QUOTE (TaylorStSox @ Aug 27, 2011 -> 12:45 AM) I wouldn't even bet that he can make enough contact to get a ball out of the IF. It's one thing to be like Rios, make contact and not be able to drive the ball. It's another to be like Dunn and miss the ball by a foot on 75% of your swings. I've never seen anything like it, in any sport. It's the equivalent of Reggie Miller airballing half of his 3's. It's insane. more like 80% of those 3's

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Aug 27, 2011 -> 12:59 AM) Sale is at 2.65 Crain is at 2.35 According to Sox site. well, we cracked that mystery

QUOTE (chw42 @ Aug 27, 2011 -> 12:45 AM) It was 2.65. I dont think so.. You say it was 2.65 CBS gamecast and box score had him at 1.69 and then ESPN says 2.30

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Aug 27, 2011 -> 12:32 AM) Yeah, pretty sure it's not that low. Second edit, apparently CBSSportsline is the one who needs to look things up.. so its like 2.30 still dominant regardless

lol, settle down greg

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 26, 2011 -> 11:38 PM) Seems like Crain has been up in the zone with everything for the last 2 months. At times, almost seems like he has a sore back. His numbers are good, but I recall him dominating the 2nd half last year with a slider in the dirt. hard to complain about a guy who has a 1.69 era in 58 ip this year.. i know you arent doing that though, i just wanted to point out hes been pretty dominant all year for us

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Aug 26, 2011 -> 10:56 PM) Would an OF of Lilli-De Aza-Viciedo with Milledge as the 4th OF be the worst thing in the world for next year? Yes I think one of the best things about Lillibridge this season is how Ozzie has used him, I don't think wed be seeing the same production had he been a starter this whole time.. and lol, I remember when J4L called Lilli an embarrassment to the game of baseball

who the hell is Viciedo?

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Aug 25, 2011 -> 12:33 AM) Speaking of zombies, I'm playing Altered Beast for Sega Genesis. I can't believe this f***er still works. Riiiissseeeee from your grave!!!!!

Someone is going to go, maybe both.. they are gonna catch a lot of s*** for the failures of this season there's no realistic way they both return to the team next season.. someone will be gone

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Aug 24, 2011 -> 11:48 PM) Let's trade Rios straight up for McCutchen. Then I propose a Peavy/Dunn/Thornton swap for Cole/Taillon and a player to be named later (Josh Bell). Ok now you are just being unrealistic

QUOTE (docsox24 @ Aug 24, 2011 -> 11:44 PM) i would trade dunn to florida for a grapefruit grapefruit is disgusting, how about an orange?

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Aug 24, 2011 -> 11:39 PM) What makes you think the Pirates will make that trade? Drugs? Alcohol? Fantasy?

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Aug 24, 2011 -> 07:28 PM) Anybody can say it, but he walked the walk by signing a sweetheart deal. I can't recall anyone who has taken a deal THAT under market value, even our hero Konerko. Its different when you are actually FROM the area

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Aug 24, 2011 -> 03:34 PM) A power hitting catcher is definitely better than a struggling 2B in value alone. However we have a decent young core comparable to what you listed of theirs, pitching and offense alike. Sale Reliever as of now, nothing special Danks Not gonna be around for long Floyd Mediocre Morel Better figure out how to hit up here Alexei ok Beckham Worthless with the bat Viciedo ?, but I believe will be solid Flowers ok Stewart prolly decent back of the rotation guy Humber prolly decent back of the rotation guy Not that bad of a core.

There is zero chance he takes one snap and then sits out the game, that would tarnish his reputation pretty good

I would trade Dunn to Florida for Mike Stanton

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Aug 23, 2011 -> 12:31 PM) He'd be an upgrade for the Orioles, too. But there's no point. We'd be rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic. If we acquired Thome, say, 2 months ago, it'd be a benefit. At this point, it's too little too late. lol ok, now you're just a hater and there is no point in trying to discuss this with you.. the Orioles are damn near 30 games out of first place, were not..

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Aug 23, 2011 -> 12:28 PM) That has been my point this entire time. It does not benefit the Sox to claim him, so why do it? It only serves to screw him out of a chance to win a title. Really? There is no benefit from claiming him? Would he not be an upgrade over a guy in our lineup hitting .169?

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Aug 23, 2011 -> 12:25 PM) And I've been extremely right so far. The only reason we've remained "in" the race is because of the s***tiness of the division. And since then, the Tigers have gotten even better. I've also said since the beginning that the Sox could still win the division, due only to how bad it is, but that we would do absolutely nothing if we miraculously made the playoffs. I don't think we've gained on the Tigers in over a month or two. I see nothing changing. Yes, the fact that the division is s***ty is a perfect example of why we can still win it with so many games left against these same s***ty teams..

QUOTE (MAX @ Aug 23, 2011 -> 12:23 PM) The thought that we shouldn't take him because we might hurt his chances at a championship never crossed my mind because as I said, its too unpredictable to pick a champion right now. I'm not even certain which teams are going to be in the playoffs save a few. I thought the thread was made to discuss if the white sox would benefit from claiming him in the long and short term. Clearly we would benefit from claiming him since Dunn has been completely worthless all year long, there isnt anything really long term about it

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Aug 23, 2011 -> 12:17 PM) He'd be a pinch hitter, and likely a good one. And I can't believe you actually would believe that's s***tier. But then again, I can't believe you actually think there's a chance the Sox still win this thing. Yawn.. you gave up on the seasons in April, so I don't really care what kind of witty green responses you have for me.. were 5.5 games out with 6 games against Detroit and the rest of em against KC/CLE/MIN so yes there is still a very real chance we can win the division if we can take care of business..

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Aug 23, 2011 -> 12:13 PM) Because you're basically screwing the classiest player in baseball (possibly in the entire history of the game) from getting his final shot at a title just because you're too stubborn to admit that you don't really have a chance. I think its more s***ty to just let someone who could help your team out go to an arranged team so they can sit on the bench and get a WS title he didn't even earn just so he can have one.. that is whats s***ty..

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Aug 23, 2011 -> 12:09 PM) Well if you truly believe we are still contenders for a WS title then so be it. I do not hold the same belief whatsoever. Its about making the effort for that.. they already decided they were going for it when they didn't make any real moves at the deadline, so whats the point of b****ing about it now you might as well just hope they can sneak into the playoffs and see what happens.. Thome would help that push, I don't think hed be upset coming here

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Aug 23, 2011 -> 12:05 PM) Ugh, the only people with that attitude are the very few fans of the Sox who still think we're in it. I guarantee even Thome would breathe a sigh of disappointment if he heard that the Sox claimed him, and probably his teammates on both the Twins and Sox. Were 5.5 games out with the entire month of September playing the division, give it a rest with the doom and gloom crap.. were not out of it yet
