QUOTE (BearSox @ Jul 9, 2009 -> 09:53 PM) He has a great K:BB ratio, but he has been far from dominant in low A. His ERA is solid but unspectacular, and while he K's a lot of people, he also gives up a decent amount of hits as his opp. BA is not that impressive as it is .245, probably closer to .250 after today. I like Carter, but I don't think he's quite really earned a promotion yet. Bull, He and Hudson had nearly identical numbers in their first 4 starts in April. Hudson (rightfully so), gets the promotion and Carter is still pitching in low A. Now I don't know if it was mechanics to work on more with Carter or maturity issues (which I heard a rumor from) but he was actually well ahead of the curve in low A. I don't care if his era was 4.50, if your striking out guys at a ridiculous pace (10+ K9), not to mention your BB is very low (2.5 BB9), and your H to IP is solid, with a low WHIP, your ass should not be stuck in low A this long. Hell he had better numbers than Hudson in Great falls last year and was one of their dynamic go to pitchers in the playoffs. He should not be in low A this long plain and simple, even if it was maturity issues which I still seriously doubt.

I would say at this point, Dexter Carter probably has to throw a no hitter to finally move up to high A.

You are probably the harshest critic on womens looks outside of my brother(who happens to be gay). Well Carl does shave his legs. Not saying TRU is gay cause hes my boy, but I'd just thought I'd throw that in here.

Congrats to Jordan Danks!! He's replacing David Cook in the All-Star game.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jul 9, 2009 -> 12:15 AM) Ha. Good call, but at least he was young and new with a babyface... not an old Royal's reject.

I'll say this after all of the stuff said in here... Jimmy Gobble being DFA'd is probably the greatest thing that's ever happened to the organization and the fans who had to watch him.

In the words of Jhonny Danks poster.. don't stop get it get it.

The Hell Yes... I love. The double Yes... yea that's pushing it IMO.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jul 8, 2009 -> 10:42 PM) Daniel Black just destroyed the ball tonight. Going 3-4 with a 2b, 3B and an RBI Heavy D!!! Still sureal to see him in the sox organization. Oh.. and Brent Morel is hitting like he's possessed.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Jul 7, 2009 -> 03:28 PM) Actually 12:34:56 07/08/09 Oh and 07/08 can either read July 8 or 7 August. I can now quote and send PMs to people!!!! W00T!!!!

This year was Grienke's CY Young to lose, and so far now, he seems to not want it. Makes you think how incredible Cliff Lee's season was in his Cy Young year. I don't even think he had as many bad outings the whole year as Greinke so far.

It's because Darko is Serbian.. Nuff said.

Maybe it's a good thing Beckham moved up so quick to save people's sanity.

Looks like tomorrow could be the official day.

So your saying Jenks will be gone soon Alex? Inside information!!!

Futuresox, baseball cube, minorleaguebaseball, etc.. all has him born as January 12,1986. Unless I can't count I'm assuming/taking a shot at the dark here that he's an early 23.

Where are people getting 24 from? He's 23. I don't care if that's just a year off, get your damn facts right. BTW, yes I'm still bitter here.

From page 1-3 (or 1-4..) I've poured out my feelings on this. This will definitely be one of those thread bumps in the future, whever years it may come. I don't give a damn if Allen is horrid when he gets to the D-Backs, or if he never makes it, Kenny coulda done much better than this (whether it was a bigger deal for a solid SP/hitter, straight up prospects trade, whatever) or if Pena all of a sudden becomes Joe Nathan in a set-up version (or even close), I still wouldn't like it it as far as a value standpoint. Like I said before pages ago here, Allen was very overrated on this board, Dan and myself didn't even crack him in the top 5 in our system, but an athletic, power hitting, very quick 1B like him even if the sox brass was down on him getting a damn reliever from what you couldn't netted with a Shirek, Ely etc. ?! I've never not liked a KW deal.. NOT ONCE since I'm been here in 5 years. I've liked every deal he's made cause of his track record, scouts, etc.. (still defend the Swisher deal/C. Young deal which STILL people hate here) but I can't even do it in this deal which is the very first time for me.

The next ST overrated. Though Konerko is married, I've never seen him so nervous in an interview.

Allen I had very down as a prospect (Dan as well) so I wasn't slurping him as alot of people here have. I just think you sell high on him in a bigger deal for a pitcher/hitter/whatever.

Allen can suck for all I care, but he mighta been a good trade chip for a bigger deal. You never know.

Hopefully this might turn into a Thornton type deal, though this is a different situation.
