chw42 Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 The Yankees being so stubborn about Miller opens the door for us to trade Robertson and get something good in return. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 29, 2016 -> 02:10 PM) No wonder the Cubs settled for Chapman. Yankees would have taken no less than Schwarber for Miller. The Cubs gave up WAY more value for 2 1/2 months of Chapman than if they were to simply swap Schwarber for Miller.

SoxAce Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Can't believe noone said anything about Ichiro reaching 3,000 hits especially in a tainted era. What a legend. One of my personal favorite players to watch. Future hall of famer (in 2 leagues at that!). Has more hits than Pete Rose if you combine his total hits from here and Japan. Well done Ichiro and it's been a blast to watch you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted August 8, 2016 Author Share Posted August 8, 2016 I know most people like to watch the home run hitters hit, and the guys throwing 100 mph throw, but Ichiro is one of my all time favorites to watch hit. The dude will literally do anything to get on base and help his team out. He is truly one of a kind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am assuming it isn't a straight out retirement don't bother paying me, like LaRoche. When he was a free agent, I was leery because his father fell apart around 31 or so. I thought genes might do him in, but this is obviously his neck. I imagine an insurance company is not very happy right now. It is interesting that Prince and Cecil each hit 319 career homers.

Dick Allen Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 They were showing some ARod lowlights the other day. One was when he slapped the ball away at first base. Yeah that was lame. Another was when he ran back to first base over the mound. A baseball no no, again pretty lame ARod. The 3rd is when he yelled "I got it" vs Toronto and the Toronto infielders let the ball drop. Why is that a horrible thing when an infielder can fake taking a throw at second to get a runner to slide if a ball goes into RF? I had no problem with that one.

In the end, it didn't matter because the White Sox still suck, but what the hell Texas. Technically it's not a retirement, he is being declared physically disabled because the doctors won't clear him to play. He will still get paid his whole contract.

I don't think they have to pay the whole contract. There might be insurance on it. And they still get money went to them by the Tigers regardless if they do or not. Similar to how the Shields situation works if someone takes him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
