Quin

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 (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!"

Well, between McDermott, Snell, Dunleavy and Mirotic you should have plenty of shooting.

QUOTE (Knuckles @ Jul 13, 2014 -> 03:48 AM) $1000 Cubs win a pennant in the next three seasons. Do YOU take this kind of bet or no? Asking for a friend. Hell no.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Jul 12, 2014 -> 09:55 PM) It's funny, b/c while not getting Melo was obviously a big disappointment, the Bulls are still in pretty decent shape for 2014-15 and with some luck might actually be better than that, but Bulls fans are really down on it (they're pretty much down on everything, all the time since the 2011 season). If this exact same roster was the Knicks, Knicks fans would be acting like they're already in the Finals, because Knicks fans are the complete opposite of Bulls fans. Melo going back to the Knicks was like a major coup, as if the team he went back to didn't just miss the playoffs in a historically bad conference WITH him. I give it two years before they look to trade him. They'll strike out worse than the Bulls in free agency and they still have very, very few picks to rebuild in the draft.

Just watched it again. 1) I miss the vest jerseys. 2) Pods was f***ing awesome.

I remember coming home from school, sitting down and turning on the game, and the first thing I saw was AJ getting to home...and getting punched.
