Dear lord Anthony Davis. Damn shame the NBA did away with the territorial pick forever ago. We'd be rocking Rose - Parker - Davis next year.

QUOTE (Stan Bahnsen @ Nov 13, 2013 -> 04:22 PM) I expect him to make his first appearance in 2015 and be a second ace to Sale by 2016. Not asking too much am I? Might wanna temper those expectations a bit.

QUOTE (SCCWS @ Nov 12, 2013 -> 07:12 PM) Castro has had knee issues on and off for for 3 seasons. He had another surgery in September after going on DL late in year. Maybe why he is available. I was unaware of that. Yeah, that would lower my price to just Hector + a prospect like Petricka or Thompson.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Nov 12, 2013 -> 03:03 PM) He's only had one good season but it was his first full season. We need young upside, right? BABIP was high but not insanely high. 10% walk rate! What makes Santiago more valuable? He's had one good season that had all kinds of signs of unsustainable success. I'm agreeing with this. I love Hector, but unless Danks magically goes he's the odd man out between the four lefties in the rotation if we decide to trade one. A young, left handed catcher that can hit and has good walk rate? I'll take it for Hector, Phegley and one more minor league piece.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Nov 12, 2013 -> 05:23 PM) I thought the exact same thing, especially when you look at Courtney Hawkins rated higher. Take your bets right now as to who will contribute at the major league level more in the next 15 years, Abreu or Hawkins, and I think you'll see a pattern. One of them has been described as possibly being the best hitter in the world. The other is Courtney Hawkins.

QUOTE (bmags @ Nov 12, 2013 -> 05:00 PM) This is annoying. I hate having to be so negative to maybe my favorite white sox ever, but man, please don't come back PK. This. I don't want to see him go through what he did last year.

Santiago + Phegley + Jaye or Beck would be about as high as I'd go.

QUOTE (winninguglyin83 @ Nov 11, 2013 -> 09:41 PM) Here's a great reason to trade Dunn, and it's the one of the reasons the Cincinnati Reds traded him: To get him out of the clubhouse and away from the younger players. He's out of shape, lazy and not much of a leader. Or maybe he'll follow through on one of his hollow threats to walk away from the final year on his contract if he thinks things just aren't working. This screams "I hate Adam Dunn as a person"

QUOTE (Jake @ Nov 11, 2013 -> 07:35 AM) I would do a Hector for Rosario flip. I'd think about Q instead of Hector. I actually wonder if that's enough. I don't think I'd flip Q. I'd build a deal around Hector though.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Nov 10, 2013 -> 06:51 PM) Again, why are we trading Dunn? There is nobody in the system to take his place in 2014. If by the small chance you compete in 2014, his home runs will be a reason why. Keep him. Maybe an AL team gets desperate at the deadline. Everything about this.

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Nov 10, 2013 -> 06:26 PM) Wilin Rosario is a popular name these days... Interesting.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Nov 10, 2013 -> 12:10 AM) Don't forget all the talk about Dunn being one of the worst hitters in baseball history whenever it was, 2 or 3 years ago when he was hitting .050 or some such atrocity. No team can afford to take on Dunn. He'd be a PR nightmare. Remember, there even HAVE been stories written a couple times on whether he'd retire if he kept going that bad. Dunn had to address the possibility of just quitting. Nobody's going to take on that type of hitting trainwreck unless Sox pay almost the entire salary, which Jerry won't do obviously. All of your posts are boring, predictable and full of outlandish assumptions.

I feel like The Dark World blows the first Thor out of the water. It's right up there with Avengers and Iron Man 3 as best MCU films for me.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Nov 8, 2013 -> 09:08 PM) Real talk. Can the Jimmy Butler fanbase school me on what he does offensively that's above average? I just don't see it. Defensively? Yes. He's a potential stud. Offensively? No. At least when he's aggressive, he draws fouls like a madman.

Thor: The Dark World was damn good.

Balta's kidney, we knew thee well.

Marshall is like a different man since coming to Chicago.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Nov 5, 2013 -> 11:09 PM) The Dolphins have already ridded themselves of Incognito so you're wrong on that. The rest of your post is just nonsense that quite frankly doesn't even deserve a response. It's quite idiotic, isn't it?

QUOTE (DukeNukeEm @ Nov 5, 2013 -> 09:35 PM) How? The NFL is a billion dollar business and a vast majority of its employees are entirely dependent on 16 opportunities to prove their value in millions. Millions they're going to need later on when they're eating from a straw. The stakes are ridiculously high, weak links cannot be tolerated and someone's feelings are not important at all. There's no time for political correctness or any of the other symptoms of the pussification of the American general public to creep in. All that matters is the guy you are on the field. Its cutthroat, we the fans demand it be that way. Take a look around the sports world, these crazy analytics and hyper scrunity... this is the culture it creates. Incognito did nothing wrong. He's clearly crazy and definitely an asshole, but in the context of his world he was entirely within bounds. He's the better player, he helps the team more, and that is all that matters. Law says different. Also, he's a f***ing racist. That's not ok in any culture.

QUOTE (DukeNukeEm @ Nov 5, 2013 -> 09:19 PM) Lost in all this is that Incognito is a much better player than Martin. This matters why? What's not lost is that Incognito is a terrible human.

f***ing stupid

QUOTE (scs787 @ Nov 5, 2013 -> 11:23 AM) I'm giving Samardzija the slight edge just due to his ability to get deeper into the game. Do I think Santiago can get to point where he's going 6+ next year? Sure. Does AZ believe that as well? Ya, they probably should. I really like AZ as a trade partner so I hope Hahn gets in there before the Cubs do. The deal I suggested my last post for Santiago or expand it a bit and try to get Aaron Hill as well. Probably over valuing Q here if I think they could get Parra/Hill/Owings/Barrett, but I can dream right? Depending on how confident the team is in Webb, you could possibly pull off Santiago/Reed/De Aza for Parra, Owings, and Barrett. You basically have to trade Gordon to someone like the Blue Jays in this scenario. Then you can put Owings at 2B and Semien at 3B. With the Abreu signing, I'm inclined to keep Alexei for one more year.

QUOTE (scs787 @ Nov 5, 2013 -> 10:01 AM) AZ is expected to discuss with the Cubs about Samardzija so they're looking for pitching. Q should be considered the better pitcher, not sure if I can say the same about Santiago. ERA wise Santiago put up a better number but everywhere else I'd probably give it to Jeff. I'm actually ok with giving Gillaspie/Kepp another year, he's a LH bat who wasn't THAT BAD. I'd rather try to snag Owings/Parra/Barrett which would then open the door to trading Lexi and Reed. Before his Sept. dead arm period, Santiago was actually right around Samardzjia stat wise

QUOTE (DrunkBomber @ Nov 5, 2013 -> 01:27 AM) I have a few friends on FB who are Packer fans saying things like "Congrats, you beat our B team" In all fairness, our B team did beat their B team.
