QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Feb 8, 2018 -> 12:30 PM) In fact it is 100% statistical. This is why I have never given it much consideration, as using stats alone to evaluate minor leagues just does not get you anything of value. As part of the picture, sure, stats can be used. But to lean totally on them is asking to be very wrong, very often. About all I like out of it is to see guys I hadn't really noticed before.

QUOTE (TheTruth05 @ Feb 8, 2018 -> 11:29 AM) Adrian Wojnarowski‏Verified account @wojespn Three impactful details on trade for Lakers: They'll have space for two max contract slots in 2018 or 2019, replenish first-round pick in 2018 Draft and gets Lakers some shooting for rest of season with Thomas and Frye. Lebron's a Laker next year lol Thanks DG Kiss the Bulls good bye.

Vincent GoodwillVerified account @vgoodwill Bulls will immediately waive Willie Reed. And have the right to swap second round picks in 2022

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Feb 8, 2018 -> 10:45 AM) Chicago will create a $1.43M trade exception with the Jameer Nelson trade. The Bulls are operating as a team over the salary cap based on their $12.5M (TE) and remaining Mid Level and Bi-Annual Exception. So big trade coming? How long is a trade exception good for? At the end of the day, I doubt a team was willing to give up a pick for Nelson, so getting whatever asset you can for him isn't a bad thing.

KATOH is WAY too stat heavy.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Feb 8, 2018 -> 10:09 AM) Correct, that appears to be consensus. Kiley McDaniel said the other day that he sees him fitting in like an Evan Gattis -- a guy ho finds a spot in the lineup every day but is the second or third catcher. Pretty harsh if you ask me. (yes I know it is a typo)

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Feb 8, 2018 -> 10:15 AM) I can't imagine caring at all about which radio station the Sox are on, so long as the station can be heard clearly during game broadcasts. Literally the only time I turn on AM radio is to find a Blackhawks or White Sox game, or to listen to 780 AM for news. I refuse to listen to sports radio in general, it is almost as bad as political talk radio.

QUOTE (pittshoganerkoff @ Feb 8, 2018 -> 06:06 AM) These guys have every right to get as much money as they can each year. It's not exactly like football players who could suffer a career ending injury at any time, but there are still risks. Plus, if a guy like Avi loses arbitration and ends up tanking, his chances of getting paid afterwards go down. That extra million could make a difference. Look, I get the thought process of "give me $5.85 million and I'd be happier than s***." And like all other professional sports, they are all overpaid. But that doesn't matter. We can't compare what we get paid vs. what they get paid. The players look at what other players are getting paid and base what they expect on that. Teams pay out $80, $100, $200 million a year, and these guys are looking to get their cut. It is just like any industry. No one is going to be happy to be making a fraction of what their co-worker does.
