January 2, 201511 yr Author no, I'm talking about Kiplinger. I never thought much of him when he was standing in the batter's box, and he proved he stole JR.s money. thanks, douglas

Did you know that Rudyard Kipling wrote the musical Guys & Dolls? Wonder if there's any relation.

January 5, 201511 yr QUOTE (LDF @ Jan 4, 2015 -> 11:45 AM) does anyone have a espn subscription??? olney talked about Scherzer mlb teams breakdown fit. http://insider.espn.go.com/blog/buster-oln...mp;refresh=true Here's the Sox part: Chicago White Sox: A rotation that included Chris Sale, Scherzer, Jeff Samardzija and Jose Quintana would be interesting, but probably unworkable, given the team's other salary obligations.
January 5, 201511 yr QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Jan 5, 2015 -> 01:20 AM) Here's the Sox part: Sure it could work. All that has to happen, is Reinsdorf saying "make it happen", and Hahn could call up Scherzer's agent and make it happen. Will it happen? Nah. But it's not because JR doesn't have the money.
January 5, 201511 yr QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Jan 5, 2015 -> 12:20 AM) Here's the Sox part: Hard hitting analysis there, that's why Olney gets paid the big bucks!

January 5, 201511 yr QUOTE (lvjeremylv @ Jan 5, 2015 -> 12:44 AM) Sure it could work. All that has to happen, is Reinsdorf saying "make it happen", and Hahn could call up Scherzer's agent and make it happen. Will it happen? Nah. But it's not because JR doesn't have the money. plus no way you wanna tie up that huge chunk on money for taht many years where it has almost proven that long term big contract deals seldom pan out. The only way that Sox could afford him is short term, but it would take some serious magic. Unload Danks and Viciedo and that frees 20 million. May get Max for 25 million, so in essence you'd be getting him short term for 5 mil a year for the remaing length of Danks contract. Scherzer definately is not coming here. Just hoping that anyone gets him besides Detroit
January 5, 201511 yr i am still going to preach the concept, if the cost of getting this or any pitcher is NOT cost prohibitive, i would get a 1yr or 2 yr rental, a SP who will walk, give him a QO and hopefully redeem a draft pick. lets look at the Marlins, they have won 2 world series and immediately dismantle the team. i am not saying completely dismantle the team but to let them walk with a QO, to help the farm system.

I think a lot of that money possibly just went to Bonifacio, unfortunately. I agree with the concept, though. If it was up to me, we'd only be betting on ONE of Danks/Noesi to break in the rotation next year. I think the Sox see Danks as a lock, though, and assume that Rodon will put pressure on Noesi eventually. The thing no one ever brings up, though, is that SOMEONE is likely to get injured.

The thing no one ever brings up, though, is that SOMEONE is likely to get injured. the thing is the sox will not bring up Rodon up prior to the time to get that extra yr value. this is my opinion. so here is the question, when is that date??? until then i preach have other option available and lets not go into the season hoping and assuming.
January 5, 201511 yr QUOTE (LDF @ Dec 30, 2014 -> 12:31 PM) right now, i am more concern in having a backup plan / platoon for Avi and Eaton. Know the thread got zero traction recently, but his name is Ichiro: "The 41-year-old batted .284/.324/.340 in 385 plate appearances for the Yankees last season. Ichiro is clearly no longer the player he once was, but both Ultimate Zone Rating and Defensive Runs Saved pegged him as an average defender in right field this season, and he’s still a skilled baserunner, as evidenced in part by his 15-for-18 mark in stolen bases." - MLBTradeRumors.com / Fangraphs
