QUOTE (Marty34 @ Nov 30, 2011 -> 11:44 AM) Santos is closer to being Jesse Crain than he is to being Jonathon Papelbon. Cost-effective and good instead of overpaid and bad?

QUOTE (VictoryMC98 @ Nov 30, 2011 -> 03:48 PM) That's simple Alex Rios to PittsBurgh for McCutchen and Jameson Taillon Jake Peavy to Rays for Jeremy Hellickson and Desmond Jennings Adam Dunn to royals for Eric Hosmer and Lorenzo Cain Gordon Beckham to the Blue Jays for Brett Lawrie All our problems are solved! I like this new Victory. Also, from Grantland. What They'll Likely Do: Make a hell of a lot of trades. Few GMs have been more aggressive in reshaping their ball clubs over the past few years than Kenny Williams. Rumors out of the South Side have him shopping one of his top starters (John Danks or Gavin Floyd) despite Buehrle's likely departure, while also dangling slugging right fielder and solid lefty setup man Matt Thornton.

QUOTE (dasox24 @ Nov 30, 2011 -> 03:41 PM) Hey Mizzou fans, yall should definitely consider making the trip to Knoxville next Fall. 11/10. Mark it on your calendars. I'm game.

So, Minnie's son asked my dad to write a letter arguing for his entrance into the Hall of Fame. Thank god my dad is good with words.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Nov 30, 2011 -> 02:17 PM) The question that I am sure KW is struggling with is do you wait to see what they do in 2012? If they aren't performing I would argue that putting them on waivers in hopes someone makes the same move KW did with Rios might work. Or you start going through the team list offering them up in a trade. You might have to eat half the salary, but it's still only 50% of what you wil be paying to keep them on the team. Won't happen, as KW showed it's a bad gamble. Try again.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Nov 30, 2011 -> 02:14 PM) Someone from the Braves scouting department? Well, sign me up! f*** yes.

Cutler possibly out for year.

QUOTE (bmags @ Nov 29, 2011 -> 09:06 AM) Please tell me you won't feed into the perpetual student fantasies of firing every offensive coach. No, pretty much gave the Tigers Offense a C+ for KU game, D an A, gave them a B for the season overall, said they'll most likely go to the Holiday Bowl, MVP to Josey, and that they'll fare better then expected in the SEC next year if Josey returns, Franklin continues to grow, and they defy the odds and snag DGB.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Nov 30, 2011 -> 12:58 PM) I know Mr Milkman only you have common sense. Well, you and a few others that share your feelings. If you want to make things personal then tell me something that has been suggested that isn't "common sense?" Anything you say and I say are opinions and only opinions. You have a knack for making comments that seem like atatcks on others who you disagree with. You would not do well in a debate. If the high priced non performer is dragging the team down then you get rid of them. Try to get something for them, or release them. You don't keep them on the team where they strangle you. I hoe these charactters meaning Rios and Dunn can turn things around in 2012. If not we had better be looking at some plan. Who do you propose will take these high paid nonperformers off our hands? And how? And why?

QUOTE (DukeNukeEm @ Nov 30, 2011 -> 10:33 AM) Intentional or unintentional? Unintentional

I'd still take Roy, just don't play him heavy. We do have Brewer and Korver to relieve him plenty.

LeBron in Ohio. This bad.

QUOTE (knightni @ Nov 29, 2011 -> 11:03 AM) Sorry got you and kyyle's list name switched. It's all good knight, you're doing this for everyone here's fun. I was just really, really confused.

Um...didn't vote for Max Cady, and he's 15 on my list? Awkward...

Going on Mizzou's student TV station tomorrow as a football analyst. Oh boy.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Nov 28, 2011 -> 04:26 PM) Oops, i read an article the other day about him hanging around DRose and I thought it said something about him being Rose's backup. Nah. He's working on his ball handling and he can defend the 2, so hopefully he could become a SG in the future.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Nov 28, 2011 -> 04:12 PM) other PG that the Bulls just drafted. You mean Jimmy Butler, the 6-7 Luol Deng clone?

Gotta love Gavin.

QUOTE (VictoryMC98 @ Nov 28, 2011 -> 11:16 AM) Are you Juan Williams? But seriously hoping Rock's source is right.

I hate the world.

Dear God Heads, I said I was being a smartass. You and Dan both need to calm down super fast. Conference realignment sucks. Mizzou should have handled it better by clearly stating its intentions. Texas shouldn't have put such a stranglehold on the conference. You're getting WVU and TCU, so it will remain a BCS conference (at least I think), so relax. You know who's getting left out in the cold though? Baylor, Kansas, K-State, and Iowa State. Mizzou was with them and jumped ship and I wouldn't blame any of those four for doing the same.

Ok guys, start coughing up the cigars and rum. The latter is mainly you J4L.

QUOTE (DrunkBomber @ Nov 27, 2011 -> 05:42 PM) I cant say I recall a single person in the entire world claiming there was a qb controversy at any point between Hanie and Cutler I knew about 10 people who said it, someone on ESPN suggested it, and the Score and ESPN 1000 kept mocking callers who said it. This was right after the NFC Championship.

Remember the Hanie-Cutler "QB controversy"? f*** that and everyone who suggested it.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Nov 27, 2011 -> 09:59 AM) What in the bluef*** is a "pure hitter"? Wasn't Gordon Beckham a "pure hitter"? He sure looked like one coming up. I think Viciedo is a "pure hitter" too. I think of Tony Gwynn as a "pure hitter." I think of Wade Boggs as a "pure hitter." Wasn't Sean Burroughs a pure hitter too? So, uh, stats be damned, dude's a "pure hitter", let's get rid of the other face of the franchise for him and f*** s*** up? Sorry, I need atleast Bailey coming back before I'd even consider any type of swap of Danks and Alonso. Guys with that type of minor league record really, really, really don't impress me. Here's James Loney and Brett Wallace's career AAA numbers as well as their K% Loney - .341/.394/.482/.877, 12.3% Wallace - .306/.367/.484/.851, 19.4% Here's Yonder Alonso .296/.364/.478/.842, 15.9% So, at best, he is in between them (because Wallace did that with 4 different organizations), and at worst (and probably more realistically), he is worse than those two. And isn't James Loney a "pure hitter" too? --- So what is a pure hitter again? I'd do Bailey and Alonso for Danks in a heartbeat.
