QUOTE(JimH @ May 12, 2005 -> 07:09 AM) I agree, they were supposedly looking at the Long Beach SS. Unfortunately with all the Boras guys I have a bad feeling Troy will be going somewhere in the Top 10 and since he's recovered nicely from his injury and has been mashing the ball since coming back he may even make it into the Top 5. The guys a total stud. If they could take anyone in the draft, I wouldn't have any trouble with him. Of course Maybin and Upton are both studs in there own right and I'm probably the lone person that would take Troy over either of them, but I think Troy is that good. Plus he's going to move through the minors quickly and is not only good offensively but good defensively (has a cannon). There are a few other SS's that will be there when the Sox pick. If they aren't afraid of Boras they could get Greene. I know a few scouts have Greene ranked ahead of Troy but Greene will not get selected ahead of him and will likely be there when the Sox pick. Also a kid named Billinglsey or something along those lines (I may have the name wrong but a few people have posted recently about him). He's supposed to be a lesser known guy with ability. I think Clement is over-rated and I wouldn't draft him. I would draft Jeff Larish in the 4th or 5th round if he's still available. I just don't see him as anything more than that and he should of left after his sophmore season. But Larish is a first baseman with a ton of pop from ASU. Look for them to go catcher sometime in the 1st 5 rounds though, unless they decide no one on the board is worth it because catcher is a position that ends up getting overdrafted. Sox may overdraft in the 1st round (in terms of making sure they get a quick sign) but they typically draft best available the rest of the way and have shown that (and thats based on there rankings).

QUOTE(Whitesoxfan56 @ May 11, 2005 -> 07:31 PM) White Sox signed infielder Ricky Gutierrez to a minor league contract and assigned him to Triple-A Charlotte. Now they won't have to go back to Pedro Lopez next time they lose an infielder. Not a bad signing, he would be better then Lopez. Per RotoWorld.com This is a very good signing. Guitierez has also been a solid player.

They'll look at catcher or SS in the 1st round.

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ May 11, 2005 -> 03:17 PM) I'm not sure I'd right them into the playoffs yet. The A's offense is not hitting near where it can and has before. I expect that to improve as the year goes on. I also expect the pitching to be a little worse, but it will still be solid throughout the year. You also have the M's, whose offense looks decent this year, and if the pitching staff comes around, they could be a very dangerous team as well. That division could be a crapshoot all the way through the season...will be interesting to see who ends up winning it, because you know if the A's are close, Beane is gonna try and add a piece to the puzzle. No, the rest of the division is weak. Its right there with the NL West as the worse division in baseball. Thats right the AL Central is better cause both the Twins and Sox will be making the playoffs.

It won't last...Paulie, Jermaine, and Aaron are all very very good hitters against left handed pitching. Just wait, they'll get that average up like an old man on viagra.

Tonite is baccalaureatte (sp?) and last nite were the awards. I graduate May 15. Kept my 4.0 too God, time flies. You fail high school Alex.....I never taught you the art of slacking off.

When we put up the audio clips we go onto our sites server and put them up.

Ya, Politte worked hard this spring focusing on his secondary pitches and its really paid off. That and he's pitching in on lefties.

QUOTE(Iwritecode @ May 11, 2005 -> 11:06 AM) Does this mean we will start seeing DVD's come out in 2 different formats kinda like what they do with wide-screen and full-screen now? Or will it be 4 different formats (including wide and full)??? At the most it would be 3 formats because highdeft dvd's will be meant for widescreen tv's. Nearly all tv's made now are of the widescreen variety. They are still a few square ones for sale but its twindling, especially with HD getting more and more affordable.

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ May 11, 2005 -> 02:57 PM) Colon is pitching alright, and Escobar is solid. But I look at see Washburn, Byrd, and Lackey, and see 3 mediocre pitchers. Washburn is pitching over his head right now, and Byrd and Lackey are not that good. It is just one of the reasons I hated their offseason so much. Instead of keeping Eckstein for $3 mill, you non-tender him and sign Cabrera for $3.5 mill more per year. And you sign Steve Finley for 2 years at $8 mill per, which again, does not make much sense to me...the guy is coming off a career year at like 39, and you give him $8 mill per? And then instead of using that money on the s*** mentioned above, you should bring in a guy like Pavano, Clement, Pedro, or RJ, and then worry about other, less protruding needs. Does Pedro-Colon-Escobar-Washburn-Lackey not just look outstanding? Hell, even Colon-Clement-Escobar-Washburn-Lackey looks acceptable, and better than the garbage rotation they have now. If you sign Clement, you still the money to even get Finley if you want him that badly...you just still have to hang onto the underrated David Eckstein over the overrated Orlando Cabrera. Don't get me started, every game I go to I b**** about there s***ty pitching and s***ty lineup. They are a great defensive team with a good closer, aside from that they are pretty lousy. Oh ya Vladdy is the shiznit. And anyone that ever wanted Cabrerra can have him, he sucks ass. I didn't even like Eckstein but I'd rather have him then Orlando.

QUOTE(longshot7 @ May 11, 2005 -> 02:31 PM) They lost 2 of 3 to Detroit at home and now they're gonna lose 2 of 3 to Cleveland at home. They're getting demolished by the Jndians right now. What is up with them? As an ANgel fan...they aren't very good. They will make the playoffs solely because they are playing in a crappy division, aside from that they are just an average team. And they looked like s*** today, it made me want to puke out there...luckily it was a lovely day though.

QUOTE(SleepyWhiteSox @ May 11, 2005 -> 10:23 AM) Double Dribble and Blades of Steel are two of the greatest sports games ever! I still play Tennis on Game Boy... MARIO-KART 64 is my all-time favorite. We'd put away madden, ncaa, nbka2k, halo, and the rest and break out the N64 to play first-to-25 Battle wins in 4-player when I was living with some friends in college...World Series 2K1 is another game that got a lot of play in the apt... Any Legend of Zelda is good too...and almost all the NES games are great... I've been playing tons of Mario Cart lately...both the original and 64. Freaknig outstanding games..from battling to doing the actual circuit. f***ing Rainbow road

QUOTE(MinnesotaSoxFan @ May 10, 2005 -> 11:28 PM) got the thread idea from SoxNBears01 My favorite video game from way back has to be NBA Jam for SNES. 2nd: Ken Griffey presents MLB Baseball-N64 3rd: Pilot Wings-SNES Alright PilotWings was very badass. However, I'm going for NES...CONTRA I also liked SNK baseball for Nintendo. I remember I'd be the all girl team and whoop up on my friends.

That sounds really cool. Of course I don't want to see Buehrle or someone going 7 innings a few times during this tourney as opposed to him getting his normal work in spring training.

Flat out impressive Dan

QUOTE(danman31 @ May 10, 2005 -> 02:04 PM) You'll get better once you get a feel for it. I remember that and dasox24 went through that last year. Just don't rely on Jason to edit your papers all the time, he's bad with grammar and rather untimely. Ya, once you get a hang of it I can set it up where you can put them straight up. Farm, you had one thing pretty much perfect and that was grammar. I did everything I could to flat out stay away from it. Really it was a nice job, especially for a first piece. Looking forward to more

Happy BDay Fellas

Did you guys read the writeup. Saying how the Sox are desperate for lefties. Did they get the freaking memo...Sox drafted Lummy, Gio, Whisler, and Liotta last year.

This is laughable. If the Blue Jays take Ricky Romera 6th overall I'll be in shock. I'm a Fullerton fan and all, but no way does he deserve to go near that high.

Personally I think thats a reach for the Sox, imo.

Sweet stuff Jim...you the man
