And I'm saying this trilogy would have been better with just 1 of them doing all 3 movies, and based on where the first one could have gone, I liked where Abrams was going. But we don't know where Rian Johnson would have taken his own trilogy since he was inserted in to someone else's world.

You don't think the events of the 2nd movie has any influence on what Abrams did the for 3rd movie? Then yes, agree to disagree that this trilogy had a cohesive, singular voice throughout the storyline of the 3 movies.

White Sox players with a chance to crack this list...... Grandal, Moncada and then....maybe Abreu, Eloy, Anderson, Giolito, and Colome?

Does Rey and Kylo's "kind of like siblings" kiss annoy you just as much as Luke and Leia's ACTUAL SIBLINGS kiss? I totally agree that Rey and Kylo's was absolutely stupid and didn't fit at all, given there was ZERO romantic tension between them ever, but despite there being ACTUAL romantic tension between Luke and Leia, the fact of the matter is still that they are related and that should be even weirder for different reasons.

You honestly think Palpatine coming back was Abram's plan all along? I don't even know if Rey being related to a Palpatine was even something that would have ever occured. I'm sure Abrams didn't plan to kill Snoke in the 2nd movie, and maybe not even Luke. I'm shocked you think Abrams would have done the 2nd movie the exact same way that Rian Johnson did the second movie, to arrive at the storylines of the 3rd movie.

You're trying to tell me you watched The Last Jedi and couldn't see that Rian Johnson took many of the characters and storylines in a different direction than Abrams was tracking them for in The Force Awakens??? Did you miss the entire "You're nobody Rey. Anyone can be a Jedi" storyline of the entire movie?

Yes, given all the other moves they made, I'm no longer extremely frustrated with that trade because Mazara is now the worst player on this team and in this line-up, and that's fine, given the chance he somehow figures it out. It's not like running JB Shuck out there in RF.

They are a team trying to contend, looking for OF help, and willing to give up Mazara. That's how little they thought of Mazara.

I would have preferred Abrams did the whole thing. I liked where he was going with TFA before Rian Johnson fucked it all up. But either way, one consistent voice was needed. Either would have been better on their own than this back and forth shit.

Like I said, more interesting. ?

I think/hope the gamethreads in 2020 will be a lot more active and interesting now that we all have the same rooting interest.

Hunter Pence is still out there.

Phase 3 is well underway.

I keep thinking she would be great as Xena Warrior Princess.

Every time there is an update to this thread I keep thinking it's that he has retired.

Absolutely.

I would still like to see them trade Collins + prospects to the Pirates for Starlin Marte. Maybe even expand that trade to make it Marte + RP Keone Kela since he's only got 1 year left on his deal anyway.

Cue the wet fart sound effect. Put me on the record as not liking this. Not a Keuchel fan at all. Hope he proves me wrong, but I'm not even convinced Gio Gonzalez won't outperform him next year on a start for start basis.

I think RoS was better than TLJ for sure, but I still liked The Force Awakens more. The reviews about it being extremely and over the top fan service was true. A couple of things towards the end seemed really out of place and strange. But it was definitely action packed and a thrill ride. But they had many, many chances to really put their stamp on this trilogy and they really played it safe and made sure they gave everyone a soft landing. Didn't hate it, I'm not mad, but it just seemed it was just fine. Series finales are tough though, and Rian Johnson shitting on the middle act of the trilogy doesn't help.

Just like Ted winning in the 4th season of The League, we yet again have this random guy that one person recruited to the league when we needed a last minute spot.....win for the 2nd year in a row. He's been in our league for 2 years, he's won both years. And this season he slipped in the playoffs with a 7-5 record and won it all. Bastard. We do an engraved trophy that we pass around, but the hell if I am going to give this random guy our trophy, so it will once again sit in the attic.

3 yrs/$56M is something I would like to see for Ryu. which means it will probably take something like 4 yrs/$70M.

Thank God the Sox didn't get him, and that price isn't bad, so it shouldn't inflate Ryu's market much.

It's like you've never heard of Miles Mikolas of the Nippon Professional Baseball, or Eric Thames, also from the Korean Baseball Organization.

Fuck that. Take on every dollar of Price's contract. 3 yrs/$96M. The Sox don't seem hot to spend the money anyway, so the more money the White Sox take on, the better the return. Figure out a way to get Benintendi, or JDM, or if they don't want to subtract from their major league roster, take Noah Song, Gilberto Jimenez, one of their better prospects.
