Q most def should have gone to 3rd there.

Dang

Josh Gordon arrested....Dude needs the Dez Bryant treatment.

Hawk and Stoney talking up Brad Miller a bit....Maybe they know about a potential trade?

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Jul 5, 2014 -> 01:36 PM) 4 isn't bad - but they can find it for a lot cheaper than 14.5 million a year. I doubt that Danks' is the only ERA out there inflated by a few starts. He's not throwing hard and his K rate is low.... Hope you're right though. Lol well the 13 Quality Starts is hard to argue with...again only 9 pitchers in all of baseball have more.

KKKK through 2 for Q.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 5, 2014 -> 11:15 AM) ESPN has Sale, Ramirez, and Petricka making the all-star team... When I was looking at WAR(apparently the crappy kind) today I was dumbfounded to see Jake has the 25th highest of any pitcher. Most of any reliever.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Jul 5, 2014 -> 12:59 PM) How? $34 million owed is an advantage for an ERA of 4? We'll see I guess. Those numbers are extremely inflated by 4 starts....Again in over 75% of his starts he has a 2.45 ERA with a Whip of 1.06. A low 4 era isn't even THAT bad.....It's 73rd among qualified pitchers....I don't think anyone is saying he's gonna net a huge package, but it most certainly should net something decent.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Jul 5, 2014 -> 12:14 PM) Dunn's contract isn't an anchor because there are only 3 months left on it. I would think someone would want him as a PH and platoon DH/1B, but we'd have to eat all of that contract for such limits and platoon player that don't play the field much just have a narrow market. I look at Danks' numbers and I see 4.12, 1.34 and rather modest K numbers. There must be some internal numbers that beef him up a good bit. 13 of his 17 starts are of the quality variety. In those 13 starts he has an ERA of 2.45 and a Whip of 1.06 In his 4 non quality starts he has an ERA of 11.07 So yes, there is def some internal numbers that beefed up his numbers....but over 75% of the time he's been really really good.

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Jul 5, 2014 -> 12:13 PM) That's bWAR, fWAR is better and has him on pace for about 1.5. But which was used in reference to the 5M per point? All I know is the dude has been damn good this year sans 3 or 4 starts. 13 quality starts is a bit to much for me to say he's just been lucky all year.

BTW only 9 pitchers in all of baseball have more quality starts than John Danks. He's on pace for a 3 WAR. Everyone this offseason was talking about how every 1 point of WAR was worth 5M, so he's on pace to earn every bit of that 14M he's making this year.

As Danks biggest fan, I really hope we either A. keep him or B. At least get a near ML ready pitching prospect back.....I really think the Sox are close to contending and that Danks is a 3/4 type pitcher on a contending team.

vs The White Sox look to keep the fireworks going against their ace. Can the Sox help Sale get the AL ERA lead by getting to King Felix??? (Sale-2.16 Felix-2.10) Will Abreu continue his assault on former CY Young award winners?? Will the blood from the Feathered Serpents penis destroy the Sea men?? Discuss

Sans the Trout granny, Sale has a 1.74 ERA this year.....Yes I'm cherry pickin again....Cherries are delicious.

PK! ABREU!! TANK!!! SALE!!!! 'MERICA!!!!!

I like El Hombre...Also liked El Cañón though.

OFFENSE!

Looked like a great catch in real time....just meh in real time. Uh oh warning track shots...

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 4, 2014 -> 06:46 PM) 2 or 3. Mariners are 20-11 VS LH-starters. If it was 2 then that number was doubled today....LoMo and Seager both have hits.

Hawes to the Clippers 4/23....Pretty good grab by them.

dat arm tho...

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 4, 2014 -> 02:16 PM) If love was going to happen it would have happened before the draft. Once the Bulls turned their 2 picks into McDermott, that ship sailed IMO. Those 2 picks were their biggest currency. Disagreed..With Thompson out of the picture I think they could get back in on this with Boozer, Taj/Mirotic, and Butler/Snell/MJD/DMD plus picks.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 4, 2014 -> 01:23 PM) I think a Kevin Martin sort of player would be perfect Swaggy P? (Nick Young for those non cool kids) What is the storyline between Evan Turner and Rose again??? Maybe Thibs'll fix em. Still not giving up on Love yet either. All reports still say GS is refusing to trade Thompson, so I think there's still hope.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jul 4, 2014 -> 12:30 PM) I'm convinced scs is a Bulls spokesperson Ya caught me.... scs = Spokesperson Clark Scott.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jul 4, 2014 -> 11:10 AM) At that price, he is definitely worth the price to be the primarily back-up to both Taj and Jo. The team would definitely be better, but still does not solve the main issue of wing scoring. Maybe McDermott can fill some of the void but you would definitely need another piece. If they don't have to clear Dunleavy's $ then he's another scorer. Still not real sure what to think of Jimmy, and Snell is a bit of a mystery as well but right now those 2 are the SGs with MJD/DMD at SF......Vince Carter makes some sense IMO and I'd still like Augustin back... Rose/Augustin Butler/Carter DMD/MJD Taj/Niko Noah/Gasol That looks like a fun lil team.
