Can get it to 3.99 with a complete game shutout. 4.50! He's in normal pitcher territory! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure how a declarative statement, with no caveats before or after, is supposed to be put into "context". He said what he said. "It will be one of the greatest trades in WS history" It was STONE that tried to give context with "if he keeps playing like this". Hawk is lucky that Stone tries to help him instead of just hanging him out to try. Edited May 3, 2017 by chitownsportsfan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Yeah guys he said when Avi retires in 15 years they'll say it was the greatest trade in white Sox history. It's absurd no matter the context. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
