Wilder: "They wanted Borchard"
More potential? Again, Reed led the minors in BA last year and somehow Joe Borchard, the same Joe Borchard whose power has diminished significantly, whose batting eye has gone AWOL, whose walks have flat out disappeared, has more potential? I'm sorry, but scouts and magazines alike have almost annointed Jeremy Reed as the next coming in baseball. Do you think it is logical to pencil in Anderson as the CF of the future? As much as I like Brian, you have to remember he has just entered AA, presumably 1-2 years away IF he continues his current pace. So we're ready to give up on a guy who has flat worn out minor league pitching to the tune of a .330+ BA for a guy who has just entered AA (I still love ya, Brian)? All of us here have been begging for a CF, and Reed just about fits that bill. Now he's expendable? That's contradiction at its finest. Joe Borchard is amassing a .330 OBP in AAA. Now give me some evidence that this will increase to a "respectable" .350, at least. 25 BB in 271 AB for a power hitter? Simple stat recognition shows how awful a trade this was in terms of Borchard vs Reed.

Wilder: "They wanted Borchard"
Could you crawl out of Borchard's jock and explain how the f*** KW made a good deal by trading a guy who hit .409 in 1/3 of a season at AA instead of a guy who's last good season was three years ago. Honestly, EXPLAIN that to me.

Once again the stubborness of this organization sickens me.

EVERYBODY READ!
Happy belated 228th!

Garcia offered Deal
He's going to want 3/30+, this deal won't fly.

Submit your questions for the FutureSox roadtrip!
lol, Rex. If Birmingham can magically lift up out of the state of Alabama and fly over to North or South Carolina, we'll be in business.

7/4 Games
Please do not scare me like that again. Torii Hunter is so unbelievably overrated offensively that it makes me sick. BP was right saying that the Twins are very stupid to sign players to huge contracts after one big year (see Hunter, Mays, etc.) I think it was right to move LaMura to the bullpen. Down at W-S, he easily had the best stuff in the starting rotation, but now since he's been moved to the pen in Birmingham he's been putting up spectacular numbers. Could be the second coming of Wyatt Allen, who knows? Honestly, I see a lot of foreign names on the Bristol roster. Hence I don't know who the hell anyone is over there.

7/4 Games
He's a five tool guy. And he's not a 20-20 guy, I can easily see him as a 30-30 guy, he just needs to work on not becoming the next Reggie Abercrombie.

so this is ozzie ball
Now why is Willie getting off the hook here? Everyone else is getting slammed, and deservedly so, but Harris was atrocious last night. I've never seen so many offspeed pitches end up right down the f***ing middle begging to be nailed be taken.

Submit your questions for the FutureSox roadtrip!
Hey everyone, all of us over at FutureSox thought it would be a good idea for our roadtrip if we took some questions from you guys so we could ask the players. Whom are we seeing you ask? We'll be at Winston-Salem for two days, Kannapolis for two, Charlotte for one (double header). So if you have a question for anyone on the Hogs, Knights or Intimidators roster, let us know! We'll try our hardest to get the questions to the players. -The FutureSox team

Did anyone see F 9-11 yet..?
Whomever compared Hitler to Bush, and whoever believes it, scare me honestly... I mean come on, Hitler was 50 times the public speaker W is That really shouldn't be green, Hitler was probably one of the best public speakers in all of history. Just listening to him during a speech can send shivers down his spine. He sold his message of German nationalism and anti-Semitism extremely well, did wonders for the German economy by building up the German war machine, and...then f***ed up big time.

Absolutely f***ing demolished.

CD Recommendation Thread
Lucky me, I received the latest from Interpol titled Antics. Antics is a big step away from Turn On The Bright Lights, which I am so happy about. TOTBL seemed to monotone and repetitive; Antics on the other hand is a very, very good album. I'm looking foward to seeing these guys on August 12th (along with Mogwai of course). I finally picked up My Bloody Valentine's Loveless, which is a huge album in the scheme of many bands. Phenomenal music. I'm still looking foward to the new Sigur Ros album, which I keep hearing is due out in September sometime.

7/2 Games
No, I am not related to Travis Doyle. But since he shares my last name, he is now one of my favorites in the Sox system. Along with Francisco Rodriguez. Yes, boys and girls, we have our own K-Rod in Bristol

Will the BoSox win the Wild Card?
I think Oakland or Anaheim will get it.

Dusty must have money on this game
Good, good. Getting ready to go on the FutureSox roadtrip and steal every possible thing out of the clubhouses. I mean...get interviews.

Dusty must have money on this game
Dusty must have money on the Sox, I swear. He's starting: Martinez-3B Ordonez-SS Bako-C Mmmmmm. Outs. Walker is in at 2nd. Sox are apparently starting Willie at 2nd, leading off. Rowand in CF in the 2 hole, Timo hitting 6th, Sandy catching. Stolen from WSI, thanks guys.

Oliver Perez
I've been a big fan of Oliver Perez for a while, but no way did I expect him to amass these kind of numbers: http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/players/profile?statsId=6945 Tonight: 7 IP 5 H 1 ER 1 BB 11 SO God DAMN.

Derek Jeter's "The Catch"
Am I the only one here who thinks that play was merely just "good"? A-Rod says it's the greatest catch he's ever seen. I've seen better plays made in this year alone. Go East Coast bias!
-
Brandon McCarthy Promoted to Winston Salem
We'll see if we can coax a little interview out of him during our roadtrip
-
Time for Anderson's call up?
No it's not. As for Anderson being called up, Jason and I demand that the Sox promote him after our roadtrip so we can see him for a few games.

Which outfielder do you want?
Andruw Jones.

Russ Ortiz, Jamie Moyer Article
I'd take Moyer over Ortiz in a heartbeat.

Unfairenheit 9/11
tl;dr Well, this guy is unbiased. He slammed Reagan pretty f***ing hard after he died.
