QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jun 25, 2015 -> 11:35 PM) Like I said, I haven't watched the Bulls at all, but both with Royce White and George's Niang at Iowa State he's enjoyed using the 4 to bring the ball up (less when he's had an actual PG, which he will have with Rose, but still did it a bit) to instigate the offense, but he loves bigs that go in and out because of what it does for his guards. I have a feeling Hoiberg will love Niko and Portis. Also, just keep feeling like Taj will be gone. The most vocal Thibs backer, black hole on offense, not a great passer. It'll be sad to see his fantastic D disappear but I think Portis can be groomed into Taj 2.0. He's just way more movable than Jo and if Jo is healthy (big if), you'd rather keep him in Hoiberg's system than Taj.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jun 25, 2015 -> 11:12 PM) Portis isn't the guy for it, but like I've said before, Hoiberg loves stretch 4s. Working from zero previous knowledge of the Bulls, if he can establish a big as an outside scoring threat, even to a small extent (He's open, he will shoot a three and can make it) he wants to draw the big out of the paint for guys like Rose and Butler to penetrate. Moreso a guy like Rose so that he can pass to another mismatch off of penetration Translation: Niko is gonna have fun with Hoiberg.

Woj saying Bulls are taking Portis. Talk about interesting. Have to guess it means that one of Taj or Jo is gone.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 25, 2015 -> 08:34 PM) Dekker still on the board. I wouldn't be surprised if the Bulls take him at 22. Was kind of hoping for this. Bummer.

QUOTE (Real @ Jun 25, 2015 -> 01:47 AM) watch them sign Melissa Mayeux just because it would draw attention away from this s***fest I'm down. Can't be worse than Alexei at defense right now.

I'd trade Shark for Appel if they can't go on a sweet run and to .500 and a few games out by the deadline. If they decide they want to try and sign Jeff in the offseason, they can. Hell they can discuss it right now like Hammel certainly did with the Cubs.

I blame the person who kept saying Sale was due for a bad start.

Lord help those who face Chris Sale, for Chris Sale > batters right now. Offense showed up. Hopefully shows up again. f*** the Twins.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jun 23, 2015 -> 11:51 AM) Sony and Marvel announced Tom Holland as the next Spider-Man He definitely got it cause of his flipping abilities. http://time.com/3932537/tom-holland-spider-man-stunts/ QUOTE (Brian @ Jun 23, 2015 -> 04:34 PM) Kyle, you read rumors of Beyoncé being cast in something? Saw this. Misty Knight would fit Beyonce, but way too low profile a character. Then again, Glen Close and Djimon Hounsou didn't exactly have massive parts.

Greg, I say this sincerely as possible. For someone who has lived in a college town for as long as you have, you are drastically out of touch with my generation.

Shark! Offense! Soto! Sanchez's sick defense! Not screwing up! Melky! Abreu! Eaton! Positivity!

At least Melky is showing a pulse

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jun 23, 2015 -> 08:37 PM) Yay Melky! Yay Soto!

Yay Melky!

QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 23, 2015 -> 03:51 PM) Of course he's at SS tonight. https://twitter.com/ChiTribKane/status/613448423262457856 Alexei grandslam tonight. Like the olden days.

f*** the Twins. Shark > tiny fish

Oh great. The station with Rush on it. Blech.

QUOTE (scs787 @ Jun 23, 2015 -> 03:07 PM) Eh, if I had to choose between what would likely just be Bryant and lesser prospects vs a package of Schwarber/Edwards++ I think I'd go with the package of multiple studs. I said "starts" with. The Cubs would not like what it ends with.

QUOTE (scs787 @ Jun 23, 2015 -> 02:48 PM) If the Sox think Schwarber can stick at catcher, they can get Edwards, AND snag Russell or Baez I might do that deal. I think Schwarber is gonna be a monster, and getting Edwards would soften the blow of losing Sale a ton. The rotation with Rodon-Q-Fulmer-Edwards is intriguing as hell. Cubs conversations start with Bryant or the Sox hang up.

The baseball HOF is still a joke that moves the fences to fit its own desires.

Also sometimes injuries just happen.

Sale, Abreu as a replacement for someone who inevitably drops out.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jun 22, 2015 -> 09:45 PM) Jim Callis ‏@jimcallisMLB 6m6 minutes ago Ceiling is frontline starter. Has that stuff. @SSS_joshnelson: With Fulmer joining the @WhiteSox - what do you think his ceiling is? Sale Rodon Shark Quintana Fulmer EJ, Montas, Danish, Beck in the wings. Staff looks real good to me. Just get some hitters lol With Guerrero and Adams on their way. Hell, I'll even add Drabek due to his performance this year. Going to have to start trading some of them for hitting.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Jun 22, 2015 -> 09:38 PM) WOW! Just, WOW! Just do not know what else to say. "Thank god the best college pitcher fell to the Sox two years in a row"

Fulmer is nasty as hell. Though he'll need someone better at catching than Tyler Flowers.
