QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Aug 17, 2015 -> 11:16 PM) I edited all the players with their real contracts and took budgets off. That's how I play RTTS or franchise mode. If you take budgets off, then what's the point of editing players with their real contracts?

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Aug 18, 2015 -> 12:43 PM) Suddenly Trayce is a can't miss prospect. I still don't get his offensive appeal.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Aug 18, 2015 -> 12:44 PM) Just like any other image. Got it, thanks. So, to the original post:

Good article. He has performed very well so far- 4.1 IP, 0 R, 7 K. If he was healthy and our closer last year, we probably would've won 5-6 more games.

If I knew how to post gifs, I would post the Michael Scott "nooooo" gif.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Aug 17, 2015 -> 11:49 PM) They have hit Abreu twice in a week, Sox suppose to let it go. 3 times in a week

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 17, 2015 -> 11:47 PM) Hitting Trout is idiotic...then they'll just come after Abreu, and what's the point of that? They hit Abreu twice today

We got hit 3 times tonight and they got hit 0 times. We need to retaliate tomorrow.

Rodon = good

We better retaliate tomorrow.

3rd HBP... 2nd for Abreu

strike on PitchTrax

Well, at least Heaney's at 100 pitches thru 6

2nd HBP

Nice Alexei

QUOTE (AJUribe @ Aug 17, 2015 -> 10:38 PM) Hahaha, l think that's been the first commercial played, after every half inning, for the past 2 months. I feel like it's gotten to the point where it makes people less inclined to buy their beer. Because the annoying commercial is on so f***ing much.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Aug 16, 2015 -> 10:07 PM) I started working the market a bit on MLB The Show and I've now got a team worth around 150k (started out with maybe a team value of 15k). SP: Fernandez, Sale, Price, Archer, Cole Lineup: Cain (LF), Machado (SS), Votto (1B), Stanton (RF), Frazier (3B), Cano (2B), Bench (Catcher), A. Jones (CF), Pitcher Bullpen: Chapman, Betances, Britton, Storen, Watson, Furbush, Herrera JFC... force trades/ignore budgets? Or is this not a franchise

I do agree that his defense was much better last season

So you're saying bench Avi/Melky? I can't see that happening.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 17, 2015 -> 10:08 PM) Thompson has way more power I wouldn't say "way" more. He has 44 HRs over the past 3 MILB seasons. Hitting just .240 in that span. I'm sorry but I just don't get the hype over his batting. I know he has a nice, patient approach, but other than that, I don't get it.

QUOTE (Knackattack @ Aug 17, 2015 -> 10:06 PM) If what we are seeing tonight and his last start is the real Rodon, he should be pretty effing exciting to watch I can't wait for 2017. Sale Quintana Rodon Fulmer Doesn't matter who #5 is Not to mention, that will likely be Tim Anderson's first year as starting SS. We're doing the opposite of what the Cubs did- we have drafted (sans Quintana, whom we signed) what has the potential to be the best rotation in baseball, while the Cubs have what may one day be the best lineup in baseball. Frankly, I like our route better.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 17, 2015 -> 10:02 PM) Thompson has never hit for average. He has drawn some walks in his career. What's he supposed to be? A .280, 20 home run, 80 ribbie ceiling guy with 15-20 SBs? Not flaming, but what does he project as? Kind of a David DeJesus type career? Maybe an Alex Rios clone? I didn't think Saladino was projected to hit for average either. My point is that they seem to have similar swings, good eyes, good patience, and a little pop. That being said, I'd be overjoyed if Thompson ever hits .280/20/80 in a season. With his defense, that would be incredible. I think he is being a bit overhyped, perhaps because of Klay. I see Trayce as a career 4th outfielder, but a solid one. Good defense, decent speed, and maybe a career .245 hitter.
