After the Greinke signing, does this give us picks #10 and #30, and #50?

Can't wait to f*** around on Just Cause 3 when I get my computer in. Then I think I may get Rainbow 6 Siege for the computer.

QUOTE (CrimsonWeltall @ Dec 4, 2015 -> 05:59 PM) I'm a bit scared that Battlefront on PC is already dying. Only 15,000 players currently on. For reference, Team Fortress 2 has 50,000 people playing right now. Garry's Mod has 38,000. Counterstrike has 410,000. Battlefield 4 has 21,000. If it's this bad now, in peak Star Wars hype season, what's it going to be in 6 months? Well, the movie still 13 days away. I would expect it to spike again the week following the movie, then dip steadily.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Dec 4, 2015 -> 07:21 PM) Their rotation is still not much to be desired for. Grienke, Corbin, Bradley, Ray, and De La Rosa, Collmenter? Very average. If they are going all in on Grienke, then I want to see them go all in on Quintana and give us that package I made up a few weeks ago. Inciarte, Drury, Owings, and Blair.

A get a lot of you guys hate the Cubs, but Lackey was quite good last year. 3.3 WAR. Even if he regresses to a 2.5 WAR guy, that's still fair value for $16M a year and makes him a solid #3 starter for a lot of teams. The risk, IMO, is his healthy, not his skills.

QUOTE (tpezz27 @ Dec 4, 2015 -> 01:38 AM) Estrada re-signed with Toronto a few weeks ago, 2 years 26 million. Oh you're right, duh. I was looking at an old FA list.

QUOTE (dpd9189 @ Dec 3, 2015 -> 10:26 PM) If I have to make one prediction though, I think the Sox throw us a curveball and trade Melky Cabrera for an MLB ready player or some prospects. This would allow for the Sox to get even more money off the books for 2017 where they should be able to spend again. And then we only have 1 OF we can count on?

I think we are trading with Dbacks, Reds, or Rockies. 1 big trade, 1 2nd-tier FA (Bartolo F'ing Colon, 1 yr/$9M)

Oh fun....MTV talk again.

Also, I decree we call them Navila to make it easier.

This isn't an exciting move, but I think it's one that makes us better, and costs us absolutely nothing. Not marginally better, but again, at no cost. Free upgrade, if you will. Here is what I posted in the Navarro rumor thread, but I'm sure the platoon situation has been discussed thoroughly by now.... "Navarro owns a career 110 wRC+ versus lefties, while Avila has a 116 wRC+ versus righties. Last year Navarro had batting .278 with a 145 wRC+ versus lefties and actually walked 5% more than he struck out. And for his career versus lefties, he has walked 8.5% of the time and only struck out 10.2%. I get that Navarro is a switch hitter, but he appears much better against lefties, and with Avila doing much better against righties, maybe start them according to L/R match-ups. This could lead to a solid split platoon if that is indeed the plan."

Let's pretend the Navarro rumors are true and he goes in to a platoon with Avila. Navarro owns a career 110 wRC+ versus lefties, while Avila has a 116 wRC+ versus righties. Last year Navarro had batting .278 with a 145 wRC+ versus lefties and actually walked 5% more than he struck out. And for his career versus lefties, he has walked 8.5% of the time and only struck out 10.2%. I get that Navarro is a switch hitter, but he appears much better against lefties, and with Avila doing much better against righties, maybe start them according to L/R match-ups. This could lead to a solid split platoon if that is indeed the plan.

Mike Milligan might be Fargo's best character across both seasons. He steals every scene.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Dec 2, 2015 -> 12:18 AM) It sounds like something crazy... And is... But this s***s real. Have a court date tomorrow morning, actually.... And then Thursday / Friday I'm moving into a new house that cheerleader woman's gonna move into soon. I guess on here my names hi8is but when it comes to the ladies... None shall be taken. Hard to pass up a first love reunited in any form - especially when it's a flipping calendar swimsuit edition. Bye bye crazy lady, hello beautiful. I rest my case. So are you going to tell us who she is, or what? lmao.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Nov 30, 2015 -> 11:44 PM) Of course it's an awful list. It wasn't supposed to be a good list. It was just to show what the stats say. It's supposed to make you think, then you move on. You're not supposed to make b****y comments about how bad it is because player X should be rated higher/lower. lmao.....oh. Ok. Sorry Dan.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Nov 29, 2015 -> 05:29 PM) I could make a YouTube video of Avi Garcia playing the outfield, and if you had never seen him play and only saw video, you would think he was a gold glove quality OF. I will give you this guy has a reputation of being good with the glove. I also don't think he hits a HR nearly every PA simply because his highlight videos shows that happening. I was speaking to the video, and the video has some really fantastic plays at 3B.

Looks like an awful list. I especially love Westbrook in as the 13th best OVERALL prospect in baseball, when Farnsworth ranked him the 14th best IN THE DIAMONDBACKS SYSTEM.

Pass on Lawrie. Don't want his character in the clubhouse.

BTW, I went and picked up that backup unit that I linked to you. Staples had 1 left.

QUOTE (LDF @ Nov 28, 2015 -> 02:32 PM) excellent.... no matter what, 40. dollars is worth a good investment to protect a custom baby .... if you got advice of a custom build, why not an asus. just wondering... btw, no need to answer. i was just wondering. i hope i provided some help. An Asus what? This was the website and configurator I used.... http://www.ibuypower.com/Store/BF-Intel-B150-Special

No idea how well his offense will translate, but defense is pretty much defense. And that's some real real solid glovework there.

Something like this LDF? http://www.staples.com/APC-Back-UPS-NS-600...CFYU-aQodPtsCXQ

QUOTE (LDF @ Nov 28, 2015 -> 05:04 AM) well, if those are the restriction, i hope i didn't offend you. you did good according to the restrictions. last thing, make sure you invest into a apc-ups. might as well protect that baby. do not believe in the bs of a power strip. Lol, you didn't offend me. Like I said I don't really know what I'm doing, I just took the guidance from guys at work who build their own computers.

QUOTE (LDF @ Nov 27, 2015 -> 08:20 PM) that too is a rip off. what is it upgrading to what... the I7 6700 is the way to go, unless you want a good speed then go with a tubo boost and refresh rate. stick with a asus z9 something, or go with a lower 5820 i think. the ssd is great if you are building a server, the liquid cooling is a waste well for me, i would put in more fans and a dvd dual fan. ran corsair is extremely good, but remember this is all subjective. it is like asking someone if they prefer a brand new corvette or caddy. These were my 2 other options on the motherboard..... MSI B150 Gaming M3 -- 2x PCIe 3.0 x16, 2x USB 3.0, 2x USB 2.0, DDR4 Memory +20 MSI B150A Gaming Pro -- 2x PCIe 3.0 x16, 6x USB 3.1 (Gen1/Gen2), 2x USB 2.0, DDR4 Memory +25

QUOTE (LDF @ Nov 27, 2015 -> 03:49 PM) for me, do not use os 8 or 10.... overall, it is ok, i would have gone with a different motherboard. powersupply ax1000 I the ssd great. I think I could have upgraded to the next level for like $20. I honestly had no idea what motherboard to pick. I'm at a wedding today, but when I get home I'll try to find the other 2 options and I'll ask you to tell me if I should throw the extra money at the other 2 options. I was very happy I was able to get the 16 GB of DDR4 2333. Every other time I was configurating stuff I was just going with 8 GB of DDR3.
