RPB, I am not bothered, just saying thanks as I was in one of those Business center rooms with other people, as I scroll down and there is the almost full screen nude of a dude. I just said THANKS...maybe a little warning....
Lotsa of information discussed...some items.
Samardijza - You can have him, he knows everything better than anyone else. "Jeff and Eye didnt see eye to eye, I will just leave it at it" I will just guess Stone made a side comment to him or a few comments on things he might have seen and Sharkie, big timed Stoney or doesnt get along.
Look for an offer to Cespedes...thats for the Sox
Cubs going after 2 pitchers, not really news.
Huge fan of Theos, says he runs the best front office in baseball. Information wise and everyone is pulling in the same direction. No infighting, Takes care of issues right away. Used McLoud as an example. He knows McLoud will be gone and could have been gone, Theo cuts a 3 year deal with him, getting a very nice raise, so McLoud can stay around to see what THE PLAN through...(Stone didnt say Plan)
No great talent in Sox farm system, Anderson and Milwaiwizczxzea? Examples of two good players, who could make an impact and need to continue to improve, but nobody projecting them with high ceilings, but they have talent and could be regulars at some point.
One of his favorite players in any system. Gley Torres. Might be a tremensoud bargaining chip. Thinks he will be a better SS than anything they have, but they have a really good one, so you might be trading him this year at the break for a big time pitcher.
....and the best for last....Showed him the thread of FAR BETTER, spent some time setting up the circumstances of his comments regarding rizzo...and his repsonse. "I may have been a little off on that one" Thats is the pinnacle of the INTERNET W.
Sure, I could talk about Hawk, Kenny, Ricketts, other business deals outside of Cubs / Sox...but I am sure that would bore so many of you, plus thats a ton of stuff I would need to make up since it didnt happen.
I did extend the olive branch on behalf of all of Cubs nation, said he needs to come on back for the ride. He laughed and said he didnt know I had that kind of power...said we would figurre something out.
Good night Chicago!
Remember when considering his projections of minor league players that he had Donnie Veal set for stardom.
I don't have a lot of confidence Stone Pony is spending a lot of time watching the minor leagues so most of his information is what he heard from another source.
