QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Dec 11, 2014 -> 07:29 PM) Do any projections have JD Martinez improving on last year? Or Conor? Obviously, the Tigers weren't willing to trust Rajai Davis to repeat his 2014, especially the first 3-4 months. They also weren't able to stomach a defensive black hole in CF manned by the likes of Don Kelly. Well first off, they aren't even remotely close to the same type of player, so putting them on the same projection path is odd to say the least. Second off, you indicated that maybe he was going to attempt the same thing Conor did, not "he won't improve because it is not likely". And that is even more odd when you read it the way you put it. And this is because what Conor did was sacrifice power for average, which i certainly dont see Martinez doing. I dunno man, sometimes your streams of consciousness in these threads are a bit out there.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Dec 11, 2014 -> 04:56 PM) Can Gose hit? Can JD Martinez do the same thing Gillaspie is attempting or was it a fluke? Will Castellanos take the next step? What happens at SS between Suarez and Iglesias? How long before Victor and Cabrera fall apart? What happened to the "real" Alex Avila...or is this the version they're stuck with? How long before that bullpen completely implodes again? Most importantly, which Verlander are they left with for the remainder of that contract? Can Anibal Sanchez remain healthy? They've traded Smyly/Porcello/Fister, lost Scherzer and replaced that with bigger question marks. Bottom line...still the favorite because the Royals haven't done anything yet other than sign Hochevar and Morales. Dyson in the OF over Aoki's probably a wash at best. Eh?

@FakeSportsCentr: Jay Cutler once stole $126 million from the Chicago Bears and didn't see so much as a court summons #CrimingWhileWhite

Could you imagine if Scherzer signed with the White Sox? This board would be bats*** insane Lol

Scherzer is still the large, multicolored-eyed elephant in the room right now.

QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 11, 2014 -> 10:08 AM) If they do land Cueto somehow, they should be the favorite to win the AL. Did they fix their bad bullpen?

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Dec 11, 2014 -> 07:22 AM) That's true and we have zero use for a DH currently, or at least zero use for a $4 million platoon DH. (And he hasn't even hit lefties that well the past two seasons.) Given his age, I'm not ready to declare him a bust, but he might have to break out somewhere else if it happens. I think right now we are at the point that we have to hope another GM believes that. I think one more season of what we got last year, and there is no return at all. Right now, I think he still has value(despite what a certain couple posters believe). I am comfortable gambling that he can be traded and could possibly break out

QUOTE (flavum @ Dec 9, 2014 -> 09:35 PM) Hibbard and Bere weren't teammates, but yeah, 1993 was solid. lol

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Dec 10, 2014 -> 09:45 AM) I just watched four seasons of Prison Break and really enjoyed it until about midway through Season 3. The final season's just not up to par. For whatever reason, it was one of the most popular, if not #1, American t.v. shows in China at that time....every woman in her 20's or 30's knows who Michael Scofield is...and Lincoln Burrows, and even Sucre. Of course, they're always disappointed when I tell them he later came out of the closet. Interesting actor/career. Didn't realize he'd gotten involved in writing screenplays and directing (Stoker). He even went so far as writing them under a false/fake name so they would be divorced from everything he's done as an actor. I think the first time I remember seeing him was a show called Boston Public. Wentworth Miller is Captain Cold in the new Flash series, and his Prison Break brother Dominic Purcell is Heatwave

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Dec 11, 2014 -> 05:58 AM) I was hoping for something like Harper + Zimmerman for Danks + Viciedo fixed that for you

QUOTE (Lemon_44 @ Dec 10, 2014 -> 08:52 PM) Ortiz's first 5 years yielded a 1.3 OWAR, Dayan's is 2.3. Ortiz did take off in year 6 though. Ortiz played 150 fewer games in his first 5 seasons

This is pretty much a criminal act, when a game is won like that. I denounce SEMO and their entire staff for allowing this travesty

Why do the Bulls play so flat at home? Mind boggling.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Dec 10, 2014 -> 04:03 PM) SIU/SEMO game tonight! Good luck to you SIU fans. I think this is the final game in the Saluki/Ohio Valley Conference tournament.

Anyone following the Sony hack? So much egg on Sonys face, from the leak of movies like Fury and Annie, to ripping Angelie Jolie and Adam Sandler, the internal anger over the Spider-Man franchise and direction(as well as negotiations with Marvel). Every day something new

So the Knicks are absolutely terrible, and they all hate each other, and Melo wants to beat up Tim Hardaway because he shoots too much and doesnt play much defense, which the rest of the team also accuses Melo of(irony alert) full disclosure, this post is chock full o'SAUCES!!!! http://deadspin.com/report-the-knicks-all-...ther-1669314378

QUOTE (pittshoganerkoff @ Dec 10, 2014 -> 09:20 AM) A lot of negative talk in this thread. We'll never get this thread to 10 pages to enusre the deal happens if this keeps up. We need to get creative and think of something the Sox can offer Tampa Bay to make this a reality. The weather is out...they're not going to want a month of Chicago weather. Crime rate is out, too. Maybe we send them Hawk? Thats right. Keep it on point

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Dec 10, 2014 -> 09:01 AM) OPS is an advanced stat in the same way that a tuxedo t-shirt is formal dinner wear. Wait, its not?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 10, 2014 -> 09:11 AM) [peels off Eric Patterson name plate]

Maybe the ghost of Chuck Lamarr has taken over Tampa Bay's front office. If so, then the Sox could probably send over the rights to Paul Konerko for Longoria
