Scary thing is.. Miggy will improve, and has improved since he got to the AL every year. I told you guys he is worth every penny.

For those who didn't see this catch. http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/video/play...tent_id=7977171 I hate Pierre (though I now sound like a broken record) but his reaction was hilarious.

Derek Holland (who was brutal last year for Texas, though that was Texas' fault for pretty much making him skip AAA) gets called up after owning in AAA and gives a good outing against the A's. 6 IP 5 H 0 R 0 ER 1 BB 7 SO Texas calling up their future this season. (Smoak/Holland/Ramirez) Gotta figure guys like Scheppers, Strop/Hunter, Perez, etc.. are not far behind. Still need work on drafting pitching, but not a bad future for them. John Ely after his bad debut has been lights out since. Currently has a 3.86 ERA 1.02 WHIP .225 BA. I'm rooting for the Illinois native. Shame he couldn't pitch for his favorite childhood team of our White Sox.

QUOTE (Cali @ May 12, 2010 -> 11:39 PM) Before we get too excited about Short, lets all remember Jeremy Reed his .400 too, and he could take a walk.... Jeremy Reed was and still is sexy. My W-S team killin it this year, Just as I predicted.

If LeBron joins Chicago, and we get a couple of snipers, Rose could literally average 12 APG. Work on your defense and 3 point shooting kid, and you will probably be the best PG in the game at the age of 22.

Philly is the first team in 35 years to come back from 3-0 down to tie a series. They have a chance to pull a Boston Red Sox and become the first team to come back from 3-0 down to win a series. (I think 60 years)

OMG the Canadians are up 4-0 in the 2nd period. They are gonna shock the world AGAIN. Washington AND Pittsburgh? They'll be quite a story if they made it to the finals. Never seen a team with so much heart playing out their minds. (especially Halak)

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 12, 2010 -> 04:02 PM) BTW, does Quentin have a wife? I think so? Got married I believe a year ago. (hence fathom's reference) Gavin Floyd just got married this winter, and look at how his season is going so far.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ May 12, 2010 -> 04:00 PM) Actually it should be in the Minor League Thread. If hes called up to the Sox then its important to talk about in the White Sox forum. Agreed. This thread would have been perfect in the catch all thread on the futuresox board.

Hell at this point, I would put LeBron at the 2 and not think twice. Rose James Deng Gibson Noah I mean.. it's LeBron James! Give him and Rose some snipers from 3 point range (those two don't need a low post guy, more-so snipers) and you are good to win 6 more titles. Pick two of Allen, Korver, Miller, Morrow, Reddick maybe a defensive stopper in Bell (or keep Hinrich.. ugh) plus your draft pick on perhaps a big man.. wow. Now.. having said all this, I would rather us trade Deng for a good PF or a good SG in a S&T just because I'm not a Deng fan.

QUOTE (docsox24 @ May 12, 2010 -> 02:59 PM) i sure hope not as valentin was my least favorite sox player of all time Your not alone on Valentin. Didn't like him at all, but LOVED his stache though.

Thought Heads would love that one.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ May 12, 2010 -> 03:05 PM) Per Cowley, Jones not expected to play Friday either. We must treat him like a delicate flower. Always said that.

I'm just glad there is finally a thread on this guy and not Beckham.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 12, 2010 -> 02:44 PM) They aren't already? Of course, if the Tigers 1-2-3-4 in the batting order continues to resemble the American Dreams from Baseball Stars on Nintendo, then they might have a battle. The Tigers will give them fits all season. I love their 95+ nasty slider etc.. bullpen and my boy Miggy is IMO, the best hitter in the AL. Tigers have their weaknesses too, but I'm talking more or less for the Twins to beat the TBs, Yankees, etc.. of the world in the playoffs. I can't take a team with Nick Punto as their 3B seriously even with the M&Ms and their stud offense.

The sox need winning streaks or series wins. This taking splits or losing 2/3 etc.. is not going to cut it. If anyone thinks that is good for us, you are seriously delusional.

If the Twins get a 3B by the deadline (maybe another arm in the bullpen though Rauch is shutting me up about the closer role) than the Twins should be in real good shape to take the division. Nick Punto is not going to cut it come playoff time.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ May 12, 2010 -> 02:40 PM) It's amazing how much Carlos Quentin sucks. Like I said earlier. Everyone is talking about Beckham (on this site with the threads and in the media) but Quentin has looked much worse than he has.

Alex Rios is just a joy to watch out there. Still laugh when I see the threads last year calling him a waste/KW's worst move ever, etc..

QUOTE (Felix @ May 12, 2010 -> 01:37 PM) I would be shocked if we went into next year with Jefferson on the roster. I have a feeling the Timberwolves roster is going to look quite different next year. They will trade him for sure. Only question is where.

Ozzie might have to bat Quentin 8th or 9th and move Alexei up to the 7th spot at this point. f*** if only Konerko would have kept that fair. Already knew after he grounded out the game was over.

Poor Danks.

And the sox back to winning a game, getting our hopes up, and of course losing the last one (or two)

Konerko was our best chance. Damn Jones why did you have to get a stiff neck already.

f***. Don't like our chances now.
