QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Nov 6, 2015 -> 02:38 PM) I wouldn't mind Weiters either, but that is Boras. I am thinking Avila with how they always talk him up. If healthy he can hit. I would rather the Sox pay Avila a little money than send players for Jason Castro.Avila hasn't been good since 2011. I don't think you can count on him for anything better than Flowers gives you.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Oct 28, 2015 -> 10:52 AM) They appear to not be terribly fond of Cuddyer. Or Eric Hosmer

AJ is in the booth for this one. I wonder if when he retires, we'd give him a call?

Astros with 2 in the top of the first.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Sep 29, 2015 -> 10:36 AM) Yea, but you have to put them on the suspicion of PED list as well. Roger Clemens.....Sure, but I don't know if there's ever been a concrete example of steroids helping pitchers as much as they helped hitters. I feel like the extremely offense-heavy nature of the era backs that up.

It also makes the pitchers who dominated in that era look even better.

nfl.com is saying it's a conditional pick.

Destiny: The Taken King is so far a worthwhile investment. It definitely feels like a finished game now.

Jays killing the Tigers right now 15-1. Encarnacion 3 home runs 9 rbi.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 23, 2015 -> 03:56 PM) Danks just sucks. Soto also calls a terrible game, but at least Cooper has sat on his ass all inningI don't think Soto is telling him to hang all those changeups. Should probably stop calling them for a bit though, since Danks is leaving them over the middle of the plate.

Bad team means bad Danks. 3-1 Mariners.

Man are we playing stupid right now.

I'd rather he bunt than stand there and take strike 3.

That's what you get you idiots.

Why are we walking Fowler to get to their hottest hitter?

Not a good at-bat from Sanchez. Swung at junk in the dirt, probably should have walked, then missed a fastball down the middle.

More White Sox bad baserunning, but we don't pay for it.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 7, 2015 -> 02:58 PM) A guy like that is probably making a $100k tops, probably less. For someone who had millions of dollar contracts before, that is nothing.Probably much better than what they would get doing something else.

Holy mother... WHY would you send him?

Now all of a sudden our offense comes around, so the pitching sucks.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Jul 31, 2015 -> 10:36 AM) I honestly wouldn't be upset if they dealt him. Prices seem high, and we're going to cool down.For a solid deal, even if it's prospects in the lower minors, I definitely think they should. I think Johnson can fill in well for Samardzija, and this system needs talent badly.

This was gonna happen with Saladino eventually. Hopefully he bounces back from these mistakes.

It's weird to have a guy on this team who doesn't flail at junk and takes his walks.

QUOTE (Buehrlesque @ Jul 24, 2015 -> 10:47 AM) I would consider that. But if you trade both Quintana and Samardzija, man, you are decimating this starting rotation. Bright side, I guess, would be that there is a crap ton of starting pitching FAs available this coming offseason.It would, but I trust this organization to develop pitching way more than hitting, so I think this is the kind of move you need to make, unless you want to wait around hoping we figure out how to develop hitters, or take more chances on the free agent market.
