QUOTE (JPN366 @ Jun 20, 2011 -> 12:06 AM) So, which players do you guys think should be promoted now that we've reached the end of the 1st half? Position player wise, I'd say that Tyler Kuhn, Christian Marrero, Ian Gac, Jose Martinez, Dan Black, Brady Shoemaker, Juan Silverio, Drew Lee and Ross Wilson seem like obvious choices. Position: Viciedo, Marrero, Kuhn, Shoemaker, Black, Silverio, R. Wilson (maybe Short, but would like to see him develop the discipline a bit more) Pitchers: Thompson, Burnside, Arroyo, Remenowsky (Reinzo/Santiago/Petricka later on. They need more time/innings, maybe Leesman, but would like to see him with better control) Most of those were just off the top of my head. (had to check on Silverio and Thompson)

f*** I haven't been keeping track of this... TCQ.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jun 19, 2011 -> 11:21 PM) Never a bad thing. If he is constantly making it to the 8th inning, then he is doing something right. Not to mention the highest pitch count of his career is 110. Sox will have to monitor his innings as well later on in the season. (never though I'd be saying that about Humber)

QUOTE (Cali @ Jun 19, 2011 -> 10:56 PM) Where did Trayce's eye for the walks come from all of a sudden? Still not hitting very well, but walks and homers are a good combo... He's developing his plate discipline which was what scouts raved about for him in becoming a monster. Still has to develop his overall game, but this is very good news if he can maintain this the whole year. Here is Birmingham's game since Dan likes to slack off. http://web.minorleaguebaseball.com/milb/st...biraax_hunaax_1 Marrero with a nice night.

Only ones I follow (and high on) are Viciedo, Short, Reed, Buch, Reinzo and Thompson. (I just keep a lookout on guys like Dan Black because I've met him before, Gallagher cause he was my sleeper pick two years ago, Marrero cause his situation is a little bit similiar to 07-08 David Cook and Flowers' walk numbers) Oh, though not a prospect, but Shane Lindsay just for the laughs.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 17, 2011 -> 09:40 AM) I really don't understand how Viciedo isn't thought of as a top 10-20 prospect in baseball. Yea, say what you will about the sox farm (and it is well deserved of it) but that guy is legit.

Have alot of them, but I'll narrow the list down to about 5... Andrew McCutchen Ichiro Suzuki (still love watching him play the game) Gio Gonzalez King Felix Clayton Kershaw/Tim Lincecum (flip a coin when they both pitch against each other) I'm assuming this thread is for MLB players only so...

Brandon Short likes to just flat out rake month after month during a season. Did the same exact thing last year at W-S.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 16, 2011 -> 11:40 AM) Not this one. I was against the trade as soon as word got out that Hudson was involved. Go back to that thread and you know my stance on it as well. And Cerb, please post more.

A.J.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 16, 2011 -> 07:45 AM) Whereas I am guessing it is a mechanical problem or injury if he has lost that much velocity, I wouldn't have a problem with a minor league deal. Yea Charlotte could use another arm/starter. Dolsi and Zaleski are terrible.

That is sad really.. in alot of accounts.

Thank god. I feel like the cup would have been tainted if that Canucks team had their names on it. Enjoy it boston, and way to go out Recchi!

King Kong.

For the love of God please Boston, (and I can't believe I'm rooting for a Boston franchise) win the f***ing cup.

QUOTE (OilCan @ Jun 14, 2011 -> 10:19 PM) Daniel Black GRAND SLAM!!! Yeah baby numero doce! Don't care what league it is, 10 RBIs in 3 games is pretty darn cool! My buddy. Homered in 4 straight games and 5 out of his last 6. He is finding that power potential. And Trayce has 13 walks this month!

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 14, 2011 -> 08:56 AM) How do you platoon 3 right handed hitters? I assumed he meant just for Rios and Lillibridge to platoon in CF and leadoff. In which case, you would ask how would you platoon 2 right handed hitters. Well as far as this year... Lillibridge vs RHP: .280/.393/.560/.953 179 OPS+ Rios vs LHP: .266/.284/.344/.627 70 OPS+ (ya well he's much worse vs RHP) Of course we know Ozzie isn't a "stats guy" per se (nor would you platoon Rios, which is is very economically bad from the investment). But I'm sure we all know Viciedo should not be platooned.

Viciedo.

QUOTE (BigEdWalsh @ Jun 13, 2011 -> 07:09 PM) Totally agree. The guy is a class act, works hard and from interviews I've seen seems like a really nice guy. I like him. But, it is pretty apparent he ain't what he used to be. Ditto. Can't do anything with father time however. His speed is leaving him and it's sad to watch. You can get by without it if you had solid technique in stealing bases, but Juan always seemed very average in technique and just lived off speed to get there his whole career.

QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ Jun 14, 2011 -> 06:08 AM) I'd like to agree with you, but over the past week or so J4L has taken it to a whole other level between his hate on the Sox organization and his NBA talk. At least I believe that greg actually believes this because he just likes the white sox so much. Then you don't get him.. at all. I personally think he's an outstanding poster and thoroughly keeps me entertained on this board, which can become very dry of posting styles at times.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jun 6, 2011 -> 07:02 AM) For any of you that know what my one blonde girl roommate looks like - this girl from Saturday night is hotter. Damn.. And the first Saturday I had off in weeks, I went out very late (3 am) to a bar and got some play. Can't wait till my two week vacation comming up.. in two weeks.

I keed. Happy Bday bro.

I was obviously kidding Joecoolman, geez.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jun 12, 2011 -> 12:12 AM) You must not have seen it, but I mentioned a couple pages back that my friend was at the game sitting behind a Yankees scout. I asked her to peer over his shoulder to see what he was writing, and she said he had Humbers name written all over his papers and was making lots of notes. You sure that wasn't just a scouting report for him?

11 Walks in 33 ABs for Trayce. Has to start hitting obviously, but the plate discipline is encouraging.
