greg775 Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 (edited) QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 31, 2011 -> 10:53 PM) Because certain people actually understand how payroll and contracts work? I know how payroll works. I would rather pay guys who actually give a f*** like Quentin and actually produce over hacks like Peavy, Dunn and Rios. It's not my fault our GM acquired those wastes of money. There is absolutely no reason for the hatred on Quentin on this site. By all accounts he's a gamer and has good stats!

So we can't afford Quentin, so we'll go with DeAza, Rios and Tank. Well Rios ruins our team's chances in that scenario and along with Dunn n Jake we have a .500 team or a few games below again next year just like this year. So I do get it.

southsider2k5 Posted September 1, 2011 Author Share Posted September 1, 2011 KnightsBaseball Charlotte Knights @ @mdgonzales All the White Sox guys do a great job on the post-game spreads. Still no one beats the Bartolo Colon lobster dinner in 2009. MDGonzales Mark Gonzales @ @KnightsBaseball Just glad that he looks after the kids down there. KnightsBaseball Charlotte Knights Great investigative reporting! RT @MDGonzales: MDGonzales Mark Gonzales AJ 1-for-3 so far, RBI single in 1st. Ponied up for post-game spread (Joe's Crab Shack) after Tuesday's game at Norfolk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what Jerry surely will do. Hopefully they wake up. 2.) I realize nobody will take Peavy and Dunn and Rios. They are so bad no team will take them and their bloated contracts. What I'm saying is it's a damn shame we can't keep Mark and Quentin because of money when those 3 wastes of space are making so much. I can understand the economics without thinking it is sad and bulls***. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smalls2598 Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 From Jayson Stark's ESPN article: "How many players in the history of the American League have had 100 more strikeouts than hits in a season? Uh, none, of course. And the only guy to do it in any league was Mark Reynolds (211-99) last year in Arizona. So this is a huge September for Dunn -- no matter how much he does (or doesn't) play." Dunn has 157 K's and only 60 hits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
