Jose Abreu

Dioner Navarro moving towards deal with unknown team per MLBTR

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Nov 25, 2013 -> 04:30 PM) The phrase "That would be quite a contract". Yes it would compared to my earning power, but the NBA is a capped league with max contracts. You can already write down what the contract amount would be that the Bulls would be able to offer Carmelo Anthony. It's about 4/$95. For the Bulls to be able to offer that contract, they would have to be in a position where their total team payroll for next year was $35 million or less. That would, btw, take more than letting Deng and Boozer walk. So yes the contract would be expensive, but the Bulls would be in a position to rake in tons of money if they were able to offer it, since they'd have very little money on the books for next year and there's no way they could get into luxury tax areas. I understand that my specific scenarios were inaccurate, however it still would be possible. He could potentially take a pay cut, much like "The Big Three" did in Miami. Trades could also be made to make this happen. It's unrealistic, but possible.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Nov 25, 2013 -> 03:52 PM) That's not how the NBA works, but whatever. Well, I said IF our money was shared, but it's not. And what do you mean? How does it work, then? If you're referring to the Bulls not being able to afford Melo, they could just amnesty Boozer and let Deng walk.

If won't affect us, but IF our money was shared with the Bulls, it could potentially hurt us in July. Maybe someone like Melo would want to come here so that **he could be 1 and Rose could be 1A. That would be quite the contract there.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Nov 24, 2013 -> 11:08 PM) You can put "formerly known as ChiSoxFan05" in your signature so people know I will thanks

All we've done so far (with the exception of the signing of me) is get a few AAA scrubs. No, I will rarely post as if I'm Jose Abreu. Just so everyone knows I was formerly known as ChiSoxFan05.

May have been mentioned in another thread, but McCann to NYY, so that's over and done with.

I went to a game against this guy in 2013 and he destroyed us but otherwise we've been good against him

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Nov 21, 2013 -> 05:47 PM) Frank doesn't need to campaign like Ron Santo. He also sounded more than a little jealous of the treatment the team is giving Paulie. Says he doesn't get what the organization is doing. Well I can't say I disagree with him

Awkward. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1859471...amming-national

Yankees or Red Sox will get him, and he's suddenly the best baseball player ever and the whole steroid thing was false (Ortiz) according to ESPN and every fan. A great guy off the field.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Nov 20, 2013 -> 07:22 AM) Even then, the strikeout difference is 200, and that is attributed to one player, Adam Dunn(189). Not the myth that is Ozzie Ball. Ozzie Ball was a really good pitching staff, not an offensive Philosophy/system What about Jim Thome?

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Nov 20, 2013 -> 06:34 AM) Justin Morneau & Derek Jeter took PEDs? No, but I'm saying he still could've won. His stats were still good.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Nov 19, 2013 -> 11:01 PM) Very interesting. I would have been very in favor of us bringing him on at 1 year 8 million. Shows Hahn is looking/expecting to trade a SP because I doubt we would have gone with: 1 Sale 2 Qunitana 3 Johnson 4 Danks 5 Hector 6 Johnson 7 Rienzo Well, chances are one of Johnson and Rienzo would be in the minors. Also, you put Johnson twice. My bad, Josh and Erik. (edit)

Aaaaannnnnndddd Josh Johnson to San Diego for 1/8M

QUOTE (raBBit @ Nov 19, 2013 -> 10:43 PM) 2 year 10 mil+. Could be a good deal for Cleveland. Especially in this market. Believe it or not he's had a handful of pretty good years. I know he has, but it's still a risk. Keppinger-like, in a way, except Keppinger played well in 2012.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Nov 19, 2013 -> 10:35 PM) It was the 5th most home runs in the LEAGUE. And you just disproved your own Ozzie ball theory. Ozzie had teams that could hit it out of the park, period. Just because he gave away outs sometimes doesn't mean his teams didn't have power Well, we were also discussing strikeouts, and if you compare Ozzie's time to Robin's so far, we have far more strikeouts per season then we used to with Ozzie ball.

That's right, good point ^^. Hell, he could've even won in 06 with Oakland.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Nov 19, 2013 -> 10:01 PM) Really? http://www.baseball-reference.com/teams/CH...ml?mobile=false 200 isn't a lot? Well, compared to other Ozzie years, no. http://www.baseball-reference.com/teams/CH...8-batting.shtml http://www.baseball-reference.com/teams/CH...6-batting.shtml

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Nov 19, 2013 -> 09:55 PM) Ozzie ball contained a lot of home runs Not in 05

QUOTE (Jose Paniagua @ Nov 19, 2013 -> 09:45 PM) Why do people put De Aza on the sucked/ship him out list? He's a 2 to 3 WAR guy who's cheap. What is wrong with this? If you dont like him leading off then the problem is just him leading off. For what he costs, the problems lie elsewhere on this team. I agree. If he could just fix that god-awful baserunning and maybe get a slightly better glove...

David Murphy to Cleveland. *crosses name off just-in-case-we-totally-blow-it-list*

He also said, "I have confidence in Rick Hahn," Thomas said. "He's a good guy. But maybe he's lacking the heartbeat of the locker room. I always thought baseball guys should be assistant GMs. But he's not the only one. There are lots of guys out there who study all the statistics."

http://www.csnchicago.com/white-sox/frank-...-four-more-mvps I think maybe two more. One for sure in 2000. Not so sure about four, though. Which years do you think he's referring to? His stats and MVP results (in right column): www.baseball-reference.com/players/t/thomafr04.shtml
