96 MPH for DLS. He could get to the high 90's once he fills out his body. He looks like he has some moxy on the mound, too, which I like.

DLS really need a change up for the righties.

95 that time for DLS.

De Los Santos has got a wicked breaking ball.

Thank God. I don't know what I would have done had they traded him.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jul 8, 2007 -> 03:27 PM) The 8 ERA was his major league ERA. His minor league numbers aren't ridiculous but they were pretty good this year. good call, leave it to ESPN to screw something like that up. I was confused too when I saw the 29 innings, but now it makes sense. QUOTE(3E8 @ Jul 8, 2007 -> 03:29 PM) Yeah like Jason impolied, Ellbsbury is a guy that both Ozzie and us would appreciate as a leadoff hitter. No Pods/Erstad. But if he were to be the main piece along with Lowrie or something, I'd be pissed. BUEHRLE SIGNED

How does a guy with numbers like Vanden Hurk start the futures game? And Ellsbury is god-like fast.

I think I read/heard that Fautino will pitch between the 4th and 6th innings. I think I heard this or read it, but it is very possible that I completely made it up, too.

QUOTE(Brian @ Jul 6, 2007 -> 03:04 PM) Eh. I'm not a big fan of Noc. Seems he tries to do too much when he isn't one of the top options on the floor. Don't like the money being tied up with him when we will need to re-sign Deng soon. Pax would not have resigned Noc if it affected the future signing of Deng, or Gordon for that matter. Don't worry there is plenty of money to go around and I would expect Deng to get an extension before the season starts, Ben maybe.

that is pretty aswesome. I am on here at least 10 times a day, its just a great site.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Jul 2, 2007 -> 04:36 PM) Moves I'd like to see this year... Floyd to the majors, in the spot of whatever starter is traded Sweeney to the majors for Pods' spot Richar or Bourgeouis to the majors, if (when) Cintron or Mack are traded Gio to AAA in Floyd's spot Egbert to AAA in someone's spot, probably Nunez - release Nunez??? Lucy to AAA and demote Gustavo to AA (or maybe release Wiki, though he has gotten hot lately) Collaro to AAA in Sweeney's spot - let's see if that huge K ratio is really so bad Schnurstein to AA, release or demote Myers McCulloch to AA in Gio's spot Cunningham to AA in Collaro's spot FDLS or Teixera to A+ in McCulloch's spot (FDLS might be a rush, but he is so dominant) Chris Carter to A+ in Schnur's spot Maurice Gartrell to A+ in Cunningham's spot (Gartrell has already been at AA previously) HE GONE!! And you have Richar mentioned above, too. Prolly just a brain fart.

QUOTE(Sonik22 @ Jul 1, 2007 -> 10:27 PM) Fixed and agreed. That Uribe signed WS ball is looking good now lol! I will still keep it the rest of my life though! haha, yeah, my bad. What was I thinking?

Floyd to the majors (for Contreras) Richar to the majors (for Uribe, I just hate Uribe, so this is more about that than Richar) Gio to AAA (take Floyd's spot) Egbert to AAA (Nunez's spot) De Los Santos to High A for I someone. Also Poreda to low A (De Los Santos spot)

QUOTE(SEALgep @ Jul 1, 2007 -> 10:07 PM) For the record, MB isn't an ace, he's a good number 2, great number 3 type pitcher. i would say solid ace, great #2 and amazing #3. How many #2's can pitch 200+ innings a year, low-to mid-three ERA? Plus, great pickoff, defense, teammate and on...

On Baseball America, the had an article about some of the best international players and who they were linked to and of course the White Sox to nobody. The cubs to some, Red Sox and Yankees to basically all. Braves/Indians to some, Mariners also. And we wonder why we don't produce international players at all, well because we don't sign any good ones (maybe De Los Santos can change that.)

KW you are a effing moron. When a pitcher is willing to sign with you for below market value, just give him the damn no trade clause. My god, your arrogrance is way too over the top. And it ain't like we are going to be building a championship team anytime soon.

QUOTE(dasox24 @ Jun 28, 2007 -> 02:51 PM) 6'10'' 225 lb PF Terrence Jennings (#9 overall/#4 PF in '08) out of Mt. Zion Academy in Durham, NC has listed Illinois in his Top 3 along with Washington and Maryland. Can you imagine if Illinois was to land a Top 10 national recruit right out of Duke's backyard? Go get 'em, Bruce! I think our '05 National Championship appearance as well as the years before of being pretty dominant in the Big 10 has had a big effect on these young guys coming up. That would be an unbelievable get. I just dont have the faith in Bruce to close, but hopefully he will. I just hopes guys start making their decisions soon. I would like to have two committs before summer ends.

The only thing I wished could have happened was for Hawk to make the call in a Sox uni. But, I will always think of Frank as the reason I become such a baseball fan. Way to big man.

QUOTE(winninguglyin83 @ Jun 27, 2007 -> 07:15 PM) Let's remember we're talking about the same owner that let Michael Jordan and Phil Jackson walk. Please...Jordan was being paid nearly $30 million dollars by Reinsdorf in his final years. Once MJ left, Phil did not feel like rebuilding. For all the crap people give Reinsdorf, he is the best owner in this town by far and has been for the past 20 years.

QUOTE(Buehrle>Wood @ Jun 27, 2007 -> 04:23 PM) Liggins was far, far from the big-time guy in this class. I agree, Liggins wanted to be a point guard and Illinois already has there guy in McCamey. Ligigns would have been a great get, believe me, but it was not likely to begin with and Illinois has bigger needs like 2 wings and a big. Suggs/Shumpert will hopefully be one of the wings with Humphrey being the other and Dunigan being the big. Liggins won't really score a ton and that's what Illinois needs, so as far as I am concerned he is not a huge loss.

QUOTE(Balance @ Jun 27, 2007 -> 03:17 PM) He already has. Earlier he was reporting it was a done deal. Now he's saying they're "close." I'll bet soon, Ofman claims that the deal fell through citing the fifth year was the sticking point.

QUOTE(Steff @ Jun 27, 2007 -> 03:08 PM) M, J, & H start ripping on them yet? yep, but its Carmen not Mac. I think what ESPN is doing is stupid, basically calling the Score idiots and wrong and all that. If Buehrle signed the 4-year, 50 million thing it would make Carmen look like a complete moron.

QUOTE(jackie hayes @ Jun 27, 2007 -> 01:37 PM) There's just no chance the money's that low. It's possible they're talking an extension for 4 years, but if so, the $50 mil is just a mistake. yeah, its about 5 million less than what he could make per year on the open market, but not all baseball players are greedy snobs, some are just good guys.

Even though 4 years, $50 million is nothing for a pitcher of Buehrle's caliber, it is still a s*** load of money and sets him up nicely for the rest of his life. So, maybe Mark is just a great guy and will take a little less to stay here.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jun 27, 2007 -> 01:28 PM) Levine talked to Buehrle's agent who said no new negotiations have taken place. That's why I hate the Score, they always jump way too soon on information. I trust Levine more than any of the reporters in the town, he honestly has the most sources out of anybody. BTW, the Score is still reporting this...
