Sox scouts must be really low on Pirates prospects not named Bell or Meadows

I have accepted the fact that Q will not get traded before opening day. I suggest everyone else to do the same.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Feb 10, 2017 -> 12:07 PM) Colombia's roster doesn't look too good at first glance so hopefully they're eliminated quickly. Or maybe Q will carry them to the finals by putting on a clinic

I have said it before but i wish nothing but failure for the Astros

QUOTE (flavum @ Feb 9, 2017 -> 06:28 PM) Bruce Levine was on the Score and is sticking with the Sox trading Quintana before reporting day. But he also said he was basing this on his own feelings, not inside information. I agree with him, but if it isn't tomorrow, I think we'll see Q pitching in the WBC as Sox property. Not looking forward to following the Sox while crossing my fingers that Q lives up to expectations and stays healthy. I will make a sacrifice before every start he makes.

according to OOTP 18 we will be 62-100 with PITIFUL performances from Rodon and Quintana

Of course he does

QUOTE (beautox @ Feb 8, 2017 -> 01:39 PM) thats just silly Quintana's last two years are options so if he did manage to s*** the bed they would be on the hook for 2M thats it so for 17 and 18 and his buy outs 16.8M, thats nothing like Danks at all, its even more risk adverse If you are giving up the required package for him then yes it is a risk. A risk they don't have to take at the moment.

There is no reason for the Yankees to get Q right now. If he is destroys the league again next season then sure, but there is no reason to risk acquiring him. He could turn into Danks 2.0 with time.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Feb 7, 2017 -> 07:46 PM) I'm still hoping the Yankees enter the picture for Q again. A package led by Frazier and Rutherford would be pretty exciting. It really would. Frazier seems like a really marketable player

I will be beta testing for OOTP 18 so I will throw down some ratings from our farm + trade scenarios for Q during some sims. Will post them here!

Does this take into account that Moncada, Lopez, and Giolito won't be in the bigs to start the year?

Martes Tucker Whitley Yada yada yada

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Feb 4, 2017 -> 12:16 PM) None taken dude. Negativity always outweighs positivity. Men feel better about themselves when they insult rather than praise so you are just typical of the gender. No offense dude. Are you trolling or just plain delusional?

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Feb 3, 2017 -> 04:14 PM) Sounds like the Astros owner is seeing those picks as a way to help replenish their farm after trading prospects away for a pitcher. Sounds about right since those picks cannot be traded at this time. Maybe those picks loosen up Luhnow's pucker enough to actually get a deal done for Q. His pucker? What kind of negotiator is Rick Hahn?

Nightengale with another speculative and cryptic tweet.. feeling frustrated with him

Rizzo wasn't so good when he was promoted either. I would be happy with Reed as a 3rd piece

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Feb 3, 2017 -> 08:01 AM) Prediction - Jose Guillermo Quintana is traded for Kyle Tucker, Francis Martes, Ramon Laureano, and the 75th pick on February 10th at EXACTLY 3:24 PM. My calculations say 4:36

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Feb 2, 2017 -> 11:46 PM) You're inferring, there's nothing explicit in the article. Nightengale is insinuating which is fun but there's nothing definitive here, he's just rehashing the 2 names that have been in the mainstream for awhile now. Bob isn't guessing. He wrote that Crain mentioned those two names when discussing starting pitching.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Feb 1, 2017 -> 06:27 PM) Wonder if this has anything to do with how the Xmas eve deal fell apart. Doubt it considering they would have done the surgery a month ago

If they are indeed using him like this then they are going to have to throw him a bone. Yes Rangers might be interested, but the dudes credibility has spiraled downwards.

QUOTE (shipps @ Feb 1, 2017 -> 04:48 PM) If they are leveraging Houston they should have used the Pirates whom they have actually had some reportedly serious discussions with. Houston isn't in the NL Central anymore

We know that Tampa was interested in Profar last week. Could this be part of a three team deal assuming it isn't just leveraging for Houston? What deal makes sense for all teams?

Yuck

If you love this kind of stuff you should be doing an online OOTP league..
