2003 draft breakdown
I really like the future sox website that ya'll made. It is really helpful in filling us in on the white sox prospects. I gotta give props to you and the other writers on futuresox.com. Keep up the good work!! Thanks...It couldn't be done without everyone that helps out on the site.

Konerko
Well I like to call myself a future GM so I got to have some plan in mind. I really think Kenny has a similar plan in mind. For some reason I'm just getting this feeling that the time has come for Kenny to make a change. He's tried everything except firing the manager and the Sox don't have much time until they start selling, so now would be the time to do it. But I'm trying to think from a common sense stand point and there are many times that this organization doesn't do that.

If the Royals got Juan Gone
Can't argue with that list at all.... Pacheco could be a dark horse candidate, that is if the Rangers don't take him from us. Ya I was thinking Pacheco and then I figured that he'll probably go to AAA next year, simply because the Sox don't seem too keen on rushing guys. I guess it all depends on what next years team looks like. Pacheco will be good though, so I hope the Sox don't lose him. In all honesty I could care less if the Sox lost Yan and Webster or anyone else other then Rupe and Pacheco, those are the guys I want.

If the Royals got Juan Gone
I'd say next season the prospects that have a shot to make the Sox at the start of the season, barring injuries would be: From the Knights Arnie Munoz Felix Diaz Jon Rauch Jon Adkins (If he keeps improving) Joe Borchard Tim Hummel Aaron Miles Mike Rivera Matt Ginter From the Barons Neal Cotts Tetsu Yofu Jeremy Reed

If the Royals got Juan Gone
I think Yofu will be a September Callup. If the Sox like what they see out of him, I'd look for him to replace Glover in the bullpen next season.

Konerko
I can say one thing, if Konerko keeps hitting for the next 10 days then I think Carlos Lee's days in the Sox organization are as good as gone. They will trade him for a starting pitcher/reliever, imo. Also, I think Jerry Manuel would of probably been fired had the Sox not one today. I still say that by the 15th, if this team is still floundering, you'll see the Sox fire Jerry and give Backman about 10 days (till the 25th or 26th) to see if the team can compete with a new guy. If they can, then they'll add another arm. If they can't then they will blow the team up for next year and keep Backman aboard.

Cotts starting the futures game
Ring looked very solid. Nice curveball and good control. The guy that impressed me the most was that Rockies pitcher from Asia. He seemed to have command of three pitches and knew how to pitch. The Pirates guy Vanderbotch was also very good. Harden, who was probably the most hyped, has great velocity and such, but I didn't see all that much movement on his fastball. Greinke was damn good. I'm guessing we'll see Honel and someone else in next years.

Post all-star game
It won't be Loaiza leading it off if he pitches Tuesday night. I'm thinking Buehrle and/or Colon and then EL

Cotts starting the futures game
at 92, isn't it down from where he normals throw at, 94-96 No, he's always been around 88, heck I didn't even think he could hit 90.
-
Cotts starting the futures game
I think it was Jeremy Reed and Honel and Cotts. I don't think there was a list of two. Those guys are untouchable imo.
-
Cotts starting the futures game
Cotts has thrown two really good inside fastballs that weren't called. I really like the way he moves everything around. And I was shocked to see his velocity as high as 92.

Iggy's off to play army...
Thats awesome Iggy. I wish you the best of luck. Using the military to get into flight school is about the best way I know, especially if eventually you want to become an airline pilot. Its about the only way to log the necessary hours and the government pays you to do it.

I'm going to Chitown.
To me Midway is a nicer airport to fly into. Go to travelocity.com, hotels.com, expedia.com and orbitz.com to look for a good deal on hotels. Usually you can look up the price on their, then call the hotel and say you see that price and sometimes they'll work out an even better price, plus that way you make sure you get the room you want.

2003 draft breakdown
I'm working on getting pictures for almost every player, so we can all put a face on the guy. It probably will take the summer to get pictures put up and player pages created for each guy on futuresox, but were working on it,

2003 draft breakdown
We drafted him as an outfielder although many scouts say he could be a pitcher as well and would of went high in that area too. His fastball isn't major league ready right now, but it does have good velocity and it could project even better. According to BA, he has one of the best outfield arms in the country and one of the best over the past couple years.
