QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Apr 27, 2016 -> 04:24 PM) I'm not advocating for a Freeman trade, because I think the cost to acquire would be too much, but Freeman is definitely worth his contract. He's been worth an average of 4.2 WAR over the past three seasons. He's only 26 years old, is he a "hero" just because he got a big contract? Even this year, he has a career high walk rate, and though his strikeout rate is high, he has a 4.5% HR/FB rate, which is 10% lower than his career rate. He's hitting way more flyballs this year than usual, so if that HR/FB rate was at his career norm his batting line this year would look pretty good. He's a great hitter. That is an awful lot of money for a fairly young guy to come here and be a DH. He isn't taking Jose's job.

QUOTE (maxjusttyped @ Apr 27, 2016 -> 04:16 PM) ZIPS has the White Sox finishing with the best record in the American League. It gives us a 75% chance of either winning the division or making the play-in game. https://twitter.com/DSzymborski/status/725432328462450689 That is by far the lowest odds I have seen for Cleveland, and the highest for the Royals.

QUOTE (knightni @ Apr 27, 2016 -> 01:59 PM) In my personal opinion, Zootopia is the best Disney and/or Pixar film made in the last 10 years. Easily 4.5 out of 5 stars. Totally agree. I loved it.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 27, 2016 -> 02:18 PM) Whatsup with Turner? They just gonna pay him 1.5million to pitch in Charlotte? Hopefully, as it would mean that John Danks is fine.

QUOTE (God Loves The Infantry @ Apr 27, 2016 -> 02:18 PM) Ugh. We have the best bullpen in baseball right now. Why would we put this dumpster fire in it? Bring up Shuck or Coats. We need more than a three man bench. What we don't need is a reliever who can't throw strikes and has been horrible for his entire career minus 2013. I guess he's getting a chance because he's allowed no walks in 10 innings this year. I don't think that'll continue, so I hope he's kept far away from any amount of "leverage" at all. He's the garbage man. If Danks is trash, Webb will come take it out. He isn't going to see important work without some serious proving of himself.

QUOTE (The Gooch @ Apr 27, 2016 -> 01:38 PM) Yeah I have done that before as well, just didn't remember where they place the Military scene. I think I enjoyed the chronological order more, but I also think if you are watching it for the first time that you should watch it in the order it was released. It was the second to last scene, right before the very end of the movie with Michael looking old and sitting in his chair alone silently pondering.

QUOTE (The Gooch @ Apr 27, 2016 -> 01:29 PM) Did they put that scene at the end of 2 or 3? I think that one has to be out of order because there isn't anything else that takes place in the movies for years after that, and its such a show scene it would look out of place doing that and then skipping to the first Godfather movie (after the early Vito years ofcourse). I watched it as one long 7 hour movie (watched it over the course of a couple of days). There was no distinction between the movies, only the scenes put into chronological order.,

Anyone else watch the remake of the Godfather done in chronological order? It was pretty cool to see it done that way. There was one scene at the end that was out of order, when Michael tells the family he is going the military, but other than that I was impressed.

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ Apr 27, 2016 -> 12:19 PM) Whens the last time MLB players "speculated" about one of their own using, and they were loose lipped enough (or the speculation was pervasive enough) to make it to the media? Why does it matter? Speculation isn't evidence of anything.

Daryl Van Schouwen ‏@CST_soxvan 13m13 minutes ago #WhiteSox attempt for sweep tonight at Rogers Centre is tall task. No team has swept Jays here since 2013.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Apr 27, 2016 -> 12:10 PM) Is he really any better than Danks/Gonzalez/Johnson/Turner/Carroll at this point in his career? He's someone worth keeping an eye on. If he turns out to have something back after his rehab, the Sox should actually have the cash to bid for him.

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ Apr 27, 2016 -> 12:09 PM) There's plenty of basis to suspect Jake Arrieta, now we have concrete people within baseball willing to corroborate what many have suspected for about a year now. You keep using that word, I do not mean what you think it means. Corroborate would mean that more than one person witnessed something, and are telling the same stories. We don't have that going on in this case. The word you are looking for is "speculate".

I prefer my speculation with some sort of basis, even if it is a Cub.

I am sure we are talking to teams as we speak. Realistically, any deals won't come until after Memorial Day, at the earliest.
