QUOTE (heirdog @ Jul 31, 2016 -> 11:17 PM) To me, it's both or no deal. You can keep your killer Bs in the ML lineup and if we're not touching your major league team, you're giving up the top of the farm or buzz off It's not like Devers and Rodriguez are randoms. Not saying I don't prefer Moncada or Benintendi, but I'd rather do deal I threw out there than end this season with Quintana throwing meaningless innings for us. If it's Sale, fine, only do it for one of them, he's got a Superstar tax (popularity/notoriety).

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Jul 31, 2016 -> 11:18 PM) Apparently Travis Wood just made some ridiculous catch in LF tonight? All the writers are talking about it on Twitter, comparing every good play to it. Can I assume it was actually amazing, or just a catch that would not even make a highlight reel if it wasn't made by a pitcher? Just saw it....yeah....if any normal OF makes that play, he is probably going to be laughed at for how bad it looked, not immortalized for how incredibly amazing it was. The dude ran about 30 feet for a flyball, turned over each shoulder, and then catch the ball right in front of the wall, stumbling in to it. I would say it was funny, but it wasn't incredible.

Well, we would immediately become the worst team in baseball, but would have the greatest farm system ever. That's got to be like what...8 or 9 top 100 players? In addition to the 2 we already have. That's a crazy amount of arb eligible players at the same time.

If the Red Sox won't include Moncada or Benintendi....then give us Devers + Eduardo Rodriguez. 3B Devers, SP Rodriguez, SP Kopech, 3B Chavis, and OF Basabe for Quintana.

I guess Marlins take MiGo.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 30, 2016 -> 09:30 PM) "In all probability" is a token Hahn phrase, too. I expect him to drop that 4-6 times as well. "We can't say with certainty" and "we feel good about" seems to be another couple that come to mind.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jul 30, 2016 -> 08:48 PM) Are you f***ing serious? Would you appreciate that if you were an advanced scout leaking this information for no monetary gain? Would you like him tweeting the world what teams his sources are scouts for? Because he did that today. He's an arrogant f*** and not someone I would trust passing information to when it would cost me my job if I got caught. Ok, if his source is feeding him info, he's obviously aware that he is going to share that info with social media at this point. So if he posts a text conversation and all you can read is "Hey man, watch out for a Robertson trade here soon", how the hell does it make a difference if that was relayed in the form of a screenshot (with pertinent info redacted, obviously) or by him typing it out and putting quotes around it? How is that exposing anyone?

Ugh. This team can't even lose properly

What the hell are these clowns doing? s***, now Robertson is going to come in and I can't root for him to blow the save. Ugh. Maybe a comedy of errors and not actual bad pitching?

f*** off, Dozier.

OMG, back to back walk-off walks? That would be f***ing hilarious...... MAKE ME LAUGH, CLOWNS.

Hmm...Well a Twins walk-off win two nights in a row may be a nice little twist of the knife to management. So do that (As long as it's not Robertson or Duke).

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Jul 30, 2016 -> 08:59 PM) Ok, I want a Melky sharp single to RF, Anderson thrown out easily at home, no chance for injury, Melky gets another hit, and we still lose.... LETS GO! OMG I WAS SO CLOSE.

Oh s***, just realized the Timmy double means we have tying run on 2nd in the 9th.....and I do like me some Saladino....Ugh...a conundrum.

Ayyyyee, Timmy with a 3-hit game! Woo! Back on the climb to 1 WAR!

This game is actually going quite perfectly. Miguel Gonzalez pitches a great game, hopefully getting a team to bite on him, and a meaningless bullpen arm blows the game and gets us a better draft position. Everything is coming up Milhouse!

QUOTE (winninguglyin83 @ Jul 30, 2016 -> 07:55 PM) Call just keeps hitting. Does he have any other projectable tools? fourth outfielder? his walk/Ks are pretty balanced. I feel like he is a solid-tool guy across the board. Above-average everything except for maybe just average power. But I think I recall good speed, good defense for CF, good arm, good eye, makes contact. Also, he added another hit. 2/3 now.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jul 30, 2016 -> 08:37 PM) He's definitely got sources, but my god, why would you leak info to this guy? I'm pretty sure he was tweeting screen-caps of text messages from two of his sources. I wouldn't trust someone with an ego as big as his. Well if he blocks out the name and number, then what difference does that make?

I'm assuming this is the Q trade thread... Just got the ESPN alert on my phone saying the Sox and Rangers are discussing a trade. Hmm...wonder why that would trigger an alert when I haven't gotten any other rumors yet.

Morneau has what, 2 shots off the wall with a HR and a flyout to the warning track in this series so far in 1 1/2 games? Dude loves hitting in Minny.
