Quin

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Jul 8, 2016 -> 03:57 PM) My requisite post Ok, this was fair. QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Jul 8, 2016 -> 04:00 PM) Thanks for your input. We had no idea how you felt on the matter.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Jul 8, 2016 -> 03:23 PM) According to fangraphs Quintana has the second highest WAR for pitchers in the AL at 3.1. So theoretically he is the second best pitcher in the AL by this measure. Here is the conceptual problem I have with WAR. Supposedly, WAR is Wins Above Replacement where the replacement is any guy from AAA. Let's use a decent pitcher like Scott Carroll. This stat tells me that the White Sox will only have 3 more win from the contributions of Quintana as opposed to Carroll. Common sense wise that just doesn't make sense between a AAA pitcher and the second best pitcher in the AL. Until just recently, Q was #1 with Kluber being #2 (not disagreeing with the rest BTW, I think they need a new acronym for it so it's not taken as literally. Make it more akin to PER in the NBA where it boils down to higher number = better)

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Jul 8, 2016 -> 02:15 PM) I wondered the same thing. He'd be on two days rest. Seems to me he may not even be "sub" option, which sucks. Davis still has to be replaced. Unfortunately none of they other starters are slated to pitch on Sunday. Which makes it even dumber that he wasn't named.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 8, 2016 -> 01:59 PM) Oh hello, you must be new to the Buster.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jul 8, 2016 -> 01:29 PM) Yeah, this draft is looking pretty good. I know everyone is high on our first three picks, but I really like what I'm seeing from Call & Fisher. These guys are both having strong offensive seasons in rookie ball and I believe they rank 1st & 2nd in the Pioneer League in terms of drawing walks. Throw in Curbelo and a few other interesting players and there's a lot to like from this draft class. A lot of us are high on the first five picks, Curbelo, and Hickman.

Hey everyone, I know emotions are a bit tense, but let's try and keep it civil in here.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jul 8, 2016 -> 12:50 PM) Before the draft (and these lists, I think, don't include the draftees), with Anderson no longer eligible, the system is pretty rough. Not hopeless - seeing a nice spike from some key LatAm names for example. The new draft is huge. There will probably 4 2016 draftees among the top 10 in the Sox system on our upcoming Midseason list, though that could go up or down by one. Also yeah, this. The latest draft is a huge shot in the arm for the system.

If Anderson were still there and Rodon were on a standard track, they'd both be high up.

Basically everyone here agreed the Bonifacio was a quality signing at the time.

Protest was peaceful. Police officers and protesters had been taking photos together. It was calm and friendly.

4 shot, one dead.

3 DART officers were wounded.

Supposedly multiple shooters.

From NBC/Dallas PD Scanner Suspect confined. AR-15 used. One officer shot in the arm. No word on the other.

That gun... B>W is right. That's a sniper rifle.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 7, 2016 -> 04:59 PM) But Alex Rios has a WS ring. You've hero worshipped him plenty. Don't you want another one? Wait, because Rios was part of a WS winner, we should have gotten better value for him than Leury Garcia, according to GreenSox. So therefore we have to trade more than Leury Garcia for CarGo.

QUOTE (shysocks @ Jul 7, 2016 -> 04:23 PM) ooh this gon' be good

lmao at Y2HH telling MexSoxFan how to feel. QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jul 7, 2016 -> 02:02 PM) Man, are we hiring the wrong police officers? Less than half have college degrees and that half is less likely to use force. Do we need to up the requirements to be an officer? I'd say yes.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 7, 2016 -> 01:44 PM) Can someone explain to me why a Chris Paul or the like would want to come here next year? We don't seem to attract any top level free agents. All aboard the Banana Boat

QUOTE (Deadpool @ Jul 7, 2016 -> 11:40 AM) I doubt the mutual second year option for Rondo is in the Bulls' future plans. I would expect that Rondo walks in order to make room for two max contracts That's why I said if that fails. Wade will know if it's gonna happen before Rondo has to become a FA.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Jul 7, 2016 -> 11:21 AM) Out of the top guys the one guy next summer Wade may give them a legit shot at is Chris Paul because they are really close. I don't see Wade being a draw for Westbrook and the Bulls aren't getting Curry. If they have even thought that far ahead my guess is they are hoping Wade can recruit CP3 who will then bring Blake Griffin along with him. From a purely basketball standpoint the signing does nothing to help the Bulls get closer to a championship. And if that fails, Rondo and Boogie are tight.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 7, 2016 -> 11:12 AM) Sorry Q Jordan Bastian ‏@MLBastian 7m7 minutes ago Corey Kluber is an All-Star. The Cleveland ace has been named as a replacement for Toronto's Marco Estrada (15-day DL). If Q is somehow passed over for Davis' spot, Yost should be fired into a brick wall.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 7, 2016 -> 10:44 AM) Where is the NRA today?? This guy was killed because he was legally carrying a gun the constitution allows him to have. This is right up their wheelhouse. **crickets*** I mean, the logic being used here is that legally carrying a gun is an allowable death sentence, so yeah, where's LaPierre's ass at? He's so quick usually.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 7, 2016 -> 12:43 AM) It's gonna be hilarious watching teams pack the paint against this team. Fortunately, no one has a real center anymore.
