QUOTE (Deadpool @ Jun 30, 2016 -> 10:48 AM) There's nothing Rose can do in one year to really make this Gar decision look bad and any contract longer than 2 years for Noah is going to be a bad contract (most likely) Look, I'm just trying to see how much the universe hates Gar.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Jun 30, 2016 -> 10:47 AM) Agree with both of you. I can't crush Hahn for this. Now he has a job to do and well what he does (even though I want to see a rebuild). Ynoa hasn't been terrible. He's been by no means great, but not terrible. If Burdi ends up in the BP this season, that'd be an incredibly strange way of turning the Shark trade into two BP arms that could be crucial down the stretch.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jun 30, 2016 -> 10:39 AM) Watch the Bulls tank next year for a high pick and get a karma b****slap from getting Rose at #1 and end up in the bottom of the lottery And somehow Rose and Noah defy the impossible and become productive players again, with Rose becoming an All-Star. Pau also puts up All-Star numbers somewhere else. Because Gar angered the universe.

Ok Matt, time to shine.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Jun 30, 2016 -> 10:29 AM) That's what happens when you lose 2 mainstays in the pen to injury, plus another guy who was supposed to contribute. Hard to recover from that without making trades or getting lucky. Yeah, at the beginning of the year the pen was on fire. Then Petricka went down. Then Albers lost it. Then Putnam went down. Kinda hard to come through that unscathed.

QUOTE (BrianAnderson @ Jun 30, 2016 -> 09:52 AM) This move is a bit of desperation .. Davidson at his best will come up at hit ...240 and provide some power. Any extended stay and he'll be absolutely Hopefully h'll hit like 3 dingers this week.. much rather see May Well guess we should just never make moves. And May would be the wrong callup right now. They need a 1B/3B, not another OF.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jun 30, 2016 -> 10:11 AM) A great Chicagoan too. He and Rose both. They cared about the kids in this city, which might be what makes this sting more.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 30, 2016 -> 08:40 AM) Daniel Moscow on the Hudson Junior Mints Guerra Chris The Dragon Devenski Addison Blame It on Reed (close enough to Rio, works better with Jose Rijo though) Addison Reeds and Woodwinds Joe Be My Valentine Well f***ing played.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 29, 2016 -> 06:55 PM) Other than Finnegan, none of the "top pitching prospects" the Royals have traded away have amounted to much of anything as starters. Well, theoretically, you can also include Jake Odorizzi from the original trade in 2012-13 offseason for Shields/Davis. Any random low-A arms that we're traded years ago are now warm MLB bodies and have cool nicknames? If you keep bringing up Devenski, might as well bring up Odorizzi and others.

Why does Greg want to dump Lawrie?

QUOTE (Black_Jack29 @ Jun 21, 2016 -> 01:19 PM) This season, yes. Prior to this season, his numbers would make him a #2 on a lot of teams. Nope, prior to this season he was a Top 10 pitcher in baseball the past couple years. This goes to show how underrated he is.

Man, is history different if Melo comes to Chicago instead of them uniting in NY?

I can't believe i'm gonna pull for the Knicks next year.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 29, 2016 -> 10:03 PM) As far as Engel goes, it would be nice to see him put up an OPS challenging 800 in AAA. At the major league level, right now....he's more similar to Jackson stats-wise, but more reminiscent of Eaton in terms of physical tools. In most organizations, that would be a 4th outfielder. As long as he can have a respectable OBP, though (let's say 315-325), he could make it as a regular. More confident in him than May, tbh. You mean Mike Trout. For those that might not get it, FanGraphs once said he was a Trout level athlete. Which he very well could be.

It's almost more fun to see a double for Frazier than a homer.

If he can hit better than Avi, I'm down. Gives us flexibility with Frazier and Abreu.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Jun 29, 2016 -> 07:37 PM) Since that's a religion and not a race, anyone that thinks it's racism is a f***ing idiot.

QUOTE (GhostofDickeyKerr @ Jun 29, 2016 -> 05:17 PM) Yes. I was a much bigger fan of PTATC's back in the day when he would only comment on medical issues. I was a much bigger fan of ghosts when they would only comment "BOOOOOoOooooooOOOOOooOooooo"

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Jun 29, 2016 -> 10:44 AM) GREG!!!!! This post is for you, since i recall on at least ore than one occasion you (and me as well) have complained about our youth of today. I actually laughed after reading this. Welcome to the real world, Class of 2017! http://www.askamanager.org/2016/06/i-was-f...dress-code.html I really love this line from her letter" We were shocked. The proposal was written professionally like examples I have learned about in school, and our arguments were thought out and well-reasoned. We weren’t even given a chance to discuss it Meanwhile I'm wearing a shirt that says "Get חַי" (Chai, pronounced "high" is Hebrew for "life") at work and we all saw a short comedy clip of two coworkers pretending to have sex in a skit. What a time to be alive.

Nolasco rhymes with Tobasco.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jun 29, 2016 -> 10:14 AM) the cap jump is going to distort everything to gross proportions this offseason Let's remember Jo might get a $30M/year max from the Wizards.

Eventually, James Shields will read this thread. And he will go an Arrieta-esque tear.

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Jun 28, 2016 -> 09:37 PM) The greatest first baseman in White Sox history wore a helmet in the field. Um...Frank was still playing first when he got his two MVPs and was a monstrous hitters. That's if we're just going by individual seasons. If tenure is considered, it's Paulie.

Fernando Tatis Jr. went 0-4 with two strikeouts. Good thing we dumped him. Curbelo triple. Liking what we've seen so far.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Jun 28, 2016 -> 09:34 PM) It's great to have a natural base stealer Now hoping Engel puts it together.
