QUOTE (ZoomSlowik @ Aug 3, 2015 -> 08:15 PM) I had fun with the actual collecting, but that mode gets really repetitive. They need to add something else to vary things a bit. Mine is something like this... 1) Gordon 2) Pollock 3) Braun/Dickerson Platoon 4) Abreu 5) Martinez/occasionally Upton 6) Frazier 7) Vogt/Norris platton 8) Crawford I got basically all of those guys pretty cheap and put most of my assets into my rotation. I've got Seaver, Harvey, Kluber, Cole and Keuchel/DeGrom (should have grabbed Grienke before he jumped to a diamond). lol you're on another level with your rotation

I've been playing Diamond Dynasty recently and I've finally built a pretty decent team. With the new roster updates, I was able to nab Puig, Rizzo, Shields, and Kipnis. My lineup: 1. Hamilton 2. Reyes 3. Puig 4. Rizzo 5. Bautista 6. Machado 7. Kipnis 8. Lucroy 9. Archer

I feel like he's a little too inconsistent to give ace money to. A great example would be the start today.

Umpire did an absolutely terrible job enforcing the warning he gave in the first inning. Blue Jays had every right to be pissed.

Damn Valencia's solid. He'd be great to have.

I hate Kurt Suzuki

Nice win. We have a nice shot of taking the series tomorrow with Shark going.

I like how Hawk had nothing to say about that double play. Lexi and Sanchez made that look easy.

Apparently Danks is really good against good teams...I don't get it.

I'm scared every time Duke pitches. He serves up HRs better than anyone else in the bullpen.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 1, 2015 -> 08:27 PM) Nice to see the Danks support! I like it. Soon, someday you all will be joining me on the Danks bandwagon. Believe me, Greg is good at the eye test. The eye test tells me Danks is a very good pitcher still coming back from the injury. I love the way he competes. I love the way he works fast. I love JOHN DANKS! It's been two years dude. He's never going to be the guy he was before the shoulder injury. He'll be a guy who can throw in the high 80s for the rest of his career.

You either buy or sell. Either you think you can make the postseason and strengthen that thought by adding a bat or you sell because you don't think you have enough. Don't just sit there and think we have enough, because honestly we don't.

So our lone acquisition is...Justin Sellers?

W/o trading Samardzija, CWS lacked chipto win bidding. lol what? The Tigers got two two prospects I've never heard of from the Mets. How did we lack the chips?

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 31, 2015 -> 02:58 PM) It was 1 minute after. I must have read it 20 minutes after.

Patience guys, I remember the Peavy deal didn't surface until 20 minutes after the deadline in 2009.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 31, 2015 -> 02:57 PM) Wow, Levine got something right and he got a shoutout from Rosenthal lol I was like, Levine broke a trade? What?

I bet the prospects aren't that good. Tigers probably didn't want to help the Sox out.

QUOTE (Frank_Thomas35 @ Jul 31, 2015 -> 02:49 PM) Maybe we don't but it's been said all am the mets have a bigger need at CF than at the Corner so maybe they get Davis and we get Ceapedes. The Mets need a bat way more than we do IMO. Plus, they have more to give and are probably more willing to overpay.

Mets are way more desperate than we are. Figures that they would outbid us.

Why the hell would we want Rajai Davis?

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 31, 2015 -> 12:31 PM) His Twitter handle is @ithrow88. Buehrle should be @ithrow83 He's actually throwing 86 this year. No surprise why he gives up so many HRs.

Well he'll be fun to watch when the wind's blowing out at Wrigley. He gives up a lot of HRs as is.

I feel like Detroit is almost going to be forced to trade Cespedes if they want him back next year. I could be wrong on this, but I think there's some weird clause in his contract that he can't re-sign with the team if he's not extended before the end of the season. I think he's going to price himself out of a lot of teams' budgets, especially with the season he's had.

QUOTE (Knackattack @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 08:36 PM) Is Chris hurting? Got hit above the knee on a hard come backer in the first.
