Jake Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 When I saw the thread title, I thought I was about to read the dumbest post ever. In reality, that was pretty interesting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 (edited) Probably one of the best profit margins for a movie since The Passion of the Christ for Mel Gibson and The Blair Witch Project for that screenwriting trio whose names I still can't remember for the life of me. Of course, from the thread title, you think he's buying a sports franchise (probably minor league baseball) or set of movie theater chains in Texas or producing a country music album, but no. Didn't realize Magic Johnson was part of the Dayton (MWL) ownership group, fwiw. Edited May 23, 2014 by caulfield12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ultimate Champion Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 QUOTE (witesoxfan @ May 23, 2014 -> 08:20 AM) 100 YEARS, $1 TRILLION DOLLARS AND THE ASTEROID BELT Or Leury Garcia's brother, that works too. Seriously though, it's the perfect fit. Texas would need to wait X amount until the draft is done then pay X in cash for Morales (and probably have a small bidding war vs. 1-2 other teams) and still, whoever gets Morales is probably going to have to send him to extended and then some MiLB assignment for a while. Dunn OTOH costs a whole lot less than the draft pick is worth & the Sox can just eat the whole thing for a better prospect. You guys were right, I admit it. I'm still not happy we had to f*** over our OFers to put this guy on the roster but when Avi went down Dunn actually became useful. Maybe we'll get something out of this guy now.

Do they have the nuts to do it to the fanbase this early in the season though? I mean, the team is .500 and it isn't even June. Tough pill to swallow for ticket sales.

If they got an offer that actually included not picking up much remaining money and talent coming back, I can't imagine they'd hesitate.

Doesn't mean it makes sense performance-wise, but that is the perception. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't mean it makes sense performance-wise, but that is the perception. There's also the really nice idea of Viciedo adjusting to a full-time DH role. PK can play more, Tank can see the OF less. It's always been clear that Viciedo's bat was going to make or break his Sox future, but now it's also I think become pretty clear that it'll have to be as a DH. I think we've hit a point where you can't look at the arm as an excuse for keeping him out there anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I am sure Adam would be accepting on his moving on and be complimentary of the Sox. Too bad it took him so long to finally make adjustments here in a Sox uniform Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 I'm really not sold on moving Dayan to DH and if this is a throwaway season, there's even more of a reason to continue trying to make it work in the OF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eminor3rd Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 I think, realistically, DH would be Abreu/Konerko most nights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texsox Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 "It happens all the time," said Dunn, 34. "I don't mean to be rude or have this come off bad, but there's a lot of guys that baseball is all they can do. That's it. That's all they've done from age 4 to now. It's tough. When you've done something your whole life and all of a sudden you're not doing it, what do you do?" You keep playing a few more seasons for the White Sox?

Me too, which goes to show that no matter how successful magic will be, he was always stand out more as 'that guy with aids' than 'successful businessman' in the ill mind of the public.
