James Shields
QUOTE (Reddy @ Jan 29, 2015 -> 09:05 PM) for 1.5MM? yeah it's f***ing good. and to compare Billingsley to Clayton Richard is laughable. He had a 3.67 before pitching became as dominant as it is right now. He had WARs from 3-5 before he got hurt. We paid 2MM for Beckham. Enough said. 12 innings in 2013, zero innings in 2014, two different surgeries. It's a great lottery ticket, but they may get nothing from him.

MLB Network Top 10 Right Now
QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jan 29, 2015 -> 09:07 PM) It was this: 10. Jordan Zimmerman 9. Madison Bumgarner 8. David Price 7. Corey Kluber 6. Johnny Cueto 5. Max Scherzer 4. Adam Wainwright 3. Chris Sale 2. Felix Hernandez 1. Clayton Kershaw Given all the hype it seems crazy that Stephen Strasburg is not a top 10 SP in the league. And that he may be a #3 on his own team.

Give me an off-season you enjoyed more than this 2014-2015...
Signing Adam Dunn in the 2010 offseason was pretty awesome. That was an 88 win team already and it seemed like adding the most consistent LH power hitter in the game would put them in the playoffs. Then .159/.292/.277 happened.

Boras: World Series should be held at a neutral site for better marke
QUOTE (farmteam @ Jan 29, 2015 -> 07:48 AM) Wasn't that only for the 1919 World Series, though? They did it as a "Woohoo, WWI is over!" kind of thing. They were just trying to make it more difficult for the White Sox to throw the series.

Sox sign Gordon Beckham, designate Viciedo for Assignment
QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jan 28, 2015 -> 02:57 PM) How did Quentin come up? Even if he could still play the outfield, the Sox have Cabrera and Garcia in the corners, and then DH is covered by Abreu/LaRoche. The disabled list needs some bodies

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Jan 28, 2015 -> 02:13 PM) Jesus christ -- I thought we were finally done with this guy. To me, this seems like one of those situations where we're in danger of having the coach overplay him. EDIT: Also, this isn't how I envisioned getting rid of Viciedo, lol. Given that they stuck to their word with PK14 last season, I do have some hope that this won't happen.

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Jan 28, 2015 -> 12:18 PM) Meh, this is entirely subjective, if these guys were wearing Cowboys uniforms, I bet you wouldn't find them quite so unlikeable. Dennis Rodman was one of the most hated member of the Bad Boy Pistons to Bulls fan, then he wore a Bulls uniform and magically became a Bulls fan favorite... This is how I feel about Richard Sherman. I can't stand how he has to get in the opponent's face and talk smack after every single play. But man, if the Bears had a CB like that....

Sox sign Gordon Beckham, designate Viciedo for Assignment
QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jan 28, 2015 -> 01:38 PM) Not necessarily. I still think they go with bench of: catcher, Bonifacio, Beckham, and an OF. One of Sanchez/Micah makes the roster and the other is in Charlotte. That's what I came up with too.

Sports Betting
QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Jan 28, 2015 -> 12:01 PM) So Duke being -1.5 at ND is a trap right? Still not convinced this ND team is quite this good I maybe wrong, but I thought that ND started out as a 1-1.5 favorite and it has since flip flopped. Also saw that Virginia was projected to be a 10 point favorite over Duke Saturday which seems crazy.

State of the Union
QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jan 27, 2015 -> 05:18 PM) To be frank, the estate tax might be one of the most unfair taxes in the world. You made it, lets just retax it and make it a burden on your families. Not to mention, there are so many smart accountants and lawyers out there who know to avoid the estate tax, that a lot of that money just goes to them and not the government anyway.

Boras: World Series should be held at a neutral site for better marke
There is only one way his plan would work and that would be making it a one-game series. Corporations are gonna stick around for 7-10 days because of baseball? Yeah, OK. The #1 marketing concern right now for MLB should be getting rid of the blackout rules.

Bullpen Depth/MI Depth
QUOTE (raBBit @ Jan 27, 2015 -> 03:32 PM) Righties 1. Robertson 2. Petricka 3. Putnam 4. Webb 5. Guerra --------------- Jones - ASB return Crain - should be healthy for ST Cleto - sucks Ynoa - too far off but on the 40 Montas - if they're being silly Lefties 1. Duke 2. Jennings ---------------- Eric Surkamp Onelki Garcia I think they need a 4th outfielder. That doesn't seem to be talked about though. If that's the bullpen they go into the season with, I won't be complaining.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jan 27, 2015 -> 01:58 PM) That's how I feel about the entire Seattle team. Mainly because their two mouthpieces are Lynch and Sherman, two of the most unlikable people in the league (and that's saying something). Watch this two minute video then come back and try to tell me that Lynch is unlikeable. You won't be able to. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h2uN28EJRlA

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jan 27, 2015 -> 01:38 PM) Marshawn Lynch is so annoying with the media. It's not funny anymore, just immature and unprofessional. Today at media day, he answered almost every question with "i'm just here so I won't get fined" I'm torn about this. On one hand, he does make a lot of money knowing that being famous and dealing with media is part of the job description. On the other hand, meh, who cares. If he doesn't want to talk, go ask somebody else a question.
