Ya Nachreiner has exceptional stuff. 1st round stuff, but he has absolutely no knees. King is a great hitter with some power potential. He may not of been highly touted but the guy has some skills. He has struggled with Great Falls though. The next Draft breakdown will be on Monday and then we'll be rolling it out each day the rest of the week.

I'd say Yofu gets a shot if the Sox blow this thing up. Otherwise it won't be next year before he sees some time in the bullpen. That was an awesome article on both Reed and Backman. God I can't wait to get those two with the White Sox. One plays the game the way it should be played and the other manages it that way.

That damn song the United State of Whatever. That is the worse f***ING song I've ever heard.

Did you know she's pregnant in a lot of her pictures (Such as when she was in Maxim a few months ago).

Well my favorite thing to do with my grandpa was to just go over to his house or go on a drive with him. He was always #1 in my book and its why somewhere deep down I always will root for the Cardinals if he was in the playoffs. He'd always tell me stories of the gas house gang and stuff. He'd also play baseball with me all the time (That was like all I'd do every day. I'd play baseball with my friends, again with my grandpa, and then again with my dad during the summer and then go to the pool at night). Damn to go back to those times without any responsibilities what-so-ever.

Glad to see it back up Mike. I emailed him and got the picture from him and can throw it up on the server if need be.

I think it all kind of went with who was going to be fresh enough to start in the Knights rotation. Also, I wouldn't quite say this is a short term answer. You may see them use Wright in the closers role there to adjust or something like that (Well a reliever role). Who knows, just a little speculation.

Way To Go Jim. As always were all pulling for ya

Well Nanita has like a 20 game hitting streak (14th rounder) and he's looking like an absolute steal.

Dang, sounds like the Sox are doing this really good. I think that they'll only be able to land one of Veal/Moviel but hell this is looking like a damn good draft.

Its fair game. Anyone and everyone is allowed in.

My goodness did the Marlins over pay. Like I say I'd rather have Scott Shields.

The O's turned down a Konerko for Ponson deal straight up cause they want a decent prospect in return. Give them Ginter and hardball them and you may get the deal done. You want a reliever, then give them Glover as well.

Glover needs to throw some innings. After this instance you have to think that they will be calling someone up to pitch in Saturday's game.

I don't disagree with your assesment with him. I do think he has potential though. Since the Sox have been interested in Ponson I have always backed that idea.

Or Scott Shields of the Angels. Shields is awesome.

Possibly a good idea. However i cringe at having a guy go to the pen, especially in the closers role, who cannot locate his pitches. I am not saying he should become the closer immediately, but use him in the seventh inning or so. He would become the closer next year if the Sox decide to trade Koch and of course if he proved his worth. I'd let Koch, Gordon, Marte handle the eighth and ninth. And let me say if the Sox could do a Konerko plus prospect for Ponson deal then I'd be more then willing to do that too. I'd rather do that to be honest.

I do think now is a great time to moev him to the pen where I feel he will be very sucessful. Ponson and a reliever would be so awesome. Use Lee and a prospect or two as bait. Ponson and the reliever would be long term solutions. Sign Ponson for around 5 mill a year, then you let Colon walk yet still have a damn good rotation and a heck of a bullpen.

I have to agree. Sometimes Danny has the most movement in his bad outings. His fastballs cut in and go out they can go any which way. The problem is he can't control the movement and falls behind hitters A LOT. Once Danny falls behind or gets a couple runners on base is when he can get in big trouble because of his control. He can also get out of those jams quite often because of that stuff. Still, he really needs to work on control.

26 decisions is definately a ton. Last year was his first season (You could call it a full season) and then this would be his second year. I say between the two they work out to around a year and a half. In my mind when a guy is rushed you got to wait 3 years before things happen. In that time period you need to see improvement and I've seen that from Danny. Last year prior to the injury he was improving every start. This year he has done pretty good as of late (Minus his last start or I think it was his last start). Coming back from an injury definately drops him back cause with arm injuries it really takes a while to get back into a rhythm.

In my mind Wright has tremendous stuff. He has great movement on his fastball (Its also very hard) and he has one of the better knuckle curves in the game. Stuff wise he's better then Buehrle, but that just shows stuff doesn't mean everything. You still have to know how to pitch (Change speeds, have control, etc) and if you can do that you don't need a great fastball or curve.

The big thing with PK is he's over-paid. Sox are giving this guy 8 mill a year long term and when your not paying big bucks they can't afford that. You move that contract then they could sign a top notch shortstop (Matsui or Tejada) and maybe just maybe at a pretty good reliever in the offseason. I'd take that over Konerko who could be replaced much easier then finding a very good shortstop.

We all have to remember one thing. Wright went from a mediocre college pitcher to the majors in an incredibly short time. This guy really is still learning at the majors. This is also his first full season (Although he was out for a while with the injury). There is no way the Sox should give up on him or Garland. I still think Ponson would be an awesome pickup, but his value goes up every day the Sox wait.

My lineup would be one without Carlos Lee. Just trade him and let Konerko and Daubach platoon at Dh with Daubbie ocassionally playing left field.
