Beckham, Keppinger to DL
QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Mar 30, 2014 -> 04:08 PM) Wilson Betemit's a different situation. He was a busted prospect from another organization, and he wasn't sitting with a guaranteed $4-5 million contract. And Beckham was a legit Top 20-30 prospect in the majors at one point, compared to Semien being on the outside of the Top 100. Semien wasn't even in/on most organizational Top 10 lists before 2013. Two years ago, Tyler Saladino was Marcus Semien. Ah, so...we want to put the not Top 100 prospect in the same situation that caused the legit Top 20-30 prospect to fail?

Ugh, Rodon. Gimme.- Did MLB (and Hahn) miss on Hanigan?
I thought there was some new Hanigan on the block that I didn't ever hear of. Nope.- New Look Inside The Cell
QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Mar 30, 2014 -> 02:02 PM) Nothing is worse than O.co Coliseum I agree that some dont "hurt" to say. Like the United Center. Busch Stadium. Great American Ball Park may be one of the best. Agreed with these. US Cellular is right up with Minute Maid Park. I wish Marshall Fields still existed, because Marshall Field would have been amusing.- 3/28 at Birmingham

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Mar 28, 2014 -> 01:39 PM) A name that comes to mind immediately as a player the Sox could show interest in this year, ala Freddy Garcia in 2004, is Yovani Gallardo, depending on how his velocity looks this year as it's been decreasing in recent years. Obviously, you prefer players with a lot of team control left, but those players are going for a premium at this point. Gallardo, who just turned 28, is a guy who was supposed to be a stud and has fallen off a bit in recent years. He's still always had really good stuff and could be a guy that becomes available for trade this year if/when the Brewers fall out of contention. Given his numbers, he could be a guy that re-signs for around that magic $12 mill a year or so, and he fits the profile of a #2/#3 starter that could be used to solidify the depth of the rotation. His profile as a power sinker, ground ball pitcher who also strikes guys out fits what the Sox are looking for too. Given the Sox dearth of pitching plus numerous other interesting prospects (and even Gillaspie as a possible throw-in type), the two sides could easily make a deal. I like this and it makes sense. Points to wite.- 2014 Films Thread
QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Mar 27, 2014 -> 09:26 PM) That's the worst trailer I've ever seen. Horrible design. Horrible acting. Horrible cgi (is it 2014?). And a concept that makes little sense. Replace the turtles with transformers and all the sudden it actually makes more sense. That somehow made me less excited for a movie I wasn't excited about to begin with.- Max Scherzer

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Mar 27, 2014 -> 02:47 PM) I'm really not concerned about price, I'd rather someone I know get it. $30? That's $40 off... Yeah, I'd definitely pay $30 + mailing cost for it.- 2014 Video game thread

College basketball is pathetic and the coaches try to make it all about them. #COLLEGEBASKETBALLSUCKS!!! I don't disagree.

QUOTE (ZoomSlowik @ Mar 25, 2014 -> 04:57 PM) They're still only on pace for 39 wins and used their last two first rounders on Michael Kidd-Gilchrist and Cody Zeller. Not exactly setting the world on fire. That said, Cleveland, Detroit and Milwaukee would be better examples. MKG was looked at as a consensus #2. Zeller, yeah, didn't like that one but it was also a s*** draft. I'm more intrigued with what the Bobcats do in this draft.- NBA Thread 2013-2014
QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Mar 25, 2014 -> 04:40 PM) Yep, there are no quality of play issues in the Western Conference. They only exist in the East where you have a number of teams that have gutted their rosters on purpose to tank or have zero idea how to run a franchise (I'm looking at you Michael Jordan). Add in key injuries to two of the 4 East teams with legit talent (Chicago and Brooklyn) and you have a disaster of a conference. Charlotte is actually turning it around due to the hirings MJ made. As a GM he was bad. Owner? He ain't that bad. Try again.- 2014 Draft class
QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Mar 25, 2014 -> 03:35 PM) I don't think there is any way you pass on Rodon, no matter what pick you have. After Rodon you could go a bunch of different ways. There may not be a position player picked in the top 5. Kolek, Beede, Rodon, Hoffman, Aiken. Sox will get to choose from three of those. I like.- Abreu over/under set at 28.5/85.5
