QUOTE (daggins @ Feb 1, 2018 -> 09:23 PM) I mean, if you get enough guys who can throw 98-100, one or two of them have to end up decent, right? Nope, if the 2007 White Sox taught us anything.

Has he played baseball before or is Hahn just hoping Hectors brother can pitch?

QUOTE (bmags @ Feb 1, 2018 -> 01:20 PM) They could then still use a Kyle Tucker or the best pitching prospect in baseball to get an upgrade. ZIPS has them with 52 WAR. They have some cushion. For all of the verlander aww man what if they didn't get him or if he was bad, they could also have gotten Darvish and been worse, and Verlander has talked about how all of the information they provided him made him better. If you read only soxtalk you'd think the astros fell ass backwards into a world series title. Or like SoxTalk demanded they could have traded for Q, who got rocked in an elimination game, and not won the World Series either.

QUOTE (Sox-35th @ Feb 1, 2018 -> 10:01 AM) Apparently LeBron would consider Golden State as a landing spot in free agency. Of course he would. But I can't picture a way in which the league and the PA would allow for this to happen, as the deal would be predicated on one party taking a pay cut. The first few setnences of that ESPN article are such crap and just ESPN trying to make a news headline out of thin air. And it worked. http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/2228138...ay-lebron-james

Wasn't he the Phillies closer for a while?

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jan 31, 2018 -> 11:11 AM) I agree with you that Washington completely messed up the Cousins situation so much so that I really don't think Cousins returning to Washington was an option. Given where they were picking, I think they made a solid move trading for Smith. Sam Bradford was traded for a 1st rounder (by Minnesota...not even referring to Eagles / Rams deals)...they gave up a 3rd rounder and a slot corner for Smith. Minnesota also has a very strong Super Bowl contender roster outside of QB. The Redskins do not and they made their defense worse and gave up a mid round draft pick.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jan 31, 2018 -> 10:36 AM) I don't see why Alex Smith going to Redskins is that bad. I presume they didn't want to franchise Cousins again and knew they were going in another direction. Alex Smith is a good QB and I would expect his game to age well. It's not that Alex Smith is bad. It's giving up a solid cornerback and a draft pick to get him, then giving him $23 million a year for 3 years guaranteed. You could have Cousins for much less earlier and I don't think there is a huge upgrade between the two.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jan 31, 2018 -> 12:10 AM) Matthews keeps calling him, "this guy." It's funny how cocky some people are. Their candidate didn't win so they don't even recognize the winner as President. When Obama won, nobody referred to him as "this guy." If you are an American you have to admit he's your president at least. We voted him in. So he's the USA president. U live in the USA so he's your president. Trump may be a chump but a lot of smart people are claiming the economy is thriving under DT. If we can get him impeached, fine, go for it. But if not he's still the US president until a scandal arrives that dictates he be removed. Just cause u lost doesn't mean u have to call him "this guy." You are right greg. People didn't refer to Obama as "this guy". If they had, it would have been a compliment. They called him much, much worse.

Alex Smith to the Redskins for a 3rd round pick and slot CB Kendall Fuller. Redskins then sign the 34 year old QB to a 4 year, $94 million deal, $71 mil guaranteed. Kirk Cousins to hit free agency. Patrick Mahomes to take the reigns in KC.Oh boy, there's a lot to process there.

QUOTE (illinilaw08 @ Jan 30, 2018 -> 05:46 PM) The dance was created by a bunch of former boy scouts without any input from Native Americans. That makes it "based on a true story." It doesn't make it authentic... Without getting into a tangent, that was a huge problem with the Chief. I distinctly remember getting a program at a game in the 90s that told me the dance was authentic. When the university is peddling a false narrative, it makes it very difficult to obtain allies from the other side of the debate... If it wasn't for that dance, the Chief logo might still be around. I thought the halftime dance was awesome as a student years ago, but yeah, it was probably time to retire it. I still wear the logo, I don't see a problem with it. My biggest annoyance is that FSU can do all those "traditions" because the Seminole tribe is still around. Meanwhile Illini were a tribe in the area, but since they are not around anymore, it's a trouble point.

QUOTE (SoxFan2003 @ Jan 29, 2018 -> 02:41 PM) I'm guessing that logo's days are numbered. Although you have to give Rocky and company credit for reaching out to Native American communities to try and be a partner/advocate. Yeah, I assume it will be gone at some point, but that logo is their only connection to Native Americans. Their mascot is a hawk, there are no chants or tomahawks or anything like that. It has an honorable historical basis too, but who knows if it will stick around.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jan 29, 2018 -> 06:39 PM) Is that really something you can hold against them, though? 11-1 alone is enough for me to think they should be top-25 on this list. That dominance alone is so hard to replicate. I would've liked to see them in the 15-25 range. No, you shouldn't but I think it affects the perception of them. People see the roster, are underwhelmed, and it makes it easy to forget how good they were from start to finish. That and nobody knows there are two teams in Chicago.

I think the problem is that the majority of the roster had career years in 2005. If that exact same 25-man roster came together in any other season, they would be lucky to win 90 games.

Collateral damage from their World Series appearance. They kept ignoring the problem and flying under the radar until they showed up on the national stage and the pressure mounted.
