QUOTE (Kenny Hates Prospects @ Jun 27, 2010 -> 12:02 AM) AGon - winning or not the Pads could move him, but they probably won't now, and he'll be uber expensive Amazingly, I could still see Kenny just pulling AGon from nowhere without giving up Gordon. That being said, I think LaRoche is the most likely and then Dunn.

Did anyone see Vernon Wells toss to Jays fan at the Phillies game?

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jun 26, 2010 -> 03:17 PM) I am very much looking forward to Asik. Will probably take over for Miller on the roster and he could be a very good bench guy. Athletic, big and plays D. I too am excited about Asik. QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 26, 2010 -> 03:34 PM) It's entirely possible Miller could be resigned as well. If Deng gets traded, I think Brad is resigned. It's either here or Houston for him, and he would get just enough playing time to keep his knees intact, where he could very well be the starter if Yao goes down again. Plus, I'd like to see Miller teach Asik an offensive game, as Noah & Taj were quoted last year about how valuable a teacher Brad was for things like a catch & shoot.

My god...send Dayan down. He has no place on the bench.

Jon Greenburg is an incredibly sarcastic writer (I actually like him) so it's sarcasm.

Just Side Note: Bulls signed Gonzaga guard Matt Bouldin, bringing the summer league roster too: Joe Alexander James Johnson Rob Kurz Matt Bouldin Omer Asik (probably) Already love this guy (from his twitter)

QUOTE (DrunkBomber @ Jun 25, 2010 -> 08:04 PM) There are 3 certified nutjobs in sports. Z, Milton Bradley and Ron Artest. Funny to think 2 were on the same team at onetime. Artest to Cubs?

Fun Fact: Players can tag up to balls hit into foul territory.

1992, so 16 years late to the party.

Funnily enough, I met an assistant to Ozzie's dentist when I went to camp early this summer, he was my counselor. He too, said Oney is an ass.

Lets turn it up to ELEVEN

QUOTE (sircaffey @ Jun 25, 2010 -> 05:48 PM) Sure he has a purpose. You need a quality 6th man that can rebound and score. It'd be nice if he didn't make so much money, but if Deng doesn't stand in the way from signing LeBron and Bosh then he's worth keeping. Not to mention when Deng is on the floor with Rose and LeBron, he runs the floor very well and his mid-range game is money. The perfect type of 6th man is Kirk (defense, good combo guard) or Ben (instant offense)...definitely not Deng. In fact, it seems like Gibson will become the 6th man for defensive purposes. Plus, for his contract it's not a "it'd be nice if he didn't make so much money" as it is a "For that contract, he has to play or be traded" and when trading him clears up room for a Ray Allen type shooter, you do it. For what its worth, my gut tells me Deng will be in Sacramento for a future pick.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Jun 25, 2010 -> 04:49 PM) I'll take it, it was a rocket but right at Colvin. Any good from Gordon's bat is awesome. Like I said, the Cubs series his last stand to stay in the bigs, and he's showing he wants to stay.

The fire has been lit for Gordon. I hope.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 25, 2010 -> 02:38 PM) That dude does have a point. Fangraphs and other Sabermetric oriented sites we're blowin' their loads all offseason over the Mariners. Defense is nice. But you still have to score. It was pretty clear the Mariners were going to struggle mightily offensively. But that was overlooked because I guess the Mariners were supposed to be able to win every game 1-0 with the defense saving 10 runs a game. Sorry, not in this era or this league. No kidding. I thought the Mariners would win the AL West, but I also thought that because I thought the AL West would suck and they could get more then 1 run a game. But seriously, I never understood the hate for the White Sox that every single publication always seems to have. QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 25, 2010 -> 02:39 PM) Agreed. I think they would have the Padres record if they were an NL team... The Sox would be a 100 win team in the NL. Right now.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 25, 2010 -> 04:08 PM) There's no way they sign Lebron and don't move Deng to fill their bench. No way. One can hope.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Jun 25, 2010 -> 02:54 PM) On what planet does Hinrich give more production on the court than Deng? They were able to find a taker for him because he is making less money and is signed for less years. Luol Deng PER last year was 16.1 (league average is 15) Hinrich's was 11.6, TS% was .531 Hinrich's was .501, Deng has higher rebounding rates, a lower turnover percentage and a higher usage rate than Hinrich. He has also had a higher number of win shares each of the last 4 years. The only area where Hinrich trumps Deng is in assist rate. You can look at basically any statistical analysis or just watch the Bulls play and it is clear Deng is the better player. http://www.82games.com/0910/0910CHI.HTM On the planet where we have LeBron James, Chris Bosh, and 2M more cap space. Kirk Hinrich just fits and rounds out a starting five of Rose/LeBron/Bosh/Noah better than Deng. Sure, he's no great shooter, but he takes pressure off of Rose to defend the tougher guard and thats not taking into account Hinrich's team first attitude compared to Deng's me first attitude. Plus, that $2M could go towards a 3pt shooter. Now, that being said if I'm starting a team and have to pick either Deng or Hinrich to build around, it's Deng.

If WWW really said those things...then holy ****. That makes me far less sad about Kirk (still miffed And I didn't mean the 5yr/55M contracts Deng & Ben were offered. I meant the 6yr/71M Deng contract that ultimately drove BG out of town and now Kirk. And trust me, I have never liked Deng, even when everyone said he was going to be an All-Star.

The Crawford ship has sailed, and I remember Kenny trying a Q-Crawford swap this offseason.
