QUOTE (RockRaines @ Nov 7, 2014 -> 01:32 PM) One BCS game. Ever. Illinois = Two BCS games

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Nov 7, 2014 -> 12:43 PM) BS. His average season would look very nice in the middle of the White Sox line up, and may make some pitchers pitch to Abreu. His 162 game averger year is very similar to Carlos Beltran., who as a free agent, was 1 year older than Victor, and received $45 million for 3 years. And that Carlos Beltran contract already looks horrible and he still has two years to go.

QUOTE (StRoostifer @ Nov 7, 2014 -> 11:58 AM) If the are going to use Anderson to get a starting pitcher, I would hope that starting pitcher is better, younger and more cost effective than Samardjiza. Absolutely. I'd rather keep the prospect and just spend a little extra and sign Lester.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Nov 7, 2014 -> 09:11 AM) seriously, is anyone dumber than Jameis Winston in college football? Is there any proof or any legit sources yet? Or are we all still taking the word of Incarcerated Bob?

QUOTE (SnB @ Nov 7, 2014 -> 08:31 AM) What in the world happened w/ Dalton last night? He was laugh out loud bad on some of those throws. I don't even think Cutler has had that bad of a game

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Nov 7, 2014 -> 07:58 AM) Anyone know why he got only 400 PA's last year? Being platooned or injury or defense or something else? He went on the DL in July with a bulging disk in his back and missed about 3 weeks. He missed two weeks in September due to kidney stones.

QUOTE (Brian @ Nov 7, 2014 -> 05:18 AM) Anyone up for a Soxtalk FanDuel comp this week? I'm addicted to this site. Been playing $1 a day on an NBA team. Ginobli not playing last night screwed me. Ha, another FanDuel addict. Just wait until you start playing weeknight MAC football games. I'm in for a NFL contest this weekend

Gattis is under team control for four more years and has a great bat. He may not be long for catcher, but the Braves still won't give him away cheaply, I think they are looking for a very good return.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 6, 2014 -> 03:43 PM) I don't agree. If Danks velocity hasn't come back, it isn't coming back, and that caps his performance level. That may be true, but I still have such little faith in Hamilton that it doesn't change my opinion.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 6, 2014 -> 03:12 PM) If the cost is low, such as moving Danks and getting another $30 million back, I'd rather take a shot on Hamilton. The money back would be nice, but IMO Danks has a much better chance of becoming a productive major leaguer again than Hamilton does.

Sweet. Matt Harvey or Yasiel Puig or Derek Jeter. Deal.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 6, 2014 -> 02:55 PM) The Sox and Angels would mostly match up in a Danks for Hamilton swap as that would cut about $30 of the $80 million off of the top. There would probably need to be a bit more give to cover 2016, and then a big chunk to cover the year 2017 when Danks contract is over, but Hamilton is still owed $30ish million. I'd rather have Danks without a second thought.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Nov 6, 2014 -> 09:47 AM) Chiefs are "hosting" the Lions in London next year. That sucks. Giving up one of the league's best home field advantages to go over there. Other games are Bills/Jaguars and Dolphins/Jets Chiefs want to to host the Super Bowl, so in order to be considered they needed to host a game in London. Same thing with Miami. The Jaguars are already committed to host a London game every year until 2016.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 6, 2014 -> 12:25 PM) Welcome to 2004. LOL, That's actually when I first signed up for it, when my UIUC e-mail was expiring after graduation. Somebody should have warned me then!

So I guess it's finally time for me to grow up and stop using Yahoo Mail. I'm more surprised when it actually runs smoothly than when it doesn't.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Nov 6, 2014 -> 09:49 AM) He's been bad in the first half of several games this year. Putting up those numbers doesn't change that fact if you'd seen any of the games. Yeah, I thought the numbers clearly show he's been much better in the second half.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Nov 6, 2014 -> 09:22 AM) I think regardless the Bucs will be drafting a QB next spring. Probably in the first round. First step is getting rid of Lovie Smith. I still think Love is a good head coach, but he just need a smart mind to take care of the offense

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 6, 2014 -> 09:21 AM) Joe Donnelley is an idiot. It is really too bad enough friends to become a US Senator. That can be said for the majority of politicians out there.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Nov 6, 2014 -> 09:00 AM) There's a situation where I'd be in favor of this move, simply because it is an upside play. He's 28, he's left-handed, he is under control for 3 years, he would represent a substantial defensive upgrade in LF. However, that situation does NOT include a return of premium prospects. I think that their asking price will be high, but I don't think anyone will give them what they want. After his price comes down a bit, maybe we could get involved. Firstly, the Sox would HAVE to be comfortable with his medicals. Someone mentioned there are rumors that he's got some serious chronic knee issues. If that's the case, then no deal. But if our staff thinks that his injury history is just bad luck or, at the very least, is not indiciative of any specific long0term issues, then I'm in. Secondly, I think the centerpiece of the deal has to come from the second or third tier of our system. Someone like Chris Beck, Rangel Ravelo, or Adam Engel. Thirdly, Viciedo has to go back and represent SOME value. All in all, assuming the Sox get to look at him and don't find signs of chronic injury risk, I'd probably be comfortable with Beck + Viciedo + Trayce Thompson + some random, where the Rockies take on something like a quarter to a third of Gonzalez' salary. Here's why: I think the home/away split thing is way overstated. The fact is, nearly every player has a substantial home/away split. CarGo's is a bit bigger than normal, but just looking at the gap is misleading. You'd have to compare it to the average gap, and you see a much smaller effect. Also, it isn't rational to expect that he'd put up his career Away numbers in his new home park. His home number may be smaller, but they'll still be boosted home numbers. And the Cell is a bandbox too. Finally, this is a good chance to look at his career through the lense of park-adjusted wRC+. Since he got to Colorado, his wRC+ have been: 117, 144, 126, 119, 147, 83. So that's one down year among a whole bunch of great performances even AFTER adjusting for park. The dude can hit. Why is this different than VMart? It's an upside play. It's also risky, but it won't cost as much money and it's got a chance of producing substantial value the entire time he's here. So, I'm not saying I'm DEFINITELY for getting CarGo, but I do think that there is a plausible situation where I would be for it. It's worth us taking a long look, IMO. This is why we keep you around here.

QUOTE (fathom @ Nov 6, 2014 -> 09:05 AM) Yep, nothing would surprise me with Winston. With that said, he's been horrible in the first half basically all season (ND, WF and NC St game, besides the L'ville game) 1st half: 64.7 CMP %, 7.84 YPA, 7 TD, 6 INT, 138.7 Rating 2nd half: 69.9 CMP%, 9.86 YPA, 9 TD, 3 INT, 172.0 Rating

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Nov 6, 2014 -> 08:21 AM) There was a report that came out that suggested Lebron is letting this team sink, letting them learn the hard way that they arent what they think they are. Interesting strategy Well the East is so bad they will still probably make the playoffs, and that's all that matters. The only downside could be facing the Bulls in an earlier round.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Nov 6, 2014 -> 08:02 AM) woooo boy is Kyrie getting the pariah treatment already. 23 shots and 0 assists, lolZ Kyrie. Kobe. Kobe. Kyrie.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Nov 6, 2014 -> 07:48 AM) That was a very uncharacteristically poor first half by Jameis last week, wasn't it? http://ibnsportswrap.com/article.php?articleID=1716 Well s***, if Incarcerated Bob says so, how can it not be true?

Bradley Center was 1/3 Bucks fans, 1/3 Bulls fans, 1/3 empty. Place must be a ghost town against other teams

QUOTE (zenryan @ Nov 5, 2014 -> 02:15 PM) Mike Glennon sucks. Amazing how anyone ever thought this guy had potential. I guess those people never watched him actually play. The Buccs are not gonna make the playoffs this year and McCown will be 36 in 2015. At least give Glennon 8 more games to prove he sucks and finally cut him in the offseason.
