January 4, 201214 yr QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jan 3, 2012 -> 06:44 PM) I'm wondering who Cowley is referring to who was in a "6-month slump" that we rewarded. I'm assuming he's talking about any one of Rios/Peavy/Dunn, regardless of the situations being entirely different.

I'll always be thankful for you ending our 95-year title drought. I surveyed 100 people in Kansas City, & 95 of them thought JD was a great guy and should still be on the White Sox.

I'll always be thankful for you ending our 95-year title drought. I refuse to look at JD in association with Crowley. I refuse to look at anything in association with Crowley. I would be happy if Soxtalk would just ignore his ass. Is there an "ignore all posts that mention Crowley" function? No offense to anyone on Soxtalk, just sick of his attitude. I already unfollowed him years ago. I do not buy anything Suntimes and I turn off the Score if he is on. Go away Joe.

January 4, 201214 yr QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jan 3, 2012 -> 06:35 PM) Well f*** JD too then. He can just go play with his current team...oh wait, no one wanted him. This. I'm sure nobody is crying that Dye won't be in attendance.

Jordan4Life writes a poem like Soxtalk fully owes him He writes so sincere Yet it's merely a sneer Cuz he knows that Greg775 just owns him

Royals fans I talk to are amazed at the Quentin trade. They see it as a real player dealt for 2 lousy prospects. I don't know why you guys don't care to know the perception of the White Sox in Kansas City. The Sox are currently seen as a joke. The Quentin trade is the latest head-scratcher. I had several people ask me if Sox fans were furious. I said, "Not the ones I know. They love the trade. They hate Quentin and love whenever we get guys with no track record. Our fans love the unknown." They are AMAZED we gave Quentin away for nothing. They asked me if I was upset at the trade. I said of course I was. Edited January 4, 201214 yr by greg775

That would be some deep undercover FBI trolling! I don't mind the Quentin trade. Castro looks like he could have a bright future if the Sox especially if it is true that they see something mechanical.

I'm guessing most people you talked to have no perception of the value of a baseball player. With regards to the scouting community, Carlos Quentin has exactly 1 good tool, and that is his power. If he hits .280, he can be a legit MVP candidate. But, as is usually the case, he will hit anywhere between .230-.250, his power numbers will suffer as a result, and he'll put up an .850 OPS at best, which is good before you consider his mediocre arm, bad defense, and oft-injured nature. On top of that, he's going to make anywhere probably $7 or $8 mill this year and then he's a free agent, so he either gets really expensive or he gets really injured, and the Sox end up with nothing either way. I bet Viciedo has a better WAR than Quentin this year. I'm actually quite confident he will. **For clarification purposes, Quentin was and still will be a player I enjoy to watch hit, especially when he is going good. I'm also not crazy about the trade. At the end of the day, it's hard to complain about it because you can't ask for much more than two live arms considering the total value of Quentin. They could have tried to deal him midseason, but it's just as likely that he gets hurt for a period of time and you are lucky to get 1 of those arms for him. Edited January 4, 201214 yr by witesoxfan
