The Sox might get lucky and be able to select Drabek or Walden. A power high school pitcher like that would be a damn good value pick at 29. Also, look for Beato.

QUOTE(daa84 @ Jun 6, 2006 -> 12:17 PM) scrubs take tyler colvin LF from clemson At least we didn't waste a pick that high on him.

i am so pissed about Det., they have got an unbelievable future with Miller, Verlander, Zumaya and more. WOW.

QUOTE(WilliamTell @ Jun 4, 2006 -> 03:08 PM) How's Sweeney doing down in the minors? He's batting above .300, but with limited power. He had been playing some CF, but after his injury, he has been back at RF. He probably could be a .270+ hitter in the majors right now, but would not have the power or a real position to play since Pods can't play CF.

QUOTE(iWiN4PreP @ Jun 3, 2006 -> 05:43 PM) its hella good. but how much teams in league 12

Line Up Ozuna LF Iguchi 2b Konerko DH Dye RF Crede 3b Gload 1b Widger C Uribe SS Anderson CF No Thome, we need a good outing from Buehrle b/c I don't see this lineup scoring more than 5 runs.

Montero is not bad, but where is Javier Lopez. I know he is a lefty, but he has dominated in AAA and has pitched in the majors. I would rather have a lefty who gets outs and have three total, then a righty just for the sake of having a righty. Montero is not a bad option, though, but I just wonder when Lopez's turn might come.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 3, 2006 -> 03:02 PM) It is? I don't think either guy is anywhere close to being considered a big time prospect. Why do the Phillies need Rogo? They have Howard at 1B. Rowand is the center piece of the new style of play the Phillies are going for, and Burrell/Abreu are more likely to be traded than Rowand is. Rowand is a good player, but not someone to be the center piece of the team. Howard and Utley are their center pieces. Rowand brings a hard nose, exciting brand of defense, but is a rather normal player. If they can get something for Rowand, they will undoubtedly exlore it.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 3, 2006 -> 02:48 PM) The Phillies would laugh at that offer. Rowand's playing excellent for them right now. They already have Burrell and Abreu, and two of their top five prospects are OFs (Greg Golson and Michael Bourn,) so Rowand would seem to be the most expendable. Haeger and Rogo is a solid starting offer.

Garland can be traded, he would just have to agree to it. If the Sox ask for his permission to trade him and its to a place like Philly, he might accept it. I would not be suprised if Haeger and Rogo went to Philly for Rowand.

I know Thome had the pulled quad, but did they say on the radio how long he is expected to be out?

How would people like trading for Soriano and sticking him in LF. You could trade Pods, Broadway and Fields for him. We would most likely be overpaying, but he could bat leadoff and provide 40/40 production. Realistically though, offense is not our problem and defense and pitching is, so its adding to a strength and making a weakness worse. That probably is not a good thing, but he would add some more spark to the team.

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Jun 1, 2006 -> 08:40 PM) They're what? 1 game behind last year's pace? I'm getting pissed off too, but at least we're not the Royals. You better believe Ozzie is going to rip to the media tonight. I hope he doesn't. He should tell the team what he fells, yell at them and keep it at that. No need to discuss the matters with the media. It should be a team to team thing, it pisses me off when Ozzie calls out the team in the media. Keep it in house, Oz.

B-Mac has really soiled himself tonight.

Send McCarthy down, then in July let's try and trade Garland to a west coast team (that is the only way he'd accept a trade.)

Wow.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Jun 1, 2006 -> 01:11 PM) It's all about taking the best player available. We can't worry about who is or isn't already in the farm system -- if everything goes well, that's up to KW to figure out two-three years down the road. ------------------------------------- I want to throw a name out there: Pedro Beato. He's a 17th rounder from the '05 draft (or around there) that the Mets didn't sign. He was a D-and-F, and he's said to have a fastball in the mid-90s (touching 96), a nasty sinker, along with featuring a good slider and changeup. He's from the Dominican -- any chance he falls to #29? His stuff seems real nasty. A lot of people were surprised the Mets didn't sign him with all their money, but the guy I would like would be Dellin Betances (sp?) he would be a riskly pick, but at 6-8 with mid 90's stuff and a spike curve ball, I think the risk is good. His comp. is Daniel Cabrera and when he is on, he is as dominant a pitcher in the bigs.

SP J. Beckett SP B. Zito SP J. Verlander RP Fr. Rodríguez RP J. Nathan RP B. Wagner P F. Liriano P B. Arroyo P C. Sabathia DL E. Gagne What do you think, I like it a lot?

QUOTE(Randar68 @ May 31, 2006 -> 04:31 PM) Something to ponder: Has Wes Hodges fallen enough in this draft to be there when the Sox pick? Might be... Can the Sox afford to take another 3B? Well, we drafted him a couple years ago in the 13th round and we have a history of redrafting prospects. However, I don't think he will fall to 29 and I would rather go with a high school pitcher.

Chris Young's main comp. is Mike Cameron, so if he turns out to be Cameron, I certainly won't be that angry. If we kept Chris Young and he became a ten time all-star and during his tenure we did not win the WS, then it doesn't matter. If we win this year, Vazquez is going to be a intergral part and I will gladly trade a all-star player (like Young could be) for a WS title.

It is possible, but the bigger question is how many wins can Buehrle rack up?

He wants a major league contract and the Sox will not give that to him. Being a Boras client also kills his chance to be drafted by the Sox.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ May 29, 2006 -> 08:20 PM) Wasn't there one that opted to go to Texas? Jordan Danks? If you are talking about him, he is not eligible because he went to college and not a Junior College.

QUOTE(CubsSuck1 @ May 23, 2006 -> 11:22 PM) score came in the mail today... 32 with an unexpected 36 on science Nice job, I got a 32 overall, as well. But, I did my best work in the math with a 36, I always hated the science because half the time, the questions were just messed up.

Nelson is in.
