QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jul 12, 2011 -> 01:57 PM) If this is true, that's pretty f'n sad. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-20...-fear-life.html I'll never understand the automatic lynchmob mentality that forms in some people's heads.

Its really too bad this thread got going again. It had really hit a nice breaking point. Instead it will probably end up getting people in trouble.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jul 13, 2011 -> 06:49 AM) On guys like Steeg, Eager, Niemi, Sopel, Burish etc. your right.. though I still think they could of kept Ladd. How? The Hawks ended up still having to use the Rockford Shuttle to keep the payroll within 20,000 or so of the cap IIRC.

Unless you try it you never know.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 12, 2011 -> 06:09 PM) Would it help if they worked for Newscorp? These guys are targeting the military industrial complex, so they are cool.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 12, 2011 -> 06:08 PM) If their fanbase isn't completely f***ed already then one division title run isn't going to make the difference. Have you seen their crowds lately? They played to a sellout over the weekend.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 12, 2011 -> 03:56 PM) Brewers opening day payroll the year they traded for captain cheeseburger: $81 million. Pittsburgh's opening day payroll this year: $45 million. Even if they now have a little bit extra in the budget...they NEED to go with the long term plan. Deviating from it would be suicidal. If they throw a way literally a once in a generation chance, they are completely f***ed with the fan base.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 12, 2011 -> 03:47 PM) If Pittsburgh's GM paid a price in prospects for John Danks he should be fired on the spot. Milwaukee did it a couple of years back for Sabathia. Its not a crazy idea.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jul 12, 2011 -> 03:36 PM) Cantor: Dishonest POS or idiot? More the Blago defense huh.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 12, 2011 -> 03:25 PM) I don't know if this is going to make sense but I'm going to say it anyway. If I were an opposing GM in a pennant race, I wouldn't give up as much to get John Danks as the White Sox's should be asking for him. It depends on who you are. Say you are someone like Pittsburgh who is doing this for the first time since Barry Bonds was clean and skinny, you might be paying more than someone who expects to be here every year.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 12, 2011 -> 02:40 PM) I was just sizing you up. Shh, be careful who you say that around, you might make people uncomfortable.

Quit playin

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 12, 2011 -> 03:03 PM) I'd listen, but I'd demand a very high price. That would be the assumption. You don't dump him for nothing. The idea is to rebuild your system.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 12, 2011 -> 03:00 PM) That also means that Danks is not expected to be on the open market. If continue on our recent trajectory, he should be.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 12, 2011 -> 02:42 PM) I dunno about Danks...Between the fact that he's been hurt this year and the fact that he's struggled this year, I wonder if it isn't entirely possible that we couldn't get fair value for him right now. Edwin Jackson is being described as possibly the best starting pitcher on the market. Stop and think about that for a second in terms of what that means Danks would be work on the open market.
