos Quintana Noesi Rodon Looks good, rite? I think Montas is a reliever long term. Jury is out on Danish If you can tell me what happened to Danks without writing him a $28.5 million check to play someone else, I'll agree. But that's the case for any of those expensive free agent righties.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Aug 31, 2014 -> 03:09 PM) Mitchell Already on the 40 man.

QUOTE (TitoMB @ Aug 31, 2014 -> 02:56 PM) LMFAO I didn't realize the circus was in town this weekend.

Tigers looking like the 2013 White Sox.

Where the Hell was the pitcher?

Tigers getting the announcers annoyed with their defense.
