QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Jun 7, 2007 -> 09:33 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'm sure glad KW fixed the bullpen!! So you wanted to replace Thornton after 2006? Interesting.

Thornton = blown save machine. And Abreu is a f***ING SOX KILLER!!!!!

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 7, 2007 -> 09:16 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Don't get me started on that. If the Sox lose this game I got $5 that says Ozzie brings up how the "kid" couldn't get the bunt down costing them a run.

lame

Damn.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 7, 2007 -> 09:14 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> He seems to get so antsy when he gets called up. You could tell how little confidence he had, as he was looking at the 3rd base coach for signs prior to the 2-2 pitch. Didn't help himself by getting in a hole by going up there trying to bunt.

f*** bunting. Let the big kid swing.

QUOTE(TheOcho @ Jun 7, 2007 -> 08:56 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> What is with all that crap on the field? That's the New York Yankees and the Chicago White Sox's offense.

QUOTE(CWSOX45 @ Jun 7, 2007 -> 08:54 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Garland was not drafted by us. Logan counts I suppose, but he was pretty much all luck. The guy almost dropped out of baseball completely. I'm talking about our scouting department DRAFTING players. They've done a horrible job, and the result is what you're looking at right now on the field.......an AWFUL baseball team. That is absurd. He was a kid who made a huge jump who still has plenty of options available for his young career. http://www.usatoday.com/sports/baseball/dr...velopment_N.htm According to USA Today, the Sox are 10th amongst all MLB teams for highest % of players to make the big leagues within being drated of the first 5 rounds. Don't believe me? Read the article. It's amazing how many freaking minor league/scouting experts we have here when I'm betting a small percentage of the posters have actually attended a Sox minor league game, a small percentage even know what to look for while attending the game, and an even smaller percentage follow the other MLB teams's farm systems. 10. Chicago White Sox (24.3%): Joe Crede, a fifth-rounder in 1996, won a Silver Slugger Award as the AL's best offensive third baseman last year. Two 1998 first-rounders, outfielder Aaron Rowand and pitcher Kip Wells, have been solid major leaguers but are with other teams. The White Sox have high hopes for more recent picks, including third baseman Josh Fields, a 2004 first-rounder, and outfielder Ryan Sweeney, a 2003 second-rounder.

QUOTE(caulfield12 @ Jun 7, 2007 -> 08:53 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Can someone please explain to me why we're drafting all pitchers when we need about 4-5 positions on the field to be replaced? Is KW planning to trade all of his pitching prospects to fill needs? Well, that's one way to go about it...as pitchers are the most valuable components of any organization, just not sure I agree with that philosophy or not. If we have an infield problem right now, what makes you think some prospects are going to change it for next year? How about we build up our farm with the best possible players, and use them as trading pieces to fill our holes? Pitching prospects tend to be worth more in the trading market, so I understand where the Sox are coming from.

QUOTE(CWSOX45 @ Jun 7, 2007 -> 08:49 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> What upsets me most is how our Minor League Scouts and Administration have only developed three guys from our system that are still with the club (Buehrle, Fields, Crede) ....that is pathetic. How do these guys still have jobs? How does Greg Walker? For God's sake, Garland is pratically a Sox prospect. Does Logan not count either? Jenks was acquired thanks to our stupid scouts, likewise with Thornton. All those free agent signings before the 2005 are currently in the lineup as well.

Please define "darn good" in terms of third basemen. You do realize there are a lot of great players who play third base, correct?

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Jun 7, 2007 -> 08:44 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> If the Yankees win, and Detroit continues its ass-raping of Texas, we're looking at 9 out of the division and 6.5 out of the wild card lead with six teams to jump. Delightful. Goodbye, Buehrle. Dye -- the least you could do is get on a hot streak and drive up your value. Otherwise, hit well so you can bring this ballclub Type A compensation. We'll need every additional draft pick for next season. Wouldn't you rather see a certain hitting coach reassigned in the organization before moving our players in June? This team needs a shakeup, and it starts with the coaches. Ozzie needs to step it up.

QUOTE(quickman @ Jun 7, 2007 -> 08:38 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Crede had a nice year last year and I rate him as one of the better 3bman in all of baseball. Doesn't mean he is great, just tha the is in the top percentage. Still our org blows. With the exception of 2006, Joe Crede has been in the bottom-third rank of the regular thir basemen in the MLB.

no surprise there.

QUOTE(BearSox @ Jun 6, 2007 -> 05:28 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> What's wrong with Jeff Cirillo? He plays great D at 3B, has a little speed left in him, and while he doesn't blow you away with the bat, his veteran presence makes up for that. Sounds like Erstad. We don't need that junk.

QUOTE(jackie hayes @ Jun 7, 2007 -> 08:02 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> His stat sheet was okay, save strikeouts, and his gun readings are quite good. At least make sense when you insult people. My post makes perfect sense. Go back and read the "analysis" of all these posters slamming the Sox's decisions. The first, and main reason why people were/are slamming this pick are due to his K numbers which you just set aside.

QUOTE(Reddy @ Jun 7, 2007 -> 07:56 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> analysts at the draft saying that poreda could be every bit as good as the guys to go at the top of the round. I doubt they know as much as our Soxtalkers who only follow the game from stat sheets and radar gun readings.

QUOTE(Reddy @ Jun 7, 2007 -> 07:43 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> nathan jones... whozat? A horrible wrestler who was in the movie "Troy."

[berman]Oh no![/berman]

This is the Middlebrooks guy that people wanted to draft?!?!?!

Looks like fields running on that play actually put the SS in position to field that ball. Hate it when that happens

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Jun 7, 2007 -> 07:23 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Cintron is the worst position player on an MLB roster right now, and it's not close. Bulls***. Jason Kendall, and it's not even close.
