QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 13, 2011 -> 09:19 PM) He really is a Jared Mitchell clone Mitchell at age 20, had 40 K's in 115 ABs in Kanny. (.296/.417/.435/.852) Walker (just turned 21) , has 26 K's in only 65 ABs (.182/.260/.212/.472) And Rangel Ravalo is hitting everything in sight. Needs to show an ounce of power though, but good to see.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Aug 13, 2011 -> 10:24 PM) Things I'm noticing: - Carimi is actually really quick when on the run. Surprising speed, good footwork. Didn't look as good on the 2nd drive. Susceptible to speed rushers on the outside. I think he's gonna be a very good RT in the future. He'll obviously have some rookie mistakes, but I really liked what I saw from him. I know Tice has a hard on for Louis and it was only 1 preseason game (not to mention young), but he was really beyond awful. People were saying Williams was going to be the weak link cause of training camp. I guess that is why you play the games.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Aug 13, 2011 -> 07:44 PM) Luke Hochevar sucks. If we don't touch him up for at least 5 runs I will be very angry. I'm sure many were saying that about Bruce Chen all this year too.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Aug 13, 2011 -> 07:36 PM) Of course not, I just think Carimi may be the better player today and in the future. I honestly thought it was strange the Bears moved him to RT. He doesn't have the athletic ability for the left side in the NFL as Webb. He was actually projected as a RT in the future by scouts because of it. Doesn't mean Webb is a better option however, as I think Carimi is the better blocker (though he was further along in development from where Webb was last year).

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 13, 2011 -> 07:29 PM) This Inside Look with Mark Buehrle is awesome television Pretty much down to the Sox and Cardinals at this point.

QUOTE (Bruce_Blixton @ Aug 13, 2011 -> 06:57 PM) Trayce Thompson hit his 20th homer today for Kannapolis; I know his average is still pretty low and K rate is still high but I think if we're patient enough with him he'll develop into a pretty good ballplayer. Also has a high BB rate. He's developing his power and showing patience very nicely this year. Still has things to work on of course, but this year has not been a total bust for him at all.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Aug 13, 2011 -> 10:08 AM) Chipper And the entire Atlanta bench came out after that.. You wanna talk about respect for a man.

QUOTE (buhbuhburrrrlz @ Aug 12, 2011 -> 03:08 AM) TGIF PLZ WIN AT HOME RIOS What's gotten into you this week? Your now picking different guys other than the usual Konerko and Quentin. I'll pick Konerko this game.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Aug 10, 2011 -> 03:24 PM) Super sexiness Pshhh. You just saw my post a while back huh?

Dunn..

God I hate this team. Quit teasing us fans!

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Aug 9, 2011 -> 08:16 AM) I think that trade is more about the fact that we got Pena. And honestly, every Sox fan should be allowed about having traded for him. It was a bad investment who was, at the time, one of the sox top prospects. (sad farm or not) Never was a fan of trading talented prospects for relievers, especially ones who didn't have much of a track record to begin with, but thats just me personally. QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Aug 9, 2011 -> 08:30 AM) Looked damn good last night vs. the dangerous Astros Yes I'm sure every pitcher never has an off night...

Ugh.. I hate Boston and their stellar scouting. Would kill to have a guy like Lavarnway in our system.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Aug 8, 2011 -> 07:47 AM) When you're 15 going on 16, waiting that extra time will kill you, all you want to do is get your license. Meh.. not really. (I guess it depends on the person/situation)

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 8, 2011 -> 08:34 AM) If this was their window, then they're totally screwed anyway. In some instances, that isn't their fault. (well.. the players anyway) This front office has shown they are willing to spend though (at least in the draft), so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. But this is an org. that has been considered cheap for several years now. In some instances, ss2k5 is right once their young studs are gonna wanna be paid down the line before the Taillons, Allies, Sanchez, etc. of the world are established MLB players (if all goes right of course). In alot of ways most of their pitching is clicking (or having career years) at the right time. That may never happen again even with the young talent they could potentially have. They have to land quality FAs/trades though to help them. (which goes back to the cheap issue.. in the past)

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Aug 7, 2011 -> 10:09 PM) So I saw Hudson had a twitter, so I decided to tweet him that Sox fans wish he was still on the roster. He actually replied back: That's awesome. And I hope he continues to stick it to KW, Cooper and the rest of the sox org.

QUOTE (Bruce_Blixton @ Aug 7, 2011 -> 09:00 PM) To be fair that team has lost a lot of pretty solid players so far this season like Ravelo, Collin Kuhn, Kevan Smith, Carlos Sanchez, etc. On the other hand Great Falls has been mediocre and extremely underwhelming all year. No doubt, though it's crazy to see Smith struggling this much which seemed like a seamless "jump" (if you even wanna call it that) to GF from Bristol. Still early for him though.

On another note, play Tyler Flowers more Ozzie!

Damn shame that Johnson and Buckner are the only two guys carrying that Bristol team.

Ugh... another tease series for the sox after getting their asses handed to them by the Yankees. Thought some of you would learn by now. Now if they go on a run from here and take the next few series then that is different, but that is usually not the M.O. of this organization.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Aug 7, 2011 -> 05:37 PM) Morel has gotten more of a pass because he's a rookie, he's good defensively, he's worked his ass off, and because he's not getting paid 8 digits a year. Simple, no? QUOTE (Cerbaho-WG @ Aug 7, 2011 -> 05:38 PM) Yes, let's pull the plug on a rookie who is one of the better defensive 3B in baseball. Smart. Sorry boys. Logic is slowly leaving this site.

Anyone who got rid of that Wells contract (without even paying a cent of that contract) is already top 10 in my book.
