SN Report: Wunsch On Schedule to Return Soon By Mario Scalise July 17, 2003 SoxNet.net (SN Report #571) - In what has felt to have been a long time, White Sox lefty reliever Kelly Wunsch, placed on the 15-day disabled list with back problems in mid-June, is finally set to return to the pitching mound. Wunsch, 31, plans to pitch this week with the triple-A Charlotte Knights and could be up with the Sox by next week. The back injury was sustained while covering first on a June 11 game against the San Francisco Giants. In 22 games and 15 2/3 innings, Wunsch has a 1.15 ERA, nine walks and 12 strikeouts. Opponents are batting .102 off him.

Ya, I can help ya get it set up. Shoot me an email at jason@soxnet.net and I'll email ya what ya need. Basically all you need is a server and then I can explain how to set up a forum like this up. And if you need any help, I'm more then willing to help ya set it up.

I love mine, its really quick, comfortable, and affordable.

I drive an accord too.

I think I'm gonna vote other and go with Jim Navarro (Thats a combined from of Jim Parque and Jamie Navarro)

I'm thinking your talking about the Lexus Convertible and I agree with you. Its not to my liking. Now if you want realistic, I want my old truck back...but in the newer style. Damn I'd like a 2004 F150 Supercrew, fully loaded.

The Shield is a damn good show. Lucky isn't bad either.

I thought it was Maggs too. I also thought Frank had more total bases. I was going to pick Maggs but then I remembered Franks high OPS and thought he must have a ton of bases, although he also has his super high OBP. Heck, I swore I heard a week or so ago that Lee led the team in whiffs. Geeze, Thomas and Jose have struck out a lot.

Rex, I already got it figure out. By the time I go on the road trip, everyone that I want to see at Winston Salem will be promoted to Birmingham and since the distances don't work (I have to be back in time to get home to California to see the Sox play the Angels) I'm gonna miss all those guys I wanted to see. Just like I missed out on seeing Reed at the all star game. Although I wouldn't be shocked if Reed gets another promotion.

Well....this is officially for the off topic board It never ceases to amaze me how much life all the posters here have. Although I must admit, going from Cameron to talking about religion was a shift I never expected

2003 Draft Breakdown: 30-21 By Randy Brace, Chris Conger, Mike Doyle, and Jason Gage July 17, 2003 FutureSox.com FutureSox.com will take a closer look at all of the White Sox draft picks. These draft picks are the future of the organization and many will be reporting to their minor league teams after they signed. While many will sign, there are plenty that won't sign as they have opportunities to still play in school or may have another profession in mind. Today, FutureSox will continue with picks 30-21. Coming up next is 20-11. 30. Brandon Lowe, 18 - Bats: Left – Throws: Right – 1B – Vidalia High School (Georgia) Brandon Lowe is a potential power-prospect if he re-routes some of his swing mechanics. Lowe is a big kid with good pop in his bat, but he might need to cut down on some pre-swing movement if he wants to progress further. 29. Gerrardo Cabrera, 19 – R/R – CF – Miami Dade Community College (Florida) Gerardo Cabrera was born on December 23, 1983. He’s a right-handed outfielder with the ability to play all three outfield positions, though he played centerfield this season, his first at Miami Dade. He is a classic draft-and-follow pick. He was named to the Florida Community College Southern Conference Second Team. He has a decent build with average speed and good instincts. He was clocked at 89 mph from right field in the Perfect Game Showcase with an easy and loose action. He has excellent bat speed at the plate and has very intriguing power potential, despite not having an aggressive stance at the plate. He doesn’t really step into the pitch, but still manages to have decent weight shift. Overall, he is a pretty raw tools player. The White Sox can sit back and let him play next season before making a decision. If he has a very good season and is not signed, he is likely to be picked on the first day of the 2004 draft. 28. Peter (Van) Pope, 19 – R/R – 3rd – Meridian Community College (Misssissippi) Peter, also known as Van, Pope was drafted to play third base, although he was also a pitcher for Meridian. Pope has a very strong arm for a third baseman and has a lot of power potential. He and teammate and fellow draft pick Joshua Morgan (32) took part in the JUCO world series. Pope hit .400 with a team best four RBIs. He also pitched in one game, giving up two runs in an inning of work. Pope, a freshman, isn’t expected to sign, but could be a draft-and-follow signee. If he doesn’t sign he should have the opportunity to play division one baseball. 27. Dwayne Pollock, 22 – RHP – Texas A&M (Texas) Dwayne Pollock was used as a reliever the majority of the time at Texas A&M. Despite being a college pitcher, Pollock is very raw. He only pitched 29.3 innings over three seasons at Texas A&M and 24.3 of them came this past season. In 2003, he went 2-1 with a 4.06 ERA, while striking out 16. He has a solid fastball, but has a lot of work ahead of him, if he wants to make it to the majors. Pollock has signed and is playing for the Bristol White Sox ®. 26. Logan Williamson, 18 – LHP – Pensacola Catholic High School (Florida) Logan Williamson is yet another lefty pitcher who was drafted by the Sox. Williamson doesn’t have overpowering velocity, but has great command of his pitches, which move a bunch. It is doubtful that Williamson will sign, as it would be beneficial for him to go to college and improve his draft status. 25. Antoin Gray, 22 – R/R – 3rd – Southern University (Louisiana) Antoin Gray, born May 19, 1981, stands 5’10” 200 pounds. After spending two years at Meridian CC, he moved on to Southern University, where the right-handed hitter played alongside 2nd overall pick Rickie Weeks. While not the prototypical size of a third baseman, he is physically strong. He has a good glove and a plus arm. 5’10 200 pounds may be a little on the generous size, but that seems to be his biggest drawback. He can play second base if needed as he has the defensive actions to play either position. Coming into his senior season, he was listed as a Louisville Slugger Preseason First Team All-American after a junior season where he hit .449 with 18 doubles, 19 homers, 77 RBIs and was honored as the SWAC Newcomer of the Year. Gray’s stock was sky-high. However, he followed that impressive season with a .369 average his senior year. His power numbers dropped drastically, as he only posted six homers, 18 doubles, and 50 RBIs in 48 games (179 AB). He made contact more often than not as he had a nice 30:21 BB:SO ratio. If Gray can regain the stroke and power he displayed in 2002, it will be a good value-pick this late in the draft. Gray has signed with the Sox and is playing for the Great Falls White Sox ®. 24. Burke Baldwin, 18 – LHP – Neuqua Valley High School (Illinois) Burke Baldwin is an intimidating figure on the mound at 6’5, 215 pounds, but he also is a very talented pitcher. Burke was named to Chicago Sun-Times All-Area team and led his team to the Northern Illinois Supersectional. He was 10-1 this season with 120 strikeouts in 86 innings. He also held opponents to a miniscal .164 avg. Baldwin already has a good fastball which tops out at 88 MPH. He also has a good slider and a developing changeup, something he worked on over the summer. Baldwin also worked hard on improving his leg strength. Baldwin already has good stamina, as his manager would let him go about 100 pitches per outing. Baldwin has a lot of upside and could develop into a big, strong, power throwing lefty. The good news for the Sox is that Baldwin has given indications that he wants to play pro ball. If he doesn’t sign he is slated to pitch for Kishwaukee Junior College where another Sox draft pick, Paul Moviel plays. It is also the same school that Jerry Manuel’s son, Anthony plays at. 23. John Hurd, 20 – RHP – Southern Idaho (Idaho) John Hurd, the White Sox 23rd round pick is a 6 foot 190 pound right-handed closer for Southern Idaho Junior College. His fastball is in the low 90s consistently. Hurd projects as a closer in the Sox system if he can add a reliable breaking ball. Hurd has signed with the White Sox. 22. Travis Doyle, 19 – RHP – Grand Rapids Community College (Michigan) Travis Doyle was one of 12 draftees from a Junior College or Community College selected by the Sox. Doyle showed good promise with a K/IP ratio of over 1, as well as his OBA, which stood at .219. Could become a draft-and-follow. 21. Matt Lenderman, 19 – R/R – C – Plano East High School (Texas) Matthew Lenderman, born on April 18, 1984, stands 5’11 and 205 pounds. The right-handed catcher slid to the 21st round despite clubs knowing that he preferred to play pro ball than go to college. He has a catcher’s build and is strong for his age. He is a good defensive catcher for a high school kid. He plays hard every game. At the plate, he has quick hands, with a slightly open and upright stance. Despite committing to Grayson College, he has already signed and been assigned to Bristol. He received a $20,000 signing bonus and four years of college tuition if he chooses to pursue a degree at any point. He was co-offensive MVP in his HS District after hitting .371 with eight homers and 37 RBIs. "It's going to be fun," Lenderman said. "I've been wanting this since I was a kid. Everyone that plays baseball has this dream." Lenderman added, "they told me they were weak on catching. Hopefully, I can keep putting the bat on the ball and move through the ranks pretty quick." He has one thing right, the White Sox are weak in catching.

Yep, just a spot start. I'm guessing he'll see Birmingham sometime this year. Then again, they make take it slowly with him and give him a full season there. Him and Wing could be promoted at anytime, imo.

Now lets lock him up long term. Mark, not the baby...although if he's as talented as his son..they could work out a package deal

Ya, when I actually buy a CD (I only buy smaller label Cd's because I figure they need the support) I always go to target. They have the best prices.

The sad thing is she'll get beat again and she'll continue to stay with him. I swear, I don't know what it is, but common sense just doesn't reign in relationships I guess. If a guy is that big of an ass to kick the crap out of you, then why do you ever go back? And why do they think its going to work out.

I'd of traded Koch for Benitez.

NCAA Football 2004. I just got it yesterday and it kicks major ass. The graphics, the gameplay, the depth of dynasty mode it's all ridiculously good. Buy NES games if you have money left over; I went through this NES stage last summer and it lasted about a week. All right, thanks for the advice. I was gonna get it eventually anyways. I think I'm gonna pick it up tonight.

And then the Sox have to wait another couple years to win. I'm sick of waiting and I'm sick of potential to a point. To me if the Sox move guys it should be to get younger, more talented position players that would give the Sox a different look. I love most of our pitching staff and would like to cut salary to sign a few position players and some power relievers in the offseason as well as acquire some via trade.

Its on ESPN 2 right now (5:00 PM Pacific Time Start).

While I like Peavy and Perez a lot (Namely Peavy) you don't trade a 23 year old ace for guys that could turn into aces. Its so rare for a pitcher to live up to their hype and projections. While I think Peavy can its not worth dealing. The Sox have Buehrle for a fwe more years and I'm sure they can work something out. Afterall the two sides were really close this offseason.

The girl in Pirates of the Caribean is Hot. So is Charlize Theron.

911's are freaking awesome.
