QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 6, 2011 -> 09:58 AM) What about AJ would tell you that he would help? What about AJ would tell me that he wouldn't help? There all the rumors out there, but he still appears to be a good teammate, I don't think everyone hates him as much as people always like to infer. Would AJ be happy playing 60 games, while Flowers plays 100? Absolutely not. But if AJ kept his normal 120-130 game workload, while Flowers played the rest, I could definitely see AJ helping the kid out, he will be in a contract year anyway.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 6, 2011 -> 09:42 AM) Doesn't seem anyone who's around the team is convinced it's a good idea to have AJ and Flowers together on the same roster. AJ hasn't shown any inclination to give up the position or "mentor" Tyler on the nuances of the game. Just have to wait and see. If they're struggling at the end of this month, they might think about trading him instead of being on the hook for that contract in 2012. When he has shown that? Did something happen during spring training? Has AJ ever come out and said I refuse to help this young catcher?

Brouwer gets $2.35 mil a year for 2 yrs from the Caps. Sounds about the same as what the Hawks would have had to give him. I think it's a good contract for a player like him, but Hawks needs the money for depth.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jul 6, 2011 -> 12:34 AM) and they better f***ing win, because it's my BIRTHDAY goddammit. That, and they're facing Bruce Chen and it has been statistically proven that Bruce Chen is the worst pitcher of all time. Kyle Davies begs to differ...

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 5, 2011 -> 07:36 PM) Where the hell did Freddie Freeman come from? This guy's on flame broil. So in the last two years the Braves system has produced Freeman, Heyward, Hanson, Beachy, Venters and Kimbrel. With Teheran, Delgado, Minor and Vizcaino all knocking at the door. Yeah, they pretty much know what they're doing in the scouting/drafting/developing department. and they traded away Feliz & Andrus

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jul 5, 2011 -> 09:57 PM) Only 25, nearly had 60 points last year, defensive stud who is a terrific PK guy and can play on the PP, a captain and has 2 stanley cup rings already on his resume.. I'd say that contract was a steal, especially with what is being handed out on the FA market. Hell, don't be surprised when you see what Sharp gets next off-season. Sharp is signing an extension this off-season, case closed.

@HaHaWhitePPL America's Hero So was Nicole Brown Simpson's family when your dad got OJ off. RT @KimKardashian: CASEY ANTHONY FOUND NOT GUILTY!!!! I am speechless!!!

Adam Dunn career line vs. Paulino: 1.000/1.000/2.500 (Sample sized be damned, 3 PAs)

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 5, 2011 -> 04:55 PM) I think that's fair money, really. He's the captain of that franchise and had almost 60 points last year. Ugh, he and big buff playing elsewhere drives me nuts. Damn salary cap. I agree with all that 100%. Ladd was the one player I missed the most after the roster was purged, think his absence hurt them the most.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Jul 5, 2011 -> 03:12 PM) I voted a ton of times for Podsednik and AJ when they were on the final ballots, but I don't think I'll vote even once for Konerko. It's nothing against PK, I just don't give a s*** about this game and whether or not he goes. The whole ASG annoys me, from the voting to every team needing a representative to the fact that it weighs into the World Series for some stupid reason. I don't think I've even watched the last two games or any of the ASB festivities. And seriously, if I were Konerko, I'd rather just go home for those three days instead of having to take part in such a farcical game. Sorry to take away from the point of the thread, I think I just needed to vocalize (so to speak) my reasoning for not caring. Good luck getting an invite to the 16,000 sq ft. house

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 5, 2011 -> 01:57 PM) Pretty funny listening to Boers and Bernstein rip on Peavy today relating to his request for more intensity. Would have liked to hear that. The talk of Peavy's intensity winning ballgames is starting to rank up there with Rowand's grindiness on the annoying level.

I thought this thread would have a link to some comical YouTube video

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 5, 2011 -> 01:43 PM) Can someone tell me why I should care about this case? How many kids get killed on a daily basis here in Chicago? Because she is pretty and white, duh...

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jul 5, 2011 -> 01:34 PM) I've always wondered what a defense lawyer's state of mind is after they win which they always want to do, but then realize they got a murderer off. "I'm gonna go roll around in a pile of money and kill another puppy."

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 5, 2011 -> 10:12 AM) Guess it seemed weird that three of our Top 25-30 prospects are all named Tyler. Hmmm.... Well the 25-man roster has two players named Brent, while no other team in the majors has a Brent on their MLB roster.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 5, 2011 -> 08:51 AM) I'm sure it is more like the zeros on his next contract... Probably. I was just so amazed to see the Pirates >.500 and only 1.5 games out of first.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 5, 2011 -> 10:02 AM) Maybe the Sox just want to get him off the roster? And also maybe they have a good deal lined up for Danks they want to execute, but they don't want to do it and rely on Peavy's health? You want to know who our CF could be? Long time Sox killer Melky Cabrera is supposedly on the market. Unless they are named Hosmer or Moustakas, I would like to stay away from the Royals please.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 5, 2011 -> 09:38 AM) $6.5 million this year and then a club option for 2012 at $10.65 million with a $1.25 million buyout. I'd say there is about a 0.0001% chance that the Braves don't buy him out.

Sorry LA, but my NL vote is going to Mike Morse.

Pujols may be back in the lineup today, about a month before his initial timetable. He must be worried about those hard charging Pittsburgh Pirates!

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 5, 2011 -> 08:42 AM) Again, agreed that it would be very un-Kenny-ish and extremely risky, but if Kenny has his eye on doing something with Cashman, this would probably be one of the ways to do it, while getting Viciedo out of Charlotte and on to the big league club, where Kenny has said he is confident Viciedo is ready to be on several occasions now. Extremely risky sounds very Kenny-ish

Dunn

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 4, 2011 -> 09:02 AM) Which is still like 5 times better than Dunn... After last night, it's only like 3 times better than Dunn in 2011!! .036!!!
