Springer wore mic during ASG to set example for stutterers

Makes it easy to cheer for him

 

Man - this hits home for me. I developed a stuttering problem in like Grade 5 or 6. I don't remember exactly when I managed to overcome it, but it was probably Grade 10 or something. It was an AWFUL time in my life. It's actually just recently came back to a small extent (on words that start with a particular letter - it's really odd). It was incredible hard for me as a teenager.

Pretty good haul for the White Sox isn't it?

 

That seems like a great haul. What a farm system they have now man. In 2-3 years - look out.

Quintana is really good, 28, and has 1.5 years of guaranteed control left plus two cheap options. He hasn't been as good this season as he was previously but that could change.

 

The White Sox have rebuilt pretty well. THe Jays don't have anywhere near the amount of assets as they did (Sale, Eaton, Quintana) so I doubt the Jays could do something similar even if they wanted to.

Right now, between Cueto, Gray and Happ, I think we're looking at a pretty good haul ourselves. Anybody got the Astros number?

If they all reached ceiling it would be insane.

 

Lopez

Kopech

Giolito

Cease

Burdi

Fulmer

Adams

Hansen

 

They also might shatter records for most walks...or have the most dominant bullpen

As a Jays fan I'd take that deal for Stroman.

 

I don't think I would, it would be tempting though. Depends on the direction we are going and when we plan to contend...our high A team might be the best ever right now though if we got that lol

This trade came seemingly out of nowhere. I didn't even read or hear a peep about it.

 

I'm fairly surprised the Cubs dealt Jimenez, though they're getting a pretty damn good pitcher in return.

 

Eloy and Cease + is a really nice haul for the Sox. What a farm they've assembled, mostly via recent trades.

Damn they got a great return. If only Estrada and Liriano weren't s***ing the bed this year we could of got something for them, although this somewhat sets the market for Happ who has 1 year left on a pretty good deal.

Arrieta

Lester

Quintana

 

On paper that's a VERY nice top 3 and would be a solid post season rotation

 

However, Cubs may not make the playoffs this year and all 3 of those guys are having subpar years

 

(Counterpoint: they are capable of making a run obviously, and it's unlikely all 3 will continue to perform below career norms)

Arrieta probably just legitimately sucks now. They are probably hoping Hendricks comes back fixed.

Eloy + Cease + is a steep price but the Cubs have so much young talent they probably don't even blink.

 

A guy like Quintana can just be traded later if needed to recuperate whatever you gave up for him.
