Can't stand it.

Welp, it's official:

RBI sensei Goins comes through again. Another 250 PA coming his way this season.

There's a fourth, unknown piece (a prospect) that may or may not sway things a bit. Rutherford, Clarkin, _______, and Clippard.

The timing of this article by Jeff Sullivan from earlier today is impeccable: http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/the-w...or-trade-chip/

Matt Carpenter comes to mind - he was a 13th round pick out of college. Noda is a 15th round selection out of college.

I can't, for the life of me, understand this trade. Even as a rental player, there's just no way the Tigers should have accepted anything less than a return involving at least one - if not two - truly impact prospect(s) for JD Martinez. Al Avila is dumn.

32 lol.

Two years, you say? That's interesting, considering he got drafted thirteen months ago.

Second time in a row I've forgotten to edit my team after lineups were announced. Growing older sucks.

What an incredible top 10 for the White Sox: http://www.baseballamerica.com/minors/2017-chicago-white-sox-midseason-top-10-prospects/#L8DF69TAbRlXqlQQ.97

Oh, are you practicing ventriloquism with your hand?

That three year difference means everything.

Real news.

Yay, he Pearced the hearts of the Red Sox with that hit.

Regardless of what happens, bringing in Leone here is just a horrible decision.

Done.

Said nobody ever.

Yeah, he's really popped up again this year after everyone was down on him. He looks legit to me. I would love to see him at AA soon to get a better feel for how his stuff would do against more advanced competition.

Confirmed!
