Jose Abreu

3/95 is what I'm seeing

I'm thinking he chose black and white because any other color would cause endless media speculation. Example: Red means he's going to Philly! Dark blue means he's a Yankee! etc. The media doesn't know a team that wears black and white as its primary color exists so he made a good choice here

I could see us signing Brantley for a year or two to complement a big signing

Fegan is much better than most alternatives but you have to learn to read his analysis while assuming that everything written has been lined with an extra layer of pessimism

Only 11/2 and we've already reached *this* point of free agency, but I'm not complaining

Pretty sure it was a joke but he has indeed been unbearably pessimistic and unnecessarily critical of every single thing the Sox do lately.

Bryce Harper confirmed!

All the anti-Trubisky stuff out there on Twitter and ESPN today seems to stem from the misconception that all of his numbers come from screen passes. If you think that, you haven't watched him play. Trubisky is the QB of an air raid offense, Bortles is the QB of a run-first offense, and the former QB is pretty much objectively better than the latter. I don't think Mitch is a top 10 quarterback or anything but the hate he's receiving in the midst of the best season by a Bears QB of all-time is pretty puzzling. If he finishes the season at a similar pace then he's firmly in the top half of NFL quarterbacks in my opinion.

It's also a pretty stupid national "thing"

I'm pretty surprised that you feel this way, given your disdain for Reinsdorf/the front office. Unless you think that such a signing would be a bad thing for the organization?

He had pretty good peripherals in AAA last year. I'd rather give him starts than Dylan Covey

Yes, he was like a top 25 in baseball guy around 2012

Potential #5 starter early on

Surgery for what?

Also, Derrick Rose forever

The Bulls need to do a better job of getting Zach LaVine the ball in transition. That's where he's most effective and they keep missing him wide open.

If you know C++ I think you'd be able to learn SQL, R, and Python pretty easily.

Face it, we're getting Oseweiler'd

Eagles get Golden Tate for a 3rd rounder

But they did deliver some sort of presentation, right? I remember Hahn being reportedly shocked that we didn't make Ohtani's short list

Nobody's forcing you to read it. Those of us who have taken note of recent organizational patterns, comments, and hints obviously believe that the chance is nonzero.
