Konerko.

Sox pick Christopher Lee LHP Another high schooler.. yay! hopefully he (and the prior pick) sign. Cubs just picked a local guy.. Chad Noble from Northwestern U.

I firmly believe if he went 9 innings, he would of K'd 19.. maybe 20 hitters. Had what 7 in a row before he was replaced?! Noone was even close to touching him. Shame he was on a pitch count.

Last three sox picks. Dusty Harvard - OF John Spatola - OF Both seniors. Should be easy signs. Benjamin Griset - LHP High schooler (yay. )

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 9, 2010 -> 10:37 AM) Kotsay has 6 HR on the year. Vizquel has markedly positive UZR numbers at 3b and SS, negative numbers at 2b but he's only getting time there because our starting 2b is sucking royally. Kotsay and Vizquel have been adequate at their job. Every time anyone blames this season on Kotsay or Vizquel, God Kills a Kitten. Boy that was a weak argument for someone who wanted him re-sign badly and thought he would have a career year year at age 34 for the whole rotate DH idea. (which is a good idea.. but you don't have the hitters to imply it to) Pierre was what Ozzie wanted to in a slap happy, speedy hitting LF.

Sox picks. Kylin Turnbull LHP - 31 Robert Young LHP - 32 Jarrett Casey LHP - 33 Wonder what crazy idea the sox are doing there.... And they just selected a Chicago Illinois native. Jamaal Hollis RHP - 34th pick.

Cardinals picked Ryan Copeland from ISU.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jun 9, 2010 -> 03:02 AM) Let me just say that I am ecstatic with the amount of great young talent in the bigs right now. We have so many thing to look forward too: Stephen Strasburg Mike Stanton Jason Heyward Wade Davis Brian Matusz Neftali Feliz Bryce Harper This on top of guys like Lincecum, Ubaldo, Longoria. Oh, and hopefully Gordon Beckham. This is the influx of talent we've been waiting for. Thank god most of those guys you listed are in the NL. I'll be jizzing when Strasburg K's 10+ against the Cubs every year.

Good god.

Ozzie and I didn't have to think hard about it. Honestly, though both of those guys are only part of the problem.. The organization as a whole really needs to take a look in the mirror.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Jun 8, 2010 -> 09:25 PM) Ok, where's the crow - Ill eat the whole damed thing. Blow this crap called our team up. Trade em all - start over. Epic fail. All optimism is over. I admire the confession brother. Pat yourself on the back!

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 8, 2010 -> 04:48 PM) Gerry, you really think you're some pimp s*** when it comes to NBA, but this isn't exactly my first rodeo. Sorry you found my Andrew Bynum comment so hysterically bad a month or so ago, even though he's 22 and the entire league thinks highly of him. You also ignored his PER... he's a stud if he stays healthy. Anyway, I guess the moral of this rant is that you can slob my knob, son. Haha, your still on that Bynum comment I blasted you on a month or two ago (I was talking more or less over the years of your "analysis" on players)? Let it go bro, sorry I hurt your feelings.

QUOTE (chisoxfan09 @ Jun 8, 2010 -> 07:08 PM) Great outing by Hudson. He bounced back from a poor start with classic stuff, 10K's and no BB's. Way to go. Morel really struggling. 5 IP 2 H 1 ER 2 BB 5 SO is "poor"? I hope you meant his first month of the season. BTW, I'm glad to see Nunez back in the bullpen. I still like his arm and could be one of those young guys who gets a shot up here (or in his case another one, instead of the cup of tea) Santos Rodriguez continues to settle down and impress lately.

QUOTE (T R U @ Jun 8, 2010 -> 08:49 PM) Geez, how many of you douches are going to be cheering for him to dominate us? Haha I told J4L a couple days ago on the futuresox board don't jizz too hard when he dominates us. The strikeouts are nice but I was more impressed he had 0 BBs! 0 BB in his major league debut. That is just amazing. I'm pissed I missed most of his start (had to take my grandmother to the train station) but I saw the first couple of innings and he hit 99 and I was like damn. I read this thread and I see he hit 101 and 103?! That is just too sick for words. Nats really brought him up nicely to the horrid offenses of the Pirates and the White Sox to really get your feet going at the MLB level. Oh and BTW, they had a pretty nice draft this year to boot. (especially if they somehow sign A.J. Cole to pair with Strasburg as one of the sickest 1-2 punches in the game if he signs and pans out)

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jun 8, 2010 -> 02:59 PM) You probably shouldn't assume the signability of these guys. So a senior who can't be drafted again might just go on and find another field to live his life... I guess that could make alittle sense. But he doesn't have leverage to do anything other than find something else to do with his life. Alright guys I'm out. I'll check out this thread later.

Sox are getting older collegiate players for easy sign the last few picks. Most about 22-23 years old.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jun 8, 2010 -> 02:53 PM) I have it as Schwartz from U Tampa, the same school that Blanke went to. Posters just don't give other posters time to edit things anymore. Should seriously be a 5 minute rule for that.

Sox pick Micheal Schwartz 1B College position player. Older prospect (23 yrs old), easy sign.

QUOTE (lord chas @ Jun 8, 2010 -> 03:44 PM) so im thinking there might be a nice party on madison tomorrow I'm debating if I should go downtown to a bar, or go to a restaurant like Hooters or B dubs (friend want to eat, drink and watch the game) Also depends if we win or not.. Decisions......

Looks like the only guy left I wanted is Cobey Guy. I'll tune in to see where he goes.. though I gotta leave at 4 pm.. so I guess around 10 when I come back on, I'll see where he goes if he isn't picked by 4.

Bah! Mariners took Shipers. Great pick for them if he signs. Mariners have taken alot of guys I liked.

Sox pick Edward McCray RHP College pitcher, older prospect, easy sign. 6'3 235 lbs.. BIG dude.

Sox pick Sean O'Connell. C High schooler Loadin up on catchers now. Sorry Blackwood.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jun 8, 2010 -> 02:43 PM) People really need to stop mentioning Votto as a possibility to be traded. He was quietly shopped this off-season IIRC. Don't know if the Reds will even think of fielding offers for him next off-season however.

It'll be interesting to see the first three college catchers taken this round on how they do in their pro careers. (Seastrunk, Medica, Blanke) Marlins got the other Dan Black.
