No sitting or lying down. Always standing while watching television.

No. Not possible.

I watch sports standing up but scripted shows sitting down. I bet he paces too.

He made a terrible argument during transition. Said neither the Cubs nor the Sox have any risk from the trade.

Surprisingly, Spiegel and Rozner put him in his place handily and quickly. He pretty much just changed the subject when they told him how dumb he was.

Tuned in at 3:47 and they were talking about LeBron James and how much he has meant to Cleveland's economy. It's almost like the show has become a parody of how it's described on the board.

I watch sports games standing up a good percentage of the time. Especially Bears games. So I don't think it's that weird. I can't be still during some sports games. I gotta move around.

I agree with Bernstein. Who has risk in this trade and how much? A trade can turn out to be awful and one-sided but that doesn't mean it was a mistake at the time.

Not good.

So you think all trades carry no risk, correct?

I don't think it's too risky for the Cubs. It's insane to say there's no risk on the Sox end.

Isn't there way more risk on the Cubs? They gave up a lot for an okay pitcher. If the prospects pan out, the Sox get a lot, if they don't, well, they weren't winning anything with Quintana anyway.

Bernstein is an idiot.

There is a risk for both teams. If the Sox could have gotten a better players from the Brewers or Astros then they fucked up. We'll see how it turns out. And if Quintana sucks for the Cubs over the next few years then they could have spent their assets better.

It was the decision they both made and there might have been better options. We'll see how it turns out.

Even though both teams have risk, the Cubs have more. The Sox gave up a known guy. The Cubs gave up guys who could potentially be great.

I didn't say that.

Some trades are risky but in this case you have a proven #2 starter on a great contract for 3.5 more seasons. They gave up a top 10 prospect another 75ish prospect and a couple throw-in guys. It is an extremely logical and defensible deal for both teams. The Cubs or Sox can lose the trade but that doesn't change the fact that it was a solid trade at the time.

I think the Hawks trade of Hammer for Murphy is a lot more risky.

Nothing you said means there is no risk for either team.

If Quintana underperformed and Jimenez is the next Nick Swisher, the Cubs look bad.

If none of those prospects pan out, Hahn should have gotten more from someone else.

I look at it as the Cubs know what they got. Jimenez might be great but he might suck too.

But the fact that they are so far away removes a lot of the risk for the Cubs. We all know they could turn into all-star, HOF players but they are still prospects at this point and that is unlikely. The Cubs got the known commodity while the Sox received much more uncertainty. You tell me what's more likely- that Quintana will be a #2-#3 pitcher for the next 3.5 seasons or that Jimenez will develop into a multi-year allstar and Cease will be a starting pitcher in 4-5 seasons?

They weren't winning anything with Quintana. But it was about the choice to go with the Cubs top 2 prospects over what anybody else offered. If the others offers turn out that they would have been better, they fucked up. That's the risk, like I said. The choice is the risk.

Even if Jimenez busts, all they Sox gave up was a career ( at best) .500 pitcher. Not exactly Brock for Broglio.

Yeah but everyone else thinks he's good. And giving him up in his prime on that contract for a return that ends up being all busts would really suck. He does have value.

I think I'm going to have to rewatch Better Call Saul because you know what you are talking about here.

Bird in the hand. 28-year-old lefty with a proven track record of success and inning-eating with 3+ years of control.

If that doesn't work out, it's just bad luck.

I guess the more I think about it, a better way I could phrase it is that this is a safe trade for both teams. Yes, there is risk that either team can win or lose the trade but even if the return for the Cubs or Sox doesn't pan out, it was still a logical, even trade at the time it was made.

Well yeah. I guess at least the teams can say we weren't paying him a bunch of money not to win games for us.

Alright rogue, I know you are in the camp with jorr, FF and one or two other guys on Q, Lackey was a pretty valuable pitcher last year for us, he was 11-8 with 3.35 era.... You don't think Q can outdo that next year for half the salary?
