QUOTE (mmmmmbeeer @ Jun 22, 2010 -> 03:45 PM) Are Viciedo's splits vs. RHP and LHP that drastic of a difference? I'd look myself but I'm not sure where to find ml splits LHP: .364/.426/.800/1.226 4/11 BB:SO ratio (55 ABs) RHP: .268/.298/.443/.741 4/41 BB:SO ratio (183 ABs)

Hmmm.... seems the Pacers would trade their #10 pick for a PG (want defense, high I.Q.) and also would like to move down in the draft as the guy they are targeting is projected to be much lower. If I'm the Bulls, that might be the perfect match to trade Hinrich to (+ the 17th pick if need be), and I believe Bird likes Hinrich alot. This would allow the Bulls to draft Henry/George. (Anderson I'm falling out of favor of) Rose needs a tall SG to play off of, not to mention gives him more touches with the basketball without another short PG playing SG.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jun 22, 2010 -> 02:21 PM) I'll be there for a Soxtalkers wedding (Shipps). I'll be in Miami for 2 days and than Orlando for 3 days. October 10th, 11th, and part of the 12th. I think we are going to do Disneyland on the 10th and than haven't decided between Sea world (my wife took a lot of oceanography classes and absolutely loves sea world out here and marine animals in general), Universal or whatever for the 11th. We'll probably lounge on the 12th at the hotel pool. Let me know, drinks would be great. TAKE ACE WITH YOU!!!

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Jun 22, 2010 -> 01:19 PM) So you're saying there's been worse? :notworthy

QUOTE (TitoMB @ Jun 22, 2010 -> 01:34 PM) I believe 100% that there is SOMEONE in our minor league system that can do what he's doing, or better. And I say that knowing almost nothing about our farm system. There's just no way someone couldn't come up and do even a little better. I think some advocated Torres (who is too good for AAA now) or Hudson for months now, especially when it has been Pena picking up the loose change of innings when our starters have struggled. To be fair though, nobody knew our rotation would struggle this much, but management should of made a move much sooner then expected too.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Jun 22, 2010 -> 01:30 PM) Pierre LF Vizquel 3B Rios CF Konerko 1B Quentin RF Kotsay DH Pierzynski C Ramirez SS Beckham 2B Danks P I know I've missed a few sox games recently, but Kotsay is NOT batting 5th?! Praise Jesus.

Line-ups anyone?

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jun 22, 2010 -> 12:25 PM) 6th worst ever in a 110 year sample size. My lord why the f*** is he here?! Someone answer that please. I think chw put it best.. QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 22, 2010 -> 12:18 PM) It's because Ozzie loves to play bullpen matchups. Thing is.. Williams hasn't even been asked much to do just LOOGY work with Ozzie. I feel like I've said this about 1000 times, that was my main beef with KW the entire off-season is not finding that solid second lefty to pair with Thornton, especially cause Ozzie likes said match-ups. I just hate micro-managing.

Konerko.

QUOTE (SHIPPS @ Jun 22, 2010 -> 08:53 AM) Since I have already excluded myself from Whitesox dreams I cant watch anymore because that would be shipp jumping. They have been doing well without me quite frankly so I dont want to ruin their success and get into following every game again. Still not a team I am dying to watch...sorry just saying. I'm stuck as well, I do want to watch tonight though, but they are 3-0 in this stretch when I didn't watch. I'll just watch and if they lose, I'll take the blame for it.

QUOTE (mmmmmbeeer @ Jun 22, 2010 -> 09:43 AM) Ozzie gets credit for those? Really? It was just plain ignorant to sit both Paulie and Alex on the same day when you're already running without a DH. Ozzie gets credit for having Peavy on the bump to bail his sorry ass lineup out after they scored 1 freaking run. He gets credit for putting a former closer in to close out a game in which his regular close was unavailable? Peavy was at what, like 90 pitches heading to the 9th...why wouldn't he stay in and, even if he didn't, we've got a pretty good bullpen. I hate to be an OG hater, but I think he's pretty much had nothing to do with this streak, nor has KW....this is all on the players starting to perform. The past few "sporadic" weeks man, your post have been a pleasure to see. Post more.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Jun 21, 2010 -> 11:55 AM) Taking the family to Alaska for two weeks. Grandmother just came back yesterday from there. Got me a shirt, and has not stopped talking about the trip. She had a blast.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Jun 21, 2010 -> 09:46 PM) He's the youngest hitter on the team. Not much of a lineup around him though. I would put " " on youngest.

QUOTE (girlslikebaseballtoo#26 @ Jun 21, 2010 -> 06:51 PM) Phegley is in Bristol. He's there to get some AB's in. Supposed to be there for a week, looks like he'll be catching 3 diff games ..5 innings then 7 innings then he will catch a full 9 inning game. When he's not catching he's supposed to be in as DH. I can't tell you how much many of us appreciate the updates from you (and Chase). Much thanks Bren!

QUOTE (ZoomSlowik @ Jun 21, 2010 -> 06:21 PM) No thank you. Paying $14 mil a year (or more) for a guy that would probably average 14-9 outside of D'Antoni's offensive system doesn't sound appealing at all. 14 mil wouldn't work anyways if you add a LeBron. I was saying more or less around 10 mil or so. That dude works his ass off every year in any area he is weak at. Depends also on Hinrich and what we do with him. (which you have to assume Deng would be gone in a certain scenario) Wouldn't be bad at all in my eyes, but like I said... if worst comes to worst.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Jun 21, 2010 -> 02:59 PM) :headbang Great, now I have to clean my computer.

QUOTE (knightni @ Jun 21, 2010 -> 12:54 PM) Honestly, I expect LeBron, DWade, Nowitzki, Joe Johnson, Ray Allen, and David Lee to stay with their same teams. He criticized the Hawks fans and front office and was heavily booed in the playoffs. I'll be beyond shocked if Johnson stayed in Atlanta. (same with Boozer in Utah) If Lee stays with NY, they will only have room to sign one max FA also. I think they would rather have Bosh and persuade LeBron/Wade to come with him. I've said it before too, I would LOVE Lee if worst comes to worst (with a LeBron/Wade of course). Put he and Rose in Thibo's defensive camp and he could be a stud with his work ethic. (he's made a Noah-like progression in improvement in a TON of areas in his game) It will be interesting though to see him as a third-type option on a contending team since he was pretty much the guy in NY.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 21, 2010 -> 03:07 PM) I'll be very happy if Flowers can match the numbers of Mike Napoli. That was his comparison comming in. I'd be trilled with that. Also wite has been on the money in this thread.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Jun 21, 2010 -> 01:40 AM) And if you want to get more depressed, think of the 2011 lockout. I try not to personally. A year without football... I'll die alot inside.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 21, 2010 -> 12:37 AM) Twice? I must be smoking too much weed then. Haha, well that isn't the first time you've said that either bro. My two post about him here and here and my usual announcement of my Dexter Fowler/Rockies second favorite team mancrush here on the Cubs thread I post on from time to time.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 21, 2010 -> 01:26 AM) Man, what is with you and Garrett Jones? Your obsession is very similar to that of Glenn Close's with Michael Douglas. I've only mentioned him twice in that Cubs thread. He rapes the Cubs when he sees them yes (though I rarely catch Cubs games and rarely talk about them at all), but I like his game. Now Dexter Fowler, Cole Hamels, or Miguel Cabrera on the other hand.... well.... call me their stalker.

Well I was one of the first on the Berkman bandwagon since the off-season (still like him a bit.. I mean who would want to be up to play for a terrible Stros team?) but since I'll "jump the gun" here or "play along" in this thread with the sox playing well, one name I like (maybe it's because I think he is underrated) and who can fit more financially for the sox (with the same versatility Ozzie likes) is Garrett Jones.
