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.

To all of you. :cheers :cheers

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 20, 2014 -> 10:11 AM) Boxer Rubin "the Hurricane" Carter, the man the authorities came to blame for something that he never done, died at age 76. Was only a matter of time after battling cancer this long (like a typical fighter). Funny thing is, I just watched that movie a couple days ago.

Right there with Dan on the Trayce bandwagon.. well.. I need to be considering how much I've pimped him up since he was drafted. Micah however, has been one of the biggest surprises in our whole minors.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 17, 2014 -> 08:03 AM) Leury was fun to watch pitch. He hit 88 and had a lot of movement. Danks wants Leury to teach him how to throw his sinker. I also blame the OP for this loss. **bad omen**

Trey Michalczewski has an impressive walk rate going on.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Apr 15, 2014 -> 11:03 PM) You have to do it the day of.. What are you doing??! Yea he might of f***ed himself up already. Usually that's a bad omen right there.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 14, 2014 -> 09:55 PM) No Brook Lopez this year. Bulls were also 2-1 against them in the regular season. That and home court make me pretty confident the Bulls can beat the Nets in the first round. It won't be easy, but it's doable. And that one loss was in March when Brooklyn finally started getting their s*** together (Bulls first two wins were earlier in the year). I'd much rather face the Wizards/Bobcats and their lack of playoff experience, but avoiding Miami till the ECF is just too good to pass up personally.

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 14, 2014 -> 09:20 PM) Keon Barnum--Kannapolis by June or sooner? Tim Anderson has been worse. Still think he should of repeated Kanny.

I still can't believe Alexei is this hot in freakin' April. Great to see.

All I know is another player on the Hawks better get on the "luck" mullet. Kane first did it in 2010, we won the cup. Then Kane AND Saad did it last year, we win the cup a second time.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Apr 10, 2014 -> 09:30 AM) If I were a Bills fan, I would cut my wrist the long way and end it all. Just sayin', not like there's any Bills fans in here to offend, of course. **Watch for wite on suicide watch**

QUOTE (Jose Paniagua @ Apr 10, 2014 -> 09:15 AM) Heh, well those seasons and those players are a bit higher stakes. As long as Avi is 100% eventually, thats fine. it surely wont be after our team is really good again. You still don't want to see a 22 year old player who is still developing (crazy to think most players at his age are prospects in A+ ball) as a player essentially have a full season taken away from him. I hope to god he's alright, and best case misses a couple days.
