http://www.csnchicago.com/bulls/overcalcul...ng-bulls-season In that Vincent Goodwill piece, it talks about the Kings/Bulls deadline deal that didn't happen and also about how Bulls/Celtics talked about a Butler trade but the Bulls insisted on Jae Crowder and Boston balked. Interesting stuff.

QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 13, 2016 -> 10:21 AM) 2 weeks away from the most boring 12 hours that I am absolutely captivated by. Seems incredibly difficult to pinpoint the Bears on this one, which is fun. Oh yeah baby. It's my favorite non-sports sporting event on the calendar. Can't get enough.

Good f***ing Riddance.

The White Sox are in 1st place. I also don't believe that they'll remain in 1st place with one of the 5 worst players in baseball as the primary DH. I think they know this though. Travis Ishikawa is bad. Garcia is too though and having Sands and Garcia on the roster is pointless. Sands should receive at-bats vs LHP but that's also the only time that Garcia should play. David Murphy is available and looking for work and would be a better bench option than Sands, Garcia, or Shuck. I think Garcia will get replaced because they tried to replace him all offseason.

Keith Law's list is usually very different from most publications. He's not a huge fan of the top of this class.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Apr 12, 2016 -> 11:57 AM) With the Bulls doctors, I don't blame him. I'm sorry but I do. The next step in the rehab process was playing in games. He wanted to feel 100% before doing so. It doesn't work that way.

QUOTE (winninguglyin83 @ Apr 12, 2016 -> 11:01 AM) Isn't Zavala 0-16 with 11 Ks? Straight outta the Tyler Flowers' playbook. He's been good defensively and has thrown out runners. Keep box score scouting if you'd like though.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Apr 11, 2016 -> 08:30 PM) I still say that's a byproduct of how we was treated during his injury. He used to be someone that would die on the court, but he got ripped for getting hurt, got ripped for trying to stay healthy, etc. No. He got ripped for thinking he knows more than doctors do. He stayed out way longer than was necessary.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Apr 11, 2016 -> 08:39 PM) Still don't get the Brennan hype. Dude is not good and barely a prospect in my eyes. I think he's a reliever.

QUOTE (Jose Paniagua @ Apr 11, 2016 -> 11:56 AM) Navarro will be facing a righty. Hm. I am still not clear if the Sox are assigning catchers to pitchers somewhat, or if it's based on pro-offense matchups Navarro has hit well vs LHP in his career but he is a switch hitter.

Good take by Bernstein as well: http://chicago.cbslocal.com/2016/04/11/ber...to-these-bulls/

Ben Badler wrote about his Top 20 DSL/VSL prospects. There's a snippet on White Sox C Carlos Perez in there. It's subscription though: http://www.baseballamerica.com/internation...r1CGqyoTUSzS.97

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Apr 9, 2016 -> 04:42 PM) What happened if you don't mind me asking? It was awful in general. I arrived at about 12:15. There were lines outside the stadium up until past first pitch. They shut down the Upper Deck because of ice but they didn't let anyone in the stadium until about 12:45. I didn't get inside until the 2nd inning. It was just really s***ty planning. Then the food and drink lines were horrendous and the workers just took forever. It was absolutely the worst experience I've ever had a Sox game. It's never like that. I did get a voucher for any April/May home game though.

I'll be there as well.

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 8, 2016 -> 02:37 PM) First pitch tomorrow supposed to be 35 with a real feel of 28. They could definitely play the "inclement weather" card tomorrow. Those hats will come in handy. Baseball players are weak.

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 8, 2016 -> 02:28 PM) You're right. A lot of players and others have been wearing them today. Magnetic schedules today. Hats tomorrow--so those will be given out in May. They'll get tomorrow's game in I think. I hope so anyway. I'll be in attendance. Supposed to be less than 40 degrees but no precipitin in the forecast for tomorrow.

QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 7, 2016 -> 01:43 PM) I heard Sam Hinkie is available. I'd rather have Hinkie than our management group. At least Hinkie has a vision and a plan.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 8, 2016 -> 08:58 AM) Wouldn't Miguel Gonzalez be the most likely candidate to replace Latos/Danks? Absolutely. He's the next man up.

This guy runs some hitting facility and tweeted this to Jon Heyman. Canyonside Cages ‏@DavidRing4 19h19 hours ago San Diego, CA @JonHeyman ⚾️Talked to James Loney Padres, White Sox, Angels, Yankees & Tigers interested. Has family in San Diego and they need hitting.

This is a pretty solid move for the White Sox. Pretty PR savvy.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Apr 6, 2016 -> 09:05 PM) I'm going to try to figure them all out. Chris Sale (CWS), Carlos Rodon (CWS), Jake Petricka (CWS), Tyler Saladino (CWS), Nate Jones (CWS), Trayce Thompson (LAD), Josh Phegley (OAK), Marcus Semien (OAK), Chris Bassitt (OAK), Mike Morse (PIT), Chris Young (BOS), Chris Stewart (PIT), Boone Logan (COL), Brandon McCarthy (LAD), Gio Gonzalez (WAS), Carlos Torres (MIL), Clayton Richard (CHC), Hector Santiago (LAA), Gordon Beckham (ATL), Daniel Hudson (ARI), Addison Reed (NYM) I was doing it in my head and missed Richard, Logan, and Torres. Damn. Is Ryan Sweeney out of baseball?

Sam Hinkie has resigned as GM of the 76ers. Makes sense. Colangelo was hired as Team President and he's most likely bringing in his son Bryan Colangelo as GM. I would have left to if I were Hinkie.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 6, 2016 -> 02:21 PM) Was listening to Rush Limbaugh in the car and he said exactly what I said recently!! He laughed and said, "Bernie has won, what six of the last seven? Five of the last six?" and all you hear from the media is how Hillary is about to wrap it up. The media is hilarious. The story should be Bernie kicking her ass of late and nothing. My gosh ... why does the media want her in office so badly? They refuse to give Bernie his due. Because he has no chance. He's not winning. Hillary will receive the nomination.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 6, 2016 -> 03:41 PM) He's just mediocre. A 3.76 xfip, average fastball is 93 MPH, and over 3 walks per 9 innings last year. He is what he is. Has some decent movement that makes up for lack of pure velocity out of the pen but walks way too many guys and doesn't miss enough bats to be a high leverage reliever. I'd use him against RHP before Duke, but I'd probably rate Jennings as a little better just because he misses more bats. They both have issues with walks. Patrick's Hits/Walks to K rate is really bad. He doesn't strike anyone out.

QUOTE (TheTruth05 @ Apr 6, 2016 -> 09:49 AM) So I think Avi should sit today. I don't have anyone to play for him though. They decided not to take anyone who hits RHP on their bench.
