2016 Cubs catch-all thread
QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Jul 13, 2016 -> 07:51 PM) Give me one logical reason why a Cubs fan should want to be on a White Sox forum. I'm waiting. We have royals, twins fans on the board, we have had Indians and Red Sox fans in the past. Deadpool says he is a white sox fan, and while he spends a lot of time on this thread, it seriously isn't your place to call anyone out and act as if they have no right to be on this board. You don't decide priveleges. Run along now

2016 Cubs catch-all thread
QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Jul 13, 2016 -> 06:54 PM) You posted not even 12 hours ago to "stop the dumb" in this thread. The comment you posted above is dumb. Not sure why you're always trying to pick fights with me. Because you came in this thread starting s*** for no reason, just like you did when you went out of your way to call me stupid for spelling Zimmermann wrong.

Yasiel Puig Trade Rumors
QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 13, 2016 -> 05:05 PM) "Traditionally, centre field is not a premium offensive position," Hahn said. "You put a premium offensive player (Avisail Garcia) at a premium defensive position, it puts you in a pretty good spot for a club going forward. "We are not married to the idea of him playing centre. We wanted to take a look at it, get to know the kid a little bit better. He's extremely athletic, he has a world of tools and we want to give him the opportunity to play it out again at the premium position, even if he ultimately does wind up at a corner here in Chicago." http://m.bluejays.mlb.com/news/article/55983572/ Hmmm, not sure that has anything to do with you polishing his hall of fame statue every day when he came up. Nor does it have anything to do with you declaring he was the best centerfielder in the league despite him playing the position like 3 times that season

2016 Cubs catch-all thread
QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Jul 13, 2016 -> 11:12 AM) I just don't understand why you're on a White Sox forum if you're a Cubs fan. It makes no sense. what is it your business if he is or isnt?

Tim Anderson
QUOTE (GreenSox @ Jul 13, 2016 -> 10:03 AM) And now there are Marcus Semien and Trayce Thompson. (and soon to be, imo, Tyler Saladino). Ability to evaluate talent, including your own, and willingness to develop it is part of it. There's a balance to be drawn. And trading excess for one or two year players, considering the state of this org., is madness. And Flowers played a defense-first position; he handled the position defensively. I get it that everyone was sick of him; i was sick of him. But the veteran replacements have "proven" to be a downgrade. It will be interesting to see if the Sox try to extend Frazier. He'll have to stop his Chris Carter impression to make that worthwhile; and in the last couple of weeks he seemed to be making progress in that regard. You have noticed that Thompson is hitting like .200 over the last 2 months and pretty much all of his numbers have fallen off the table, right? Let's see him over the course of a full season before we decide he is a terrible player to trade

Tim Anderson
QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 13, 2016 -> 09:28 AM) But how can we honestly say Semien was traded "out of depth" when none of those players were clear/sure-fire/ready-to-go replacements at either 2B or 3B? They were possibilities. Actually, you'd have to believe the White Sox valued Conor Gillaspie and Gordon Beckham more at 3B based upon their actions (or lack thereof). Isn't that also part of the reason Emilio Bonifacio was acquired, to share time at 2B and give Micah Johnson some competition (PR/outfield, 3B, etc.) We said all along that if you merged Saladino/Micah/Carlos/Leury into ONE player, then you might have a major league regular. Saladino was also coming off an injury that was going to limit him heading into 2015 (at least there was the idea he wouldn't be ready to start the season or even maybe be ready to go in May). Trey wasn't even close to the majors (he still isn't 1 1/2 years later) and Davidson had a 644 OPS in AAA, so it would have been nearly impossible to project him as a starter coming into 2015. Who is "we"? Seriously, you are just making stuff up. Any time you are called out on your broad generalities or hindsight opinions you default to "well everyone said at the time..." Or "well other people on the board said it"

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Jul 13, 2016 -> 09:13 AM) Oh right, forgot Saladino too. Thats ok, I forgot Leury lol. Wasnt sure if Trey M-alphabet should have been included in that group

Tim Anderson
QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 13, 2016 -> 08:50 AM) Who were their future 2B and 3B at that time? you seriously have named them multiple times in this thread. the pool of Sanchez/Davidson/Saladino/Anderson/Johnson were all thought to be possible replacements or trade chips for replacements. You are just arguing anymore to see yourself argue, with hindsight points that change from sentence to sentence.

**2016 Video Game Thread**
QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Jul 13, 2016 -> 01:41 AM) It's not happening AFTER the gotcha message. The ball rolls and rolls and then stops moving....and then nothing. No "gotcha", but the leaves in the background still move around. I force close the app, load the game back up, and my pokemon are in my inventory. I got this this morning before work, and did not get the pikachu(which i couldnt believe i found). I was pretty annoyed.

PENN STATE SCANDAL
One of the 2nd mile kids reported an assault to the lady at his dorm(RA?), and then was told he was going to have to write an apology letter or go to Juvenile hall as punishment. So messed up http://deadspin.com/court-docs-sandusky-vi...ette-1783526182

**2016 Video Game Thread**
It has only happened to me pre "gotcha". So I'm losing the catch and the ball I can always tell by watching the background, it always freezes before the ball stops moving

Todd Frazier Trade Rumor
It was Bruce Miles, not Levine. He kind of mentioned it offhand, like "So what if Frazier got traded?", as if he had heard something and was throwing it out there. They are gonna ask Levine when he calls in today
