QUOTE (CB2.0 @ Jun 24, 2016 -> 09:32 AM) Look - this was the quote I responded to: He predicted A STAT LINE OF 7 IP. When I said I'd eat my hat if he goes "more than 5", I'm referring to the above STAT LINE. Check the tape - I even quoted it in my post HERE. You guys want to move the goal posts and argue that walking 2 batters in the 6th and getting pulled constitutes some measure of more than 5 IP, that's YOUR misinterpretation of my response. Unless you can show me something that shows more than 5 IP, arguing otherwise is DEAD WRONG. He's not being confrontational in every single thread he's been in, Andrew.

5+ IP is 5 getting to the sixth, no outs. Otherwise it would be 5.1 IP or 5.2 IP

Still so weird finally seeing DSL players stateside.

Business Insider already projecting the US stock market to get hit hard.

God. Damnit.

I have no idea if Jimmy is suddenly all powerful or extremely vulnerable.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Jun 23, 2016 -> 06:21 PM) If Butler was traded, would you prefer Dunn/Wiggins or Russell/Ingram as two possible trade packages? Dunn/Wiggins

Took 3/4 and Shields pitched well. I can deal with it.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jun 23, 2016 -> 05:43 PM) In summary, the only way I'm moving Butler are in deals where he is in the centerpiece and we are getting back the following (not saying these other teams would do it, but what it would take for me to do it...and to get the below, I am on board with giving up other guys / picks as sweetners). My elow list is in order of preference with the Wolves / Lakers ranking above the Celtics. Twolves: Wiggins & #5 pick Lakers: Russell & #2 pick Celtics: #3 pick + next year's pick (just for Butler...no sweetners here, such as giving up our pick or something) I'd need an active player from the Celtics as well.

Anderson grand slam coming. I can feel it.

QUOTE (ZoomSlowik @ Jun 23, 2016 -> 05:09 PM) I don't see Russell and Ingram happening, but it's hard to predict stupid. I would have said Clarkson and 2, but I've read that they LOVE Clarkson. I could deal with tanking if they can get Ingram. I'm not confident that Ingram will be a star, but I would be surprised if he's not a very good starter. f***, I'd take Clarkson and Ingram.

Son of a clam chowder cracker.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Jun 23, 2016 -> 04:42 PM) what's your deal? He inserted Chris Beck into a high leverage situation. he does this repeatedly. It's playing with fire. It's also very unbecoming for a mod to troll like this imo. Eminor's not a mod, so...

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jun 23, 2016 -> 04:24 PM) Poor Red Sox, they did try to sign him! I imagine his numbers would be better if he played for Boston, not just because they'd have no runners on base, but because Abreu seems to hit well at Fenway like you said Oxymoron

Booya.

QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Jun 23, 2016 -> 04:03 PM) Russell and Ingram for Butler? Hell yes. If the Lakers are dumb enough to do that, I do that every day of the week. Let Jimmy be Hollywood in Hollywood. Note: I recognize that Jimmy has an unreal work ethic and is a great player, but he also developed a huge ego and became plenty "hollywood as hell".

I forgot about them being relevant.

what caused Hawk to want blood?!

What happened? MLB TV isn't working.

QUOTE (shipps @ Jun 23, 2016 -> 01:48 PM) Kind of naturally happens that way when you don't choose to be a fan of whoever is one of the front running teams just because its convenient to watch a winner every year. Damn

Trade for Lamb + #22 from Hornets Trade Jimmy + Taj + #14 for Wiggins + #5. Take Dunn. Dunn/Grant Lamb/Moore Wiggins/Dunleavy Niko/Portis Lopez

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jun 23, 2016 -> 12:41 PM) So Woj is reporting that the Hornets will trade #22 if someone takes Jeremy Lamb's contract 3/21. Is this something the Bulls should consider in order to get another 1st rounder? I'd do it.

Godspeed, SoxPride18

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Jun 22, 2016 -> 08:31 PM) That you think the last 2 drafts have been good is an opinion, not a fact. How's Fulmer looking, in your opinion? We're investing internationally? The Cubs, RedSox etc invest. I believe Hahn himself said that he's paying a whopping one big bonus. That's not an investment - that's doing the minimum. But you asked for facts: 4 players for 1 season of Shark A top 100, a CF who raked (possible NL rookie of year) and another prospect for 2 years of Frazier. Hopefully Frazier can hit .220 Two pitching prospects for sub .700 OPS Lawrie (despite having promising youths Sanchez and Saladino on the roster). Signed Keppinger, Latos, Rollins, and Bonificaio ($3 mill!!!!) all of whom had to be DFAd. Also signed Beckham for $2 million Gave De Aza and Thornton away for nothing; both had productive years left. Traded Rios for Leury Garcia; Rios helped the Royals win he Worlds Series. Signed Adam Laroche. Horrible, then put on a clownact, and Hahn's boss had to step in and fix the clubhouse. Signed Albers, and Duke, both of whom have been mediocre Robertson has done his job. Signed Melky Cabrera - okay this year, terrible last year; can't play defense Kept Ventura and Cooper around Traded for Shields 63, 73, and 76 wins under his leadership. 1 post-season in a decade from he and Williams. Facts Of course, before most of that, he got Eaton and Abreu. Then he decided that declining veterans were the better use of resources. Ser Caulfield's post. GreenSox, you do way too much hero worship.
