QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 29, 2012 -> 08:34 PM) Okay, I over-exaggerated by a bit, but Saladino's not the type of prospect who's going to consistently put up 25, 30, 35 steals at the major league level. The one plus is he should walk a lot more than Morel, so there's that. Hopefully more XB hits than Brent has shown the ability to generate at the MLB level (I know some will argue the "real" Brent was the one we saw the last 6 weeks and that this version is an impostor). Again I said excluding the 07 year which would make 25 SB the peak..... I was thinking moreso 15-20 which is possible and fits. He really isn't like Morel at all imo.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 29, 2012 -> 04:27 PM) Except Saladino's never going to nab 30-50 bags. He doesn't have that type of speed and athleticism. He actually sounds like another version of Morel, lol. Doesn't really wow with any one skill (actually, Morel was known as a better defender)...not going to be project to anything more than maybe 12-15 homers, 18 tops, at the major league level. I dont know how Phillips gives you a range to 50 sb especially when I said excluding his 2007 season.

I feel like Saladino if he reaches his ceiling could be Brandon Phillips like, not including his 2007 year.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Apr 28, 2012 -> 03:18 PM) I know Thibs is an intense guy. But he just look defeated up there. He got really agitated when he was questioned about leaving Rose in with the game well in hand. Hopefully Goth's source is right and not just full of s***. Well among other things he had to know people were going to be attacking him for leaving starters in especially Rose after the injuries during meaningless minutes. Maybe now he will stop doing it after 2 years of people complaining.

Wouldn't it being the last thing checked be a good thing if anything, would make you think wasn't his main concern or he'd check it first.

And he still leaves rest of starters in. Quit being dumb and if game out of hand get guys on the bench

Why does thibs always leave starters in for garbage time, it's his one big flaw and something people have been complaining about for 2 seasons.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Apr 28, 2012 -> 01:59 PM) Wanting to take Hawes over Noah was possibly the poorest judgement of my entire life. Thank God that worked out for us. I wanted yi so only saved by him being taken before us.

Is it possible rose doesn't take the last shot at the end of every quarter?

QUOTE (dasox24 @ Apr 27, 2012 -> 04:14 PM) Yeah, but that's only with the field goal block unit. And he's a rare exception b/c he's great at blocking kicks. If the Bears are talking about McClellin being used in all 4 phases of special teams, then they've screwed up. You never want that out of a 1st round guy. It's like they're already hedging their bets if he sucks b/c they can say "Well, look, he's a great special teamer." Or people are making a big deal about nothing. Is it not possible they are just saying he has the ability to play special teams among other things...

It seems like the one position Illinios can recruit well at is QB.

It's pretty funny how some people are calling it a missed opportunity or a failed pick before the guy even puts the uniform on.... Fine to not be a fan of the move but jesus back off from the ledge and wait till you see the kids play in the NFL before jumping off.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Apr 26, 2012 -> 09:32 PM) Uh I trust NE brass a hell of alot more than Chicago and until tonight NE has drafted pretty much last 4 picks in first round for years crapshot postion. The first round of the nfl no matter where isn't a crapshoot, if you don't draft a solid contributor to your team it's a 100% fail.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Apr 26, 2012 -> 09:22 PM) Also Michael Haynes 2.0.................................NE has moved up twice now shows how much talent was overdrafted! The pats have drafted terribly the past few years, using that as your way of saying bears overdrafted doesnt fit.

The whitesox better be having base running and bunting lessons all weekend long, I can't watch a game like this again it pisses me off too much.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 25, 2012 -> 09:21 AM) As soon as we DON'T have to worry about Brady Shoemaker being left unprotected, that might be a sign of progress for our system. Remember all the hub-bub about Doyle and Kuhn? I still wonder how bad the Marlins' system must have been that Ozzie Martinez and J'han Marinez where middle of the Top 10 picks at one point. Doubt he'll even come close to Maurice Gartrell/David Cook level, let alone Aaron Cunningham or even Ryan Sweeney. Ryan Sweeney is producing in the majors and Cunningham was a pretty decent prospect so don't know how they belong with Doyle/Kuhn and Gartrell/Cook discussion

I thought Thor was easily the worse movie of the bunch so far, which was extra disappointing because I heard nothing but good things before seeing it.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 24, 2012 -> 12:23 PM) Unless we line up someone to trade him to, or dump someone like Paul Konerko, there is no way we will have the dollars for that. So unless the park starts filling up, forget it. If peavy continues to pitch like an ace the team will probably contend or he will be traded at the all star break this season anyways, if the former happens the attendance will pickup.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 24, 2012 -> 01:11 PM) A 500ish season is silly? I sure don't think so. No, being satisfied with .500 because of having "kids" on the team is silly when the only 2 with potential are Viciedo ans Sale. Have some young Bp arms too but that's one spot I expect results young or not.

QUOTE (knightni @ Apr 23, 2012 -> 11:20 PM) If they score a 4th run, Peavy will get a chance to get the CG SHO. After the 3rd run if there was any doubt I think Peavy was going to get a shot, but now no doubt. Nice giving our pen rest during a decent stretch with no offday.

I don't think Lillibridge is much better of an OF than Viciedo... if not now I think as he gets more and more time out there it will be very apparent.

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ Apr 23, 2012 -> 10:44 PM) Does Danks work out of the bullpen during the playoffs? Right now, he's our #5 starter. Are you seriously asking that in April?

QUOTE (Jake @ Apr 23, 2012 -> 06:57 PM) So basically what you're saying is..."I'll believe the Sox are for real when they have played more games" I, too, would have more faith if we played more games and were still playing winning baseball. With how last season ended and hiring a rookie manager and letting Buehrle go expectations were low to start the season and it was the Baltimore Orioles..... I'll worry if the attendance is terrible when Red Sox come to town.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Apr 22, 2012 -> 06:05 PM) No, I spoke only for myself. You spoke for the rest of the world. You responded to two people claiming they disagreed with you and than said its simple to see the bhawks are being outplayed... that pretty much is saying anyone watching would see it your way.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Apr 22, 2012 -> 03:43 PM) So I'm wrong because I disagree? Got it. You just said the same thing in the post above mine by saying its pretty simple to see the bhawks been outplayed.... thats implying that we are wrong because we disagreed with you....
