White Sox interested in SS Ian Desmond
QUOTE (Thad Bosley @ Feb 15, 2016 -> 08:22 PM) They ARE a large market team - they play in the city of Chicago. They don't operate as a large market team because they haven't ever figured out how to win in a sustainable fashion in order to build up this revenue base of which you speak. The Mets operate in mostly the same fashion. They play in New York City. The Cubs and Yankees exist.

White Sox interested in SS Ian Desmond
QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Feb 15, 2016 -> 01:38 PM) Sox payroll rank in MLB over the last 10 years: 2015: 15th 2014: 20th 2013: 8th 2012: 11th 2011: 5th 2010: 7th 2009: 12th 2008: 5th 2007: 5th 2006: 4th So that's only 1 year in the bottom half which was a rebuilding year, 6 times in the top 10 and 4 times in the top 5. Not bad for a team that struggles with attendance as much as the Sox do. I will be upset if the Sox don't spend money for another upgrade or two before Opening Day, but this idea that the Sox are cheap is exaggerated. Stop using facts.

White Sox interested in SS Ian Desmond
QUOTE (Thad Bosley @ Feb 15, 2016 -> 11:25 AM) The real "schtick" is the oft-unfair maligning of the fan base at this site. White Sox fans are not weak, they are not fickle. They are consumers just like anyone else responding to the product they've been routinely presented, which has not been very good for a long time now. And let's be very clear here. There's a difference between "blind loyalty" and "brand loyalty", the former reserved for family and friends, and the latter for when the brand is actually good. So is it fickleness or weakness of the fan base that they haven't flocked in droves to the Cell the past three years, or the fact that the product or brand on the field has been flat out horrible. Which is it.

Bah, I'll take Royals Review over the USA Today. But like SS2k5 said, if they win 90 games, everything goes right.

QUOTE (Tony @ Feb 14, 2016 -> 07:38 PM) I'm not trying to take anything away from Kobe, but where is ANY Tim Duncan love? Isn't this probably his last year too? Nah, Father Time is still trying to figure out Timmy.

That was so fantastic. I'm amazed Fox greenlit so much. It's paying off.

2015-2016 NBA Thread
QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Feb 14, 2016 -> 01:21 PM) Just went back and watched all of these. 2000 was great but I'll take last night over it. The 80's ones don't hold up at all imo. For me it was because 2000 was loaded with amazing dunks and Vinsanity in full force. Andre Drummond and Will Barton held last night beneath 2000 for me.

2015-2016 NBA Thread
QUOTE (danman31 @ Feb 14, 2016 -> 02:07 PM) I guess I'll be the minority and say LaVine is way better than Gordon. His first dunk was the best dunk of the night. LaVine's problem is he makes the dunks look so easy. Gordon didn't do as much for me. LaVine is better. It's just that Gordon was pulling off crazy, theatrical stuff. LaVine just looks so smooth that it hurts him - until they show slow motion and you realize how absolutely insane his dunks are.

Rewatched the 2000 contest and while last night was amazing, 2000 was unreal. If Gordon and LaVine return next year, add a few more people like Super Mario and it might dethrone it.

Drummond and Barton weren't that great. But holy s*** Gordon and LaVine was amazing.

Ugh, I thought we were acquiring a 29 year old for this season. Another failure by this front office.

Keith Law releases annually farm system rankings
QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Feb 12, 2016 -> 01:13 AM) Well once they lose Abreu, Puig, Cespedes, Chapman, Tomas, and Moncada, you had to figure they would slip behind Japan, Korea, Venezuela, and the bunch.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Feb 11, 2016 -> 11:36 AM) I'm in your camp. As the current college student, I'm in agreement here. I can easily see some of the crazier ones hitting like, 100. But if I had to guess the average would be between 4-7

Keith Law releases annually farm system rankings
QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Feb 11, 2016 -> 02:54 PM) http://www.baseballamerica.com/minors/orga...-rankings-list/ BA ranks us at #23. I know they graduated a ton last year but still surprised the Cubs fell to #20. Texas traded a bunch of prospects for Hamels but improved from #11 to #7. Braves went from #29 to #3, pretty impressive. The Shelby Miller deal alone moves the Braves up a bunch.

I'm really not feeling giving up a pick for Desmond. Would much rather do it for Fowler.

QUOTE (2005thxfrthmmrs @ Feb 10, 2016 -> 04:49 PM) In one of the promos he did for Adidas after his first injury, he famously said he'll die on the court for basketball. That's D Rose in his previous life. I miss that Derrick. Even he couldn't save this team.
