QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Oct 15, 2016 -> 11:11 PM) Yeah you're right, I mean who would want one of the best hitters in baseball? One of the best hitters? Melky ranked 64th in wRC+ and 75th in offensive WAR. The only thing he's elite at offensively is making contact. 9th lowest K% in majors and 12th in contact%.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Oct 15, 2016 -> 09:52 AM) I would undoubtedly take Pryor over Meredith. Well, I didn't end up doing anything and someone else got the claim on him.

QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Oct 14, 2016 -> 02:02 PM) Some good thoughts here: Investigating The 5 Most Compelling ‘Westworld’ Theories, So Far Oooooh, I really like those first 2 theories. The point about Maeve seeing The Man in the Black Hat in her flashback does seem to hurt that theory a bit. But the 2nd theory seems to be bang on so far.

The Indians are the AL version of the Giants, right? Except with a much better bullpen.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Oct 14, 2016 -> 06:40 AM) Meredith. Don't be blinded by a career game. So you think I should take Pryor over Meredith? The only reason I picked up Meredith was because on Matthew Berry's fantasy show he said he thought he was worth a stash given how injured Bears WR are and how much Jeffrey is disappearing.

Man, Pryor just got dropped in my league and I am really tempted to pick him up. Just can't decide if I should drop Enunwa or Coates or Meredith to do it. Ugh, he's so intriguing.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Oct 13, 2016 -> 07:59 AM) Forsling, Kempny and Motte looked very good in their NHL debuts. Seabrook was great. Toews and Panik solid. TVR on the other hand was terrible. Slow, not physical and no offense. Ideally a #7 defenseman at best, but can be a #6 who should rotate in that spot. Schmaltz wasn't very good. Tootoo was as invisible as his ice time.

Yeah, that 2nd trailer gave a much better feel for the movie. Can't wait!

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Oct 13, 2016 -> 09:34 AM) Lucroy is not a FA. His option is about as no brainer as they get. Whatever website I was looking at listed him as a FA, I guess they forgot to mention he has an option.

Yikes. Growing pains with roster turnover, I hope.

Just curious, does anyone else besides me feel like the Sox could compete next season just by unloading Quintana and Robertson for some young major league talent? Let's say...Quintana to Red Sox for Benintendi, Shaw, Groome, Kopech. And also....Roberston to Giants for Joe Panik Sox go out and sign Rich Hill and Lucroy Rotation is.... Sale Hill Rodon Gonzalez Shields/Fulmer Lineup is.... SS Anderson RF Eaton DH Abreu C Lucroy 3B Frazier LF Melky CF Benintendi 1B Shaw 2B Panik Saladino and Lawrie are your backup IF. Or maybe you even give the Giants one of those two along with Robertson until Christian Arroyo is ready to come up for them. Narvaez is your backup catcher. Nate Jones becomes your closer, and you obviously sign a couple MR in there to replace deadweights like Albers. I think that team is certainly better in 2017, even though you lost Quintana and Robertson.

Will all talk about games be in this thread, or should we still go to the minor league subforum?

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Oct 12, 2016 -> 12:37 PM) Not me. And he's not banned or anything, he just doesn't post anymore. Oh ok. He was always incredibly snarky and condescending and it reminded me of how Deadpool typically acts around here. Maybe thought it was the same dude.

No mention of Alex Call? Chosen a round earlier than Fisher, and if we just compare their time at GFs, Call hit .308 AVG, .444 OBP with 3 HR in 134 PA with a 14.2 BB% and a 13.4 K%. Fisher hit .342 AVG, .436 OBP, with 4 HR in 219 PA with a 12.3 BB% and 19.6 K%. Fisher stole 13 bases to Call's 3, but I believe Call played CF while Fisher played corner OF. And that's not even mentioning that Call was promoted to A-ball and continued to hit .308 with 3 more HR and a wRC+ of 133 with 10 more SB.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Oct 12, 2016 -> 12:35 PM) Ha..no. Is that you? Or is that guy gone?

QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 12, 2016 -> 07:05 AM) Yep And is AustinIllini the same as that Krush poster we used to have? It may have been IlliniKrush or OrangeKrush or something.

Oh, so we ARE punting 2017.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Oct 12, 2016 -> 12:15 AM) Because he is a Cubs fan, it's quite that simple. He can be a Sox fan as well, but Austin is a Cubs fan for sure. Is Deadpool that AustinIllini guy or whatever?

No one really exciting to grab on waivers this week. Put in a claim for Jonathan Stewart and Sammy Coates.

Giants needs Roberston. Quick, Hahn, ask for Christian Arroyo!

Bought Mafia 3

Well, Brandon Crawford's botched DP caused them the game.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Oct 11, 2016 -> 11:04 PM) What's unbelievable is Bochy using five f***ing relievers in a single inning with a sizable lead. He got too f***ing cute and blew an amazing opportunity to knock the Cubs out of the playoffs. But, in theory, he was playing the BEST matchups, the odds of NONE of them working out is kind of crazy.

Giants bullpen converted 43 saves in 2016. They blew 32 saves. That's unbelievable for a playoff team.

I started to do that Costco Auto process for a friend. I filled out the info of the car she wanted submitted it, and received a phone call the next day from the dealership that was selected. That guy called me one time, and one time only. I never replied, since she changed her mind, but he did not continue to harass me about buying a car, so I feel like that's probably a Costco influence as well.
