Desmond turned down QO

Weiters accepted the QO.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Nov 13, 2015 -> 01:05 PM) Weiters just accepted his QO. So scratch him off nearly everyone's catcher wishlist. Taking the one year deal is an interesting gamble in his case. If he rebounds it could be huge. If he gets hurt again, he will really regret leaving money on the table.

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Nov 13, 2015 -> 12:48 PM) We'll need a replacement for Danks, eventually. I'd prefer a full year of starts (hopefully 180-200 innings) to judge whether or not he'll be a suitable replacement, which I believe he will be. EJ has had a solid minor league career and if nothing else, will be a cheap solution at the back end of the rotation. He has more value than many here think. He'll never be a centerpiece of any significant deal. However, if we're trading EJ, we damn well better receive a replacement level player at one of our black holes. It should be someone also low on service time and whom we're able to plug in 3B, SS, 2B for cheap. Replacement for Danks? Sure. That isn't saying much though.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Nov 13, 2015 -> 12:45 PM) In regards to Bulls cap space, I answered my own question. Evidently not that much. Noah and any other free agent leaves and you either trade Taj or Pau opts out. That gives you enough to go max (based upon where the cap is supposed to go). All that said, I don't really think Durant would want to come play here but him and Butler on the wing would be fantastic. I wouldn't waste your time daydreaming about big time free agents coming here.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Nov 13, 2015 -> 12:44 PM) Still better than Samardzija, at a fraction of the cost! Samardjiza won't be nearly that bad next year. 2015 was a fluke based mostly off of bad defense.

QUOTE (TheFutureIsNear @ Nov 13, 2015 -> 12:16 PM) I'll take EJ over Shark next year no problem. I think EJ is going to surprise some people. Not saying Cy Young or anything obviously, but I can definitely see him giving us 200 innings of 3.8-4.2ish era production next year. I see him as a back end starter. 180-200 IP, but more in the 4.25 to 4.75 range.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Nov 13, 2015 -> 12:10 PM) I'm fairly certain, a player like Shaq could be an absolute monster against a team like the Warriors. Problem is, Shaq is one of a kind. Don't worry, soon enough the next guy will come along and the NBA will start chasing that too. This happens every few years in the NBA.

QUOTE (Hatchetman @ Nov 13, 2015 -> 12:01 PM) the problem with this guy is right about the time he figures it out he'll be a free agent. that's why I want to ship him to the minors if possible. We still have 4 more years of control.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Nov 12, 2015 -> 05:19 PM) It's like we are on different planets. KC radio is all over Missouri's letting an activist get away with this. I wouldn't be surprised if the millionaire on the hunger strike was getting fed on the sly. Nobody was watching. I admit I was fooled at first. I thought, "Wow the MU football team is boycotting so a concerned kid won't die." Now it turns out he's a troublemaker and the student president is making up s***. When are Missouri students going to reclaim their university and show some pride and fight back against these troublemakers. Our talk radio is all about this and saying Missouri got played by professional protestor types. Like I said the kid on the hunger strike is an activist and is RICH. No wonder you like Donald Trump. You guys live on the same planet.

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Nov 13, 2015 -> 10:46 AM) You'd be fine with delaying the development of Johnson and effectively limiting one, maybe two, FA signings? We'd all but have to trade Quintana. If you are that worried about Erik Johnson, you are overrating him.,

a overview of Samardjiza's 15 season. http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/whats-up-wi...eff-samardzija/

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Nov 13, 2015 -> 09:58 AM) Shark accepts the QO, Bruce Levine's body literally explodes in confusion And most Sox fan's head will explode in anger.

If I were the Mets between Harvey's injury history and his being a Boras client, I'd do a deal like this in a heartbeat.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Nov 12, 2015 -> 09:33 AM) HF I love Coach Buzea. He coached at our local HS for a few years. Great coach, and awesome to see him blowing up with some big time talent.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Nov 12, 2015 -> 03:36 PM) CarGo is such a weird player. He has some average years, some above average years, and some all-star/MVP years. Or like last year, an awful year. He is due $17M and $20M. Totally worth if it he goes back to his great years, a total sunk cost of he is like he has been the past 2 years. So it's hard to figure if the Rockies are looking for a salary dump move, or are trading him with the idea that he is is more of a 3-4 WAR player. It's hard to even guess on what it may cost to acquire him because I have no idea how the Rockies even view him at this point. I really believe the Sox are going to look to make a big splash with a trade, and then use free agency to fill holes at a much lower level.
