QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jul 9, 2014 -> 01:43 PM) I would expect the Sox to explore this ASAP. BUT BUT What number will he wear?

AJP to be designated for assignment. Let the AJ bulls*** begin.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 9, 2014 -> 11:05 AM) CHK in the house *like*

Flowers seems like a really nice guy, so I hope the best for him... But... holy fish sticks Batman! He is hard to watch. Its getting cringe-worthy.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Jul 8, 2014 -> 11:23 PM) Love you, Presidio, TX. 100% Chris Sale. I've got coastal SC covered.

Let's just not draft any players ever again, since... OBVIOUSLY regardless of where the team is in the draft order, its the wrong spot.

Also, the guy who wrote Gordon Beckham's walkup song died this morning, so maybe Gordo will dedicate tonight's 4-4 performance to him.

I am really looking forward to this game. I hope Sale sticks the all-star snub up Farrell's ass tonight.

If Phegley wasn't such a brutal defender, they probably would have made the switch already. Such is the problem with a poor "farm system". There is no one to call up. #sadface

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jul 8, 2014 -> 01:40 PM) Wait the Cardinals were willing to trade Wacha for Peavy?? He "reported" that it was discussed. That could have ben Hahn asking for Wacha and STL saying NO. *shrug*

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jul 1, 2014 -> 08:49 PM) Sox released Maikel Cleto? Mlbtraderumors says so. He is still listed as active on the Charlotte roster and last pitched (poorly, albeit) on 7/6 http://www.milb.com/milb/stats/stats.jsp?p...&pid=521055

QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ Jul 8, 2014 -> 11:29 AM) Well, its expensive, they live pretty far out, traffic, kids, etc...... Too cold, weeknight games, Bears/Bulls/Blackhawks/Fire/Spark/UFC was same night...

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 8, 2014 -> 07:01 AM) I'd say that clinches Gold Glove #6 my favorite quote from the comments: "Why is this news? We've been watching Jeter pretend to play shortstop for decades now."

QUOTE (Melissa1334 @ Jul 8, 2014 -> 10:07 AM) Danny Knobler ‏@DannyKnobler 27h MLB says Morneau, Sale leading All-Star Final Vote. Expand Hopefully this doesnt mean people will stop voting....

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Jul 7, 2014 -> 05:29 PM) fWAR uses FIP, so it strips the influence of defense on a pitcher's success. Everyone, including FanGraphs, believe that FIP probably goes too far in it's culling, and may underrate pitchers that are uncommonly good at inducing weak contact or preventing homeruns. bWAR uses ERA, so it assumes that a pitcher is responsible for the entirety of a teams defensive effort when he is on the mound. This is inherently unstable and non-predictive because a pitcher is given credit or harmed if (1) his defense is or is performing above or below average, if the pitcher has been lucky or unlucky through BABIP fluctuations, and (3) the pitcher has been lucky or unlucky in terms of run or hit sequencing. The argument fWAR is accuracy over completeness; the argument for bWAR is completeness over accuracy. The truth is somewhere between the two, but most pundits believe it is closer to fWAR. If the truth lies somewhere between then why not average them out? aWar = (bWar+fWar)/2

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Jul 6, 2014 -> 09:04 PM) #solvingcaptchasforchrissale I was really hoping their security would be as lax as it was for Pods and AJ. All they required was a random six-digit number that matched. That was easy to jackup with JavaScript. Not worth the time this year.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 6, 2014 -> 06:33 PM) Kazmir and Buerhle were less deserving than Sale, but Kluber was snubbed also and is definitely more deserving. Richards in in the top-10 in pretty much everything ex cecpt walks and WHIP (because of walks) and should go as well.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 6, 2014 -> 06:30 PM) That's awesome Neshek made it after what he's gone through. Indeed. #thumbsup.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 6, 2014 -> 06:29 PM) Right at Farrell, who passed on him We don't know that. For all we know, Jerry Reinsdorf called him and said "dont f***ing think about it" Tanaka won't pitch, so someone else will go in his place.

Cruz DH, Cabrera 1B

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 6, 2014 -> 06:05 PM) Donaldson, Jeter, Cano, Cruz, Sal Perez in the infield Cabrera not voted in? Shocker.

Ya know whats fun? re-watching Petricka embarass the Mariners with that 98 mph cheese. If Petricka can throw 95-98, down with THAT movement ... AND a change up... "But I thought I was the closer of the future..."

QUOTE (LDF @ Jul 6, 2014 -> 05:40 PM) except for the marlin / mets being mention, I think we have had more informative discussion with regard to trades. the idea of the yank with looking for more pitching is still something that have yet to be confirmed. ummm I wonder if he has been reading soxtalk, maybe not. Ha, yup. He probably read my "When McCarthy's arm falls off" post.....

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jul 6, 2014 -> 03:35 PM) I like it. Those caricatures are all life-sized too, Eaton is THAT short.
