QUOTE (Andy the Clown @ Jul 4, 2012 -> 10:22 PM) They will. Trust me. Sincerely, The Pythagorean Theorem A^2 + B^2 = C^2?

They better save some runs for the rest of the series.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 1, 2012 -> 01:39 PM) Why would you worry about something like that? What risk? He tries to hit a bomb every at bat. What risk were you referring to? You have no idea how something like a HR derby can affect a hitter, even if he does tend to swing for home runs in most of his PAs.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 1, 2012 -> 09:11 PM) I don't believe this. You can find guys like Asik in the NBDL. He reminds me of Tree Rollins. Let Houston, etc, be stupid. Worry about Taj. Don't worry about Asik. Houston's been going after a legit big man for a while now. Asik, however, isn't legit.

QUOTE (RZZZA @ Jul 1, 2012 -> 07:43 PM) Taj plays a different position than Asik, lol Why do people keep saying don't match? You realize we lose him for nothing then right? Are you guys happy to lose a guy we drafted and developed, who has tremendous value in todays NBA, for nothing? I hope our GM isn't this shortsighted At best you work a sign and trade and get something of value back in return, but I don't really know how likely that is. This team is not in a position to pay a backup center that much money.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jun 30, 2012 -> 10:19 AM) Leyson Septimo's Twitter page: https://twitter.com/leyson7mo Let's get our new LOOGY some followers. I think it's his, at least. Leyson Septimo is awfully good. That slider of his is nasty.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 1, 2012 -> 12:34 PM) Good luck beating Yu Yu can only beat yourself.

What the f***? $15 million for Asik in third year? Are they crazy? Please do not match.

Can somebody explain why Matt Harrison got in over Peavy? I hate all-star game manager bias.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Jul 1, 2012 -> 05:59 PM) Wieters OPS: .778 Pierzynski OPS: .849 Um, what? Players and opposing managers don't like A.J. It is what it is.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jul 1, 2012 -> 05:44 PM) Michael Sweetney was a pretty efficient scorer down low too. Yeah, for one season. http://www.basketball-reference.com/players/s/sweetmi01.html Hibbert is a good center. He's not all that efficient, though (.539 TS% in his best year). I wouldn't put him in the same tier as Horford, Noah, or Monroe. Those guys are far more efficient.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jul 1, 2012 -> 12:41 PM) It said he was a player selection. The guys in the AL must like this dude, or want to see him drop bombs in the HR Derby. I don't know if I want Dunn participating in the HR derby. It'll make that event a hell of a lot more enjoyable, but at what risk?

I'm surprised Dunn made it since he's hitting .215.

All pitchers? Hmmm... Honestly though, why was Peavy not on the team to begin with? He's top 5 in WHIP and ERA I believe (if not top 6). I don't think I'll vote, I'd rather let Jake rest the entire time.

LMAO David Wright isn't starting for the NL at 3B? Is this some sort of a sick joke?

He'll be on the final vote ballot again and he'll probably win. He's been the second best C in the AL this year (next to Mauer), but he's definitely been the best power hitting catcher in baseball.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 1, 2012 -> 12:30 PM) It looks like he's at the beginning of his annual 6 week role. Its a good time to pick him up. Don't forget to dump him when the time is right. I should have learned that the first time around. I caught like maybe 3 good starts, then he started giving me a ton of negative value starts...

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 1, 2012 -> 12:12 PM) OPS by first baseman in the AL: 1. Paul Konerko .969 2. Prince Fielder .856 3. Chris Davis .802 4. Albert Pujols .789 5. Mark Teixeira .772. Really, I don't even need to bother with other stats. My word he's blowing the rest of the league out of the water. I still can't believe people voted so much for Fatass Fielder.

Gavin Floyd is now on one of my fantasy teams. I hope that doesn't screw anything up.

QUOTE (RZZZA @ Jul 1, 2012 -> 11:21 AM) If Asik leaves for nothing I'm gonna be PISSED. We could have traded him last year for O.J. Mayo or Courtney Lee. O.J. Mayo is a a URFA now. I wonder how much money he'll sign for.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 1, 2012 -> 11:31 AM) That's awesome. And expected.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Jul 1, 2012 -> 07:23 AM) better than our starting PF.... I wish we can combine him and Boozer.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 29, 2012 -> 11:30 PM) Went and saw Ted tonight and enjoyed it. It's basically Family Guy if it was on HBO with a talking teddy bear. Just went to see it, it is exactly what fathom said.

I would have felt bad for Jake today had he not given up 3 bombs... and those 2 extra base hits to Dwayne Wise... 11 Ks are nice, but it doesn't really matter when you give up 3 home runs.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 30, 2012 -> 05:07 PM) Thome traded to Orioles Looks like the unloading has begun in Philadelphia.
