QUOTE (JPN366 @ May 18, 2011 -> 12:22 AM) McPherson will have to be DFA'd and will not clear waivers, thus losing depth at AAA. Has the opinion of him changed that much in six weeks that he went from not even getting a spring training invite to being claimed for a 25 man roster somewhere?

QUOTE (JorgeFabregas @ May 18, 2011 -> 12:51 AM) I remember that half season that Curry was good with the Bulls. That was actually pretty fun. Wrong thread. Eh, Eddy is doing about as much work as the NFLers right now, so it is all good.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ May 17, 2011 -> 05:39 PM) f*** man, whatever. There is obviously not going to be any meaningful discussion here. You keep right on waiting patiently and making no necessary changes. I think that's the problem. Complaining about the same things over and over again isn't really meaningful discussion either.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 17, 2011 -> 05:47 PM) There's no guarantee that D1 winds up with the Yankees. Not given the other names on the market after 2012. As of today, they sure are the best fit for Danks.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 17, 2011 -> 08:25 PM) Floyd And Humber to flip rotation spots. Floyd will pitch thursday on normal rest, Humber Friday on extra rest Which means Gavin's ankle must be OK. That is good news.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 18, 2011 -> 07:37 AM) At this point, I really do what to see what the Stealth Elf can do with more AB's. He's done nothing but produce in the bigs for the last 2 years as a backup. The problem is that the more often he has played, the less he has produced. IMO he has utilityman written all over him.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ May 17, 2011 -> 11:08 PM) Quentin isn't a free agent. Buehrle and Jackson are likely to be Type B free agents, and odds are very good that the Sox will offer arbitration to both of them. Unless Buehrle does the time warp again, I can't see us risking him at $14 million or so a year.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ May 18, 2011 -> 12:31 AM) Just saw Morel's homer now. He looked like he had a little bit of confidence in that swing, which is a good sign. Hopefully he starts busting out of his shell a little bit and is a bit more aggressive at the plate. I don't think it is any coincidence that his offense is turning around after his defense is.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ May 17, 2011 -> 06:04 PM) In order to win 85 games this year, a hopeful estimate for how many wins it will take to finish at the top of this division, the Sox will have to play at a .567 clip for the rest of the year. Say they go on just one more 5-game losing streak, that jumps up to about a necessary .600 clip for the remainder of the year. The basic point here is that we need to start playing very well and very soon. Dallas McPherson and Juan Pierre are much less likely to help in that endeavor than Dayan Viciedo and, well...anyone. FWIW, that is pretty close to the 7-5 we have played in our last 12 games. (.583)

QUOTE (chw42 @ May 17, 2011 -> 11:36 PM) Well, if I have a choice in voting for Santos. You don't have a choice.

OH-WE-OH SERGIO!

QUOTE (zenryan @ May 17, 2011 -> 04:52 PM) then you should also realize that odds are against Hester being more financially sound than people on this board when he gets in his 40s. I'd place money on it.

Big Jim is singing the anthem at Bulls games for the rest of their season.

If anyone should thank God for football...

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ May 17, 2011 -> 02:20 PM) I don't get you people anymore. Ozzie and KW could piss in some of your faces and you'd excuse them. And there would be people b****ing no matter what they did. I don't get it either honestly.

One thing that will be certian is that draft picks will become a lot more valuable if the cap is that low.

Yeah it figures. We should give it back to England.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ May 17, 2011 -> 01:49 PM) I expected some ridiculous responses when I opened this thread but was surprised to see where some of them were coming from. Teahen is going to be back in 10 days. Teahen backs up at 3B and 1B. Morel and Vizquel are going to be getting probably at least 8 of the next 10 starts at 3B. THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH VICIEDO. The Viciedo argument would be to replace Pierre, which I'm not going to even attempt to argue would be wrong, but this is a completely separate move. Getting mad over this is ridiculous. Calling up Dayan to sit the bench and get 10 at bats would have been pointless. I'm not a big fan of the move, but I didn't even catch that three of the rants were from the same person.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 17, 2011 -> 01:40 PM) Maybe this will mean Morel moves back to getting regular playing time. With another 3B on the roster? It seems like this is a tryout for Dallas to see if he can take Brent's job to me. I'm guessing Omar starts the lionshare.

Weird for sure.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ May 17, 2011 -> 01:10 PM) I don't disagree and it is a negotiation, but still, I was blown away that the owners were going to be starting that low. The bright side is Miami would be screwed. They owe over $20 million each to the Big Three even in 2015-2016.

Wow. I didn't see that one coming. I guess we should have known by what Ozzie said yesterday.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ May 17, 2011 -> 01:24 PM) Why is it always one thing or another on this site? It is obvious, and I mean plain as day, that it's both the pitcher and AJ. The pitchers do a terrible job of holding guys and most of them have slow deliveries, but AJ is just f***ing terrible. 1.5 seconds to home plate is murder for a catcher. Despite your temper, that is the truth.

Anyone know what is on fire on the west side of Chicago? You can see black smoke rising up just south of the Ike a few miles outside of downtown. It past Rush Hospital to the west and little more south.
