QUOTE (chw42 @ May 17, 2011 -> 12:19 AM) He has 4 WAR already? Holy s***. 3.9 to be exact. I just rounded up.

This is a little off-topic, but is this upcoming draft the worst of, like, the last 20 years? There's nobody that I can see being a game-changer. A bunch of role players. MAYBE an all-star mixed in there somewhere.

QUOTE (JPN366 @ May 17, 2011 -> 12:03 AM) Kenny Williams Jr. is now batting .190, batting leadoff, playing everyday. This has to stop. KW Jr. or Juan Pierre? Wow. This franchise is home to some of the worst players in baseball, majors and minors.

lol@Jose Bautista's .500 ISO, .572 wOBA and 4.0 WAR. He's been the complete opposite of Juan Pierre, Brent Morel, Adam Dunn, Alex Rios, Mark Teahen, f*** it, any White Sox player not named Paul Konerko.

Pineda with 6 swinging Ks. And this Twins team is terrible. Figures the year they fall off the map is the same year we have our worst year since '07.

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 16, 2011 -> 10:16 PM) Oh cmon. Rios is not a good baseball hitter. He's proven that already in a Sox uniform. greg, you're not understanding me. From a pure talent standpoint, Rios is off the charts. The production doesn't come anywhere close to matching the talent. Juan Pierre has none. It's not surprising that he sucks. Get what I'm saying?

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ May 16, 2011 -> 10:11 PM) He's just now making a believer out of you? That kid is freakin loaded with talent. When I say that I mean that I think he has a chance to be special. Not just good.

Michael Pineda is making a believer of J4L. See the benefits of identifying and then signing legitimate talent from Latin America? The Mariners might in time have the best 1-2 combo in the majors and didn't need a draft pick.

I'll simplify this: KW was bad at his job from 2001 through 2003. KW was brilliant at his job from 2004-2007. KW has been been at his job from 2008 to the present. So more bad than good. He must go.

QUOTE (DirtySox @ May 16, 2011 -> 09:22 PM) Yea. Baseball Prospectus. That's an awesome site by the way. My friend has a subscription. They kill fangraphs. They're just not free.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 16, 2011 -> 09:55 PM) It's just crazy how little Rios and Pierre have done to help us win games this season. At least with Morel and Beckham, they played a huge part in a few of our wins. Rios is perplexing. Juan Pierre is just a bad baseball player *cue Shack getting upset because I called Pierre bad and I'm not in the major leagues*. But Rios is as gifted as just about any player in baseball outside of the Uptons.

And this is why the 6-3 road trip meant nothing to me. This team is going to have to go on a September Rockies-like run until I take them seriously.

Juan Pierre: Too big, too fast, too strong, too good.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ May 16, 2011 -> 09:11 PM) Man, does it seem like these guys just aren't even trying? It did not look like Dunn even jogged to first on his DP, Peña didn't even attempt to cover 1B earlier, and Beckham didn't seem to try to get that ball. Dunn really needs to drop a few pounds. I don't recall him ever being as big as he is now.

Thank goodness for Extra Innnings. I'm going to watch me some Michael Pineda.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ May 16, 2011 -> 08:36 PM) Make it 10-0 Wait until Choo/Santana start hitting.

Indians up 8-0 on the Royals. But don't worry. They'll soon come crashing back to earth and will easily make up the 10 game deficit.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ May 16, 2011 -> 08:30 PM) Yankees want to trade Montero for EJ then AJ could go also. Wait, what?

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ May 15, 2011 -> 09:27 PM) They have to win 3 more, and then 4 after that. But if they play like this all series, Miami has no chance. I get that. But this team has earned my respect. I've got nothing left to say. Taj Gbson is the greatest player to ever play the game.

I'm done. This Bulls team is amazing.

I don't believe this s***. I'm no longer questioning this team. This defense is stupendous.

I'm done doubting the Bulls. Their defense is late 90's Jordan-led like.

Ship his ass out. Felix MUST go.

How did Luol Deng get so good?

I been worried about Bosh for the last 4 days. He's been killing us.
