does johnson have a changeup?

QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 1, 2014 -> 10:29 PM) I didn't fall for it, but that's about the only type of job he'll be getting in baseball in the future. We've mentioned this time and again but no way a GM can risk putting "The Mouth" in a position of authority again. It's too bad Oz was too dumb to realize he might not want to run his mouth (in Miami) until he got that team in first place to stay. The Castro thing and the gay thing has ended his career in baseball (except for broadcasting, scouting). You forgot the fact that he is a horrible manager

APRIL FOOLS! THE FOOL ISN'T RETURNING!

get garbage beckham out of here! i'd rather give semien a shot than keep playing beckham.

i can't believe how good he was with the twins... even in limited play time

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Dec 11, 2013 -> 08:05 AM) The author called Elmore a "dirtbag". Hahn called Eatona "dirtbag". Coincidence ? I think not. Very grindy stuff. lmao. i love how dirtbag is a compliment in grindish. i first thought you meant they both insulted each other.

AJ AND hawk? somewhere in the world, greg creamed his pants

I remember people flipping when somebody posted "f*** you connor" after he got a hit to help teh sox win. Almost EVERYBODY on the most populated bulls board is rooting tanking and the other team, lol.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Nov 14, 2013 -> 04:14 PM) It was $13.3M last year, $14.1M this year, and in case you haven't noticed, more money gets spent every year. It's highly likely the QO price in 2 years will be around $16M. so in 4 years it will be 18m? 20m in 6 years? no, dont think so. these guys wont be making that kind of cash.

Jack*** ozzie botched that one big time. That's when people realized he is severely lacking in the strategic side of baseball. That's also when many people realized he was a lousy manager.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Nov 14, 2013 -> 03:48 PM) While I do want Wieters, we are only getting draft pick compensation if we offer him a QO, which a couple years from now may be around $16M+. So he'd really need to return to his 2011 form when he led all catchers in baseball with a 4.6 WAR. Not saying he can't, just saying it's no guarantee that we get a draft pick out of him if/when he leaves. 16m+? yeah right. It will probably be around 13m, and only for 1 year. I expect Wieters to command more than that.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 2, 2013 -> 08:35 AM) You still haven't proven me wrong. No one wanted Crawford at a free agent price. And if anybody did, please direct me to their post so I can scold them. Who is there right mind signs a 29 year old who has a game revolving around speed to 7 year contract paying 20 million a year? I really doubt anybody wanted that.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Nov 2, 2013 -> 01:58 PM) I agree fully on Santiago. Q is a different story. I think Q is pretty good. Whether he can take the next step, who knows? You're agreeing that bias is clouding somebody's judgement?

QUOTE (TheFutureIsNear @ Nov 2, 2013 -> 12:20 PM) And I love when hometown fans overvalue every player on their favorite team. Its only been a few days since I joined this site, but already I've learned..... - Viciedo and Beckham are good players who are just slumping. They'll be better next year. - Alexei Ramirez is a very good player who should only be traded for a top prospect. He's too valuable for anything less. - Hector Santiago is legit frontline starter and possibly even a #2. - Chris Beck is a top prospect with a bright future. I think you need to take off your hyperbole goggles bro

QUOTE (greg775 @ Oct 31, 2013 -> 02:14 PM) I'm surprised people got on me about AJ and not Rowand. As I recall there used to be a lot of Rowand bashing. As far as Thome, he exuded leadership to me. Maybe I'm mistaken. AJP is all sorts of a pest to the opponent looking for any edge to WIN. Rowand gave up his body a lot. I'd take a Rowand over a DeAza or Rios so quickly it'd make your head spin. I'd take Thome over just about anybody who has worn a Sox jersey. If I'm wrong about him, then so be it. I guess an argument could be made he didn't have TWTW since he hit into the shift so much when he coulda gone the other way. Way to ignore the post about the numerous choke jobs AJ has been a part of. didn't expect you to respond to that. he is also supposed to be an unlikable jackass. i guess thats TWTW.

greg be trolling

QUOTE (greg775 @ Oct 24, 2013 -> 03:03 PM) Yep and that's why he's cooked. No more jobs for Ozzie. Hope he's saved his money unless he can keep landing broadcast gigs. Maybe if a close buddy gets a managing job they'll bring him in as 3B coach. Asst coaches don't do much talking to media or they don't last a week. I like Leyland; no disagreement there. I'm just thanking oz for getting it done in the Sox one and only trip to the WS. We could have lost that series and our streak of futility would be looking very very very bad right now. There's no sign in sight we can even win our division again the way we play in divisional games much less get back in the WS. I mean if you had to bet your life savings would you predict we get back in the WS in the next 10 years? Next 20? Odds aren't good as we start over. I'd give anything to have Leyland take over the Sox helm tomorrow. I'd love Leyland as skip and Oz third base or bench coach. Leyland would teach Oz about professionalism and Oz could help Jimmy with the strategy. Oh I can wish ... strategically, how was ozzie good? please inform me

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Oct 2, 2013 -> 10:00 PM) ok this is a fake greg. Somebody hacked him. This post is outstanding. There must be some sort of anagram in there that can rearranged to say "Dunn is a bum" or " I loev ozzie"

It will be a mockery to the award if hawk wins it. horrible, horrible announcer.

I like awards to have integrity. Awards that are a joke like GG's annoy me. If i vote for hawk, i feel like I'm furthering degradation of the integrity of the award. Hawk is a lousy ass announcer tbh. I'm getting tired of him living in hyperbole land where there are guys every single game that are "the best he ever saw" at something. Gets annoying and you know he is talking out of his ass.
