QUOTE (scs787 @ Jul 21, 2014 -> 06:25 PM) Is Coop in charge of game threads?? This game thread was started seconds after this post....You're in my head Cali.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jul 21, 2014 -> 05:46 PM) If he clears waivers, hell yes. Our bullpen is crap and I love me some Sergio. Who's he better than right now? Maybe Taylor Thompson but we just don't know that yet.

A few quotes regarding KENTA.... Really hope they push him correctly. ....And let him use the GTS (Quite a few other moves were jacked by other guys too). They should work a "Japanese spy" angle and say he's watched all these guys moves and mimics them but delivers them better. Since they talk about Rollins/KENTA, here's highlights from their match in RoH

He's got a 4.43 FIP, so he "has a horseshoe up his arse".....Really though I'm not sure he'd have the same success in the Cell as he has in Oakland.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jul 21, 2014 -> 04:08 PM) There's Jameer Nelson. Who shot .001% better than Kirk, was .003% worse from 3, turned the ball over .8 more, and is far worse defensively.....But, he shoots FTs better, so there's that I guess.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 21, 2014 -> 03:26 PM) At some point if you are a contender you have to ask yourself if Dunn for the stretch run is somebody you want to give a ton of at bats to. The answer is Gosh, NO!! There are intangibles in baseball. One is called buzzkill. And you don't want Adam Dunn on your contending team. One of those 1-for-30 slumps will get the fans all hot and bothered and booing your contender. Would any GM risk his reputation on Adam Dunn at this point? I doubt it. Now in the NL as a pinch hitter? I guess maybe. ooooooo Greg....

I'm actually cool with all the RH relievers we have...esp. once Lindstrom and Jones come back.....On a minor league deal though? sure.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jul 21, 2014 -> 02:44 PM) So can other players for the vet min. A guard that can't shoot or pass...it does sound appealing. Kirk had a better TO/AST ratio in Chicago. I'm bringing WAR into this....DJ had a -1.65 WAR, Kirk 2.24

QUOTE (bmags @ Jul 21, 2014 -> 02:43 PM) Kirk was getting paid $4 million last year to shoot 32% from the field and 75% from FT. Please tell me some more great 1-game samples. Precisely why I added "FWIW"...You brought up the 68 point game and I responded that that game wasn't even on him. DJ shot 29% in the playoffs while Kirk shot 41. I'm just gonna say again that Kirk was the 15th best defensive guard in the league last year, and he's playing for a defensive minded coach....That's nuff said Aso...39% not 32%

QUOTE (bmags @ Jul 21, 2014 -> 01:29 PM) okay. But the team scored 68 points in a playoff game, when this team needs offense, are you going to throw Kirk at the 2? That's exciting to everyone? I'd rather have tried the BAE on Shawn Marion than kirk if we wanted defensive re-enforcement. I'd have no problem had Kirk decided to pay the org a true discount and signed for vet min I'd be all for it. But to sign him at 2 million per because he is better at defense than 2 offensive guards, meh. FWIW, Kirk was 4-5 from beyond the arc and 6-11 overall in that 68 point game....He wasn't the problem.....DJ was 1-10 that game

QUOTE (SleepyWhiteSox @ Jul 21, 2014 -> 02:03 PM) I'm perfectly fine with hinrich and his defense as long as he does not take a shot all season. Lets not forget it was just 2 years ago that Kirk shot 39% from beyond the arc. He's had Alex Rios syndrome the last few years. 13-35% 12-39% 11-34% 10-38/42%....Even his bad years beyond the arc aren't THAT bad. When he and Rose are on the floor together all he really needs to be is a 3 point shooter. If he can shoot ~37% from 3 he'd be adding to the offense. If he's put in the position to do more then they could be in some trouble.

Don't know how much stock should be put in real plus minus, but Kirk ranked 15th among all guards defensively.

Hinrich is a good defensive guard playing for a defensive coach....It really is that simple.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 21, 2014 -> 10:31 AM) There are posters on here who will cry why didn't the Bulls make this trade. It is absurd how much teams are going to give up for Love. My Noah+ trade offer doesn't seem so silly now does it. This isn't for a rental, Love has already said he'd resign in Cleveland and he's a Cali guy who would resign in GS as well. Those teams lost all their leverage when he said that. Teams are getting a 25 year old top 5-10 player in the league who WILL be with whatever team trades for him for quite some time. It's a little different from than say the Dwight Howard trade.

Has there been any legit, non message board, trade talk for anyone at all?

Summer League FTW

Micah has been in AAA for just about a month and a half now. Give him some more time. If Beckham is traded ya gotta give Semien 2B. If Lexi is traded you still gotta call up Sanchez/Saladino before Micah. Really kinda hoping they trade one of those 4 guys in a deal with a guy like Tank or 1 of the relievers. I've loved following Micah, but I'd trade him in a heartbeat if it meant we got somethin damn good back. Sox already have a LH top of the order bat in Adam Eaton. Where do you put those 2 in the lineup together? Bat em back to back? One of em 8th?....I kinda like the idea of trading Micah the more I really think about it.

Title match was pretty good IMO...of course people will poo poo on it because of the result and no Lesnar but nevertheless good. Other than that and the tag match ya pretty meh overall. Rollins/Ambrose woulda made a big difference in terms of overall quality but I don't fault them for saving it for SS.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 19, 2014 -> 10:37 PM) If this is a trend, I will start loving on the Internet. A Yahoo Live Concert? KISS? Cool. I watched it. It's like you are there. https://screen.yahoo.com/live/event/kiss FYI you can see full live sets for most every band out there on youtube..... http://www.youtube.com/results?search_quer...+live+full+show There's pages of full KISS concerts for ya.

I will say it again...Usos/Wyatts has been the best tag team feud in quite some time....Don't even care that Usos won, those boys can work. Sooo no Ambrose/Rollins match??? Did Rollins wrestle on Smackdown?

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jul 20, 2014 -> 04:01 PM) Going to be hard to do it again. Meh...They have the worst bullpen in baseball...it's possible

Webb should be the closer!
