  3. Looks like Tottenham has finally struck a deal with F Vincent Janssen
  4. http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2016/07/carl...in-a-trade.html I think CarGo would be a great addition to the lineup. Wonder what it would take to get him here?
  5. Stan Bowman was out watching Vesey yesterday. Swoop him in Stan! Vesey-Toews-Hossa Panarin-Anisomov-Kane Panik-Kruger Schmaltz Desjardins-Rasmussen-Hartman Tootoo, Mashinter
  6. Adrian Wojnarowski ‏@WojVerticalNBA 1m1 minute ago Dwyane Wade has informed the Bulls he plans to sign a deal with them, sources tell @TheVertical. Bulls sending out contracts now. K.C. Johnson ‏@KCJHoop 22s22 seconds ago Bulls have found a trading partner for Calderon, per source.
  7. QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 6, 2016 -> 01:21 PM) Good luck!@ Thank you!
  8. QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jul 6, 2016 -> 06:23 PM) Anyone trade they make would be contingent on Wade signing... So we think, never know with this FO.
  9. Adrian Wojnarowski ‏@WojVerticalNBA 3m3 minutes ago Sources: In last few hours, Bulls calling teams to unload contracts, trying to create space to sign Dwyane Wade. Wade is serious about them. I hope the Bulls trade Taj and Dunleavy to contenders then Wade resigns with the Heat lolol.
  10. So the Sox luck in the minors continues to suck. Spencer Adams gives up 6 after 3 and leaves due to injury.
  11. QUOTE (Jose Paniagua @ Jul 6, 2016 -> 03:53 PM) Holding onto Rodon is lose-lose. You wait and wait for him to be a cheap great pitcher, and then by that time he's a near-lock to leave since he's w/ Boras Other scenario: he doesnt become good. Here's an interesting trade idea: Carlos Rodon to the Rockies for OF David Dahl.
  12. QUOTE (TRU @ Jul 6, 2016 -> 04:16 PM) Well, at least his ERA is still 0.00 It's not though lol. It's technically infinity
  13. QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 6, 2016 -> 03:23 PM) whitesoxdave ‏@barstoolWSD 10m10 minutes ago Chicago, IL Buster Olney just said on ESPN Radio the White Sox should sell high with Quintana to the BoSox and that they'd def overpay #Benintendi Andrew Benintendi, Anderson Espinoza, and 3B Rafael Devers.
  14. Me and the girlfriend just got approved for our first apartment. We'll be moving in together later this month.
  15. K.C Johnson reporting Bulls front office isn't in NY either.
  16. QUOTE (GreenSox @ Jul 6, 2016 -> 11:57 AM) Fulmer was a top 10 pick. Starter should be the expectation, not the upside. Winning organizations do not use top 10 picks for bullpen expectations. Sox passed on best college hitter in the draft, so I certainly hope that 3 or above Starter was and is the expectation. Bullpen for #26 is dubious proposition itself, But for a top 10, it's ridiculous. Are you talking about Ian Happ? I think Swanson, Bregman, and Benintendi are a lot better than Happ.
  17. QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jul 6, 2016 -> 09:44 AM) Alex Kennedy ‏@AlexKennedyNBA 2m2 minutes ago Jimmy Butler and Rajon Rondo have been recruiting Dwyane Wade to Chicago, according to sources close to situation. 7 retweets 2 likes Younger and athletic baby.
  18. QUOTE (harkness @ Jul 5, 2016 -> 10:50 PM) to get shut out by that meatball throwing pitcher was pretty embarrassing. Tanaka's pretty good.....
  19. QUOTE (GreenSox @ Jul 5, 2016 -> 09:02 PM) Because he doesn't have all the pitches to be a starter. And while the Sox think that they could make him into a starter, I haven't seen much out of them that that's a high priority. Hahn seems intent on rushing him up, just like he did with Rodon (hope it works out better than the Rodon rush-up did; he still doesn't have a change). Burdi does have 3 pitches. Fastball, change, slider.
  20. QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 5, 2016 -> 07:49 AM) http://www.brewcrewball.com/2016/6/23/1201...f-junior-guerra There’s really no indication that Junior is going to slow down anytime soon, either. While some might point to his low .262 BABIP, fly-ball pitchers like Guerra tend to have a lower than average BABIP and he’s shown to be adept at producing an above-average amount of pop-ups. He generates plenty of swings-and-misses, especially with his devastating splitter, a pitch that can catch throw hitters for a loop since only 43 of the 582 pitchers that have appeared in the big leagues this year have been recorded as throwing one (according to Pitch F/X data from Fangraphs). Junior’s walk rate, which has plagued him on occasion during his ascension to the big leagues, has been kept well under control. He has great poise and composure on the mound and has certainly carried himself as though he belongs near the front of a major league rotation. It’s not altogether unreasonable to think that Juni G may improve upon his already impressive numbers, as well. Guerra has certainly followed a non-linear development path, originally signing as a catcher in 2001 and not converting to the mound until 2006 at age 21. Not only did Guerra need to learn an arsenal of pitches to come after hitters with, but he needed to find proper mechanics, had to be taught how to control the run game, how to field a new position, etc. The bulk of this development, including the addition of his split-finger to his repertoire about five years ago, took place while Junior was pitching in independent ball. Now that he’s found a foothold in the major leagues and gets to work with some of the best coaches on the planet on a daily basis, Guerra should be able to continue refining his process and improving his performance. In spite of his relatively advanced age, Guerra is still a “young arm” in terms of workload, as well. Since he’s only been pitching for about 10 years, he has much less mileage on his right arm than the typical 31 year old would. According to his pitching register at Baseball-Reference, Junior has thrown less than 780 innings during his professional career, or roughly the same amount of pro innings as Wily Peralta had logged by age 23. That should no doubt bode well for Guerra’s chances to defy the typical aging curve and stave off father time while remaining effective as he enters his mid-30s. Something about the 31 year old with four big league innings piqued the interest of Slingin’ David Stearns back in October, when he was claimed off waivers from the White Sox with Stearns’ first transaction as GM. Thus far, the move has paid off in spades. Guerra has ascended from waiver claim on the fringes of the big leagues to a workhorse starter that is occupying the role of #2016BrewersAce, and there is a distinct possibility that he’ll continue to improve at the major league level. One never knows where exactly a team will find valuable talent, and perhaps Junior Guerra is on his way to becoming the Brewers’ version of Jake Arrieta - a buy-low pitcher who morphs into an unexpectedly dominant front-line starter. Really, no one cares about Junior Guerra. He's 30 years old and having a good year, not the first to do it. How do you think the O's feel after Arrieta's success? What about Loaiza and Contraras to the Sox? I'm sure there are many more examples that I can't think of right now, but teams miss on players all the time, and it will keep happening.
  21. QUOTE (RegionSox @ Jul 2, 2016 -> 01:56 PM) They resigned Richard Panik, so I'm thinking he's probably playing on the first line. I also don't think the Blackhawks will sign Vesey. Totally forgot about Panik. Insert him instead of Vesey. Then Panik and Versteeg could be interchangeable.
  22. Darren Dreger ‏@DarrenDreger 14h14 hours ago NHL interest in Kris Versteeg based on experience...2 Cups. Also hearing there's interest in Switzerland if an NHL fit doesn't surface. Why not go after Versteeg? I'm sure he can be had for cheap. Can play on any line, knows the system, has chemistry with most of the players. Versteeg-Toeas-Hossa Panarin-Anisomov-Kane Vesey-Kruger-Schmaltz Desjardins-Rasmussen-Hartman Mashinter Keith-Seabrook Hjalmarsson-Campbell Kempny-TVR Rozival Crawford Darling Thoughts?
