QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 1, 2016 -> 12:51 PM) That is two years of zero signings internationally. I stand by what I said. If you're going to so blatantly try and circumvent the rules like that, a Wilder-esque hammer should come down on your org.

And Coats was close.

Honestly think if they were doing that, punishment needs to be harsher.

God damn, feel bad for Davidson still.

God I love Adolfo's attitude. Interesting that Cherry just gave up baseball. He's been nails so far in relief.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 1, 2016 -> 09:04 AM) Never mind. Playing along with the Jarrett Jack/Ga Tech reference. Actually, Marbury's one of the most popular players in history here in China, probably #3 to Yao Ming and Kobe Bryant. Has his own museum, shoe line, official lifetime permanent residency (very rare privilege to be granted)...never thought he would mature into a "good guy" and stick it out here, most imports don't last more than 6 months. Didn't he also have his own musical/play?

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 1, 2016 -> 08:52 AM) Bruce Dalrymple Mark Price Kenny Anderson Tom The Terminator Hammonds Spider Salley Starbury Dennis Scott They could give the Bulls a run for their money if they don't make any more additions. Throw in Travis Best and Harpring. Dude, what?

QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 30, 2016 -> 10:24 PM) Alec Hansen vs Brady Aiken. Sexy. Hansen comes out better. Awww yiss.

God damn I feel bad for him

God damn. Feel bad for the kid.

Three series won.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jun 30, 2016 -> 12:54 PM) That would be reserved for Mirotic on this board. He gets plenty of hate after the sophomore season. If I had to ACTUALLY think about it, I'd say Kyle Korver might be most overrated during/after his tenure. I say this as a big Korver fan.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jun 30, 2016 -> 11:26 AM) He is a great passer. How many supposed Defensive Players of the Year got worked by Nene in the playoffs though? And rebounder. And defender. And team leader.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jun 30, 2016 -> 11:18 AM) Those two years where Rose was out, Noah put the team on his back. Those teams had no business finishing where they did. Noah was, when healthy, one of, if not, the best center in the league (please note, part of that is because the league doesn't have many quality centers). Star defender, excellent rebounder and excellent passing big men (one of the best ever). Yes, outside of his passing, the rest of his offensive game was weak. Jo used to be good at FTs as well. And he would always bust out a 20+ point game every now and then when he was rolling.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jun 30, 2016 -> 11:15 AM) Well, you can only move down a couple spots from where you picked. For example, I think if you had the worse record, you can't pick lower than like 3 or something. 3 spots lower. QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jun 30, 2016 -> 11:16 AM) Noah is probably the most overrated Bulls player ever, right? I mean he was a fan favorite but he always made a lot of coin for what he provided. This is so hilariously false. He was underpaid on his last contract when he signed it.

QUOTE (TheTruth05 @ Jun 30, 2016 -> 10:55 AM) Salad has been nothing short of awesome in his limited time playing. Ventura does get some credit for spotting him appropriate playing time and not over exposing him either. Overall nice to see Salad making it. Oh god this reminds me of the days of him and Rangel Ravelo being our food themed prospects. But really, Saladino has been awesome. He's a perfect supersub.

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.
