Joey Votto to miss 3-4 weeks with a torn meniscus in his left knee

Youk

Tank

PK14

He's also the poster child for steroids Hawk.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jul 16, 2012 -> 07:00 PM) Youk working on a cycle. He should have a single & homer already, stupid large wall in left field

LOL at the applause for Youk

QUOTE (pittshoganerkoff @ Jul 16, 2012 -> 05:24 PM) If that's the case, then he's not going to command upwards of $20 million/year. Teams like Milwaukee, Pittsburgh, Kansas City, the Sox, etc. can't and/or won't pay that much. If he couldn't handle New York, Boston, or LA, he's going to be underpaid. Before they trade him, the Brewers will offer him a 5 year, $100 million extension.

1 run in 2 innings so far? That's a success for DA

Any Illini fans see the home schedule this year? It should lead to a lot of wins, but holy hell is it unexciting. W. Michigan Charleston Southern La. Tech Penn State Indiana Minnesota Purdue

That hurts

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jul 16, 2012 -> 04:40 PM) Fair market deal for Forte but I just dont see the point in giving a rb a long term deal. Odds are that Forte will be useless by the 3rd or 4th year of the deal. Then you cut him, it's the NFL

QUOTE (pittshoganerkoff @ Jul 16, 2012 -> 03:47 PM) I'm assuming he means there's a small market for him due to the cost? Otherwise...well, otherwise it makes no sense. I assume he meant that Greinke is a small market pitcher due to this anxierty disorder. He can't mentally handle pitching in a big market with the added pressure. (Not that anyone goes to Sox games anyway)

Bummer. Hope he can find a MLB job somewhere.

Adam Schefter ‏@AdamSchefter Ray Rice signed a five-year, $40 million contract that includes $17 million in year one and $25 million in the first two years.

QUOTE (RZZZA @ Jul 16, 2012 -> 01:38 PM) Any word of a lineup? Paul Konerko playing? He better start hitting if we want to have any shot of scoring more than 4 runs Normal everyday lineup ADA Youk Dunn PK Rios AJP Tank Alexei Gordo

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jul 16, 2012 -> 01:20 PM) No Thank You on Pierre. One of my biggest joys watching the Sox this year is the sheer fact that Juan Pierre is no longer on the baseball team. He is a terrible baseball player and an example of why sometimes stats can be deceiving. Viciedo's bat needs to stay in the lineup and Dayan is even a better OF than Pierre is. I can't even believe that Pierre was suggested. Like

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Jul 16, 2012 -> 01:14 PM) Viciedo makes too many outs against RH'ers. If he continues to do so, Pierre's .385 obp is an excellent way to upgrade a weakness cheaply. .385 is his slugging %. His career high OBP is .378, he is at .354 this year.

QUOTE (chimpy2121 @ Jul 16, 2012 -> 12:56 PM) Suntimes is reporting $18 mil guaranteed. A little more than Lynch got, but less than McCoy & Foster, sounds about right relatively. A little higher than I thought the Bears would go though.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 16, 2012 -> 11:56 AM) I'm guessing anywhere from $16-24 million guaranteed. I thought I heard that Forte was looking for $20 mil, while the Bears were offering closer to $15 mil

QUOTE (WHarris1 @ Jul 16, 2012 -> 11:44 AM) Schefter reports an average of 8 mil per year That means nothing in the NFL world. Need to find out how much guaranteed.

QUOTE (everafan @ Jul 16, 2012 -> 11:06 AM) But the Cubs would be silly not to get something for him now and resign him in a few months. Agreed. I was just commenting on the "see him go for nothing".

QUOTE (everafan @ Jul 16, 2012 -> 10:56 AM) Right on, right on - no one is going to overpay for a 6 month rental - mid level prospect gets it done. Cubs have to dump him or see him go for nothing. By all accounts, he is gonna be a Cub in 2013, trade or no trade.
