QUOTE (Soxfest @ Nov 8, 2014 -> 11:09 PM) Alabama allowed to run pick plays and mug LSU WR in OT. Catch on last drive in regulation should of been reviewed looked like not a catch on replay. Refs never throw the flag on pick plays.....unless it's against ND to help FSU win.

QUOTE (sammy esposito @ Nov 8, 2014 -> 10:26 PM) If a pitcher like Rodon needs another year to develop then a rental makes sense. Then sign a filler SP, or a cheaper rental like Brandon McCarthy that can be flipped in July. Don't trade valuable prospects for a rental, that's crazy to me.

QUOTE (Jerksticks @ Nov 8, 2014 -> 10:49 PM) Alright man I have to disagree. It's very possible that we contend. We have superstars, great young players and good prospects. Don't write it off yet for The Hahn is hunting. If Samardzija is the last piece we add in January after we acquire a real catcher, 3B, LF, then fine, I'd probably buy us being a contender next year. But as currently constructed, this team isn't sniffing the playoffs, so Samardzija sure as s*** better not be our 1st move unless Hahn is 110% sure he can add in the surrounding pieces he needs.

QUOTE (Baron @ Nov 8, 2014 -> 11:11 PM) Rick Hahn and the rest of the organization seems to think so Yeah, I don't think they do.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Nov 8, 2014 -> 10:01 PM) The same reason people want to trade for Heyward. They believe for unknown reasons he'd be willing to extend and not make 20-30% more in free agency. Samardzija as a rental makes a bit more sense to hold a spot for Rodon...but if the asking price is too high, and why wouldn't it be...then forget it. Why on Earth does this team need a rental? They aren't a playoff contender next season. Contenders trade for rentals, not rebuilding organizations.

QUOTE (LDF @ Nov 4, 2014 -> 05:58 AM) when the sox comes out, is there a way I can asked If you post it. I just wouldn't know when it comes out. many thanks. Don't worry, I'll be starting a new thread for it. Kiley had a prospect chat yesterday and he said the Sox list will be out sometime during next week. Speaking of that chat, he answered some White Sox prospect related questions.... Comment From Guest Montas looking, er, pitching-wise like a SP or still likely a RP? 12:55 Kiley McDaniel: Probably RP, but still has a chance to figure it out. Comment From george rr martin how big of a concern is Tim Anderson’s plate discipline? 12:56 Kiley McDaniel: I’m not too concerned. I’d like to see him make some adjustments, but he barely played baseball as an amateur and the tools are absurd.

QUOTE (Joshua Strong @ Nov 8, 2014 -> 01:12 PM) Jeter's retired. Since when?

Not even close to the same ND team in the 2nd half as the 1st half. I can't even imagine what the score would be without that comical 1st quarter.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Nov 8, 2014 -> 07:10 AM) I can put you in touch with him if you'd like, via email or something. Yeah, that'd be cool, thanks.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Nov 7, 2014 -> 04:50 PM) James Shields turns 33 in a month and a half and they're seeking (and could very well get) a 5 year contract. Samardzija and his agent would be failing miserably taking 4 years. Assuming health, his first contract offer from an inquiring team would be for 5 years. And James Shields has been a tremendously better pitcher than Samardzija. Since Shark's first full starting season, he has a 9.5 WAR over 3 years. Shields has had a 12.1 WAR. Outside of 1 bad year, Shields has never had less than a 3.5 WAR. He averages about 225 IP per year, a mark Samardzija has never reached. I think 5 years is too long for Shields too, but he has a far better track record than Samardzija.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 7, 2014 -> 04:05 PM) He asked the Cubs for something similar to Homer Bailey's deal, which was 6/105 Bailey was 27 when he signed his 6 year deal. Samardzija will be 31 before his new contract starts. I don't see him getting 6 yrs/$105. I see him getting 4 years, maybe a 5th year option.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Nov 7, 2014 -> 02:21 PM) I don't want Samardzija for anything close to what I think he'll reasonably command. I think he'd be asking for 4 yrs/$70M, and I don't think I'd do that. I'd much prefer something like 4 yrs/$56M.

If Rosenthal says it, I believe it. It just scares me what the A's would want in return considering they gave up Russell to get him for a couple months. I'd imagine they'd ask for Anderson + others and I would not do that deal for only 1 year of Shark.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Nov 7, 2014 -> 08:28 AM) My friend does, and he's REALLY into this stuff. Works at a place and makes his own hardware and juice, and supposedly he's really good at it, and knows practically everything there is to know about it. Ask him why all my s*** breaks. I just had a Kanger T3s break off a the base. Considering buying a Kanger MT3s next.

QUOTE (peavy44 @ Nov 7, 2014 -> 12:41 AM) I want gary sanchez from the yankees I was trying to stay away from top 50 blue chip prospects because I wanted more realism and multiple players back. If they agree to move Sanchez, it would probably be a 1 for 1 swap.

It's funny because last July a few of us were hoping for an Alexei for Piscotty swap. Now I think most would consider that an bad return (although I still love Piscotty, I'd hope for more than just him). So I'll play along and do a little kid-in-the-candy-shop routine here with NYM/LAD/NYY..... Mets: C Kevin Plawecki and OF Brandon Nimmo Yankees: OF Aaron Judge and RHP Luis Severino Dodgers: OF Scott Schebler, RHP Zach Lee, LHP Chris Reed I would throw in a prospect on our side to make any of these work too. I especially like the Mets package, but I'm also a big fan of Schebler and Severino.

Still can't believe I was supposed to be at both Buehrle's no-hitter and his perfect game, but only made it to the no-hitter. Damn my laziness.

Anyone vape? I am having terrible luck with mine. I've gone through 2 tanks now. First one I replaced because it was leaking, and the girl at the smoke shop said to get a better tank, so I bought one. Then that one has been leaking too, and then tonight I went to grab it, and it cracked off. It's just been sitting, so I have no idea how it cracked itself. I have no idea if I am just buying bad brands or bad luck. Kind of getting sick of spending money everytime I go to this smoke shop.

I would definitely take Castro if the Astros are willing to sell low on him.

I'd take him as a salary dump, like a waiver claim type this. Throw them Joey DeMichele or something. But I wouldn't trade any of our top 10 prospects for him unless they are eating some money.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Nov 4, 2014 -> 05:21 PM) Over/under on percent of vote: 99.9999% Abreu I am taking the over. Betances will get a 1st place vote from some NY doucher.

0 goals, 0 goals, 5 goals and could have tallied a few more. Feel free to spread those out, boys.

If my waiver claims go through, I'll be adding Mike Evans and Heath Miller. Roddy White was also available, but I went with Evans.

Lose the Belly. keep everyone else.
