Jose Abreu

Seems like we can't miss a 3.

QUOTE (Middle Buffalo @ Jan 23, 2015 -> 06:30 PM) Registered in Nov2013 and just got around to posting? Slow typer or writer's block? Probably a slow typer. I'm sure he knew how crowded SoxFest in 2015 would be 14 months prior.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Jan 23, 2015 -> 01:21 PM) Sale and Q have shown they tire at the end of the season. The Sox may have a better overall season with them in that many starts but will pay with poorer performance at the end of the season/playoffs. The 5th serves to space out the starts of the first four. I think it's a mistake to give Sale and Q that many starts. So are you suggesting that we occasionally skip their turns in the rotation and give someone like Scott Carroll a spot start?

Rose, Butler, Brooks, Moore, Hinrich should be the guard rotation.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jan 23, 2015 -> 07:38 AM) No chance in hell Kluber gets put in front of Sale. QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Jan 23, 2015 -> 08:45 AM) Reigning Cy Young winner? No chance in hell? In the most recent "Top Ten Right Now" from August, Sale was number 6 and Kluber was top 3.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jan 23, 2015 -> 08:29 AM) Apparently in the team meeting everyone from Rose to Snell spoke. Whatever they talked about seems like it might've worked. I wonder what guys like Cameron Bairstow would have to say other than "I want minutes"

QUOTE (hi8is @ Jan 23, 2015 -> 01:18 AM) Why so? Thanks, hi8is. He ranked him second in his list rather than ninth, so he was going off about how the shredder was flawed and this was a dumb ranking and so on

Brian Kenny had Melky at #10.

Eric Byrnes was HEATED over the Justin Upton ranking

Butler with a block and an and-one!

This is very fun to watch.

Finally, a good defensive half.

Rose

This Hinrich/Snell offensive combo...

You can't deny that Rose has been in 2011 form this month, or at least the past couple weeks.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jan 22, 2015 -> 07:26 PM) Where the hell is Moore. Thibs, wtf? Did he bang your gf or what? No Moore, McDermott, or Mirotic in a first quarter where we saw Nazr Mohammad... Thibs must hate people with 'M' last names.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jan 22, 2015 -> 07:30 PM) How many more quarters 'til Kirk gets a point or assist? I'll set the over/under at 5.5.

Nazr Mohammad checking in???

Still waiting on a Doug McDermott sighting.

Derrick Rose looks very good so far.

Hoping for a good game scoring-wise from Butler. A lot of interesting matchups tonight with Rose-Parker, Butler-Leonard, and Gasol-Duncan.

Rose has been cleared for extended minutes.

Andrew Luck says he's "deflated" after the loss. No, I didn't make that up.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jan 22, 2015 -> 12:25 PM) The season and home openers are both 3:10 starts. Not that I didn't see it coming, but that's inconvenient. I was really hoping for a 6:10 start or something.

A friend was arguing that Fister had a 2.4ish ERA last year, which is true, but he had a 3.91 FIP. That's a somewhat alarming difference.
