QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Sep 12, 2014 -> 01:17 PM) Dunn hit into very few double plays in his career so I don't understand your point there. Yup. 100 times in 8280 PAs....Paul Konerko has 282 in 9483....Lexi has 113 in 4312. Loved that article....I already miss the Big Donkey.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Sep 11, 2014 -> 09:46 PM) I think I read he has 4 BB and only 2 K so far this September. Obviously a small sample size, but in twice as many games in August he had only 3 BB and 20 K. This is true. To go a little further and add his 30ABs pre injury (59 total), he had 9Ks and 7BBs compared to 20/3 in 56 ABs. It'd be nice if August was just him knocking the rust off and the pre injury/Sept K/BB rate is who he really is.....The power will come IMO, not too worried about that part.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Sep 11, 2014 -> 10:52 PM) 99.9999 percent chance Eaton never moves from lead off. Don't get me wrong here, I love Eaton as the leadoff hitter, but if he keeps hitting this well w/RISP and Micah is the impact guy I hope he is, then I think it's at the very least an interesting idea. Would they bat the 2 back to back? Where would you hit Micah?

I've been pondering an "out there" idea that I wanna run by you guys to see whether I'm crazy or not..... Adam Eaton has been really really good with runners on. He's hitting .344/.429/.446 with runners on and an even better .378/.458/.476 w/RISP....So with that said, and the Sox seemingly being high on Micah Johnson, who is also a LH leadoff type guy, am I crazy for wanting to see Micah-?-Eaton-Abreu at the top of the order?? Semien might be a nice #2 if they throw him out in LF or trade Lexi. Russell Martin, who has decent speed, would also be real nice.

Vereen vs Minny J. Bell vs Carolina P. Thomas vs Cleveland Jackson vs Mia West vs Nola It's a 2 flex PPR league...Need 2 starters and a flex....Would you start a 4th guy over Golden Tate vs Carolina?

Peavy has been really good since being traded. Guys think that's just him playing in the NL or does he still have some life left?? I wouldn't mind bringing him back for a year or 2.

It's a real interesting question and one that's really tough to answer. I think if the plan is to win in 2015 I'd probably add a guy like Janssen or Robertson if he somehow doesn't get resigned. If they have eyes on 2016 as a more realistic time to win then I'd have no probably going with Petricka for a full year.

QUOTE (Brian @ Sep 11, 2014 -> 04:35 PM) RIP scs RIP?? I love it.... What I don't love is changing KENTAs name.....

Has there been any clarification as to whether or not Bassitt can/will pitch? I remember people saying he couldn't because of being called up but I'm not sure that was confirmed nor has there been a replacement named.

Really think the best thing to do with Danks is to continue to start him(If they can't trade him in the winter). The longer you keep him the less you'd have to chip into a trade and the more you can potentially get back. No one will agree with this, but I still think there's a chance he can be a quality starter. Not 14.5 million dollar good but mid season he'll be owed ~21M dollars and if the Sox pitch in half that I don't think they should have any problems trading him and might be able to get back a Nolan Sanburn type live arm in return.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 11, 2014 -> 03:29 PM) SUCK IT OAKLAND! They took 3 of 4....Still pretty sweet for those of us who still wanna see them win,

Poor A's lol.

Dat DP tho....

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Sep 10, 2014 -> 10:53 PM) I'm liking what I see from Bassitt. I'm with you....I'm not real sure they're actually doing it, but ESPN has the Sox using a 6 man rotation, and I hope they move away from it....We've seen enough of Carroll, gimme a 5 man so Bassitt gets that 1 extra start.

The Hound!!! Avi!!! Bullpen!!! f*** Brad Pitt!!! Winner Thread!!!! Not a Whiner Thread!!!!

You win!

I'm always the guy who has to come in and keep tradition alive. Bassitt on the bump squaring off against future Sox Jeff Samarditjeaga...Or somethin like that.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Sep 10, 2014 -> 02:11 PM) It's WPA. If the Bears get a first down there, they can continue on towards trying to score a touchdown which would have sealed the game. Instead, it stalled the drive and forced a 4th down, where the Bears tied it up. I guess...But I wouldn't use that as an argument as to why Jay sucks. Really not sure who to pin that first INT on either because idk what the play call was. The pick to Williams I won't argue to much, but if I was a QB and saw my TE with his arms in the air while I'm scrambling I'd probably make that play as well. But I'm not an nfl QB sooo ya.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Sep 10, 2014 -> 02:02 PM) Jay Cutler actually had 3 of the 6 plays that hurt his team the most according to Win Percentage Added. The two picks plus the incomplete pass to Holmes on the 3rd down of the final drive in regulation. EDIT: I'm an idiot, I knew someone would mention it and you did yourself. I'm not sure how the Holmes play, where he slipped out of his break, can be in that conversation while neither of McCowns picks made the list.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 9, 2014 -> 10:43 PM) I hope Micah is as good as Hawk says. Is he? He'll be ready next April, right?? I know he made a boneheaded mistake today, but Sanchez hasn't been that bad this year...And he just turned 22 a few months ago. Even if Micah isn't ready he seems like a capable stop gap. And Semien, though I'm not as high on him as others here, fits that same bill as well.

Quality start!! =p John continue to pitch "well" against good teams.

If you had a crystal ball and could tell me that Kemps 2nd half is for realsies I'd do it. He's been reallly good in the 2nd half, .308/.381/.586 ......I'd have to think long and hard if they offered to take Danks and threw us ~20M.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 9, 2014 -> 08:32 PM) There's a decent chance Semien is traded this offseason, IMO. Yup, I believe so too.

Have a day Marcus...
