Quin

Yeah, this reeks of "Chicago is trying to put pressure on Cleveland.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jul 22, 2014 -> 08:46 AM) Competitive Balance picks will be awarded at the lottery draft on Wednesday at 1 pm. Eligible teams are the Athletics, Brewers, Cardinals, D-backs, Indians, Marlins, Orioles, Padres, Pirates, Rays, Reds, Rockies and Royals. They are awarded to small market teams. I feel like the Mets and White Sox are screwed here if the Cardinals, Royals, Rockies, Padres, and Athletics are eligible.

Chris Sale > your pitcher

If he clears waivers, hell yes. Our bullpen is crap and I love me some Sergio.

If the Rockies paid some of CarGo's deal, I'd do it.

Let's get Aiken with our savings on Quintana and Sale

I just want him to retire here. But man he's something else. Also, we should just stop comparing any pitcher (Quintana) to Buehrle. We're more likely to see the next Sale than Buehrle.

QUOTE (woods of ypres @ Jul 16, 2014 -> 11:20 PM) Flying Serpent? It's been his unofficial board nickname since his rookie year. Kyyle and I concocted it. http://www.soxtalk.com/forums/index.php?sh...p;#entry2607049 Feathered Serpent*, Flying works as well.

I just wanted to take a moment and point out that in fWAR amongst pitchers, Quintana is tied for 8th with Sale, Tanaka, and Richards. Obviously, Sale was hurt and is the better pitcher. But Q has been better than Scherzer, Price, Strasburg. He's been a top ten pitcher in all of baseball this year. His strikeout numbers and K/BB ratio keep improving. I think he gets under appreciating because we have Sale, but damn Q is awesome. He may legitimately be KW's best acquisition of his career. Q right now is an ace, but again, we have one of the aces in baseball and Sale overshadows him. Should be really grateful about having him and Sale and the head of rotation, locked up for peanuts. Hopefully Rodon joins them soon.

Wow, this is something else.

Red Sox karma?

Well there's the first double.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jul 15, 2014 -> 07:20 PM) Thank you McCutchen Seriously, thank God. Also that's the most effort he's put into a defensive play in years.

DEREK JEE-TAH

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 15, 2014 -> 12:52 PM) I believe the deadline to Amnesty Boozer is today. Nope, 17th.

If Aiken hired an agent, he can't go pitch in college, right? So...what happens there?

Highly unlikely he becomes a FA. If he did though...

If Rose is healthy and dominant, they win the title. If Rose is healthy and 80% the player he was, they get the 1 seed. If Rose is healthy and not quite back to All-Star level, they are Eastern contenders. If Rose is healthy and equal to DJ Augustin, they're a Top 4 seed in the East but have only a puncher's chance.

Milovan Rakovic, who we got in Orlando deal. He looks like he'd have no problem killing a man, we should bring him over.

QUOTE (scs787 @ Jul 14, 2014 -> 06:17 PM) Finally got around to watching the Snell and DMD highlights from yesterday....I know its summer league but you still gotta be impressed with the range they displayed. I'm pulling for Tony to impress enough to be the starter along side Butler. Those guys length out there together is gonna make it really tough on opposing wings. I like this team. Somewhat surprisingly so do most of the talking heads on ESPN. SAS and Skip Bayless both think the Bulls are the team to beat in the East (yes I'm aware who those 2 are). There's been quite a few other guys that have said the same. If Rose is healthy it wouldn't shock me one bit if this team comes out of the East.....Even if Kirk gets hurt and they are forced to play Mike James 15 min per game. I know what you mean, but Butler has 0 length. He has T-Rex arms. He and Noah (who also has shorter arms) are just crafty, tenacious defenders.

This team reminds me of the 2010-2011 Bulls team on crack if Rose can be healthy.

Remember when he didn't suck?

I'm sure when Abreu hits a homer that just barely makes it out the pitcher goes "In another park, that stays in!"
