QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Mar 14, 2014 -> 10:01 PM) Highly doubtful. Still projects as the best pitcher in the draft. Hoffman projects over Rodon?

I'm placing money on Putin having stolen it. The USA will send CIA Agent Dennis Rodman to retrieve it.

I love that Optimus Peanut returns.

Beginning to look like we should take one of Beede or Kolek, unless Rodon magically falls.

Houston Rockets ‏@HoustonRockets 1h What have we learned tonight? Don't make Mike Dunleavy bleed from the face. He'll get revenge on you.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Mar 13, 2014 -> 02:18 PM) Well, one thing's for sure, Dayan Viciedo hitting 30 homers this year is a lot more likely than Dustin Ackley being a competent outfielder and putting up even a 750 OPS. If Hawkins and Barnum both bust, we would have no choice but to look for power outside of our organization. Who else besides Viciedo, Davidson and Abreu are capable of hitting for power? Tyler Flowers? Nobody can guarantee Garcia will do so, anymore than Ryan Sweeney. Andy Wilkins? Trayce Thompson? Sox probably have the most power potential in the league. And Garcia has monstrous power. Just needs to harness it.

I hate Jared Allen. I also want Jared Allen.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Mar 12, 2014 -> 08:40 AM) 10 for everyone I see your 10 and raise it to 11.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Mar 10, 2014 -> 04:59 PM) The same #57 Tony Pena from 10/11? Different one, thank god.

Remember that almost perfect game he had?

Not Rienzo?!

Winning is always fun. The Bulls and Heat hate each other as well. Also fun.

Damn that was good. Here's hoping his family gets to him.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Mar 8, 2014 -> 08:45 AM) Ervin Santana signs 1Y, $14MM deal with unidentified AL club. Orioles and Royals say it's not them. 1 in 13 chance it's us. Stupid. Should have signed him to 4/60.

QUOTE (flavum @ Mar 7, 2014 -> 11:37 AM) It was Webb's mom. Very sad. Damn. RIP. Hope he handles it ok.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Mar 7, 2014 -> 04:10 PM) Well. Yes. This. Add to that Jimmy just focusing on defense at the 2, and my-oh-my. PF won't even matter. s***, at PF you still get one of Mirotic or Taj. It'd be nice and pretty.

If you give me Noah, Melo and Rose I don't give a f*** about who is #1, who is #2, and who is #3.

Here's what happens if Melo wants Chicago. Knicks S&T him to Chicago for Boozer, the Charlotte Pick, the 2015 Bulls Pick + Cleveland Swap, the Sacramento Pick, and the Bulls 2017 pick. That gives them the best possibility of tanking and then using the Bulls picks to build around any studs they may draft. Bulls may get a 3rd team like Philly involved to take Boozer (keeps them above the salary floor, doesn't harm the tank). Knicks don't want to deal with Chicago. Bulls trade Taj for a 1st round pick and cap space, amnesty Booz, sign Melo outright. Or Melo signs with the Lakers outright. The point is if Melo wants out, the best route for the Knicks is to deal with the Bulls and get picks. Hopefully the first option happens and you roll with a front six of Rose-Butler-Melo-Mirotic-Noah-Taj coached by Thibs. That team can dethrone the Heat.

Paul Konerko.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 6, 2014 -> 04:33 PM) Ken Rosenthal ‏@Ken_Rosenthal 3m Sources: Free-agent RHP Ervin Santana considering a change of agents. Currently represented by Bean Stringfellow of Proformance. But he makes teams contenders.

QUOTE (bmags @ Mar 6, 2014 -> 04:05 PM) Yeah, maybe poor choice of words here, but more that with Rose and it being Rose's hometown, I don't think Melo would be the #1 guy. Sure hasn't effected Wade. If Noah is recruiting him, then Noah thinks he's a winner.

Bassitt is the only name that intrigues me.

I find it encouraging that Abreu doesn't have a K yet. Knock on wood.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 3, 2014 -> 04:53 PM) Serious question... Does anyone around MLB have the type of speed that the White Sox have in their minor league system right now? They have some guys that sound like 70/80 speed. Hell, or the young power if we include Avi, Abreu, and Dayan. Barnum, Davidson, Hawkins, Thompson, Zapata. Lots of power in the system.
