QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 31, 2014 -> 11:59 AM) Was being the key word. Certainly his acquistion shouldn't be heralded as wow, when the price was a pretty good pitcher. That's not the point. If you have a track record of doing something over 1200 PA, sucking in 400 PA doesn't mean you're now terrible. Especially when Craig's only 30. He's not 35. Viciedo's never had sustained success at the big league level. His best season featured a 99 wRC+. That's the definition of mediocre at best.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 31, 2014 -> 11:55 AM) Craig and Viciedo have identical OPS. Except Allen Craig was a .300+ hitter for two full seasons before this year.

QUOTE (knightni @ Jul 31, 2014 -> 11:54 AM) Jeff Passan: Yankees looking for incremental upgrades, not big pieces. Danks is not a big piece.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 31, 2014 -> 11:53 AM) That's how you "rebuild" for next season. They've done it once already.

Red Sox are doing pretty great today. Cespdes, Craig, and Kelly for Lester, Lackey, and Gomes.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 31, 2014 -> 10:27 AM) Who cares...at this point, you're trying to win a World Series. Every little bit helps. I guess they needed Fuld after Gentry got hurt.

Did the A's seriously just re-acquire somebody they let go THIS year for Milone? Ugh. Sox are going to struggle against Milone for years to come, I think I know that much. Twins got him for basically nothing.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 30, 2014 -> 08:20 PM) I guess Corey Kluber is for real, huh. Wow. He was for real last year.

Now this was a trade I did not expect. Billy Beane is going all out. Oakland's probably gonna play a platoon of Reddick and Gomes with Gentry and Crisp as their regular OFers.

I haven't dealt with malware in years... In the end, it's really about what you click on.

Why would they want to trade Keuchel?

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jul 28, 2014 -> 05:06 PM) I guess he hurt his knee on that last play ???

Eaton has talent. It's his ability to get hurt that worries me. He's had nagging injuries all year. If he were truly healthy, he's probably a .300 hitter.

Still a Cub-killer.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Jul 26, 2014 -> 05:48 PM) They're also as big as one of our states. If the US was as big as Minnesota, we'd all have 10000000000000 mbit right now. EDIT: Scratch that...both North Korea and South Korea COMBINED are as big as one of our states. No we wouldn't, because the cable companies would have too much pleasure watching us pay more for s***ty internet.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Jul 26, 2014 -> 05:40 PM) The national average for South Korea last year was ~20 Mbps. So, uh...no, they wouldn't. I'm sure some have crazy fast speeds but a lot don't. http://motherboard.vice.com/blog/south-kor...ster-than-yours http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_in_South_Korea Is it faster than most of the US, yes...but does the average South Korean have 100+mbit...no they do not. They may in the future, but who cares, so will I. The average American doesn't get 100 mbit either. The article you linked says South Korea has the fastest internet in the world at an average of 21 mbps. Their infrastructure was built a lot later than ours, so it's a bit more modern, this is especially true of their cellular networks.

QUOTE (Sonik22 @ Jul 26, 2014 -> 08:53 AM) Felipe Luis to Chelsea as well. The blues are absolutely stacked. Excited to see what the plan is with Cech and Courtois One of them will get transfered and it won't be the much younger one. Cech is still really good though.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jul 26, 2014 -> 01:49 PM) Escobar was 56 in Baseball America's preseason top 100. So better by the single, limited metric. He's struggled this year but that's as a 22 year old pitcher in the PCL. Quite the return for Peavy Seriously. Peavy's been worse than pretty much every regular starter on the Sox this year and they got a lot for him. Not to mention he's owed like $6 million for the rest of the year. This makes me like our chance of getting rid of Danks.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 25, 2014 -> 03:45 PM) I [heart] Jo. K.C. Johnson ‏@KCJHoop 6m Noah: "I'm happy for LeBron. He gets to go home; people are happy over there. I really hope we can kick his ass as many times as possible." You guys think Cleveland's cool? Who says "I'm going to Cleveland on vacation"?

The Bears should be pretty beastly to play with this year in Madden 15. Marshall's a 96 and Forte is a 95. Both higher than what they had been in previous years. Add in Jeffery (probably high 80s or low 90s) and Bennett (mid 80s) and that's one hell of an offense.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 25, 2014 -> 11:34 AM) RUMOR Bulls receive: Kevin Martin, Tristan Thompson, Dion Waiters Cavs receive: Kevin Love, Mike Dunleavey Jr, Gorgui Dieng Timberwolves receive: Andrew Wiggins, John Lucas III, Erik Murphy, Taj Gibson, Tony Snell That's terrible.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Jul 22, 2014 -> 09:53 PM) Atletico got raided this offseason. They won't be much of a contender. Yup, Costa and Courtois are both gone.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Jul 24, 2014 -> 02:02 PM) Mariners acquire Kendry Morales for Stephen Pryor. Confusing Umm...why didn't they just sign him when he was a free agent for half the season?

Can we please start hitting Gillaspie second? Having Beckham hit there is painful.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 23, 2014 -> 01:38 PM) They aren't even the biggest cock tease in Chicago as long as the Cubs are still around Delusional people deserve it.
