Did Enzo get hurt again at the Smackdown tapings?

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Jul 5, 2016 -> 09:02 PM) Because he doesn't have all the pitches to be a starter. And while the Sox think that they could make him into a starter, I haven't seen much out of them that that's a high priority. Hahn seems intent on rushing him up, just like he did with Rodon (hope it works out better than the Rodon rush-up did; he still doesn't have a change). Burdi does have 3 pitches. Fastball, change, slider.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 5, 2016 -> 07:49 AM) http://www.brewcrewball.com/2016/6/23/1201...f-junior-guerra There’s really no indication that Junior is going to slow down anytime soon, either. While some might point to his low .262 BABIP, fly-ball pitchers like Guerra tend to have a lower than average BABIP and he’s shown to be adept at producing an above-average amount of pop-ups. He generates plenty of swings-and-misses, especially with his devastating splitter, a pitch that can catch throw hitters for a loop since only 43 of the 582 pitchers that have appeared in the big leagues this year have been recorded as throwing one (according to Pitch F/X data from Fangraphs). Junior’s walk rate, which has plagued him on occasion during his ascension to the big leagues, has been kept well under control. He has great poise and composure on the mound and has certainly carried himself as though he belongs near the front of a major league rotation. It’s not altogether unreasonable to think that Juni G may improve upon his already impressive numbers, as well. Guerra has certainly followed a non-linear development path, originally signing as a catcher in 2001 and not converting to the mound until 2006 at age 21. Not only did Guerra need to learn an arsenal of pitches to come after hitters with, but he needed to find proper mechanics, had to be taught how to control the run game, how to field a new position, etc. The bulk of this development, including the addition of his split-finger to his repertoire about five years ago, took place while Junior was pitching in independent ball. Now that he’s found a foothold in the major leagues and gets to work with some of the best coaches on the planet on a daily basis, Guerra should be able to continue refining his process and improving his performance. In spite of his relatively advanced age, Guerra is still a “young arm” in terms of workload, as well. Since he’s only been pitching for about 10 years, he has much less mileage on his right arm than the typical 31 year old would. According to his pitching register at Baseball-Reference, Junior has thrown less than 780 innings during his professional career, or roughly the same amount of pro innings as Wily Peralta had logged by age 23. That should no doubt bode well for Guerra’s chances to defy the typical aging curve and stave off father time while remaining effective as he enters his mid-30s. Something about the 31 year old with four big league innings piqued the interest of Slingin’ David Stearns back in October, when he was claimed off waivers from the White Sox with Stearns’ first transaction as GM. Thus far, the move has paid off in spades. Guerra has ascended from waiver claim on the fringes of the big leagues to a workhorse starter that is occupying the role of #2016BrewersAce, and there is a distinct possibility that he’ll continue to improve at the major league level. One never knows where exactly a team will find valuable talent, and perhaps Junior Guerra is on his way to becoming the Brewers’ version of Jake Arrieta - a buy-low pitcher who morphs into an unexpectedly dominant front-line starter. Really, no one cares about Junior Guerra. He's 30 years old and having a good year, not the first to do it. How do you think the O's feel after Arrieta's success? What about Loaiza and Contraras to the Sox? I'm sure there are many more examples that I can't think of right now, but teams miss on players all the time, and it will keep happening.

Brewers batted out of the order lol

QUOTE (RegionSox @ Jul 2, 2016 -> 01:56 PM) They resigned Richard Panik, so I'm thinking he's probably playing on the first line. I also don't think the Blackhawks will sign Vesey. Totally forgot about Panik. Insert him instead of Vesey. Then Panik and Versteeg could be interchangeable.

Darren Dreger ‏@DarrenDreger 14h14 hours ago NHL interest in Kris Versteeg based on experience...2 Cups. Also hearing there's interest in Switzerland if an NHL fit doesn't surface. Why not go after Versteeg? I'm sure he can be had for cheap. Can play on any line, knows the system, has chemistry with most of the players. Versteeg-Toeas-Hossa Panarin-Anisomov-Kane Vesey-Kruger-Schmaltz Desjardins-Rasmussen-Hartman Mashinter Keith-Seabrook Hjalmarsson-Campbell Kempny-TVR Rozival Crawford Darling Thoughts?

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Jul 2, 2016 -> 11:03 AM) So they must have a big one coming in, right, as Hahn talked about 1 large bonus. So far they have 33, 36 and 37 and none would seem to warrant a high bonus ahead of the others. They paid 1 or 1.2 million on Guerrero.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Jul 2, 2016 -> 10:14 AM) I've spent the past few days rebuilding them in my head and on MLB the Show. I traded everyone expect Rodon, Eaton, Anderson. You can only do three player deals in this game so obviously I'd want more for Sale but getting a young impact bat and 2 of their top pitching prospects is a good start. Obviously this team would take its lumps but the future would be very bright. Sale, Jones to LAD for Joc Pederson, Jose De Leon and Grant Holmes Quintana, Robertson to BOS for O; Jackie Bradley Jr, 2B Yoan Moncada and OF Andrew Benintendi Abreu to STL P Alex Reyes, P Luke Weaver and C Carson Kelly Frazier to NYM 1B Dominic Smith and P Marcos Molina Melky Cabrera to TEX for SS/3B Josh Morgan and P Ariel Jurado Didn't trade Lawrie. Kept him because he's still young and playing well for us. Just want to see how everyone on here would do there's (I realize it's not actually happening but I'm doing this for curiosity and entertainment). Sale and Jones would net at least Urias and Joc in my opinion. Sale and Jones for Urias, Joc, Holmes, Herrera, and Verdugo. Quintana to Boston for Bradley Jr, Espinonza, and Devers. Frazier to the Mets for Smith and Cecchini

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 1, 2016 -> 07:10 PM) Indians' longest winning streak in franchise history (tied with 1951 team, and another in the 1940's). Ryan Goins pitched the 18th and escaped from a bases loaded situation with a DP ball....threw 90. Barney gave up the homer on an 85-86 MPH "fastball." Bauer was supposed to start tomorrow's day game but pitched 5 shutout innings in relief so they'll have to find another starter to go against All-Star Estrada (probably will be the end of their winning streak). Joba Chamberlain, miraculously extricated himself from danger two innings in a row. Pillar made a gave-saving catch. Phillies blew two bases-loaded situations in the middle innings against Tomlin. Indians had numerous chances in extra innings. They used every single reliever except for closer Cody Allen, who wasn't available. Ryan Goins goes on the DL with forearm tightness

http://www.baseballamerica.com/internation...dWKAy2hDjYaU.97 Sox have signed 5 so far. 3 in the top 50.

The Bulls are gonna be really bad next year.

QUOTE (RegionSox @ Jul 1, 2016 -> 03:54 PM) Is Bale just that good? I can't imagine Wales really has anyone else. Bale is that good, but he did not score or assist on any goals today. Really a great team effort from Wales.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Jul 1, 2016 -> 03:44 PM) Wales that is all. Since the 15th minute when Belgium scored, Wales completely dominated that game. Well deserved.

Wales outplaying Belgium right now and it's 1-1

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jul 1, 2016 -> 01:34 PM) Did you see where he's going to be assigned? Birmingham. They just tweeted about acquiring him.

QUOTE (Deadpool @ Jul 1, 2016 -> 11:09 AM) Staal to the Red Wings Source?

Campbell, Staal, and Vanek and I'll be a happy camper.

Anyone else see this Boston Red Sox news? They have been banned from signing any international talent for 2016-2017. Also, they had 5 contracts voided Jeff Passan ‏@JeffPassan 4m4 minutes ago Source: Red Sox have been banned from signing int'l amateurs in 2016-17, had five prospect contracts voided. News: Jeff Passan ‏@JeffPassan 3m3 minutes ago Albert Guaimaro and Simon Muzziotti, two Red Sox prospects declared free agents, are quite highly regarded. They can sign anywhere now.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 1, 2016 -> 09:45 AM) Lebrun saying Campbell is done, likely 1/2M Great deal.

Davidson not in the dugout? Odds that he is traded?

Trade Lawrie while he's hot!

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Jun 30, 2016 -> 01:43 PM) Wait, Davidson is playing? Has he actually hit his weight at AAA this year? Hitting 267

Frazier!

Oh my Tim Anderson. What a great play.

Adrian Dater ✔@adater Hearing that Chicago considering an offer to Eric Staal Adrian Dater ✔@adater No. I think Staal's plan is to take a short-money short-term deal with contender https://twitter.com/kristofers_/status/748410641870893056 … Staal and Campbell? Staal at 1 year/2 million Richards type deal, Campbell at 1 year/1.5 million? Yes please....
