Throwing a sidebar out there, I would bet on Morel being a White Sox for the longest period of time.

Now the liberals can't even get along? What is the world coming to???

Great idea for horror fans.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Oct 18, 2010 -> 06:20 AM) Barret Loux, who was the 6th overall pick by the Dbacks this year who ended up not signing and was actually made a FA (he failed his physical with a torn labrum and elbow problems) has thrown in front of scouts recently and is taking offers. I haven't read anything talking about how he threw or his recovery time, but the Sox were not one of the teams in attendance. Still, I always like the idea of getting in quality arms and Loux had some nice upside (even though he should have never been taken 6th overall). Loux was a stud at Texas A&M. Edit: It sounds like scouts generally came away impressed with his throwing session. http://mlb.mlb.com/video/play.jsp?topic_id...tent_id=7243405 (Scouting Report - Pre Draft) It is pretty accepted knowledge that the Sox liked his tools, but his injury history made him a no-go. There was a segment that is attributed to being Loux during The Show.

I am going with Gordo. He just exudes baseball player.

Exacting plastic surgery could be involved.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Oct 17, 2010 -> 06:24 PM) If it is the strenth of the team, why do you look to weaken it? I'm not sold on the other parts of the rotation. Buerhle finished the season very average and has been average at best the second half of seasons recenty. Peavy is a question mark. Freddy Garcia may or may not come back and really do you think its a lock he can give you what he gave you in 2010? Floyd has had 2 very similar seasons when he's only been above mediocre for 2 of 6 months and finished hurt. Edwin Jackson seems like he could be pretty good. He also could be pretty bad. The strength of the starting rotation is John Danks. He's the surest thing. Sale was great in shorts spurts. Is he ready for a full time starter role? Its not an obvious yes. Teams trying to win don't trade away their best players. Can you name any teams that traded away their best starter and got better the next season? Pitching and defense is the more boring path to baseball, but it is the winning path. When the Sox won the WS, they lost their best hitter for most of the year and he was a shell of his former self when he did play but really it was home run or bust. He was replaced with a pretty average guy. Frank Thomas and Carl Everett. You weaken it because you can make the team better overall, better than if you traded anyone else because of the haul you would get for him. And I know the whole point of this is so that when someone gets dealt, you still get to call the team cheap as usual.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Oct 17, 2010 -> 04:50 PM) Yeah, its really weird seeing Eric Stoltz lean forward past Crispin Glover in the diner scene It was bizarro. I can't even imagine anyone else doing it, even when seeing it. Some roles are made for people. That was made for Michael J Fox.

BACK TO THE FUTURE TRILOGY NEXT TUESDAY!!!! Check out what Back to the Future almost was.... Wow. I had no idea anyone other than Fox was ever in that role.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Oct 17, 2010 -> 10:37 AM) But you are forgetting the 2 years of Danks's services when he should be coming towards a peek. This is not a guy to trade. How many ace-like pitchers get traded and what comes back is even better? If the White Sox are in a win mode, dealing perhaps their best starting pitcher is dumb. I am not forgetting that. As a matter of a fact that is exactly why he is at his peak value to other clubs right now. Every bit of time that goes by lessens that value, because the team that trades for him will receive less time of Danks. You have to admit that starting pitching is the biggest strength of this team right now. It is also the thing that teams will pay the most to get. Its also dumb to be in win-now mode when you aren't looking for a way to get quality players to fill your biggest holes.

Can't be nearly as hard to get as the hotties either.

Zero chance of you not approving.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Oct 17, 2010 -> 09:40 AM) i think the Mets and K-Rod are working on a settlement. That would basically make him a free agent, correct? Yes

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Oct 17, 2010 -> 09:31 AM) Well if Mr. #3 starter thinks he's too good to sign an extension then what would you suggest we do? He's still under control for two more years and this would be the best time to trade him if you choose to go that route. Give me a 24-year old athletic, multiple tool CF over a #3 (though a really good one) any day. If the choice is that, or a couple of draft picks, I take the CFer on the verge.

Interesting follow up on the Perrea story http://www.post-trib.com/sports/2808914,mhutton-1017.article

XL rated club on the south side.

QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ Oct 16, 2010 -> 09:38 PM) Ok, thanks, so do you know when it begins? I think it is right after the World Series.

Very smart time to start recruiting for the new workplace! Oh wait, wrong side. Nevermind.

The goal that was waved off was a monumentally bad call. That is all.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Oct 16, 2010 -> 06:53 PM) This is exactly what I was afraid of. Getting kicked in the teeth. Is that Michigan or Ohio State you were referring to?

So, just like any other day really.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Oct 16, 2010 -> 08:40 PM) yea, the facebook rants are about as priceless. I have to say, if I was to cull my facebook herd, Keith would be one of the last to go, if only for the entertainment value.

QUOTE (Brian @ Oct 16, 2010 -> 06:52 PM) You shoudl of gotten the role, not William Shatner. s*** my Keith says...

Oh right, like you needed help.
