QUOTE (Brian @ Jan 2, 2015 -> 09:18 PM) Out of thousands of movies per year. Which makes it rare, not unprecedented. It's "precedented" multiple times a year.

QUOTE (ZoomSlowik @ Jan 2, 2015 -> 08:40 PM) I played it a fair amount on the PS3 (I think about 30% completion), so I'd rather not pay $50 or $60 for it again. Once there's an actual release date on heists, I may make it a higher priority. They've been "coming" for over a year though. Oh yeah, then I wouldn't bother buying it again. I'm just going to bust out my PS3 once the heists come out. Maybe you haven't seen it yet, but they released a pretty awesome trailer for the heists like a week or two ago, with a release of "early 2015". Obviously vague, but the fact that they showed so much footage and have detailed in interviews how it all works, I'm fairly certain it's near completion. Now does "Early 2015" mean Valentines day or Easter? Who knows.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jan 2, 2015 -> 07:41 PM) 76 reviews in at RT and Selma is still at 100%. That pretty unprecedented. There are 2 movies from earlier this year that have 100% with 50+ reviews. Just going back a few years, it seems there is always at least 1, usually 2 movies that have 100% by the end. 2011 had 5 movies with 100%.

QUOTE (ZoomSlowik @ Jan 2, 2015 -> 07:46 PM) There's a bunch of stuff I'm looking forward to early in 2015. Will probably get at least 2 of Evolve, The Order 1886, Bloodborne, Mortal Kombat 10, maybe Dying Light. Hopefully Uncharted 4 comes out relatively soon. Right now, still playing a ton of Destiny. I took a few weeks off, but some other people that will remain nameless dragged me back in. Eventually I have to get back to Shadow of Mordor (only about 10% done), Last of Us Remastered (played it a ton on PS3, so not high priority) and going to pick up GTAV at some point. If I were you, I would pick up GTAV at least a couple weeks before The Heists finally get released. You'll want to do some of the storyline, get used to the game, and then play online some because you have to be at least Level 12 online too do heists. Plus, you'll want online money to buy a nice enough apartment so you can host the heists. Also, GTAV is just an overall amazing game, so just get it soon for that reason.

QUOTE (Greyone @ Jan 2, 2015 -> 07:37 PM) Until Q figures out a way to get rid of him. That's what makes me really nervous about getting too excited about young players. Q seems to pick and choose who he wants gone. I've very pleased Saad has survived this long.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jan 2, 2015 -> 04:33 PM) While I agree that Anderson would be lower in some systems, I think I'd be surprised if he weren't in the top 3-5 of every team in the league. I think you're underrating him quite a bit as there's enough helium in his stock right now to see him very possibly end up in the top 50. From the Giants, depending on how comfortable they are with Posey remaining behind the plate, Susac is a guy who could make a lot of sense for Tampa. Not that Tampa wouldn't have interest in Blackburn or Mella too, but I think they'd like someone who will contribute this year. They have been selling pieces off, but I don't think they view themselves as rebuilding as much as they are retooling. Just for reference, John Sickels has Mella as their #3 prospect, Blackburn as their #5 prospect. Their #4 prospect is Tyler Beede, but I'm assuming he wouldn't be traded as a PTBNL, so I didn't include him as a trade comp. Susac and Crick are their #1 and #2.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jan 1, 2015 -> 10:32 AM) And I'm saying the article's comment about batting practice wasn't meant to indicate that CH wastes his BP slugging bombs, just that he has been seen hitting longballs in some batting practices. Yeah, and OldSox was speculating that maybe Hawkins falls in love with the longball because of what he sees he is capable of in BP and then sells out in games to replicate those bombs. I remember in his rookie season he was constantly reweeting anyone who would give him high praise or compliment how far he hit the ball or how great he would be. It seemed as if he was soaking in all the dreams of being a superstar and it was getting to his head a bit. I too feel that a lot of his growth will come from between the ears, and that's when he will really shine.

Giants are rumored to be hot after Zobrist. If you wanted to find an Anderson equivalent in their system, prospect ranking-wise, I would say he's probably somewhere between Keury Mella and Clayton Blackburn. If we had a top 100 list released yet, we could find out much easier, but for now, those are my guesses to someone who would have similar rankings to Anderson. Now, if a Zobrist deal is done, then I would be guessing one of those guys would be in the deal, in which case I would say my theory of Zobrist's cost could be accurate.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Jan 2, 2015 -> 10:36 AM) There is no team in MLB that would trade Andeson + for 1 year of Zobrist. He is ridiculously over-valued here, and his value is highly likely to continue decline given his age. In fact, his numbers are down a full 100 OPS points over the last 2 years, a fact ignored hereon. Sure there are. Like most of the teams that have better farm systems than us. Especially the teams where Anderson would rank as their #5 or #6 prospect. If Anderson was on the Cubs, there is no doubt they would trade their 4th best young SHORT STOP for Zobrist. Just because the Sox probably can't afford that price, doesn't mean no team can afford it.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Jan 2, 2015 -> 02:43 PM) I have Shadow of Mordor that I've yet to play, need to get on that. May check out Evolve if it lives up to expectations. Oh good call, I need to borrow that from a friend and finish that game too.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 2, 2015 -> 11:30 AM) Genuinely surprised that people are looking forward to that movie so much. I can pretty much gaurantee you the hype, promos, and dollars at the box office will be much bigger than Avengers.

I'll just be finishing Far Cry 4 and mixing in some MLB The Show and Madden until MLB 15 The Show comes out at the end of March. Then I probably won't buy another game until The Division.

QUOTE (lvjeremylv @ Jan 2, 2015 -> 12:57 AM) *sigh* When's the last Sox position player prospect that amounted to anything near what Ben Zobrist will produce over the next 5 years? I agree Hahn probably wouldn't do it, but he really should if presented with the opportunity. Are you expecting me or anyone else to project out Ben Zobrist for the next 5 years? He's only got 1 year left on his deal, so the following 4 years aren't really of any consequence in a possible trade.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Jan 1, 2015 -> 10:42 PM) That presumes that the Sox would make the playoffs with the good old 34 year old veteran at 2nd. Dubious assumption. These Rays are like these As players...they are heavily managed. Their metrics absolutely max what they are - sort of like college teams who know how to gig the RPI. No reason to fawn all over these Rays players. I think most of us here would peg the Sox for around 83-85 wins next season. Now add 4-5 wins to that for the difference between Zobrist and Carlos/Micah. I think 87-90 wins gives us a pretty great chance at a wild card. That being said, I don't think there is any chance the Sox get Zobrist because his asking price will be Anderson +, and that's just not something I can see Hahn doing.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 1, 2015 -> 10:20 PM) To be fair, my avatar and quote at the left aren't exactly hiding which movie I might have at top of list. I don't get it. Are "Pitch all the lefties" and "No strings on me" references from Avengers????

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 1, 2015 -> 09:47 PM) Yeah, barely excited. Liked seeing the Millennium Falcon in the trailer but literally haven't watched a solid, new Star Wars movie since I was I enjoyed Episodes 1 and 3.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 1, 2015 -> 06:25 PM) I just posted this in the 2014 thread but realized it's a new year. No other movie should lead off this thread. The only movie that matters in 2015 just ran a commercial during the Rose Bowl for their next trailer. A commercial for a trailer just convinced me to watch the NCAA championship game. So, trailer #2, 11 days. Clicked the link expecting Star Wars, closed out of the window very disappointed.

So LaRoche is a left-handed version of Paul Konerko from a couple years ago.

What a horses*** phantom hooking call on Toews that decided the game.

QUOTE (farmteam @ Jan 1, 2015 -> 09:43 AM) Hey now, you take that bit about Daze back. I liked watching him and as Amonte as a kid. When Dollar Bill would let me watch them, anyway. Daze was my favorite player as a kid.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jan 1, 2015 -> 05:49 AM) Pretty funny considering Bryan Bickell is on the team currently. (And Eric Daze years ago) I still feel like Bickell uses his size more than Seabrook does.

QUOTE (Jake @ Dec 31, 2014 -> 08:18 PM) Or it was just a compliment that he sometimes hits it very far in batting practice He was commenting on the player's mindset, not the article.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 29, 2014 -> 10:13 PM) Seabs is so ineffective at hitting a guy and separating him from the puck. He's the biggest waste of size I can remember the Hawks ever having.
