Any idea if that Shaffer guy is another person related somehow to Duane?

Ok, its all set. I'm going to try and implement something where after they are a certain amount of days old they get erased though. Thats simply to make sure we don't max out our server.

Ya, its the final two season of Family Guy. Seasons 3 and 4, and then no more. CREATE MORE FAMILY GUY

I think Ginter is going to put things together at the major leagues the next time he comes up. It wasn't too long ago that he flat out dominated as a starter. This guy has good stuff and seems to really of made great strides, especially with his command.

In my mind that would be pushing it. There are still a lot of questions in regards to Yan's bat. Plus, their is more talent in AA so its a better league for him to be in anyway. AAA is typically filled with more of the "veteran" type players and a few prospects. Usually the best are in AA.

Looks pretty good. Its weird looking at Crede cause his number is backwards and upside down. Maybe thats the problem with his swing

I'm heading off. Work is a calling. I'll have the rest of the list updated sometime later today or tonight on FutureSox.

Was watching his video and he looks to have patience. Has an odd swing. He seems to generate good power though and good bat speed. Its funny how his foot comes forward.

I'm guessing we'll see a lot more highschoolers go towards the latter rounds as well as some good college players that don't have the tools the scouts like.

I'm not. I know they said in the recap that it was raining off and on and I think it was pretty cold. Rough night for a pitcher to pitch in.

Info on Williamson Williamson is a quick-armed lefty who can throw several pitches with movement and command. He currently throws mid-high-80s and has the potential for more. Could become a weekend starter quickly for most D1 schools.

Dang, sounds like he had some control issues. Must not of given up many hits.

Thats awesome news.

Sounds like a good pick. I think this guy dropped a lot because of his height. If he's semi mobile, it could be a theory to move him to second base and have a power hitting second baseman. Thats only if he'd have the range. Either way sounds like a solid pick. Had good power numbers and avg and plus defense.

Damn, Cubs tooks three really good catchers. Powell, Ritchie and some guy in the second. Forget his name.

Harrington is such an idiot.

He was supposed to go somewhere between the 2nd and 4th rounds so my only guess is he had high contract demands. He's a college junior so he can still play another year of school. Still, I'd take a shot at him, and offer him 5th or 6th round money. It would cost the Sox one year of some bums salary to get this guy for 5 or 6 years or however long the system works.

Glad to see we grabbed our catcher. Has Landon Powell went yet? Eventually the Sox should take a flyer on him.

Only went five innings because of rain, but he didn't give up a run. They won 3-0. I don't have a box score so I don't know how many hits, k's or walks he had.

Anthony Webster is going to be such a stud.

SOB; Anyone got any idea of how serious it is?

Never knew that about Phillips. I just assumed he was in extended spring training because of arm troubles. Thats not good news if he's just reporting out of shape. He's thrown innings in the minors, but man, someone has to drill it to him to get into camp in shape. He's got the shot to make good money at the majors if he works hard. In regards to West, I'm not quite ready to give up on him, just like I'm not ready to give up on Malone, although he's constantly falling in my book. Both have really good potential. Holt is another one of those guys that in my mind is on his last leg. Somehow he needs to get to AA and hit there. In my mind the big thing about him is he has very good power potential, but that can only keep ya on a list so long. Eventually you have to produce and do it at a higher level. I thought he was due to rebound after he seemed to figure things out last year.

In regards to only trading one of Colon and Loaiza. I think the only reason you hold onto one of them is if you plan on having them around after the rebuilding process is over. Since its very unlikely that you could trade away all those guys and have this team rebuilt fully next year, your best of trading the two of them. Its obvious that Colon is going to gone. Reinsdorf isn't going to add payroll after this dissapointing season, especially considering how many major changes need to be made. IF he was willing to spend an extra 15 or 20 million to patch up the lineup and bullpen a bit more (If its needed) then it could be different. But the fact is that isn't happening. With Loaiza, you could keep him for relatively cheap next year, but my theory is whats the point if your not gonna compete next year. He's rather old and is pitching the best he ever has. He's got an affordable contract, which makes him EXTREMELY attractive to a team looking to add a front of the line starter. The Sox could deal him at his peak in value, which would be a great thing to do. Konerko and Thomas should go. I don't think they can unload Thomas without cutting him or without him doing something. Otherwise they'll have to trade him for someone else that has a rather high priced contract.
