By that I mean the embargo being lifted or teams moving there. Puerto Rico, Mexico City, Vancouver and Montreal would all come first for international markets. Then you have the following major US cities with a population of 345,000+ without a team: San Antonio, San Jose, Austin, Indianapolis, Jacksonville, Columbus, Charlotte, El Paso, Louisville, Portland, Las Vegas, Albuquergue, Tuscon, Fresno, Sacramento, Long Beach, Mesa, Virginia Beach, Colorado Springs, Omaha, Raleigh, Tulsa, Wichita, New Orleans and Honolulu.

Man, Jeff Soptic for Conor looks so good in retrospect.

Hopefully there will just be a moment where Derrick's insane drive comes back and pushes him right through the mental wall. Something needs to piss Derrick off like it used to and then he'd demand the ball and go full throttle down the court. My guess is that will happen against the Cavaliers.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Nov 26, 2014 -> 06:56 AM) It kind of looks like Thibs said "f*** it, stay in the locker room" Apparently Thibs wanted to be cautious, according to Friedell. According to Cowley it was a benching. Man, the sad part is we don't even need MVP Rose and DPOY Noah...we just need the normal versions of them, but Noah's searching for his energy / playing out of position and Derrick's mental wall is huge most of the time.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Nov 25, 2014 -> 04:08 PM) Really? One example? Brown's step father was on video screaming to the protesters to burn the town down. I guess black people love violence. And Brown's father has repeatedly called for peace.

Part of me thinks that they're taking Rose out for the tiniest of things that he would have played through in the past. Then the other part of me is sad. If this team were healthy they'd be damn near unstoppable.

Game.

Lawson is bush league.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Nov 25, 2014 -> 08:37 PM) I remember when the Bulls could play defense. Carlos Boozer was the real DPOY

Ok, maybe not. Holy s*** Faried.

Baristow shall lead them to victory.

QUOTE (Andy the Clown @ Nov 25, 2014 -> 12:19 AM) Bogaerts Betts Owens Swihart De La Rosa Eduardo Rodriguez You forgot Cecchini, Ranuado, and Fenway Park.

That looked so casual by Derrick. He should do it more.

I'd take Reddick in a heartbeat.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Nov 23, 2014 -> 06:58 PM) If he's traded, I feel like many of you will have learn very early in the season how much we'll miss Alexei's defense. Which is why the Sox need to be overwhelmed to trade him.

This just makes me sad. Jesus.

Glad to see at least some people are now coming out and appreciating Q's worth.

Yeah, I'm only interested in Kemp if the Dodgers take Danks and throw in a small chunk of change.

Really like this signing. Now just for the LF bat.

Add me the group that wouldn't do Q alone for Bruce, let alone Q+.

http://grantland.com/features/mlb-transaction-trees/ Really cool piece on long trade trees for each MLB team. Flowers is our oldest. Starting with Lee being traded for Vizcaino who then went with Chris Young and Orlando Hernandez to Arizona for Javy Vazquez who gave us flowers. Some in here (the D-backs) are really intriguing.

He should not be a reliever. Doing that with Sale nearly cost us one of the most dominant starters in the league.

If an Alexei + Danks + prospect such as Trayce for Ethier/Kemp/Crawford + Pederson happened, this would be the money. White Sox send out: $48.5M over next two years. Dodgers send out (Ethier): $53.5M over three years. Dodgers send out (Crawford): $62.2M Dodgers send out (Kemp): $107M over five years. With Ethier the Dodgers save $5M. With Crawford the Dodgers save $13.7M. With Kemp the Dodgers save $58.5M. The above is why the Dodgers would have to send back Pederson if they wanted Alexei / wanted to unload an OF.

QUOTE (StRoostifer @ Nov 18, 2014 -> 03:57 PM) First off, no chance of Pederson coming back for Alexei, that's just beyond unreasonable. The Dodgers are trying to make room for Pederson, not trade him. I'm hoping the Sox are focused on some kind of package around Schebler. That would involve unloading two of their high priced OFs, which ain't happening.
