QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 1, 2014 -> 10:36 AM) Why can Melo make more on the max than him? They have the same years of service. There is a difference between Max with your own team, and max with a new team.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 1, 2014 -> 11:06 AM) Technically, I'd argue that Viciedo was worth the investment. At $10 million, he was worth every penny.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 1, 2014 -> 10:02 AM) Felipe Paulino. Aaand there goes the thread

Good luck Jim!

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 1, 2014 -> 09:46 AM) My understanding is the Bulls are going to pitch multiple offers, including the fact that their plan A is to get Knicks to agree to S&T and under that capacity, I believe there are scenarios we can offer him ~$20M (without trading Boozer) while keeping Taj and Jimmy Butler. Question is will Knicks do it. I think the gist of everything is Bulls are going to land out multiple scenarios, however, I think the only way Melo comes is through a S&T. By far the best way for him to come to Chicago is a S&T with Boozer and picks.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 1, 2014 -> 08:27 AM) Thats not the whole thing, it is basically "If you want all the money, we have to work out a S&T and include Taj, if you want Taj to stay then you will have to take less" Exactly, which makes perfect sense. If he leaves NYC, it is because he wants to win. What good does it to him to leave to a stripped down team?

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jul 1, 2014 -> 08:10 AM) Cowley is reporting that barring a S&T, the Bulls pitch to Carmelo will be to take $15 million so that they can keep Taj. I have been pretty supportive of GarPax this offseason. They should be fired if keeping Taj Gibson impedes them landing Anthony. Why do we overrate players so bad? It's f***ing Taj Gibson. Who cares. Get Melo his $20 million and do whatever it takes. Figure out the rest later. Its not about overrating Taj, it is about offering Anthony the best possible supporting cast. I'd bet if Melo said I want $20 million, they trade Taj and make room.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 1, 2014 -> 08:31 AM) If he's 19, he could quite easily be 4-5 years away. Half a decade would be 24, which is still a pretty young age to hit the majors.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 30, 2014 -> 11:20 PM) http://obstructedview.net/commentary-and-a...-and-video.html Their entire budget for international would have to go to this guy, but it might be worth it. He's exactly the kind of dynamic athletic talent we need on the infield, especially if he can play 3B. Seems he's become more of a middle infielder (SS/2B), but the idea he could play 3B, combined with that level of speed and athleticism...well, obviously Jose Abreu's going to be intimately involved in the entire process of the White Sox going after him. Would be another great option to go along with Timmy Anderson at SS. Have Abreu personally bring his former teammate a check for $5 million. Only the Marlins and Astros can outbid us, right? Forget Ynoa. Anyone could outbid us if they are willing to go over their international budget.

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Jun 30, 2014 -> 07:32 PM) Lol, I read somewhere that LeBron is just trolling teams into thinking they can obtain his services so they have to gut their rosters to create max cap space, then he'll quickly re-sign with the Heat at a huge discount so they can pick up the best players that were let go...I know that scenario is highly unlikely but I thought that was funny. Hell I would have a hard time trusting the guy after 2010.

Curt Bloom ‏@CurtBloom4 2m @jaredCmitchell hits an inside the park homer, t5 @ Chattanooga. First since 2007 Shawn Garrett.

I guess it could be worse. Candace Buckner ‏@CandaceDBuckner 24m Per several sources, #Pacers will roll out the star treatment for Lance, & has even produced a movie in his honor to be shown after midnight

Now that sucks. Talk about a dude that was seemingly on the verge of a breakout season. I wonder how bad it is?

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jun 30, 2014 -> 02:42 PM) Oh Bruce Chen http://deadspin.com/royals-pitchers-get-ca...dium=socialflow Come on lady, no one scores on Bruce Chen.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jun 30, 2014 -> 03:37 PM) Rise won't be there? But I am sure Reggie will spend the whole meeting pounding on the doors, to let him in..

QUOTE (scs787 @ Jun 30, 2014 -> 02:01 PM) Pau Gasol is said to be visiting the Bulls....Not sure what to think of this....I suppose if they have to trade Taj for Melo he'd make some sense.. Now we see what happens if all else fails. We get Gasol five years too late.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Jun 30, 2014 -> 12:05 PM) If fathom started this game thread would anyone say anything? Ha. I do the same thing.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 30, 2014 -> 02:17 PM) I'm no hitting coach, but it's pretty obvious he tries to blast the ball as far as he can every time to the plate. He never adjusts to the count. He swings as hard as he can and has connected only nine times. He'll probably wind up with 18-20 homers and hit .240. That's not very valuable. Get rid of him. He did his best work earlier this year when he was shorter and looking to right-center. He stayed on the ball much longer, and it showed.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Jun 30, 2014 -> 01:41 PM) I wouldn't. Not in a million years.
