"Eye popping" Oh boy... this does hurt to hear indeed

Just not enough there.

Use the Cards for leverage in a Pitt deal? Sucks the Cardinals dont have anymore top guys here, oh well. Losing Reyes sucks for them I can empathize with their fanbase.

If 2 trades came down to money then im not going to lie that is a little frustrating

Definitely the Pirates owner since they are looking to trade Cutch

You have to hope all of this doesnt go to Qs head going into the season. I dont see how it doesnt create any stress.

QUOTE (flavum @ Feb 12, 2017 -> 09:08 PM) Verlander-Quintana in 50 days. Bring it on. two guys who will be on different teams come deadline

Nightengale.. I'll believe it when one of the big boys starts tweeting about it

Vegas has us at 73.5 wins.. very far from san diegos 64 wins

QUOTE (credezcrew24 @ Feb 11, 2017 -> 01:34 PM) Sure, I just don't think that narrative fits. Looking at there roster I don't really see any current SP that could be considered a salary dumb. For the other current mlb player the only guys I could see maybe being bad contracts are Harrison, Bastardo, who if he had a good season could be a trade deadline flip candidate or Kang who could simply be released. I agree with the SP being a head scratcher but it is possible that player could be Glasnow since he did pitch in the majors last season. Maybe it was a 5 player proposal inatead of 6. Glasnow, Keller, Newman, top 10, Bastardo

QUOTE (steveno89 @ Feb 11, 2017 -> 12:51 PM) No way the pirates offered six players for quintana. That would make very little sense. It does if those 2 mlb players are a salary dump

QUOTE (hi8is @ Feb 11, 2017 -> 12:05 PM) Yea, not a chance. I find it plausible. Sox scouts may be very low on one or more of those top 50 prospects. Just because they are ranked on some prospect list doesnt mean the Sox value them that way.

Maybe this is why the roster is currently at 39

Sox scouts must be really low on Pirates prospects not named Bell or Meadows

I have accepted the fact that Q will not get traded before opening day. I suggest everyone else to do the same.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Feb 10, 2017 -> 12:07 PM) Colombia's roster doesn't look too good at first glance so hopefully they're eliminated quickly. Or maybe Q will carry them to the finals by putting on a clinic

I have said it before but i wish nothing but failure for the Astros

QUOTE (flavum @ Feb 9, 2017 -> 06:28 PM) Bruce Levine was on the Score and is sticking with the Sox trading Quintana before reporting day. But he also said he was basing this on his own feelings, not inside information. I agree with him, but if it isn't tomorrow, I think we'll see Q pitching in the WBC as Sox property. Not looking forward to following the Sox while crossing my fingers that Q lives up to expectations and stays healthy. I will make a sacrifice before every start he makes.

according to OOTP 18 we will be 62-100 with PITIFUL performances from Rodon and Quintana

Of course he does

QUOTE (beautox @ Feb 8, 2017 -> 01:39 PM) thats just silly Quintana's last two years are options so if he did manage to s*** the bed they would be on the hook for 2M thats it so for 17 and 18 and his buy outs 16.8M, thats nothing like Danks at all, its even more risk adverse If you are giving up the required package for him then yes it is a risk. A risk they don't have to take at the moment.

There is no reason for the Yankees to get Q right now. If he is destroys the league again next season then sure, but there is no reason to risk acquiring him. He could turn into Danks 2.0 with time.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Feb 7, 2017 -> 07:46 PM) I'm still hoping the Yankees enter the picture for Q again. A package led by Frazier and Rutherford would be pretty exciting. It really would. Frazier seems like a really marketable player

I will be beta testing for OOTP 18 so I will throw down some ratings from our farm + trade scenarios for Q during some sims. Will post them here!

Does this take into account that Moncada, Lopez, and Giolito won't be in the bigs to start the year?
