QUOTE (Blackout Friday @ Aug 27, 2016 -> 07:24 AM) Based on what? A scout that has 14 years in the Blue Jays org? Who is your source? Rick Hahn. He just said the guy hits 93-95 mph. Also, how many rings do the blue jays have in the past 14 years? Just sayin

QUOTE (Blackout Friday @ Aug 27, 2016 -> 07:13 AM) For what it's worth I asked my Blue Jays source that said he's never seen him hit 90. For what it's worth, seems like you have a pretty lousy source

QUOTE (Blackout Friday @ Aug 26, 2016 -> 11:52 PM) Anyways, going to bed now. With my wife. You had one once, but scouted her wrong, correct? Night, night. I've had 3 wives. How bout you bro? Can't top that? Didn't think so

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Aug 26, 2016 -> 12:23 AM) Damn, I like this. Sister goes there, parents went there... who knows, maybe in a year, I'll be going there too (if I'm lucky enough to get in, of course). Nice to hear that they're no-nonsense when it comes to this stuff. I'm annoyed when I hear of speakers who are denied speech at campuses due to kids disagreeing with them. If you don't want to hear what they have to say, don't go. edit- last couple sentences were referencing cancelled voluntary open speeches, not the smaller in-class ones That place truly is where fun goes to die. I highly advise going elsewhere if you want a fun college experience.

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Aug 20, 2016 -> 10:48 PM) Solorzano, Pano, and Rocha combined for a no-hitter! Solorzano - 7 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 8K Pano - 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 2 K Rocha - 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB Zangari hit an oppo-taco. He's heating up. 4 HR in his past 10 games, 15 on the season between GF and Kanny. Still just 19 years old. I miss the days when you would make terrible, terrible nicknames. They were laughable. What happened bro? HoT FiRe!!!!

QUOTE (hi8is @ Aug 10, 2016 -> 08:50 PM) No s***? The Sox are adamant about the "Chris Sale Schedule" for pitchers, when it comes to high pick. Get them in the pen and get them to grace Coop. Coop'll git 'er done!

My source told me he will be moved to AA and come out of the bullpen, to limit his innings. Could set a September call up if he looks good.

I can't imagine what it's been like for Jose. Had no idea he has been separated from his son for this long. I can understand that affecting your work life. And this is coming from one of Jose's harshest critics on this board.

Alex call is a stud. Already a top 10 prospect

Can't believe people don't appreciate how good Jim Thome was. Are they serious?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 28, 2016 -> 03:36 PM) If he sucks that bad, why would someone else want him? Exactly. Reread my post. I hope some poor sucker thinks Abreu is the player he used to be. Maybe some GM will overpay for him.

It's great that Abreu forgot how to hit homeruns. Huge, huge disappointment. Hopefully the sox find some sucker who thinks he is still a starting caliber first basemen. He just isn't this year. Trade him away.

Call is underrated IMO. Why is he below Jameson Fisher? He is younger and has produced better at a tougher position. He should be above Fisher.

It's time to promote Fisher.

I have been debating the pros and cons of trading these guys. Getting rid of both would make the staff very ugly. I think keeping one ace is a good idea. Who would you trade? Sale has greater value in a trade IMO, but they are very similar in terms of quality and worth. Will Q's game age better than Sale's? Judging by their builds and stuff, that is Reasonable thought. I honestly think you trade Sale. Boston would have been perfect for that pitching prospect they just traded and moancada/benintendi + more. A dynamite pitching prospect and hitting prospect is a must if you trade either IMO. All things given, who would you trade and why?

QUOTE (Dunt @ Jul 20, 2016 -> 12:55 PM) There is no way they'd move Call to WS if he keeps hitting like this...right? Anything is possible with this organization. I hope they let him mash in A for a while, if he can keep it up.

I agree on sentiments. Hopefully Frazier will be overvalued by some GMs due to his homeruns. Abreu though.. I think he is done. Maybe he lied about his age, but he is just extremely disappointing. Abreu has lost me as a fan. He needs to step up or I'm tossing his jersey

Call 1-2 with a SB. Really excited about him. He seems legit

I'd slap them both on the block. Frazier can be replaced with lawrie/saladino without a big dropoff. Abreu isn't what we thought he was. 2014 was a fluke. He got figured out. See if any team will overpay for him.

QUOTE (Cknolls @ Jul 15, 2016 -> 01:04 PM) Is this the ISlamic ISIS or the non-ISlamic ISIS that our President is "fighting"? Why does it matter? Who the hell cares what he calls it? Did it bother you when George W. Bush didn't call it "radical Islamic terrorism"? Probably not.

Agreed, agreed, agreed. Abreu has been absolutely KILLING us this whole season. He has been a monumental disappointment, to say the least.

I think it's time, folks. Jose has been a complete and utter disappointment this year. .748 OPS is unacceptable from him. His OPS has taken a .100 point dip each year since his rookie year. Like I previously predicted, Jose has been figured out IMO. You throw him junk outside and he can't resist. Jose Quintana is much more deserving of being on the banner.
