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.

You know, props to Omar Narvaez holding his own in AAA. He was called up in an emergency and while he hasn't lit the world on fire, he should probably only just now be getting to AA.

I'm enjoying Anderson on defense.

QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Jun 28, 2016 -> 05:17 PM) It's absolutely childish to sit on the floor and pout when you don't get what you want. When my 4 year old does that in a store, he gets punished. I don't commend him for taking a stand. While I agree this is a dumb tactic for either party to use, slight difference between this and your four year old.

QUOTE (FT35 @ Jun 28, 2016 -> 04:58 PM) Just me if not anyone I missed...maybe the Padres interest centered solely around Tatis...who knows. But the trade was a textbook salary dump--summarized by the GM's PUBLIC comments about Shields after his last start. They wanted him on the NEXT train out of town and so while it was a GREAT time to buy, we came to him with $27 Million a young, LH MLB-ready starter, AND Tatis. The guys who called this move out were claiming the inclusion of Tatis to be unnecessary because the salary DUMP was already achieved without trading him away. Erik Johnson is right-handed and also bad.

Greg...she's raised $230M. Bill Gates is worth nearly $80B.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jun 28, 2016 -> 01:04 PM) The latest BENGHAZI! investigation report was released today. Shockingly, it found pretty much no new information and nothing important after 2 years. EMAILS

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Jun 28, 2016 -> 01:34 PM) Did the media applaud the R's then? Did you think it was a good thing that the minority party did whatever they could, or did you make snide comments about how childish they looked? Goes both ways. It was still childish and Mr. Lewis looked like he would rather be anywhere else than sitting on the floor, and the fact that he as one of the participants doesn't make it any less childish. I mean Fox probably did.

And is 19. I'd like to give him time.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jun 28, 2016 -> 11:21 AM) As an Illini grad, I love to dig on Mizzou as much as the next guy, but damn kick them while they are down, why don't you? That's been known for months and posted earlier in this thread. The hate in Lawrence is still strong. Because even though his coach cancelled the rivalry, Greg wants to keep kicking Mizzou while we're down to stoke some rivalry I guess / push whatever Rush Limbaugh says.
