QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Feb 21, 2018 -> 08:09 AM) Yes, they did, in 2015. When Moustakas was 27 years old and put up a nearly 4-win season -- which is something he hasn't even sniffed since. In 2020, he'll be 32 years old. The Cardinals won a World Series in 2011 with Albert Pujols in the middle of their lineup. That doesn't mean that should be the Angels' plan now. The Cardinals also won a World Series in 2011 with Ryan Theriot batting leadoff. Not trying to make a point, just stunned.

Who said that the Marlins are tanking??? Jon Heyman @JonHeyman 17m17 minutes ago More Marlins agreed to deal with Cameron Maybin @timbhealey 1st

QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Feb 21, 2018 -> 07:40 AM) Landry is overrated. There will still be decent WR’s on the market and you build in the draft anyway. I didn't want Landry. The problem is that the other decent WR's are gonna be more expensive and have more suitors if Landry and Robinson aren't out there. I'm getting worried that the Bears draft Ridley with that #8 pick. If they trade down in the 1st, I would feel better, but he doesn't seem explosive enough to justify a top 10 overall pick.

Jarvis Landry franchise tagged. Allen Robinson likely to be tagged too. The wide receiver market is quickly diminishing. Albert Wilson seemed like a gimme, but he is only gonna get more expensive now

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Feb 20, 2018 -> 05:57 PM) Florida firesale continues. It must feel like such a relief to get traded by a team that plays in an ugly empty stadium. They should just disallow all professional sports teams from the state of Florida. Except for the Lightning I guess

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Feb 20, 2018 -> 05:04 PM) Maybe, but don’t you agree even with a new staff, the Bears are under a lot of pressure to win as much as possible in 2018? I get looking down the road, but IMO there is an urgency here. That's true, especially for Pace, but I guess that depends on how.much Sitton does have left in the tank. Whatever their.plan is to replace him, having 85% of the production at one G position is not of big a deal for a team fighting for 7 or wins, as opposed to a team trying to win it all I think. (85% was just a random thought) Now if they don't spend much of their salary cap money, then it's also a different discussion. If they just replace him with an undrafted free agent wild card, that will look bad on their part.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Feb 20, 2018 -> 04:39 PM) That’s tue, but they aren’t anywhere near the cap, and probably won’t be in 2018 either. They must think Sitton has slipped and won’t bounce back. because they are in no position to let good players go. He does seem to be banged up a lot of the time. I think it's a combo of him getting old and being injured a lot, along with a new coaching staff and a team that won't win the Super Bowl next year anyway. I think they would rather get a guy they might need 2 to 3 years from now they can integrate into their system.

QUOTE (bmags @ Feb 20, 2018 -> 09:03 AM) I can't make heads or tails of this IL Gov Dem primary. i am not going to vote for JB Pritzker. Policies or not, I just can't flatter someone who is just a rich kid that liked using it to hang out with powerful people, then gets confused and thinks that he's done something with his life and is important. The pritzkers do a lot of good for Illinois, illinois gives a s*** ton of preferences to pritzker business, they already run things they don't need to run things. So Biss. But I hate Mike Madigan, and the dropping of his Lt Gov showed such obvious political grandstanding from both sides. So Kennedy, haha no not Kennedy. s***. So Biss. effing Illinois. The campaign commercials during Wheel of Fortune every night are painful. Since I cut the cord I can't DVR and skip them anymore, I have to like ear muffs my kids during them.

QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Feb 20, 2018 -> 09:04 AM) The point isn't to show that school shootings aren't a problem. One shooting is one too many. The point is to keep the debate honest and truthful. You should want that. The minute you start overblowing the problem and using false statistics, the other side latches on to #fakenews and all that nonsense. edit: and that example of a shooting in Michigan clearly had a specific target that happened to be located in a parking lot near a school. That's not a "school shooting" that people refer to where a gunman enters a school and starts shooting multiple people. Social media has pretty much ruined the chance of any debate being honest and truthful. Post a statistic enough times on Twitter and it becomes a fact.

Mitt was just salty that he had to run against the era's most popular Dem presidential candidate while Trump got to run against the least popular and won

QUOTE (wrathofhahn @ Feb 19, 2018 -> 05:51 PM) Come on you knew what I meant. I'm sure there others out there but Canseco was the last 30-20 or 40-20 guy I remember with Abreu sort of size. I just read the headline and commented in all honesty. It's a hard comparison because Canseco is such a polarizing figure. On to your real point, Bobby Abreu went 30-40 recently, although he's a bit smaller than the other two I would guess

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Feb 19, 2018 -> 05:42 PM) https://chicago.suntimes.com/sports/anthony...ist-taunts/amp/ Don't blame Duclair at all on this one. Very strong of him to step up and speak like that. Just sucks that he even has to in the first place.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Feb 19, 2018 -> 12:01 PM) 3rd round pick for Kempny?! I'll take it. Right? Can't say I would have expected that high of a pick

QUOTE (New Era on South Side @ Feb 19, 2018 -> 04:55 PM) Opt out after year two. I don’t remember opt outs being part of contracts until recently, when I believe Cespedes was given an opt out. Maybe I'm wrong but the opt outs seem to be 100% In the players favor. If a player is playing well enough to.opt out, you would rather he stay.on the original contract. And if he is not playing well enough, then you are stuck with him.

A lunatic steroid rager? Doesn't seem to fit Abreus personality.

QUOTE (Brian @ Feb 18, 2018 -> 01:34 PM) Yeah, we should listen to Ted Nugent. After 4 years of Trump and 8 years of Oprah/Kimmel, the 2028 presidency will be Nugent/Kid Rock. Idiocracy is coming to life.

A Tatis mention! Everybody take a drink!

Translator or not, the job is his come Opening Day barring an 0 for 100 spring training performance, so I don't see an issue.

QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Feb 18, 2018 -> 10:35 AM) I hear it’s a substance abuse issue and it’s been going on for quite some time now If that's true then how does it explain his current status with the team? He's around, he can participate in practice but not 100% and can't play in a game. I feel like that theory made more sense when he wasn't around. Either way, it's so weird. It goes from he might be back soon to maybe it's possible to be career threatening.

QUOTE (New Era on South Side @ Feb 18, 2018 -> 01:25 PM) How about this idea from a candidate trying to unseat Peter Roskam, a GOP incumbent who doesn’t listen to his constituents? He doesn't listen to his constituents yet has been elected and re elected 6 times? Sounds like the constituents are the problem, not him.

QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Feb 16, 2018 -> 08:09 PM) That 18 school shootings this year figure isnt exactly accurate... https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/no-the...m=.4e7203f9b404 It doesn't matter, it's already been shown so many times on social media, it's a fact in today's world. It's not very different than the Russian election bots. Post it enough on social media and it is bound to come true.

Good deal for the Cubs, if he stays healthy the first 2-3 years of course. Their window is now so who cares about the end of the deal. Usually a bit nervous about pitchers from Japan but he already had the Tommy John so that's probably a good thing for the Cubs. And this thread makes me think a whole lot of posters are gonna be disappointed with the next 5 + years of White Sox baseball. What the Cubs have done and are doing now is a best case scenario for the Sox future. It might just be the Cubs bias in people, but if you are so down about them, I don't know what you expect from the Sox.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Feb 10, 2018 -> 08:42 PM) This might be the greatest save I've ever seen. https://mobile.twitter.com/KOD1AK/status/962496538701377537 The guy who used to be best known for starting a SCF game because goalie #1 s*** his pants has turned out to be a hell of a goalie himself. That save is incredible, the anticipation to go behind his back so early.
