Dunn up to .195 It'd just be nice to see him over .200. He's been hitting so well recently.

Ha, I don't even want to trade Reed.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 23, 2013 -> 08:15 PM) I said it the other day, but only way I'd consider trading Sale for anyone outside of Harper/Trout/Machado is if it's to the Cardinals with Crain or Alexei for a package like Taveras, Wong, Adams, Rosenthal and Martinez. Basically, it's not going to happen. Yup. The kind of talent that he'd theoretically be worth on an open marketplace could be extraordinary, but, it's not a price we could realize. Nor do I actually want to trade him.

QUOTE (The Ultimate Champion @ Jun 23, 2013 -> 07:55 PM) Cue Farmio on closers in non-save situations. Ha, here's his career numbers: I Split W L W-L% ERA G GS GF CG SHO SV IP H R ER HR BB IBB SO HBP BK WP BF WHIP SO/9 SO/BB in Sv Situ 1 0 1.000 2.86 61 0 52 0 0 50 56.2 45 19 18 3 21 1 53 2 0 1 237 1.165 8.4 2.52 in non-Sv 4 2 .667 5.90 39 0 23 0 0 0 39.2 46 26 26 6 7 3 49 1 1 0 170 1.336 11.1 7.00

I'd only trade him for the kind of package that we wouldn't be able to get. He's literally a Cy Young caliber pitcher signed to an incredibly team-friendly deal just entering his mid 20s - and he's just about the only draw we have to get people to the ballpark. He's what we're hoping we would get in these trades.

Looking forward to finding out the creative way that we won't score here.

Jesse gets out of it.

QUOTE (bbilek1 @ Jun 22, 2013 -> 03:46 PM) De Aza doesn't have what it takes to be a CF. He's mentally soft and not the smartest. Jesse Crain surprises nobody by getting Sal Perez with one out and a man on third. Yup, just not a smart ballplayer way too often.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 22, 2013 -> 03:44 PM) Hawk go nuts? I've got the Royals broadcast here. I assume that he did.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 22, 2013 -> 03:42 PM) I missed it, what did he do? Rios looked like he had it, De Aza was coming in hot, Rios turns away, De Aza never actually tried to catch it. It's a triple that landed within three feet of two guys that both could have caught it with some minor communication.

Your 2013 White Sox. Really nice streak for Crain that is likely going to end due to our s***ty defense.

"With a name like Hector Santiago, it would be very easy to assume he was born outside of the country." Royals broadcast, bringing the info.

OH MY GOD A RUN

This seems like an extremely effective way to bruise a testicle.

It's a shame Gavin had to get hurt. He wouldn't be the difference between buying and selling, but he would have been another piece to move.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 20, 2013 -> 07:54 PM) If you are going to be bad for 5 years, he is the one who makes most sense to move. I don't disagree....but he's literally the only guy on the team that people will actually come to see anymore. You'd maximize apathy within the fan base and depress ticket sales even more.

Sale's really the only guy I couldn't see moving.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 16, 2013 -> 03:41 PM) Jake, if you start to trade Rios and Peavy, you're basically giving up on next year also. When organizations get in trouble is when they try to rebuild while contending. It's very hard to look at the roster without Rios and Peavy and think this team can even sniff competing against the powerhouse Tigers. If we're going to firesale, there's no reason to halfass it.

I'm interested to see when the teardown begins this year and who we get back. Should be like Ridiculous Days around here....so many players should be available it's ridiculous.

QUOTE (BPK @ Jun 15, 2013 -> 06:56 PM) Maybe they're trying to protect us from ourselves? Yeah, it's probably better that you didn't see today's game.

This is still happening.

I think my max winning streak with game threads started is either 8 or 11.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 10, 2013 -> 11:49 PM) Clearly meant to do that, as he wanted to keep the throw low so Reed didn't lose it in the fog. Ha, I've rarely seen a toss so accurately fired at the shin like that.

Uh....whatever Paulie?

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 10, 2013 -> 11:40 PM) Did Hawk just say Dunn only has two, 3 run homers in his career? If so, that's not correct It just feels like that since he's been here.
