QUOTE (flavum @ May 8, 2014 -> 03:27 PM) And he's wrong. He is also very obviously cheerleading his own guy. People read way too much into stuff like this.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ May 8, 2014 -> 01:32 PM) The math isn't that simple. It is more like... take $2M now (low 1st round pick), or live in Haiti for a year (with little chance to keep up your competitive chops) to perhaps get $5M, but also possibly get the same or less, while having to do your rehab in a country that lacks the type of facilites you'd have here. And in both cases, to have basically the same shot at more money later as a major leaguer. I'm not sure I'd take that chance going to ANY country, but sure as heck not Haiti. To wit... Yeah, if he can do it in the Bahamas, he could get better care, and be less at risk to his person. That's different calculus. I disagree there. He could make $5 million if he was just in the normal draft. IF he can prove he is healthy and IF he can prove he still has his stuff, his value goes WAY up if every single team has the ability to bid on him, without the restrictions that the draft places on players contracts. I'd bet the bidding would start at least at $20 million, and would go up from there.

Hey Hawk, there's this guy named Troy Tulowitzki that plays SS for the Rockies. Remember, you were there about a month ago? He was talking about this last night during the game, and gave Tulo lots of props for what he has done at the plate. His point was that when you factor in defense too, Alexei is having the best year in his eyes.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ May 8, 2014 -> 01:19 PM) I just want to point out the insanity here, even though I like Badler. Move to Haiti for a year? Has be BEEN to Haiti? Because I have. That's a ridiculous idea. If you could move to Haiti for a year and have decent odds at winning a powerball jackpot when you got back, would that change your mind? That is the kid of money that could be talked about if a potential #1 draft pick were a free agent.

QUOTE (sammy esposito @ May 8, 2014 -> 12:50 PM) We didn't have 5 good starters to begin the season and with failure by some who were sent down. Our bullpen has been coming into the game in the 3rd inning not the sixth. What is the stat for quality starts by our staff and total amount of inning pitched compared to other teams with more quality starts. We're doing damn good with the relievers pitching so much of the game. White Sox have 18 QS, tied for 13th in MLB.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ May 8, 2014 -> 12:08 PM) I never fell for his act. You can see by my post I am no fan of his nonsense as some in this thread are. Reading what you think about his fandom, you fell for his act.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 8, 2014 -> 12:12 PM) No, just pointing out that Gordon Beckham isn't going to hit .170. Just pointing out after 3 innings allowing 1 hit, that John Danks isn't throwing straight 88 mph fastballs to everyone. Those are facts. What you said I posted was not. This is a White Sox message board. Too bad pulling for White Sox players to do well and pointing out when they are when others are saying they are so bad is now considered trolling. Either copy and paste what you said I posted here, or just say you were wrong. It really isn't hard. I didn't think so. Keep on trollin'!

QUOTE (raBBit @ May 8, 2014 -> 12:12 PM) http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/mlb/news/...cago-white-sox/ How teams overstated Abreu's lack of bat speed to drive down the price. Very interesting. Thanks for posting.

QUOTE (bmags @ May 8, 2014 -> 12:06 PM) Would really like another Rondon. The crazy thing is that he is 5/6 years older than most of the kids being talked about here.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ May 8, 2014 -> 11:31 AM) He says he is yet rips Sox every chance he gets. His comments on the radio all these years would say otherwise, he may have grew up one as a kid as a adult he is hardly a Sox fan. He isn't a fan of anyone but his ratings. He is a highly paid troll that makes money off of upsetting people into calling his show to listen to what stupid thing gets said next. Don't fall for the act.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 8, 2014 -> 11:36 AM) Why don't you just admit you were wrong? Be a man. I haven't made one thing up. You did, and then after making it up, tried insulting me. I was just pointing out the obvious incorrect posts last night. Even today, Danks had no movement, was afraid to throw his change up, blah blah blah. You don't point out the lunacy of that. A guy supposedly throwing a straight 88 mph fastball with nothing else doesn't strike out 8, walk one, with a quality start even if it is just the Cubs. There isn't a guy in A ball that couldn't tee off on what Danks supposedly had. I love the ADMIT IT post. One minute you were calling me a stalker for referring to your post, but then are all too happy to point out it was wrong. So which is it? And on a related note, the only reason you are posting any of this stuff is to get a rise out of people. ADMIT IT! It is the same thing with the Gordon Beckham stuff, or any of the rest of it. ADMIT IT ADMIT IT!

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 8, 2014 -> 10:51 AM) You are the one trolling, and a personal attack, comparing me to Bernstein by making things up. Why don't you find where I posted what you claimed. I will give you a hint, it doesn't exist. Find it or admit you are the one just trolling. lol, you are trolling the hell out of this thread, and the game thread last night. The whole Danks circular stuff is completely obvious. The only reason you were in the game thread last night, and the board today, is to slap people over Danks performance. It takes about two seconds of reading to see that.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ May 8, 2014 -> 10:59 AM) NFL Draft is tonight....That is all f*** the NFL draft, there is baseball on.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 8, 2014 -> 10:42 AM) Wrong again. I never commented on Noesi's performance, but I am flattered you are so obsessed with my posts. That doesn't make any sense, but OK, sure. Troll on.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 8, 2014 -> 10:39 AM) Yet 8 strikeouts and 1 walk. For a guy with nothing, unwilling to throw his change up and a lack of movement, it is astonishing he was able to do that. Weren't you just yesterday discounting Noesi's performance because it was against the Cubs? You are Bernsteining things up today.

Paul Coro ‏@paulcoro 16m Jamal Crawford (421 pts) edged Taj Gibson (395) for the Sixth Man Award. Manu Ginobili (138) & #Suns PF Markieff Morris (85) were 3rd & 4th.

QUOTE (Tex @ May 8, 2014 -> 10:14 AM) Not just no, NOWAYONGODSGREENEARTHOHHELLNOf***INGWAY will I do that. SS, I don't even want you to post pictures after you do that on FB, because I moght accidentaly see them and crap my pants. I've got pics from the SkyDeck on my FB page. I also did the CN tower in TOR on my honeymoon. They have a glass ring that runs through the floor where you can see all of the way to the ground from like 1300 feet up. Also road the roller coaster on top of the Statosphere in Vegas. I love heights.

I looked at the Sox rankings in some pitching categories on April 29, and the changes in the last week or so are pretty crazy in some areas. Overall ERA now 4.49 now ranked 26th in MLB, was 28th Starter ERA now 4.96, 28th, was 28th Reliever ERA now 3.71, 14th, was 26th K's now 232, 28th, was 28th BB's now 152, 30th, was 30th (closest is TOR at 135) Hits now 305, 23rd, was 28th WP now 23, 30th, was 29th HR against now 24, 4th, was 6th
