QUOTE (Jake @ Jun 9, 2012 -> 06:50 PM) I hope to god we don't f*** another guy (Quintana) by putting him in the pen for no reason Thank you....If they bring up anyone for Stewart its gotta be Bruney. Stewart is a long reliever guys, a mop up guy...mop up guys come in when the games out of reach, if he gives up a few runs it wont matter, like todays game. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_reliever

I remember hearing all year that CJ could be a starting PG for a lot of other teams. He's only a backup on the Bulls because he's behind DRose. I also said a package deal with Korver/Brewer and future picks. Hell theres been Nicolus Batum for the 7th pick rumors out there...It's all a pipe dream regardless More realistic though is getting one of their 4 picks for CJ then maybe trading up.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jun 9, 2012 -> 11:33 AM) I'm not saying this would happen, but I'd like us to get a starting five that looks like this: PG - Derrick SG - Kobe SF - Durant PF - Taj (f*** you Boozer!) C - Dwight Howard /green /allbullsfans Kobes old, give me Lebron.

GS wants CJ back, they dont want 4 draft picks.. what are the odds the bulls can put a package together involving CJ as the main piece for the #7?? Then package up Deng for the #2???

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jun 8, 2012 -> 02:31 PM) 2nd City, Its my belief if Boozer had value hed be gone. The guy is getting 15mil each of the next 3 years and he is not worth it. Hes overpaid and an injury waiting to happen, who wants to invest 45mil in that? Balta, Why would Cleveland take Deng instead of Gilchrist or Barnes? If these guys are better than Deng and younger, why wouldnt Cleveland want them? Now sure, after Gilchrist/Barnes, Deng is probably better than Lamb, etc. But then its a lateral move for the Bulls. I just dont see how the Bulls get a younger better player out of a Deng trade. That may be but like some, maybe it was you, have said the future of the Bulls financially is turrable. If they can make a lateral move talent wise that helps them greatly financial wise that'd be a much needed plus. Your Boozer thoughts do make sense...maybe they've been asking for too much??

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jun 8, 2012 -> 02:08 PM) Nope. (imo) The only thing that would get the Bulls a top 5 pick is some deal with Taj plus this years first and the Bobcats first. Even then Im not convinced. Boozer has negative value. I wouldn't go that far, hes still a 19.8 PER player. I think they could get something for him if you package him with other picks/players. I hear Charlotte wants to trade down because they need a ton of talent on that team, we've got some expendable talent.

Anyone think Boozer can be traded for a lottery pick? Boozer and Watson to the Bobcats for #2...Deng and pieces for Pau? Dengs only 27??? Seems like hes been around forever!

QUOTE (The Critic @ Jun 7, 2012 -> 06:22 PM) AJ (Lee, although they dropped her surname), onscreen girlfriend of Daniel Bryan....or CM Punk....or Kane..... Wow how that got past me ill never know hahaha I loves me some AJ as well. The last couple weeks shes looked even more fantastic than usual.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 7, 2012 -> 04:50 PM) Who the hell dropped Bryce Harper in your league? That's just bad... My league is full of stoners...nuff said He was dropped for Morse so maybe he was misinformed and thought he was goin down?? He's the guy who also dropped Casilla. Also Zobrist has been garbage this year.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jun 4, 2012 -> 05:17 PM) I have a feeling Vince is getting ready to start plucking some of the unhappy and buried talent from TNA and watch them go belly up under Bischoff and Hogan. Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin are both supposed to be on their way. I was discussing this with my cousin the other day, with the success of Bryan and Punk are having I'd be shocked if smaller guys like Shelley and Sabin who have all the talent in the world wouldn't come to the E. Whos the last guy to go from TNA to WWE?? Can Shelley and Sabin still be the Motor City Machine Guns or is TNA gonna have the rights to that name QUOTE (kev211 @ Jun 5, 2012 -> 06:09 PM) I love AJ. Styles? or wrong thread?

QUOTE (knightni @ Jun 5, 2012 -> 08:23 PM) I'd definitely grab Harper if you can get him. Zobrist has the most to offer overall there, but Francoeur has the most offensive potential. Harper cleared waivers and I grabbed him...hes up for good right? He has to be. QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 6, 2012 -> 09:45 AM) I'm guessing it isn't a keeper league if Harper is still out there? I wish it were, I now have Harper, Trout, Cespedes, and Montero, 4 of the top rookies in the game. Next question, you guys think Hosmer is back to the fantasy stud he was last year?? I'm in a league full of sox fans and I have Dunn and can more than likely rape someone in a trade with him....I've already been offered Dickey/Cuddyer for Dunn. Could use Cuddy at 2B with my team bein Bacon or Bust.

In other words I should be seeking work else where...lol BTW thanks for the link, I never woulda found that.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jun 6, 2012 -> 04:27 PM) i am so excited to go to the game tonite. First time in 12 years(yes, you read that right. 12) that i have been to a game at the Cell. The last time I went, Cal Eldred started against the indians, and the Sox won 5-3 behind Thomas and Valentin homers. And some people might remember this: Jim Thome was up to bat for the Indians, and he hit a pop up around third a mile high. Herbert Perry ran to make the catch and tripped and fell flat on his face, and the ball fell foul. Jim Thome hit the next pitch 3/4 the way up the former hideous blue hitters backdrop. By far the longest homerun i have ever seen in person I remember this and I was 13 at the time!

We seem to have a few lawyers on here so I was just wondering what the hold up might be on this job I'm getting whenever the lawsuit is over. http://www.bestchicagocondos.com/blog/trouble-in-river-city/ That explains what the lawsuit is over. Right now they have 2 different security companies there, one for the commercial side (that was there before the suit) and one for the residential side. I worked for the residential side for 5 months and all the guys on the commercial side liked me enough to tell me once the suits over I can work for them. Back in October everyone thought the suit was gonna been done and over with in 2 weeks soooooo I quit the residential side and took a little vacation and expected to come back to work in 2 weeks...welll the suit is still going on and I'm still waiting. I'm sure money is the issue as 15 mill is A LOT of money but what else might be holding it up, how long can a case like this go on? It's been going on for over a year now, it has to come to an end soon right?

I'm lookin to make a trade. I've got a $500 silver and black Trek 4300 bike but there's something wrong with the gears, I took it to a trek shop and they told me itd cost me $150 to fix. I don't have the money to fix it soooo I was wondering if anyone here wants to trade a working bike no matter how old or crummy it is for the trek. I wont be starting work for another few months (unless i find a summer job) and I wanna start riding again. If anyone has a bike thats not being used anymore and wants to help a fellow soxtalker out and just give it to me that too would be greatly appreciated. I'm a fatty and need to get my cardio on lol

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 5, 2012 -> 08:49 PM) Start the Great Zach Stewart debate again! Not the best day for a White Sox fan to have forked over hard-earned money to see a first place Sox team at home. not a hard hit ball in the bunch

Dude in the V neck played rugby for like a week, couldnt handle it...dudes a puss if we lose i blame him....but we wont lose so its moot .

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 4, 2012 -> 11:27 PM) The baseball draft bores me. Call me in 5 years and we'll know if this guy can play. C.J. Henry went No. 15 overall to the Yankees one year and quite possibly might be the worst player in organized baseball history. It only took him 3-4 years to leave the game completely. He was "five tool." Luke Hochevar No. 1 overall? My god. For the first time ever, I agree with you greg...Baseball prospects are darn near impossible to project. The ceiling looks high on these 2 guys but you just never know.

I know its bleacher report but this Ken Rosenbaum guy looks legit, could swear I've heard his name perform. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1202917...ft-class/page/2 He has Keon ranked as the having he most power of any HS and the 5th best 1B in the draft. Wont pretend to know anything about a single player in the draft but from what I read I like both guys. Theres not much power to get excited about in the minors and it looks like these 2 can fill the void.

Im still on the whole potentially getting Pau thing...would the Bobcats want a Boozer for Maggette swap? Theyre missing out on Davis and could be looking at Gilchrist (a SF) with their pick. This not only helps us out by adding an expiring SF to take Dengs place after he's traded for Pau, but it also helps with getting the Bobcats out of that protected area for the pick we own.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 3, 2012 -> 09:03 PM) Is the "WS Contender" factoring in acquiring Youkilis without giving up Floyd, Thornton or Crain? Just taking on salary...or sending prospects their way? The problem is the better Youkilis starts to play, the more likely they are to hold onto him...and Middlebrooks, like all rookies, will go through a down period where a team in a pennant race will be tempted to go with the veteran leader, just like they did with Mike Lowell in the past. With the AL East being such a logjam, this trade becomes less and less likely the better the Red Sox play, especially with all the issues in Boston's outfield offensively. as my post said its factoring in giving up Thornton and prospects. I'm a Santiago fan so I dont think we lose much in using him as your lefty set up guy. Quintana can step in as the lefty long man and the pen wont skip a beat. If Middlebrooks keeps hitting like he is they might not have a choice. Are Jacoby, Crawford and Ross all coming back this year?

Alright so I just acquired Stras, Jhey, and mike aviles (for Pense, M. Young and Latos).. Might sound a little dumb but I dont want Jhey or aviles. I looked at the free agent pool and there's quite a few options at 2B and OF that I like to replace him, but I'm not sure who I wanna take. Harpers on waivers right now, and Im on top of the waiver list buttt I really wanna pick up Santiago Casilla who's also on waivers. Other FAs are Francoeur, Matt Joyce, Ichiro, Zobrist and Morales. I'm leaning towards Frenchie. Who you guys got? Should I take Harper over Casilla as my waiver claim?? Hold on to Jhey??

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 3, 2012 -> 10:41 PM) Wrong thread bro. There is a forum: http://www.soxtalk.com/forums/index.php?showforum=15 Well no s***, i did not know that, thanks. Got a few questions I'd like to get an opinion or 2 on so I guess ill be heading that way right meow.

I wish there was a fantasy baseball thread just so i can talk about how awesome my money league team is... I cant resist!! I just picked up Strasburgh in a trade and S. Casilla on waivers. my pitching is now.. Stras, Gio, Motte,Hanrahan,Casilla,Haren,Gallardo,Lee,Bumgarner, and Hellickson! How dope is that! Its a 1k first prize 12 team league with and a bunch of ex co workeres, I'm the only one in it that no longer works there....I'm gonna really need the money too, I'll be saving money to either fix my car or buy a new one all the way up till the end of the season so itd be nice to throw another 1k down

YES!!
