QUOTE (GreenSox @ Feb 10, 2016 -> 02:45 PM) He said the Angels have easily the worst farm system he's seen in all of his years of ranking systems.They could easily go last to first if they decide to trade Trout, and I wonder about that - he's probably the best player in baseball, but that team is getting old and bad fast. He's also going to get very expensive over the next couple years, and he won't be providing the insane surplus value he does right now. I know we often laugh off Chris Sale trade suggestions, but I wonder if the long-term health of the Angels franchise would be better if they trade Trout.

QUOTE (ZoomSlowik @ Nov 13, 2015 -> 07:41 PM) Uncharted 2 is still one of my favorite games. I got hooked on the multiplayer in 3 as well (yes, I know I'm doing it wrong). Can't wait for 4 to come out. I can't decide if I want to get Battlefront or not. I fear it will be like Destiny in that it's a fun but highly flawed game that I won't play for more than a few weeks unless I have some friends to keep dragging me back to it (you people know you who you are!). C'mon back to Destiny. The new raid is a blast.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Nov 6, 2015 -> 02:38 PM) I wouldn't mind Weiters either, but that is Boras. I am thinking Avila with how they always talk him up. If healthy he can hit. I would rather the Sox pay Avila a little money than send players for Jason Castro.Avila hasn't been good since 2011. I don't think you can count on him for anything better than Flowers gives you.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Oct 28, 2015 -> 10:52 AM) They appear to not be terribly fond of Cuddyer. Or Eric Hosmer

AJ is in the booth for this one. I wonder if when he retires, we'd give him a call?

Astros with 2 in the top of the first.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Sep 29, 2015 -> 10:36 AM) Yea, but you have to put them on the suspicion of PED list as well. Roger Clemens.....Sure, but I don't know if there's ever been a concrete example of steroids helping pitchers as much as they helped hitters. I feel like the extremely offense-heavy nature of the era backs that up.

It also makes the pitchers who dominated in that era look even better.

nfl.com is saying it's a conditional pick.

Destiny: The Taken King is so far a worthwhile investment. It definitely feels like a finished game now.

Jays killing the Tigers right now 15-1. Encarnacion 3 home runs 9 rbi.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 23, 2015 -> 03:56 PM) Danks just sucks. Soto also calls a terrible game, but at least Cooper has sat on his ass all inningI don't think Soto is telling him to hang all those changeups. Should probably stop calling them for a bit though, since Danks is leaving them over the middle of the plate.

Bad team means bad Danks. 3-1 Mariners.

Man are we playing stupid right now.

I'd rather he bunt than stand there and take strike 3.

That's what you get you idiots.

Why are we walking Fowler to get to their hottest hitter?

Not a good at-bat from Sanchez. Swung at junk in the dirt, probably should have walked, then missed a fastball down the middle.

More White Sox bad baserunning, but we don't pay for it.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 7, 2015 -> 02:58 PM) A guy like that is probably making a $100k tops, probably less. For someone who had millions of dollar contracts before, that is nothing.Probably much better than what they would get doing something else.

Holy mother... WHY would you send him?

Now all of a sudden our offense comes around, so the pitching sucks.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Jul 31, 2015 -> 10:36 AM) I honestly wouldn't be upset if they dealt him. Prices seem high, and we're going to cool down.For a solid deal, even if it's prospects in the lower minors, I definitely think they should. I think Johnson can fill in well for Samardzija, and this system needs talent badly.
