Jose Abreu

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Feb 19, 2017 -> 07:58 PM) I DVRed the dunk contest. Any reason to watch or should I just delete it? I thought it was horrible. Even had multiple players performing the exact same dunk. Not worth it

I heard that the Butler/Boston stuff is false, and Wade/Butler have been recruiting Melo this weekend.

I really think you guys aren't giving the roster enough credit in your predictions. It's not like all of our big prospects are many years away. The majority of them will be up as soon as 2017/2018, and we know that Hahn will make more moves in that span. I think we could be a fringe playoff team in 2018, and a contender as early as 2019.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 17, 2017 -> 09:59 AM) Its really too bad his career took the Ron Kittle route instead of actually lasting a while. He was one of those guys you stopped to watch their ABs. For sure. 2008 Quentin was definitely that. The only other time I've always felt the need to be watching/following every AB of a player since then was 2014 Abreu, especially in the second half.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Feb 17, 2017 -> 11:35 AM) No one is questioning his offensive ability. He's just a prototypical DH that's forced to play the outfield and is terrible at it. A prototypical DH, who, also, is putrid against LHP. His value is completely overestimated. He's an asset on an AL team in games vs. a RHP.

QUOTE (bmags @ Feb 16, 2017 -> 03:06 PM) That MLB network countdown is such garbage, but I think by it's nature it will get weird results. Easier to do top 10 by positions than a top 100. But judging by the value positionless boppers like Hanley Ramirez got this offseason, does anyone think he ranks as high as Quintana? Sale was ranked as the 30th best player in baseball, with Lester and Arrieta having better rankings than him. Lol

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Feb 15, 2017 -> 10:49 AM) Rick Hahn dabbing could also be an option. I would deactivate my account... maybe

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Feb 15, 2017 -> 10:50 AM) Rick Hahn coaching first base at his son's little league game with a confused look on his face reading a text on his phone about the Sale jersey incident. This.

PSA: lids.com has some really good deals on Sox gear today. I bought a cap and a couple shirts, and a Bulls jersey for $28. I suggest you guys check it out if you need more Sox stuff.

Kinda similar, but I myself have always thought that, in a key spot (bases loaded, late in game, etc.) with a bottom of the order hitting, he might as well lean into one.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Feb 9, 2017 -> 09:47 PM) This Phil Rogers piece from tonight says that the Astros have been unwilling to include to include Kyle Tucker in trade talks which is borderline insanity: http://m.mlb.com/news/article/215591558/wh...picid=151437456 It does explain why a deal hasn't been consummated if true. The Astros are idiots. No Bregman OR Tucker?? Hope they enjoy missing the playoffs or not advancing in them because of their lack of starting pitching.

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Feb 9, 2017 -> 01:28 PM) I didn't even post the rumor because I don't even follow the guy on twitter. I only see things from him when WhiteSoxDave or Owen or someone retweets it. I never said he was credible, I just said he has gotten a couple things right recently so he is worth monitoring. Well, if you throw enough at the wall...

QUOTE (shipps @ Feb 9, 2017 -> 01:23 PM) How about the timing on this one from Sears? Its like he was intentionally trying to show chili he was making s*** up. If there was any question before he cleared that up pretty damn quickly. Anything or anyone associated with sportsmockery isnt credible at all. ^

The pace of play problem needs to be addressed with AL East teams. Playing them is unbearable.

Once Q/Robertson/one of Melky or Frazier are gone, we'll finish 64-98.

Jose Quintana will be traded on Wednesday, February 15th, at exactly 5:14 PM CT.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Feb 1, 2017 -> 03:56 PM) Mazara, despite the fact that I think he is rather overrated, is one of those guys who the Rangers aren't going to be willing to trade because he is a key piece of the current 25-man roster. It doesn't make sense to subtract part of what you gain in Quintana. That being said, we don't match up with Texas. Profar, Gallo, Mendez aren't very attractive headliners.

I'm not interested in an injury-prone, relatively short tenured Profar or the strikeout king Gallo. Give me Mazara, Mendez, Taveras and Guzman for Quintana.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Feb 1, 2017 -> 03:43 PM) Grant even speculates that they are leveraging Houston. Sox don't usually do this though until they are far along in the process. Good point. Perhaps we have framework with Houston and are trying to get one more piece.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Feb 1, 2017 -> 03:40 PM) This return would be way too light IMO. I'm with you on that.

Here's the article that shot this down: http://sportsday.dallasnews.com/texas-rang...h-jose-quintana

Robertson and Frazier to TOR for Reid-Foley, Alford, and Harold Ramirez

QUOTE (shipps @ Jan 31, 2017 -> 03:01 PM) Man, I know its all we got right now but how are you guys still interested with offering up hypothetical's for Q? Havent we already ran through about all the possibilities like 1000 times through, if not more, for each possibility multiple times? This. I've been done with all the Q rumors since mid-December. I feel like every possible trade has been proposed.

Anyone who treats Sports Mockery as a legit source should know that they've cited several posters in here, including myself, as a source. They basically just type whatever they want and say they have sources and some people actually believe it.
