QUOTE (Ozzie Ball @ May 7, 2014 -> 08:50 PM) Jordan Guerrero continues doing good things: 2 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K 11 K/1 BB in 8.2 IP on the year. Pretty high on this kid. (lefties with good change-ups are always nice), although I must admit I didn't think he would be this solid just yet. (had him pegged next year as a sleeper.. props to Jon on calling that out this year) Good character, great changeup and Hispanic. He's winning in my book.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ May 6, 2014 -> 08:30 AM) I want him to succeed if only so i can hear broadcasters say his name Hell, imagine if we draft Rodon. It's bad enough posters here call Rodon "Rondon" almost annually.

QUOTE (oneofthemikes @ May 6, 2014 -> 07:54 AM) I would say it depends on Hoffman's remaining starts. They obviously liked Hoffman a lot before the injury so if he comes back and is healthy and dominant I wouldn't be stunned if they take him. I still think he's the guy. Plus I still remember bucket's post about Laumann being in love with him for a while now.

Don't care what anyone says about the lack of luster between these two teams, it is always fun to rag my cubs fan coworkers about us stompin' dat ass.

Heh.. Isaiah Rider and Harold Miner. Those names are blast from the past. Speaking of overhyped kids from the past, I wonder what my boy Darius Miles is up to these days.

QUOTE (johndyce @ Apr 29, 2014 -> 10:35 AM) Tool? That guy was living as large as living large can get! Big hawks jersey, wife next to him (and not pissed about the yelling), slamming beers, sitting front row behind home plate. We could only hope to live that large some day. Haha, you know that man was large when johndyce has to come out of retirement to post.

You can never go wrong with LHP.

Wild win! Hawks will get extra rest.

These young guys are fun to watch. (trying not to think about Avi anymore) Hope Hahn continues to add to that young talent. I'll also say I never realized how much movement Putnam has on his pitches.

Semien second on the team in BBs. And I love Adam Eaton. Maybe not as much as Steve, but the love is there.

Lets work on that trade value Becks!

Oh dear...

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 24, 2014 -> 08:46 AM) What are you keying on with him? What do you know about him? I know basically nothing so I'd love to hear more. He was pretty touted in high school in Cali. I believe he made varsity as a freshman. (good pitcher and hitter) He was the captain of the team as a senior which speaks volume about his character. Athletic kid (white sox M.O., 2 sports) Add to that, he's hispanic, so two thumbs up there. Probably would have been a higher pick if he went to college. He is definitely known for his good changeup. Jon has actually seen him, so I'm sure he can give background on his stuff. I've only seen reports about his velocity fluctuating from high 80s to low 90s. (might be a guess why sox have him in the bullpen now...)

QUOTE (Ozzie Ball @ Apr 23, 2014 -> 08:13 PM) Jordan Guerrero making season debut with Kannapolis, for fans of his. IP, BB, SO Kid is no doubt very raw (and skinny as hell), but his upside is noticeable. I know Jon and myself like him alot. (although me personally I think he'll be on our top prospects list by next year) He'll have his down games, but I think he will get more noticed later down the line.

QUOTE (ChiSoxJon @ Apr 22, 2014 -> 08:52 PM) Just a few quick...Engel, Michalczewski, Rondon, Ayala, Guerrero Now there is a hell of a dark horse pick. I like his upside in a sense, but my god is he freaking raw. I'm on the bandwagon though.. I just think he will shine next season, however.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 22, 2014 -> 11:42 AM) Hmmm. I remember him being noted for his motor. He had great speed too for a hybrid. But you are correct about what the scouts liked the most about him. I know that's what Emery loved about him as well as his motor.

Spurs Popovich wins NBA COY. Thibodeau was 3rd.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Apr 22, 2014 -> 11:16 AM) Yeah, I totally buy the 4.5 40 time. I'm not sure there is anything more worthless than self-reported 40 times or a 40 time reported by a player's trainer. Agreed, but considering he was a 4.6-4.7 when he was drafted (at a heavier weight) it isn't THAT farfetched. Dude was always noted for his speed. QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 22, 2014 -> 11:39 AM) Look at his before and after pictures, no wonder the guy gets out muscled at the line. He's lifting heavier now at a lighter weight. That alone should tell you something.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 22, 2014 -> 10:21 AM) Christopher Kamka ‏@ckamka 8h Jose Abreu: 18 RBI through first 20 career games is most by a White Sox player since Zeke Bonura in 1934 (20) OT: not a twitter guy, but love that guy's tweets, very knowledgeable.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 22, 2014 -> 09:06 AM) I read where Turner may be the only SS drafted in the top 250. If you get a good SS, you better keep him. Hell, microscopic chance, but if Trey fell in the early second round, and we nab him, I'd do cartwheels.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Apr 22, 2014 -> 10:07 AM) At least Hossa and Sharp are getting shots on goal. Versteeg and Shaw had a combined 1 shot on goal yesterday. Versteeg shouldn't even be playing, he is awful. Team has bigger issues than Versteeg. (who at least has an adequate playoff history, and is currently tied for 4th in our playoff scoring) Like Brandon freaking Bollig playing ahead of Morin, Oduya looking like our worst defense-men this series, etc.

Damn. Now 6'3 252 4.5 40. For comparison, Urlacher was 6'4 258 4.57 40. And I will end the comparisons there .

Thank god, but if Sale is seriously injured later on, just cancel this season. Avisail was bad enough.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 20, 2014 -> 08:33 PM) Hinrich has always been Mr. Choke One of my least favorite Bulls of the past decade. Thank god he is still a slight above average on ball defender, or he'd be borderline useless out there.
