QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Jun 19, 2011 -> 01:30 AM) Try the next decade. Veeck set that up. Baines and Burns were drafted. Hoyt was acquired by giving up Bucky Dent. Dotson by giving up Brian Downing. Kittle was a minor league free agent Walker was a Rule 5 pickup R. Law came from Espy who Veeck drafted V. Law came from Baumgarten who Veeck drafted Compare: Beckham, Morel and Sale were drafted. Quentin was acquired for Chris Carter. Humber was a minor league free agent A.J. was a waiver pickup Santos was given to the Sox by SF Ramirez was a cheap free agent Thornton came from Borchard who KW drafted Danks came from McCarthy who KW drafted Talking 2005: Jenks as a waiver pickup, Dye as a cheap-ish free agent, Crede, Buehrle, Garland and Rowand developed. Iguchi as a cheap free agent, Pods acquired for a free agent-to be C. Lee, and Contreras acquired for a fading Loaiza. Seems like KW hasn't done the worst job in the world. Record 1976-1984 (1981-84 Veeck's "legacy"): One division Title, .487 winning % Record 2000-2008 (An equal 9 years of KW): Three division Titles, One Championship, .534 winning %

Out with the old, in with the new!

Aw man...

It's in the 10 commandments, you heathen.

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Jun 18, 2011 -> 02:01 AM) Veeck new he could never win in the free agent game so he decided to put his money in development. This is where changes need to be made but I wouldn't be surprised this organization will be stuck with waisting money on hit and miss free agents because of their hit and miss drafting and development. The MLB first year player draft began in 1965. Prior to 1965, there was open free agency for high school and college players. So, the biggest boys got the best players - the Yankees, Dodgers, Giants, and Cards. Veeck, known for his frugality, couldn't really get the top young guys prior to '65, either. Veeck owned the team the second time from 1976-1980. Steve Trout (1976 #10) and Harold Baines (1977 #1) were good. No pick in 1978, Steve Buechele (1979 #9 - Did not sign) Rick Seilheimer (1979 compensation), and Cecil Espy (1980 #8) really weren't. Ross Baumgarten (1977 20th rnd), and Britt Burns (1978 third rnd) are the only other non 1st rnd draft picks from 1976-1980 that even sniffed the roster as a member of the Sox. I don't see how this is better than what KW has done.

My normal temp is like 96 or 97 - lower than normal. Rarely have I been sick enough to go over 100, let alone 104. Yikes.

Perhaps, "Do not desire your neighbor's ass?"

Athomeboy, I'm very sorry that your daughter is so sick. BigEdWalsh, thanks a lot. I have Kenny Loggins in my head now.

Konerko

If Kong, AJ, and Buehrle all leave in one offseason, the average fan will be very upset.

WTF. What kind of horses*** is this thread? Take your hate and post on ESPN where no one cares about posting quality.

A starting OF gets seriously injured. Otherwise, he won't be up til Sept 1.

QUOTE (kapzk @ Jun 17, 2011 -> 11:59 PM) his contract terminates after 2014 That's how long that he'll be around then.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 17, 2011 -> 11:56 PM) How much longer to we have to watch Alex Rios? He is total garbage. How long is his contract?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 17, 2011 -> 11:54 PM) I think we all admitted that a couple innings ago. I've been avoiding the thread.

I'd just like to be Mr. Obvious and point out that much of this game so far is not really Edwin Jackson's fault.

Drew is good too.

Those aren't humans, those are hockey fans.
